Most of the methods of "breaking
up" hens from setting are cruel, and
tire and distress the innocent hens who
are not to blame for their instinct.
The kindest way is the following:
When'it is necessary to stop the incli-

coop alone with fresh grass and all the
meat cut fine that she will eat. The
meat Immediately increases the egg
and while the hen is
having a really good time she is fast
preparing herself to commence laying
eggs. 1t will take but two or three
days before she forgets all about set
ting, having other affairs to attend to.
