LET THE HENS RTN.
Tho proper luodo oi keeping fowls
is to give them a free run, an orchard
being excellent, as it w ill in no man
lier be injured by the fowls, but pro
bably b oik. lit from the destruction of
insects.
Poultry do much less il image in n
garden than is credited to them. The
hen with a brood w ill diligently search
ami scratch the ground for a 'i ds nnd
lutty pick olTthu dainty, tender plaut'i
when they aro just s Looting through
tho soil; but after the plants have be
o.uno well established and the wood is
somewhat Lard, the Lou is more intent
ou seeking insects than green food, as
grutM auil young weeds supply her iu
the way of bulky substances.
If tho garileu has been planted
there will bo nothing to prevcut tho
hens from Laving their liberty after
the ground is covered with growth,
ami there will conseipieutly be no in
ducement for the hens to abandon au
orchard to attack a gatileu.
It must not bo overlooked, as wo
have ctateil before, that when the
hens are on a range and pick up in
sects, seeds ailil grass, the eggs will
cost the farmer nothing. No matter
how high the prices may be iu win
ter the largest profits, from the hens is
seeurcil in the snunncr, us not only do
the hens lay more eggs at that season,
but the lApens." of labor is a small
item. It is therefore important that
the hens be not eonline.l longer than
is necessary. The small amount of
damage that may be don to a gat ileu
is m. .re than o!l'ot by a greater num
ber of eggs tlld less eate. The health
id'tiie hens is also bolter when oil a
range, and the exercise oblainc.l iu
seek I II ' their food keeps them ill the
best condition for illlordiug a profit.
A l!oei of liens may apparently
have no nee I of a-iPt tic lioiu their
owner, lay a large number of eggs and
keep in health, vet there mux be a few
detail overlooked simply In can c the
iiece ity for attention may not have
been presented or discertu d. I'l l it
I'irr o'l'iir la inn that the hens may
I'lteii bo without water during the
whole of tl warm day? On some laiin
tin re are no si reams, and the oicrllnw
from a well or the filling of a fountain
or bucket is di'l'cu lc 1 upon to supply
the h. ns with water, but it is net al
ways that it is the duty of any particu
lar individual to attend t i providing
the water supply, hence there may be
an iiliiiinlaiice at olio time and a scar
city tit another. Au e;g is almost
wholly water, tlic solid part being but
a small proportion, ami wat. r i I here

A writer iu the F.pil. .mist deplnros the
too largo pastures. lb: advises largo
fodder crop for winter feeding, and
holds that as dairy pro lucts bring far
bettor prices in the winter, it would
bo better lor farmers to plan for win
ter ilaiiying.
Mulching strawberries; to retard
tin in is done by placing manure over
the ground w in n it is fro, -n, and th'ii
scattering straw over it. Caiv must
be taken that the manure dues not
cover the crow lis of the plant. Leave
the covering of straw on ipiite late in
the spring. The manure can remain
pel luaiieiitly.
If you have largo fruit trees yon
wish transplanted, dig around them
towards tha cloo of summer, cutting
oil' the larger roots nt from throe to
live feet from the body, aeoording to
the size of the tree. Twulve months
Inter they will have made ho many
sifnill roots to replace, the larger ones
that transplanting can bo attempted

In trimming a tree tho general sym
metry should always be maintained.
There is often a choice in limbs to bo
cut away. In such oases the ideal
form of the top should be kept iu
mind, ami prune with that iti view.
As to the time the work should ha
done, it is largely a matter of ron
veiiieiiee, but the dormant season is
