chickens through parental Influence. The rudiments of training, indeed. they acquire from the patient 1aothersbird whose ability to occupy sedentary po- sitIon for three weeks has mad9 their lives possible; but the higher educa- tion it Is impossible to teach thena ex- cept by direct appeal, to which they are not always amenable. en
 It is this fact that makes tAs vast difference between the chicks lneuba- ted and reared artificially and fhose matched and raised by their real or their foster mother, The latter inva- riably show a superior practical edu- cation, which stands them tn good stead in their battle for a Livelihood; while the former are generally en- dowed with a thoretical knowledge of diet and hygiene that makes them, for all that they are a trifle viaionary, superior leaders of successive broods from the founding asylum which is the first home of the orphans after theif delivery from the incubator. In- cubator chicks-here Is laid down one of the cardinal principles of Chicken dom--are moro docile and more thtel- iigent than those which enter the world by natural incubation.
 Tn conclusion, then, I sum up with this device; so far as 1t is possible to learn the characters and dispositions of your fowls; use persuasion rather than violence, playing upon the weakness or strength or vanity of each one; lead when you can, compel when yOu nlusts be firm even in your kindness; cajole rather than threaten; and remember that the bird that can lay and won't. though it can not be made to, may vet find place in the bosom of your family or In a portion of the anatomy not far removed.
