garden. 20 he set 10 work some time
ago TO devise a hen that couldn't scratch

After many discOuragements he claims

These hens. he asserts. have a right

four inches. They are unable 70 wander

Another Sussex county man says a
Plymouth Rock hen has just Matched
out q brood Of eleven chickens. which
instead OF walking like ordinary chick

peculiarly BY the fact that during the
period Of incubation the mother hen was
viciously attacked BY a flock OF spar

Aside from furnishing a remarkable
example of parental influence the case
OF the hopping chickens IS calculated
10 furnish a strong argument for those
who contend that the hen that matches
