Chicks in the Garden.

1t is a very excellent practice to
place newly Matched broods in an en-
closed garden that the older fowls do
not have access to. Confne the moth
er hen in a coop, which may be placed
in the shade of any small fruit tree or
bush. AS chicks require soft and del
icate food at first it is difficult to feed
them if their coops are placed where
the rest of the flock can pillage freely.
The London GARDENERS Chronicle
speaks of the valuable service of little
chickens in the garden as follows:
"They run about, doing no harm, their
little bodies and feet leave no impress
sion on the soil; they do not scratch,
seem never dissatisfied, but find pleas
ure only in the pursuits of food or in
basking in warm corner in the suns
rays. While in this stage of infantile
innocence the little creatures can in
the garden perform vast amount of
goed. Their little eyes spy out and lit
tie bills gather myriads of insects that
are not easily visible to the human eye.
Perhaps owing to the very minute ma
ture of the food they gather, perhaps
arising from their characteristic vorac-
ity, they are almost always roaming
about and doing useful work. Mean
while the clucking and anxious mother
may be kept secure in bottomed coop,
which, removed here and there in the
garden, will allow the chickens to en-
JOY fresh feeding each day.

Violent Measures Fail

When adopted to reform irregularity of
the stomach and bowels. The medicine
whose action most closely assiMilates to
that Of Nature in her benignest moods is
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters. This sover-
eign remedy for indigestion and costive-
ness contains no gripping or drastic ingredi
entS, and is a stOmachic and laxative of
we'll ascertained efficacy. 1t is also used
with signal and attested success in cases
of rheumatism, fever and ague, and weak
ness of the kidneys and bladder. 1t is a
reliable means of cultivating vigor, and is
commended as a medicinal Stimulant and
corrective by physicians of eminence Its
basis of pure spirits is modified by remedi-
al constituents, which pre-emiEently fit
it to exert tonic and reformatory influ-
ence upon weakened or disordered sys-
tenn. 1t is medicine which has widely
commended itself by the decisiveness and
prOmptitude of its effects.
