INCUBATION
By VICTOR R. BENNETT.

OF artificial incubation l may as well
say at once have had very little expert
ence; therefore 1t is a subject of which
l do not presume to write. The old ma
tural method of allowing the hen to sit
on her eg.s and hatch out her small fam
lily is the only plan OF which have had
practical experience, and as being an
entirely natural process / cannot but
think it the best, especially for poultry
keepers on a small scale.
There are very many little matters
connected with eggs and Matching them
out, which can only be learned by much
practice and long experience of domestic
fowls, their manners and habits.
This can be gained by being constantly
with them and carefully watching them
through all the various stages of their
lives.
1t is never very difficult to procure
broody hen. Your Rock hens will most
likely be quite willing to sit, probably
more often than you wish them to. Be
careful, however, not to put under her
at once the eggs which you have select
ed for your sitting. She should be NOV
ed at night, placed on a sitting of china
eggs and allowed to sit on them for at
least two days before you entrust her
with real eggs.
Now, about the eggs themselves. Prob
ably you have, out Of your family of
hens, some that are better than the
others, either in shape or form, or more
handsomely marked, or better layers, or
there is something or other about them
some distinguishing point, which leads
you to wish to perpetuate their stock.
Their eggs should, therefore, be saved;
but do not keep eggs certainly beyond
fortnight; the fresher the eggs the bet
ter, / believe. Those you set apart for a
sitting remove directly they are laid and
place them in bran, small end down
ward, dating them in ink and adding the
name OF the hen. When you have col
lected, say, thirteen eggs, which is quite
enough to put under any hen, though
people do advise fifteen for large hen,
too many really for hen, though a
turkey would cover them comfortably
thirteen for a large Rock hen and eleven
for a smaller hen, are the number !
usually place under the hen, and find
them quite enough. If nest is too full
of eggs there is sure to be an accident;
some eggs get broken and the nest gets
'3ul and sickly; besides, the hen covers
compact nest of eggs much better, and
they all get an equal share of heat
