A BIRD IN THE HAND
Especial Information Service, of Agricutue)
Lead Your Hens to Trap Nest,
Then Induce Them to Law
How the Poultry Raiser Can Deposit
Eggs in Cash Registers and Not in Secluded Places
Trap Nesting Valuable

If you have ever led horse down
a Ions and tortuous lane to water
and then had the animal repeatedly
refuse TO drink. yolr are in position
to appreciate the predicament of the
poultry raiser who equips his poultry
house with trap nests and then finds
that some of the pullcts will not use
these ingenious devices. That latent
instinct of the female fowl TO deposit
her eggs in secluded, remote spots,
preferably in nest which she her
self personally constructs, may cause
trouble to the chicken raiser who at
tempts to accustom the pullets to the
artificial trap nest.
Usually as soon as the pulets are
removed to winter quarters whore
trap nests are used the trouble be-
gins, as some of the young females
lay their eggs on the floor in the
straw and litter in the corners of
the building. and often upon and
under the dropping boards. In rem
edying such misdemeanor on the part
of the pullets, it is first essential to
see that enough trap nests are pro-
vided
Usually the equipment should in
clude one trap nest for each four put
lets or hens in the flock. Having
remedied any deficiency in the way
of nest equipment, the poultryman
should next resort to handling as a
means of curing the fowls of their
undesirable habit of laying their
eggs anywhere and everywhere about
the house. The owner or attendant
should enter the house frequently
throughout the day. and as often as
he finds one of the pullets nesting in
secluded spot he should pick the
