Food for Poultry.

Cayenne pepper. mustard or ginger
can, with great benefit, be added TO
the food of fowls to increase their Wig
or and stimulate egg producing.
This apparently artificial diet will
be seen to be natural if we remember
that birds of the gillinaccous species
get access TO many highly spiced ber-
ries and buds, articles that give the
"game flavor" to their flesh. The or
binary food of the domestic fowl is not,
indeed. without such addition, as there
is more or less of an aromatic princl-
pic in wheat. Indian corn and all other
grains. Nevertheless, il Is not sutii-
cieni in quantity TO supply the place OF
the stronger spice. taste for which is
a part of fowls inherited constitution.
A moderate quantity of cayenne, etc,
added to the ground grain is always
productive of health and thrift in
poultrV.

Tree Planting.

The following suggestions with rel
erencc to tree planting we find in the
Kansas Farmer:
/. That if, without irrigation, forest
tree planting is to be attempted, the
example of the Creator teaches us that
the bottom lands near our water
courses give the most promise of sue
cess.
2. That those kinds having large
leaf with thin epidermis, with tender,
succulent twigs, are the least promis-
ing Of success.
3. That the trees known to inhabit
moist marshy regions, where hot suns
and dry winds do not strike them, arc
an exceedingly unpromising class-the
swamp maple and the American larch
will serve as examples.
4. That resinous cOnifers, known to
live Oh dry ridge lands, in tolerably
dry atmosphere, by their viscid sap,
small tops and light foliage, seem more
promising than many deciduous trees
of watcry sap and broad leaf.
5. That those trees attaining the
greatest size the most remote from
running streams would seem to hold
out more encouragement than any
other.
6. That the honey locust, by its light,
feathery top, its thorny growth-a
badge of the desert-and being most
frequently found growing large at the
outer limits of Kansas forests. is the
most promising tree of them all. And
the Usage orange, being indigenous on
the upper Red river, and also having
the desert sign of thorniness, with a
tough, thick, glazed leaf, seems capa-
BILE of withstanding a deal of drouth.
Finally, the farmer who will plant
forest trees on the upland prairie
should try by all possible means to IA
vor his trees by the best of cultivation,
deep and repeated blowing and heavy
mulchiDg where practicable.
Again, general system of artificial
ponds, made by throwing dams across
ravines and running streams, by re-
tanning a cody of water, may amelio-
rate the dryness of the climate, and
even be the nucleus OF Il thrifty little
grove; fish pond in summer, and af-
| ford a sunnly of ice for winter.
