Treating Broody Hens.

The propensity says an ex-
change, "of some hens to sit, in
season and out on eggs, stones or
anything that comes handy, is one of
the most grievous Affections Of the
poultry farmer" The article then
goes on to relate a novel method of
upsetting the calculations of the
most persistent biddy, when attacked
with the brood5 fever. In the alb
sence Of proof, we would not like to
severely comment on the plan,
which appears to be more novel than
effective, for it consists Of putting
cheap watch in an oval-shaped case,
and putting it in the nest. It's tick
ing is said to alarm the hen and
make heruneasy, and after ineffectu-
ally trying to get rid of the noisy
intruder, she hops off and runs round
for a while. On her return she be-
comes more uneasy than ever, and
finally gives up the job in disgust.
AS already intimated, we give the
idea for what it is worth. Perhaps
the idea will lay the foundation for
Newsome Years amusement. At
any rate, perusal of the article re-
ferred to. reminds us that this is a
seasonable subject. Lots of hens
will, at this time of year, suddenly
discover an insane desire to become
mothers. The poultryman will just
as certainly have other plans, and so
it will be war to the knife (some-
times the aXe).
The main thing in treating brood |
les is to be prompt, removing them
from the nest straightaway. A night
" round Of the nest will save a great
deal of bother. No matter what
plan is used to break off the desire,
where possible, the simplest plan to
break upa broody hen is to simply
put her outside her pen and let her
camp there until cured. Where this
is not possible, an ordinary coop in
the pen will generally fix her up in
a few days. Be sure to place the
coop where it is in full view of theI
other birds, so she will see them
and long to get out. If the ordinary
coop doesn't act, tack Stats across
he bottom about three inches apart,
md stand the coop on four bricks or
raise it from the ground.
This prevents biddy being able to sit
lown in comfort and coOls her ardor.
Another plan is to make a Slated {
,oop in a similar way and hang it at Y
some height from the ground. 1t has {
not only the same effect as the one t
IN bricks, but every time the hen {
gets excited and kicks around. the

ations are anything but attractive

until cured, but one day he threw a

the poor farmer gave up the job in
disgust.
Another plan sometimes adopted
is the leg rope. This is generally
condemned, but as matter Of fact,
is a most effective cure, and if the
string is carefully tied to prevent
injury, there is no real reason
against the practice. AT the same
time some Of the former are easier
to try and quite as effective. Aus

The buoy has a conical shaped top

open cage. In the depression the nest
hes been placed, and here the birds
will raise their family, free from mo-

Good Looking Young Woman in

An attractive and altogether "bOn-

hood days in Edinburg and London.
Although without any undue amount
Of self-consciousnes or egotism, says
the Philadelphia Record, she is some
times annoyed by the very evident
admiration she attracts in public
places
The other day, while dining in a
restaurant, she fancied that the man
opposite was preparing to speak to
her, as he glanced her way, and
seemed to be making up his mind to
open conversation. The young wom-
ar assumed most frigid air and
looked as unapproachable as the arctic
pole.
The man as he left the table made
one more half-heArted attempt to
speak, blushed red to his ears, then
hurried away. When the young WON

last winter 10 foxes, and still the hunt

en- the track of a big fox for several
days, but could not get a shot. 1t
was left for the dog to do the trick
alone and earn his own tax for the
year.
In his masters absence one day the
dog started out alone and was gone all
day. About nightfall the family heard
haying near by, and saying quite
plainly: Il have a fox cOrnered, and
