Nous allons supposer que le lecteur a traité la poule comme suggéré ci-dessus.Poser la poule morte comme dans la Fig. 39; tenir le sabot ou la tête et tirer le cou avec la main droite, et tout en maintenant la tête vers le haut le cou sera étirecheout. Tournez la tête vers le bas à droite, de sorte que le dos de la tête pointe vers le haut et que le bec pointe vers le bas autant que possible. Cela permet de réaliser la projection du cerveau (flèche 1, fig. 35) apparaissent plus promirnent, donc il sera plus facile de localiser i

The call of the hen; or, The science of selecting and breeding poultry for egg-production . ntering the slight depression between the skull and neck. We will suppose the reader has handled the hen as suggested above.Lay the dead hen as in Fig. 39; take hold of comb or head and pull neckup with right hand, and while holding head up the neck will be stretchedout. Turn the head down with right hand, so the back of the headwill point up and beak will point down as much as possible. This willmake the projection of the brain (arrow 1, Fig. 35) appear more promirnent, so it will be easier to locate it; then draw ball of thumb of left bamd 64 THE CALL OF THE HEN. down on head until you feel back of skull; when you feel back of skullwith ball of thumb, then turn first joint of thumb down until thumb-nailfits in between end of skull and neck and well up against base of brain;then, while holding left hand and thumb as in Fig. 39, put forefinger ofright hand at base of brain behind the ear, as in Fig. 39, between theneck and the skull and against the skull behind the ear, as in Fig. 39.. Fig. 39—Showing thumb /• of an inch ahead of forefinger; indicating hen is total-ly lacking in prepotency. (See Skull No. 4, Fig. 35.) The ear can readily be discovered by lifting up its hairy covering. Thethumb-nail must be held perfectly straight across the neck, as in Fig. 39, and not sideways; and the forefinger must be held perfectly at rightangles with the thumb, or the length of projection (arrow 1, Fig. 35)from the base of the brain (arrow 4, Fig. 35) cannot be measured accu-rately. The reader will notice that my thumb-nail is ahead of my forefinger-nail in Fig. 39; this indicates that this hen is wholly lacking in the abilityto transmit any redeeming quahties to her offspring, also that she hasno desire for offspring. If this were a male bird, the eggs from his matingswould be infertile. Fig. 40 shows thumb on line with forefinger. Mat- THE CALL OF THE HEN. 65 ings from this type of
