Suggestions That VIII Help in Get.
ting Good Results.
The three essentials TO success with
natural incubation are good eggs, good
hens and good care. Good eggs ere
those OF uniform color, size and shape,
free from wrinkles or weak spots in
the shell. not more than ten days or
TWO weeks old, that have been turned
frequently, and that were produced ~
healthy stock selected for vigor ari
good breeding characteristics. Coed
hens are healthy hens OF medium size,
free from lice. and with the brooding
tendency well developed Yearling
and two-year-old hens are more de-
pendab'e than pullets. Good care
means constant attention 70 details.
Good eggs and good hens are neces.
sary, but without good care even
these viii rarely produce good results.
A ro0my nest, at least fourteen TO
sixteen inches square, should be pro-
yided. II should be so arranged that
the hen can enter the nest without
having to Jump down on the eggs. Put
two or three shovels full Of moist soil
into the bottom of the nest, following
it slightly at the center ard filing
the corners. Place an inch or two
Of fine straw or other soft nesting ma.
terial directly on this soil, shaping
The nest with the hands.
The hen should be carefully treated
70 free her from lice. This can be
done by applying a good louise pos der
thoroughly Just before placing her Oh
the nest. The application should be
repeated On the sixth. twelfth and
seventeenth days OF the Incubation
period. She should not be given more
eggs than she can properly cover.
The hen should have good feed and
water daily. See that she leaves the
nest daily, removing her If necessary.
Feed only whole grains, chiefly corn.
and provide fresh water. Plenty OF
grit and a little charcoal should be
provided. A good busting place, TO
which the hen has daily access, T. a
great help. Il an egg becomes brok-
