The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01

Late in the afternoon Cor 'Fevening,'
as Our neighbors called it), Jack and I
went down into the village and brought
back the three hens in the boxes they
had selected for their brooding opera
tions, cloth being carefully wrapped
around each. We tried not to joggle
them overmuch, but the road was sandy
all the way, and rough in many places,
and it was not the easiest task in the
world to keep Our balance. Jack had
the largest box, and I the two others
tucked securely under Our arms. We
walked, as Jack laughingly said, as
though we were treading on eggs, but
all the same my good brother came a
cropper just as we entered our gate.
I was ahead, and hearing very ener-
getic exclamation, turned to behold the
big box on the ground, with Jack sprawl
ing on top like spread eagle, but
valant1y holding down the cloth that

long, and enough heavier pieces, rafters,
to make ten posts four feet long.
These we nailed together so as to
make five frames Or panels ten feet
long and four feet high. The bottom
of each section was an eight inch board,
and a little above the center, or nearly
three feet from the bottom, the batten
was nailed on. Not right along the
top, you see, but foot below There
was a reason, and everyone who is
versed in chicken lore knows what that
reason was-that it is a rare thing for
one of these often aggravating birds to
fly over a fence where they can see no
top rail to alight on en- route. Even
the flighty Leghorn will hesitate under
such circumstances.
"Now, what next?" I asked Mollie
Next thing is to bring around that
roll of poultry netting I bought in Jack
sonville, and get file, or something that
will cut it, We will want five lengths,
each ten feet, four inches long, and
tackled on to the bottom board and the
sides, and stretched tight across the top
where there is no rail When you've got
this done, we'll have the making of
nice, solid worm fence that will keep
the hens just where we want them for
the present.
AS Queen Mollie ordered, so did we,
and then 10, it needed but the addi-
ton of some stout cord loops to fasten
the panels together until we could get
the regulation hooks and staples, and
in a few moments more Our barrel coops
were safely inc1osed in a fifty foot wire
fence that needed no help to stand alone
when set up in the shape of the familiar
self-bracing Virginia or worm fence of
rails that was then the universal fence
of the Southern country One panel
we arranged with hinges and latch
to serve as a gate, raising its base on
blocks just enough to clear the ground.
This cut shows what it looked like when
we set it up. There was so little hold
for the wind that even a sharp gale
failed to shake it, provided the panels
we're placed at the proper angle. The
fence was SO satisfactory, in fact, that
we were never afterwards without it.
For a movable, always-ready poultry
fence it can't be beaten. Of course hooks
and staples soon took the place of the
less durable cords with which Our i'm
promptu fence started on its career of
usefulness, so that it required only a
moment to detach the panels or put them
together.

indignation at being turned upside down,
tain terms. Of course the ever ready
Mollie heard the commotion, and came
to the rescue
There was no little talking and scold-
ing also in the nests that I carried, and
by the time we got them slipped into the
back part of the barrel coops, the hens
were all making remarks that certainly
were not intended to be complimentary
to those who had so rudely disturbed
their peaceful -reveries, and upset their
household arrangements. Such another
sco1ding, grumb1ing, disgruntled trio is
seldom seen. Some china eggs were
given to each of the ruffled bundles of
feathers, and the eagerness with which
they tucked them under their soft
breasts, scolding all the while, was good
to see. Then a light cloth was thrown
over the nests, ito settle the hens" and
the frames that closed the front of the
barrels were set firmly in place.
"Now," said Queen Mollie, well
hang a bur1ap curtain over the front
to darken the coops But before we
go to bed we must take off the cloths
from the nests, or the hens might strug-
gle out early in the morning, and get
on the eggs again
And as she ordered, so we did, of
course.
After supper was cleared away, and
the happy twins tucked safely in their
beds, tired little folks, who had been
busy all day long, revelling in the sand,
and chasing butterflies and each other,
Mother Bronson brought out the eggs
that had been purchased in Jacksonville.
Then came an exclamation of diSmay
from Mollie, who was laying them care
fully to one side.
"Oh dear me! three of the Houdan
eggs, and two of the Langshans are
cracked. 1t is too bad, to lose so many
mother. 'Is the inner skin broken?"
mo, I don't think it is," was the re-
ply, 'the lining seems sound with all of
Them
'Well then" said mother, Gust cut
some very thin strips of court-plaster
and fasten them over the cracks. If
this is done carefully and the skin is
really not broken, the chances are that
the eggs will hatch Just as well as IT the
shells had not got cracked.'
1t was a new idea to all Of us, but I
will say right here that eventually, four
Of the six eggs did hatch out strong
chicks. The other two, when tested,
proved not to be fertile, and so would
not have hatched under any circum-
stances. Perhaps this is new wrinkle
for some other folks, too Of course, as
a rule, it don't pay to monkey with
cracked eggs, but when you have paid
a good price for special kinds, and each
one represents big fraction of dollar,
it does pay to try to save them. If
court-plaster is not handy, strips of thin
muslin and flour paste will answer, al
ways bearing in mind that as little as
possible of the surface must be covered,
since the life of the chick depends on
