GIVING CHALK TO FOWLS —SOW EATING 
HER YOUNG ONES. 
Would powdered chalk or whitening do to mix with the food 
for fowls that are confined, by way of assisting to shell their 
eggs, as they are very apt to lay shelless eggs ? 
[Try the experiment. It will do no harm; but we think 
some limy rubbish in the yard would be preferable. —Eds. C. G.] 
A few weeks ago, in The Cottage Gardener, a person in¬ 
quires how to prevent a sow eating her young pigs. The best way 
is, at the time of farrowing to take away every one from her and 
place them in a box, or barrel, with some short litter. When 
she has done return them to her, and watch them until they have 
filled themselves, and then take them away and place them in 
the barrel for two or three hours. It would be all the better to 
keep them from the sow, in the barrel, for two or three nights. 
This is a general practice in the north of England, and I have 
practised it with great success myself.— James Rollins.
