OVERCOMING BROODINESS. 



In your number of the 3rd of October, " E. F. T." asks 

 '* What is the best plan to adopt with obstinately broody hens," 

 or, as we term them in the north *' clocking hens ? " The plan 

 I have adopted for a number of years with success, has been to 

 place them in solitary confinement. Take the hen away from 

 her companions, put her in a comfortable house, feed her well, 

 and in the course of a few days all desire to sit will have passed 

 and she will begin to lay very soon again. — M. A. W., Durham. 



NOTES ON FANCY PIGEONS.— No. 9. 



ARRANGEMENTS FOR, AND JIANAGEMENT OF, PIGEONS. 



Domestic Pigeons, like every other domestic creature, bi- 

 pedal, quadrupedal, or winged, have a first and foremost ne- 

 cessity, and that is a home. They must have a home, and, 

 unlike poor Paddy, they must have room, or they will not in- 

 crease and prosper. It is quite painful to see a large number 

 of Pigeons crowded into a small space. Oh ! the fighting, the 

 breaking, or rolling about of eggs, the tumbling out of the nest 

 of newly-hatched young ones, and the pecking of heads of 

 young gentry just able to run about; but, alas! for them- 

 selves, not old enough to fly from the sharp beaks of grown-up 

 and savage neighbours, who are very unneighbourly, or I 

 will say neighbours, but not friends. Many a time have I seen 

 a young pair with bald heads, though not by breed baldheaded. 



Now, everybody knows that Pigeons pair; we say a pair of 

 doves, and a pigeon-pair of children is a common expression, 

 and we call a young and loving bride and bridegroom a perfect 

 pair of pigeons ; but everybody does not know that there is a 

 difficulty in getting them to pair as you wish them, or even to 

 get them to pair at all, or as soon as they are adult. Theii's is 

 a similar case to the following. A young lady and gentleman 

 who meet only in the company of others, often in a crowd, 

 really think nothing of each other whatever ; but let the same 

 young people stay, without other company, in a dull house nine 

 miles from anybody, and let the weather be thoroughly bad, a
