DISC0URAGING THE
OLD SETTING HEN
One of Best Methods Is to Con-.
fine Fowl in SIat-Bottomed
Coop in Quiet Place.

Don't tie red rags to the old hens
tail when she wants to set, and don't
throw her about or fill her nest with
trash. Broodiness Is normal condi-
ton that must be overcome by normal
methods. One of the best of these is
to confine the hen in a slat-bottomed
coop In quiet. cool place, giving plen-
ty of water but feeding lightly on sue
culent feeds, with very little grains.
Two or three days Of this usually per-
suades her to change her mind about
setting, the reason being that the sys-
tenn is rested and cooled by the meth

to activity by little touch of hunger.
