be removed from the nest when the
guinea hen is not setting, but two or
more eggs should be left in the nest.
Ordinary hens are used commonly to
hatch and rear guinea CHICKS, but
guinea hens and turkey hens are used
successfully, although they are more
difficult to manage. Guineas are mar

weigh from one to one and one-half
pounds, at about two and one.haif
months old, and also through the fall
when the demand is for heavier birds.

Important factors affecting the sue

The first Of these Is the need Of manu-

While most manufacturers make an
effort to have their stock Inspected
and to use only good material. in some
cases this attempt Is frustrated by the
failure Of the workman to understand

The Growers Responsibility.
The crate manufacturer having
done his part In providing materials
free from defects, the grower or ship
per should see to it that the crate is
