scornfully.
A crisp little laugh from Britt was

1t is useless cruelty to douse a broc'dy
hen in cold water or put her in 9 coop
with a floor maze of Stats through which
she is constantly falling, or to confine
her in close, dark coop. None OF these
things are necessary. OF course, If it
is not desirable to have the hen set at
certain time she must be carried over
the period when nature drives her to it,
but as a good sitter is always valuable
to the breeder she should be treated
with kindness
A good way to discourage brcOdy lien
is to place her with others in a not TOO
roomy coop with a Slated front where
she can see the other chickens scratch
ing and running about. She should be
fed sparingly because at this time her
appetite is greatly reduced If she is
fed once a day II win be sufficient, but
her feed should increase to keep pslce
with her appetite.
OF course no two hens are exactly
alike. nor can specific treatment be slc-

treat all alike and with uniform kind

rise to the rough, scraggy coat. Pre-
