work of research for years was now
about to either prove a success OF a

acquaintance approaching.

DIFFERENCE IN SITTING HENS
Some Fowls Are Lacking In Hen Sense
and Do Not Cover Their Eggs
In Proper Manner.

Some hens of course make better
mothers than others, but more than
this, some are much better than 9th
ers for sitting itself, according to a
subscriber to Wallace's Farmer. Two
hens were each given an egg to cover
while waiting for the sitting of eggs
to come, and when the eggs arrived
two or three days later the two eggs
in the nests were taken out and bro
ken. The egg from hen No. 1 showed
a third less development than the egg
under hen No. 2. AS the first five
days are the most important time in
the sitting period, indications were
that hen No. would hatch out more
chicks than hen No. 1. These results
were indicated by the behavior of the
two hens.
Hen No. 1 seemed to be lacking
(said the owner) in hen sense. She
felt the fever of broodiness, but ap'
parently didn't know what was the
matter with her, only she wanted to
sit, and she sat. When she was taken
off the nest for food and water, she
continued to sit, gluing herself to the
floor like lump of putty, picking up
the corn within her range, but max
ing no effort to get what lay out OF
reach
Hen No. had work to do, and IN
tended to do it. When take from hel
nest she expressed dissatisfaction, but
noting that her breakfast was ready
she ate and drank, spread her feath
ers, stretched her muscles, and went
back to her nest. No. 1 had to bt
put back. People sometimes thinl
that to be hen-hatched means wei
Matched; it doesn't always work ou
that way; much depends on the quail
ity of the hen as an incubator.

Layout of Poultry Farm.

Home They may be built on any
scheme acceptable to the owner.
There is also brooder house which
should accommodate 1000 chicks at
one time. The dwelling house and
farm barn complete the outlay Of
buildings for the place.
1t is planned to have from eighty to
one hundred fruit trees, although
there could be more. There are two
large fields which could be alternated
with the usual farm crops, the larger
one having ten colony houses for the
growing stock.
There is also a garden, a pasture
and a runway for the cockerels. A
large share of the grain consumed by
the poultry could be raised on such a
place and there should be good sur
plus revenue from the sale of garden
and fruit products. The detailed
scheme of the farm is left to be
worked out according to ones wishes.

on him because of his reverses she
is not worthy to be called wife. But,
