\V. COOKS TURKEY, GOOSE, AND PHEASANT BOOK. "J 



If an egg is not chipped by the 29th day, an incision 

 should be made in the end, just at the top, and if the skin is 

 white, it is a sign the young turkey is alive, but if it is dark 

 the youngster is dead. If alive the egg should be held up 

 carefuUj', the small end to the light, and just tapped 

 lightly with the finger, and the position of the beak will be 

 seen at once. As an egg is oval, unless the beak lies per- 

 fectly straight, it slips, and the youngsters cannot break the 

 shell. Numbers of young turkeys die in the shell every 

 year for want of a helping hand. If a little care is bestowed 

 hundreds can be saved.
