Cure for Egg-Eating Hens.

The following is recommended az .
very effective remedy for egg-eating
hens: Remove the inside of a, number
of eggs and fill in with cayenne pep
per and mustard, equal parts. As fast
as eaten, replace with more for three
days, at.the end of which time you will
find the hens will leave eggs alone.
The egg eating habit is very bad
one. The older hens will soon teach
it to the younger ones. Better take
the matter in hand before it gets too
far along.
