Mr, H. S. Chapman saw, in a former Rural, a description of a self-closing hen’s nest. He 
has one which he likes much better. It is shown above at Fig. 203, and so well drawn that 
it requires but little explanation. It is made out of an old boot-case. The nest bottl’d is 
uiocks 01 wouu, as suuwu in cue umwiiig, i uc nest is maae iry using an om 1111 pan ur a 
box fi'led with straw. The weight is regulated so that when left alone the. box will be 
open. On the entrance of Mrs. Wyandotte, the nest drops so that the opening is closed, and 
will not open as long as she stays on the nest. It is a bad plan to let hens crowd into a 
nest together. They will be apt to quarrel and break eggs. "Why would not this arrange¬ 
ment work well with sitting hens ?
