EGG EATING HENS.
A Very Bad Habit Caused by Over
feeding With Grain Rations.

A Very Bad Habit Caused by Over
feeding With Grain Rations.
The habit some hens have Of eating
the eggs as they lie in the nest is very
annoying to the owner. This bad habit
Is usually caused by Overcrowding,
lack Of exercise and the use of nests
that are too low to -" round and toe
light. The habit rare found among
a flock that is Oh r.-e range or that
Is given proper Lu;.sing and a well
balanced ration.
1t is sometimes caused by feeding
too much grain, when the hens eat the
eggs in an effort to obtain meat food
taste for eggs by pecking at sofr
shelled egg or one that has been brOk-
en- in the nest.
1t is hard to cure a hen of this habit
once she has acquired a taste for the
eggs. The best thing to do is to sell
her or eat her. If you wish to try
breaking the bird of the habit the most
successful methods are either to use
a number Of china eggs or loaded
eggs" In your nest where the bird will
be sure to find them. After several
unsuccessful attacks on these eggs the
hen will probably become discouraged
and leave the rest Of them alone.
The most effective way of prevent
ing hens from acquiring the habit is
to feed balanced ration and compel

 Nothing which had yet passed showed that this man realized the fact that Oswald had been kept in igno- rance of Miss Challoner's death.

But in what words could he urge such a re- quest upon this man?
