At a Manchester trial for robbery the London Globe reports the lock on the defendant's cell door must be picked by a locksmith before the dock.

Practical advice on hatching and rearing poults from nest to three weeks.

The handsome Pyle Leghorn cock pictured here was a prize winner at the Crystal Palace show in London last year. Brought to America by Ithaca breeder E. G. Wyckoff along with several hens, the birds drew attention at the New York show. The variety is new here and expected to interest American breeders, alongside imported Silver Duckwing Leghorns shown at New York.
A Poultry Success report states that turning eggs from day seven to day fourteen is unnecessary, while the sixteenth day marks complete embryo formation. From day twelve embryos show internal organ development and begin animal heat, reducing artificial heat needs.
An agricultural note warns overheating eggs in incubators causes more losses than low temperatures. It asserts hatch times of 25 to 28 days at 80 to 100 degrees even with brief drops to 60 or 65, but 110 degrees for 8 to 10 hours nearly guarantees failure.
The piece argues that breeding for beauty in poultry is acceptable only if it does not sacrifice utility. It notes mongrel hens may lay as many eggs as Leghorns but fail to reliably transmit the trait to offspring, exposing where mongrel breeding falls short.
