and is still prevalent in many com-

by«what is known as a “witching

This is not just another silly ques !
tion, as some would say. You have
motteed that a chicken constantly
jerks his head while walking, .But
have you ever stopped to think why
he does it? Well, he has a good rea-
son. He does it so that he can see
better: Every time he jerks his
head, it comes to a momentary stop.
This pause gives him a clear vision
ahead for an instant. Therefore, in
order that he may always be able
to see clearly, he keeps us the con-
stant jerk that you see.
