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 fore a iieeesity iu egg production.

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 oiifcly. 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.
