Dear Miss Grey; am just
through with your letters In last
nights paper. and there IN only
one thing wrong with your answer.
Ing letters. that Is. you don't pub.
ltah enough OF them.

person who wrote YOU that letter
about who IL the mother of n
chicken. Wen suppose that the
chicken was raised In an incubator.
then who IA it's mother The an.
swer To II Is. the one who laid the
egg. for an incubator can't be the

FROM A CONSTANT READER
OF YOUR PAPER FOR TEN
YEARS.

that laid the egg liz the real moth.

Dear Miss Grey; The hen that
lays the eEg IL mother of tho chick.
since the embryonic chick begins
with the fertilization OF the egg.
without which there would be no
chick. The laying Of the egg IL
but a stage IN the begetting OF the
chick. and, II Biddy were left 10
her natural proclivitlcs. she would
stay on the Job from tho concep.
ton OF the chick TIL it's weaving
Mans Interference IL but an ar.
tlfloial Intervention which prevents
natural contamination OF the In.
nate instincts OF the hen.
BOSTON BOY.
Dear Miss Grey: Ia regard TO
that chicken controversy. l.. r
says: The hen that hatchcd the
chick IL it's real mother" Under
tho circumstances would call tho
hen that Matched tho chick the
chicks guardian The real mother
Of the chick is tho hen that laid the
egg. A breeder wouldn't call n
Plymouth Rock tho mother OF a
White Lcghorn. because that breed
had Matched the egg. ! think We
should apply blood relationship TO
chicken AZ we'll as any other live
thing. Could an incubator be the
mother OF a chick. the eold.hlooded
thing v. u T.
Dear Miss Grey: Which II the
mother, the hen that laYA the egg.
or the hen that matches II OUT !
say the hen that laid the egg. You
have your matlnge. get you Ter
tile eggs. and capon 10 brood the
chicks You would not call the
capon the mother. neither the hen
that matches them. but the mated
hen that produced the eggs
some years ago lioness had
pair OF cubs. They tried to rear
them with a nursing female dog.
You wouldn't say tho dog would be
the mother, but the lioness.
So with tho eggs Tho mated
hen and male would be the natural
mother ana iAtusF.
