snrinp the nest NAV no made IN \ nm,
nlaced nnnn the pronnd as the ground
!. is still cold The hen should ALWAYS
be allowed to enter the nest from the
front and not from the above, as the
eggs are sure to be broken if she
must jump down In the nest. Oats
or wheat straw makes an ideaf nest
material. Straw that has been tram
pied and broken is the best, as II
settles better and makes more com
pact nest. The mistake is often made
in making the nest too deep and thu
eggs pilefup and the body OF the her
does not come directly in contact Will
them. Three or four inches o
straw is enough for any nest. TheI
after it is shaped out in much the
same shape as the oldsfashionet
wooden butter dish a quantity OF chat
should be scattered in 1t to maxi
more body to the nest and confine thu
heat.
The hen should be placed upon thu
nest at dusk-with care that she II
not frightened and securely inclosed
Two or three china nest eggs arr
placed under her to see II she viii
remain broody in the new position as i
is hardly ever advisable to set the her
where she has been laying, as tn,
other hens will disturb her, and 1t i.
well to keep the sitting hens of t.
themselves in a quiet place where
they can be fed variety OF food diff
ferent from that supplied to the res
of the flock. The hen should not b,
bothered then until the next evening
when the opening to the box may b.
gently removed and the hen allowed
to leave the nest of her own will tt
eat and exercise. Then watch to max,
sure that she goes back to her new
nest. After few days the hen ma.
be permitted freedom to go from ant
to the nest when she chooses provided
other hens do not modest the nest. TIL,
eggs may be placed in the nest while
the hen is off the second evening
Fifteen eggs are usually placed undel
medium-sized hen. Eggs from {
flock of thoroughbred fowls will gen
orally be Of the same size and color
but if using eggs from mongrel stock
eggs of the same size and color SHOULD
be selected. The shell of'white eggs i
thinner than that of brown eggs, ant
when in the same nest they do no
| seem to hatch well.
