CURING HENS OF SETTING. 
Ik humanity were forced to submit to all 
the evils we inflict on the poor feathered 
bipeds, in order to cure or break up some 
habit or prompting of nature, w lr.it a tow 
there would be. 
Suppose it was in human nature to have 
an irresistible impulse to lie down. 
Wouldn't, we think it a little rough to be 
put in a bis tub, with six inches of cold 
water in it, and left there for twelve to 
twenty-four hours V Ugh! it makes us 
shiver to think of it 1 
I(,,w would we relish five or six yards of 
red flannel,with perhaps a little bell or till 
pail attached to our — , well, our appen¬ 
dix, (if we had one,) and have all the rest of 
mankind cackling in . ommisenition (or 
exultation :‘) over our degradat ion. 
llow nice it, must feel to he grabbed by tbe 
nec k and jerked oil ft nice warm nest, and 
thrown into anything that comes handy 
an old swill barrel, hencoop or dirty box — 
and kept in solitaiy confinement for a week, 
until we learn to “ stand up, and not be. 
wanting to sit all the time.” Just, imagine, 
dear lady readers,how delightful the sensa¬ 
tion, when indulging in dreams ol “ what is 
lobe when wc get our little family around 
ns,’’ to have your cucktmlwn* cut short, 
nipped in the bud, and an almost certain 
prospect of being knocked into (pot) pie ! 
Now, seriously, wouldn’t it be much bet¬ 
ter, much more to the credit ot humanity, 
to break up this habit, or instinct, by natural 
means V We have lately seen, (we forget 
where,) an easy and rational cure. It is sim¬ 
ply to put under the lien a few eggs just 
about ready to hatch; or put one or two 
young chickens under at the night time; 
take her off and put her in a box with the 
young chicks a lew hours, then take the 
chicks away from her and turn her out, and,
