for the Chicken.
Major J. M. Kilbourne told us the fol
lowing circumstance: Last spring his
wife procured a doz -li eggs of the black
Spanish variety and set them under a
lieu of the common breed. Some of the
eggs failed to hatch, and after hatching
: accidents happened to the chickens un
til tlie brood was reduced to a single
black Spaniard. This grew and tiiriv d
j until it was about as large as a pigeon,
when two young chickens just out of
the nest were placed with the same hen
and ;iii attempt was made to have her
take care of them together with lier own
chicken, but biddy couldn't see it and
in i vident disgust abandon* d the whole
lot. Bit the little Spaniard was equal
to the emergency, and from lieing a |
' chicken at once became a matronly lien,
looking after the little ones, hunting
j food for them, hovering them at night
and clucking for them with a!l the dig
nity of an old in n. The chinks are now
well grown and bung of the Shanghai
breed are larger than the Spanish, but
they still follow her and at night, gath
ering, one on either side, cover their
, heads with her wings and feci safe.
