What can you be talking uhoul?" said the gentleman, getting a little net- tlcd. “Why. I never thought of such a thingl” “Well, them’s game chickens. just the same,” said the trmlesnmn. A light dawned on the humane gentleman's mind. The proclivities o! the men of the household from which he had purchased the sitting of eggs had indeed led them to u pnrtiullty for game fowls, and by inno- cently buying a baker's dozen of eggs from the wonmnof the house and putting them under a hen he had unconsciously em- barked ln the business of keeping fighting cocks. He sacrificed the chickens as soon as they were big enough to broil and found them most excellent eatlng. but it is doubtful if he will ever be able to get up a reputation In that town as n prevent" of cruelty to “finaleâ€"Boston ’l‘ranScx-ipt.

She seems to be engaged in an attempt to prove that a certain amount of amazo- niunlsm is not in nslatent with a proper regard {or the do es of motherhood. A very peaceful gentleman. not unconnected with the work of the Humane society, moved into the country three or {our years ago. Having occasion to purchase two or three settings of eggs, he bought one of a good working woman, who lived on the outskirts of the town. and who happened to have male relatives of sporting proclivi- ties, though tho gentleman did not know that, and would hardly have cared if he had known. The sporting proclivitics of those persons could hardly afl‘ect the hens' eggs raised on the place. The setting of eggs turned out beautifully. and in due time some exquisite little red chickens were running about with the old gray hen who had been their foster mother The chickens were so pretty that they were ed- mired above all others on the place They grow apnea. and before long their owner discovered that they were engagrd in war- fare most of the tlme. either with one an- other or with other little chickens lie- doubtable fighters they Were. too, and while any one of them would easily whip any chicken of any other brood. w hen they fought with one another it seemed to he a fight to the death. The peaeca ble gentle man deprecated these contests very much, but he was powerless to prevent them What could make them fight 50? By and by a village trndcsnmn who hap‘ pened to be at the plncu one day noticed the chickens. looked at the gentleman who owned them, winked broadly and remark- Mr. David Corneil has for service on Lnt 9, Con. 11, Ups, 8.

The trouble is to find the hen who is inclined to incubation in the month of ‘e ‘ ary. Generally speaking. she must glare!) chicken herself. Therefore to ' ve March chickens you must ilrst have Mnrch’thickens. It is like the great eco- nomic proposition: To make money you fist have money to make it with. How- ewr, it is not necessary to inherit March pullets. They can be acquired at reason- abl‘o'rstoa, and every practical hon keeper .â€"--;..£b-from thosu wholesale gentlemen who can devote all their time and atten- tion to tho monumental task of making incubators incubate. and who are conso- quontly indoponilunt of the natural means of incubationâ€"will tell you that the early born pullet. who is under a sort of natural wmpulsinn to lay early lwrsolf. is, even when of no brood at all, of more value than the high bred fowl who declines to lay any eggs until the balmy springtime has come and eggs can be bought for 15 cunts a dozen. The eccentricitles of the sxttlng hen are beyond all account. No power on earth or heaven can prevent curtain hens from sit- ting half their lives. They will sit on good eggs. on bad eggs, on china eggs. on stones. on sticks, on nothing ut all. Turned out of one place. they will sit in any oth- er. By actual experiment a certain Plym- outh Rock (of whose breed one of the many noble qualities is broodiness) per- sisted in sitting for six Weeks running, though she was given no eggs at all and was treated with the greatest contumely, being moved from pillar to post and nillict- ed with sharp cornered cobblestones and daily driven away with violence from her pathetic attempt to convert these igno- mlnous rocks into the noble onesof Plym- outh. At the end of the six weeks she did give up further sitting. but she ap- peared to entertain no grudge on account or her treatment and would on occasion come and cat out of the hands of her late tux-mentors. It was in the autumn when she made this quixotic attempt, and she had already in this same year brought ofl' twu fine broods of chickensâ€"one in early March and the other in June. Other hens will never sit at all. The white blinorcnsâ€"those hens with great combs. which look exactly like roosters and are called “Cutalans” by the Spanish --will lay perhaps more eggs in a year than any other sort of hen, but they will not lay them in cold weather, and it is un- likely that any one of them was ever known to hatch a brood of chickens. The Minorcns will, indeed, sometimes begin to sit, but they seem to be under the impres- sion that three days ought to be, in all conscience, u long enough time in which to hatch out an egg. and at the expiration of about that time they will abandon the attempt with a great iluttcr and much do- nuncintory oratory. If they are fastened down on the nest with a board placed above their backs. they will stand up as high as they can under the board and let the cold air addlo their eggs. It is doubt- ful it ever any human being. male or fe- male, wicked or pious, Christian or pagan, ever got through without profanity an at- tumpt to make a Minorcn hen sit. There are other breeds of nonsitters, which are not merely too numerous but also too eon- toznptible to mention. The Plymouth Rock will not lay so many eggs in a year as the Minorca, but (she will lay what she does lay when you want them. and she will perpetunto her kind.
