A curious method of batching e-u-s
has been adopted in China. The eggsare placed in tiers in a large basket
twice the size of an ordinary barrel.
which ls thickly lined with hay ami
carefully closed from the air by a Ugh!titting cover of twisted straw. In three
days' time the eggs are taken out and
replaced in a different order, those nt
the surface being put in the lower tier.
This is repeated every third day for a
fortnight, when tho eggs aro removedfrom the basket and placed on a shelfin another room, being carefully cov¬
ered with bran. In a day or two tho
chickens chip tho shells and make their
appearance in the world. The success
of this method is attributed to the fact
that the animal heat of the egg, beingretained by the basket, which is form
ed of material not conducting caloric.
ls sufficient to support animal life and
develop it.
