Plum Trees in the Poultry Yard.

The Philadelphia Record, in q valuable
article on fruits, says that the plum is al
most unknown on some fruit farms, having
been driven out of existence by the curcu-
Ito, yet it is considered one Of the most
delicious fruits grown in this latitude. The
most successful plum-growers are those
VINO combine poultry raising plum trees in
the poultry yards with fruit growing. The
peach has been found to thrive better in a
poultry yard than anywhere else, and with
changeable yards, SO as to remove the hens
when occasion demands, the strawberry
gives excellent results when the poultry
yard is given up to it. But the greatest
advantage is secured when plum trees are
planted in the yards, as they thrive and do
well, while the labor of preventing the at
lacks of the curculio is greatly lessened by
the aid of the fowls. There are two profits
derived on a small space, and at the same
time the labor is no greater, while the soil
is Increased in fertility. The plan is to
have the fowls divided into flocks of twenty
five, with two yards to each flock, so as to
permit of changing the hens from one
yard TO another, as occasion demands, the
object being to permit of spadIng the
yards, thus turning under the manure, and
also to grow some kind of early maturing
green food, such as mustard, radish, etc.
