empty barrels laid on the side, or in
dry weather make nests of leaves and
straw In secluded places and cover the
place loosely with branches. From II
to 20 eggs are laid at clutch, and
one service fertilizes all. Gather these
eggs as fast as laid and replace them
with a couple of china or hard-boiled
hens eggs. Keep the eggs in cool
place not to exceed ten days before
setting them under common hen.
Select fat, broody hen, as she must
sit from % to 30 days before the eggs
hatch. Grease her as recommended in
bulletin 16, Poultry Culture for South
Carolina" to kill the lice. Make earth
nests. immense the eggs in water
warm to the hand (106 degrees) for
two minutes on the eighteenth and
twenty-fifth days. Remove the pOults
from the nest to a warm basket as
soon as they become dry and strong,
so that the hen will remain on the
nest until the Matching is completed.
Feed ana water the hen and let her
move about for short time.

roofing paper, with laths two and one

once a week, and more often if neces-
sary.
