A correspondent of the London Field tal K i tig on this subject snys : " In all eggs, vvhether of pmiltry or pigeons, there is lo bo foiind ;in indentntian,reiömbling thedimple in the cliin, oftcn to be found in our own sex, in the round end of the egg. Thia mark wil! always be loinirt direcily on the top or to one side ol the egg. If the breeiTer wishes to select Qgvs for hatehing cock birds, let him piek thosö having the tJimple immediutely on the top of t e -gg ; and, il for hens, let him ehocse tthose egs with the dimple to one side. I havo been assured by those vvlio have observed this peculiarity in the mark.ng of egüf.s that no better method can be adopted to ineure a hateh of the sex most to be denired. Tlie procesn, at ieast, is a simple and ohenp one, and I oöer my informution as I have it."
