cock  laying  and  sitting,  but  I  actuaUy  Lave  a 
case  of  a  oockerol  «(jttlng.  I  had  an  early  brood 
of  Gray  Dorkings  hahjhcd  by  a  Dorking  hen. 
Wien  big  enouKh,  llio  old  hen  gave  them  the 
slip  in  the  usual  way ;  but  ono  son  did  not  Lko 
being  thrown  on  tlie  world  in  that  way,  so  ho 
kept  traok  of  his  mother.  In  u  short  time  she 
laid  again,  in  a  stolen  nest  under  an  overgreon 
tree,  where  she  corainencod  to  sit  again  the  sec¬ 
ond  tinio,  and  the  cockerel  sat  on  the  nest  with 
her  the  most  of  the  day,  occasionally  ninniug  off 
to  get  a  feed  and  back  again,  rernaining  all  night. 
IMy  wife  discovered  the  nest  by  lus  briglit,  largo 
comb  sticking  ont  from  bis  moUier’s  feathers. 
In  duo  Umo  tlie  eggs  hatched  and  the  hen  stjnit- 
ted  aronnd  with  her  now  family  and  their  big 
half-hroUier,  who  was  very  careful  not  to  tread 
on  the  chicks.  Ilo  certainly  did  his  shai'e  when 
his  mother  called  the  chicks  to  partake  of  any¬ 
thing  nice,  but  I  am  quite  unable  to  say  in  what 
c.ipacity  ho  regards  himself,  whether  as  brother, 
Btep-])rothcr,  or  father  to  the  chicks.

SELECTING  YOUNG  POULTRY. 
One  of  the  most  important  things  for  breeders 
of  first-class  I’oulti’y,  is  to  pick  ont  their  young 
hu-ds  that  are  in  any  way  definitive ;  and  to  keeji 
only  the  most  promising  ones.  It  is  trying  work 
for  Anifttonrs  to  kill  off  any  of  their  young  pets, 
hut  if  tlioy  cannot  bo  otLerwiso  disposed  of,  it 
must  ho  dona. 
This  is  work  tliat  few  Amateurs  will  do  thor¬ 
oughly  until  cxiierioucc  teaches  them  the  groat 
necessity  of  such  a  duty.  There  is  always  a 
largo  percejitngo  of  young  stock  of  all  broods 
that  do  not  come  up  to  the  desired  standard ; 
although  in  the  hands  of  experienced  hroedera  it 
is  less  than  it  would  bo  otheinviso  and  when  a 
partienlnr  strain  is  worked  for,  many'  have  to 
make  way  for  their  more  favored  companions. 
IJutletnot  the  young  breeder  bo  discoiu'aged; 
the  killing  off  of  a  few  of  tho  defective  birds 
makes  more  room  for  those  that  are  left  and 
gives  them  a  hotter  chance  in  tho  battle  of  hfo. 
It  is  well  to  bo  sure  to  make  tho  selection  your¬ 
self.  If  done  by  proxy,  pcrhaiis  tho  wrong 
heads  may  come  off.  H.  H.  I
