When the Hen Begins to Hatch.

Place food and water near the
nest OF the sitting hen at Matching
time, SO that she may be less likely
TO leave the nest before all the eggs
are incubated. 1t is also a good plan
TO sprinkle the hen with Uncle JOS
homemade insect powder, the rec
ipe for which has sereyal times an
peared in this department, taking
her up quietly by her feet and dust
ing the powder into her feathers.
This should be done two or three
times during incubation. II any eggs
have been broken, lukewarm water
should be used TO wash the remain
ing eggs. The egg shells should be
removed from the nest and care
should be exercised that none of the
chicks smother. A place with a mild
and uniform temperature is best for
the sitting hen. Usually the vitality
OF the germ is affected by keeping
eggs too long before placing them
FOR incubation, and the chickens
that may be Matched are not SO
strong. Care should be taken In &C.
lecting fresh eggs, from strong.
healthy hens. then the chickens will
be strong and healthy.
