Winsted, Conn. —Michael L. L. Dane by was puzzled when he found six hen’s eggs on a pile of sawdust al his wood sawing plant after the gaso-line-driven power had been running a, short time.

Through the sawdust-filled air came two more eggs as he debated. He shut off the power to learn if possible where the eggs came from. Presently one of his Wyandotte hens appeared. Finding one of the eggs she rolled it to a nest which she had made in “V”-shaped box where the exhaust from the engine carries away the sawdusL One by one the hen rolled the eggs nestward. She then resumed setting. The exhaust engine had swept the nest clean of eggs. Mr. Daneby has temporarily suspended operations at the mill so that the hen can finish her work.
