MYSTERY OF THE HEN

For many years more or less con troVersy has been Waged over the eX- act prototype from which our com mon barnvurd fowl is descended. IL is generally supposed that the an cestor of the present bird was jun gle fowl. somewhat like those now [" be found in India; that it roasted in trees and Iaid probably seven or eigli, gys Cthougn some say many as ;hirty) in the course eff whole wear 1t is LnoH=n. however, that the present jungle fowls in India lays from eigh; t. ten creamy white eggs wear.
 Poultry were probably the first animals to be dJmesticatcd. It is matter of historical record that they were introduced into China about 14"h E. C. and there are records on Baby lonian cylipders now eXtant which were believed to have been made about the seventh century before Christ It would not be a wild guess to say that poultry were common in india 7 .00O years before the advent of the Christian era.
 one of the strongest instincts which birds possess is the desire to reproduce their kind. Observation has evinced their remarkable persist
 
 For instance. by removing the egg from a sparrow's nest as fast as they were laid the bird was impellel to lay fifty-one eggs, q record many hense might envy. The same cX- periment with a wryneck yielded for tv-eight The wild Mallard duck or Ginarily lays twelve to eighteen eggs, ! but by confining some of them and [ Flemoving the eggs daily they will lay 1 from eighty to 100.
 | We know of another case where 1 swallow was induced to lay sixteen 1 eggs and then the thief's conscience smote him and he ceased t. remove 1 the others laid so there is no telling but what We might have had an other "2O0-egg type" of bird had the culprit been less hard of heart Un- doubtedIy birds lay more eggs than are required to produce brood, as 1 blue jays, snakes and other animals
 are robbers of birds nests.
 These few isolated observations | show how deep in the nature of the bird is it's desire to produce offspring, and to what extremes it will go. They also prove that birds do, to l some extent, have control over egg production, and further show how futile are arguments put forth to prove that the jungle fowl which may be entirely different from the ancestors of poultry. laid a definite number of eggs. even within the ra- dius of several dozen.
 The mental and moral character istics and the temperament of the fen are as mysterious and inscruta- ble as her ancestry and origin. Where
 else than in a hen will you find such
 a chunk of stubbornness, an animal
 so contrary or one with Whims which vary with every passing breeze? The hen never knows her own mind-and
 neither does the eternal feminine She-the hen, of course-perversely
