Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1883-05-10

He has been successful with the English
gooseberry for eight years. and has manured
freely aud pruned severely. A strong
growth of foliage is requisite. The currant
worm is the most serious obstacle that our
currants have to contend with, and for this
the use of powdered helebore is requisite
He would prune currants and gooseberries
as carefully AS grape vines. In regard to
mulching, he had practiced it up to three or
four years ago, bnt since then had dispensed
with it and found equally good results The
English gooseberry wants the morning and
afternoon sun, but will not stand the scorch-
ing heat of the MONDAY. He selected To-
cation some fifteen feet north of high
board fence. and found it to suit admirably.
He has cultivated the same currant bushes
for twenty years, and found them bearing a
good supply of fruit. ...,.

MANAGEMENT OF YOUNG CHICKS.

A man or woman has more sense than a
hen. Instinct is very good in its way, but
it is poor dependence in rearing domesti-
Gated animals. By domestication we destroy
instinct and train our animals to depend
upon our care instead of their own. We
provide TODD and lodging in them. and con-
fine and discipline them in every way, and
we must complain if they are found incapa-
bic Of attending to themselves successfully
under other circumstances. Compare hen
partridge and her usually large breod OF
chicks with a hen and her brood of chickens.
On the appearance OF danger the partridge
gives note OF warning and in an instant
every chick is under leaf or hidden where
the sharpest eye cannot detect it. And the
mother runs off and leads the suspected
enemy far away in another direction. circlipg
around a long way off to return to her seat,
tered brood, where. as soon as safety is as
sured. she collects them. But the hen loses
entirely her presence of mind, and in her
foolish and fussy efforts to guard her chicks.
tramples half OF them to death. 1t is so in

By the time this reaches our readers many
Of them will be just on the eve OF SET
ting out their spring purchase of shrubs ard
plants. If they have not the advantage OF
good rich soil where they desire to plant
them, we would recommend their digging
good sized holes and putting in plenty of
rich vegetable mould from our canyons
A few years ago it was recommended to
pour in plenty of water and make the dirt
lally Of mud This plan is, however, losing
favor. as trees are grown with good success
without it, But vegetable loan il very es-
sential, especially in localities where the
clay is near the top OF the ground.

Kill the most of the progeny before they are
half out of the she'll and weak one has no
chance at all. In cold weather it is still
worse. So that thepeuItry keeper just now
must watch his early broods, and AS they
leave the she'll should take the chicks from
the nest and keep them warm in nest in a
basket near fire until they are strong and
all have come out. Then they may be given
to the hen in warm roomy coop and left
assiduouSly until they are strong enough to
run out. Feed should be given in snail
quantities several times day and pure wa
ter at least twice. But warmth and cleanli-
ness are Indispensable and must not be neg
lected.-Er.
