SECTION IX. 



Eggs being provided, put them under a 

 hen that has kept the nest three or four 

 days ; and if you set two or three hens on 

 the same day, you will have the advantage 

 of shifting the good eggs. At the end of 

 ten or twelve days, throw away those that 

 are bad, and set the same hen or hens 

 again, if setting hens should not be plenty. 



The hens having set their full time> 

 such of the young pheasants as are al- 

 ready hatched, put into a basket, with a 

 piece of flannel, till the hen has done hatch- 

 ing. 



The brood, now come, put under a frame 

 witli a net over it, and a place for the hen,
