. The agricultural gazette of New South Wales. Agriculture; Agriculture -- Australia New South Wales. n ?J. Illustration showing ovaries and stages in growth of egg. + Twin ovules : These joined drop into the oviduct, :ind liecemie covered with the white and shell, forming a double-yolk egg. the blood will be seen showinsr through, then stop. Do the same with the lower mandible. On no account draw blood. Properly ])erformed. the oi)cration is quite painless to the fowl. What is the effect? The fowl cannot peck atanytiiint; hard any more than a man can bite with a .sore tootli. She can eat soft food and i)ick up grains of corn, eat as well as usual, but if she attacks an egii the hard shell daunts her—it makes her beak smart, and she speedily desists. Presently the horn grows again, but by that time the hen. unless the vice is fairly established in her, has forgotten her taste for eggs. If egg-eating breaks out in a small pen. and there is no absolute certainty which is the cul|)rit. cue the beaks of the whole pen.
