Hen Reigns Supreme
The Owners of The Corning Egg Farm were somewhat taken aback one day by the statement of a young man that he must evolve a theory of incubation for himself, and carefully carry it out. In incubation one does not want theory, but the knowledge which comes from long practice and the most scientific study of the art. After all these years, the hen, as a hatcher, reigns supreme. There is nothing which approximates her ability to turn out strong, vigorous chicks, and yet it is unfortunately necessary to abandon the hen when large numbers of chicks are to be produced. So Man has struggled in his vain efforts to reach something which will, at least in a measure, become a competitor of the hen.
