Poultry for Orchards.

While it is an undisputed fact, says
the Poultry Guide, that an orchard is one
of the best places in which to establish
a poultry yard, we have also found poul-
try to be excellent for fruit trees. We
have sixteen Shockley apple trees, now
seven years old. standing in and around
our poultry yards. Some Of these sand
ing directly in the run of the fowls, has
as many apples as any five of the trees
On the outside. This is conclusive evil
Gence that the one is beneficial to the
other. The chickens destroy all bugs
and other insects that prey upon the
trees and fruit: at the same time they
keep down all grass and weeds and keep
the surface of the ground scratched up
and in mellow condition, thus pro
noting the health and vigor of the tree,
causing them to bear larger and better
crops of fruit Some of the trees in our
yards are literally hanging with nice APP
pies and so heavily laden that we are
compelled to keep the limbs we'll
propped to keep them from breaking
down. Shade is one of the indispensa-
bles about poultry establishment dur
ing the summer months, and it is GER
tanly better and more profitable to have
some good variety of fruit. We at the
same time get the needed shade while we
get bountiful supply of delicious fruit,
If of the right kind. We would certain
ly advise all to have orchards for poultry
and poultry for orchards, for the one
will be greatly benefited by the other.

The Weed That Causes Milk Sickness

A Mr.. w. T. Radcliff, of Olney, Ill,
has found the weed that makes milk
sickness" The accidental breaking of
the weed revealed reminiscent smell to
Mr.. Radclitf, who had once suffered from
that mysterious disease, and put him
upon consulting DIR. n. B. Allen, whose
scientific proclivity and proficiency be
came at once interested, and ne is now
discussing the matter with the Illinois
State Board of Health. MIR. Radcliff
tested the weed on several head of his
milk stock and all were affected and died
like the milk-sick cattle of pioneer times.
The State authorities are going to take
the matter up and settle the claims of
the weed, as, it is said, the State has a
large standing reward ready for the for
tunate disco, er of the cause of the once
famous and dreaded malady. The thick
ening of settlement and clearing away
of primeval growths have so far affected
the disorder that it is rarely heard of,
and there is not much rational need of
reward for any discovery affecting it

Make all level, keep clean of weeds by
hoeing, and at the end of the two fol-
lowing seasons plough the field. This
cuts and separates the roots, which will
soon start again and mat the ground
completely with new growth. Keep
clear of weeds. After you cut the green
mint in July or August give the land a
top dressing of well-rotted manure; do
not disturb the root again and you Will
have good crops of mint for many years.
Mint can also be grown in heated pits,
or frames under glass during the winter,
if well watereG.
When you have once got plantation
of mint you can enlarge it to any extent
by simply cutting the green stalks close
to the ground, take them to the land
prepared, stretch line across and dibble
them in as you would cabbage plants.
Firm the soil well to each cutting. Do
this IN damp or dull weather The cut
tings will soon root and eventually make
better plantation than by the other
mode of planting.

Unless the disease is the result Of a

The Dat Crop as a Fertilizer.

The Carrot as a Farm Crop.

The carrot can be grown upon any
good, mellow, loamy soil but requires
liberal feeding, and its cultivation should
not be attempted in soil that is ex-
cessively weedy, or the labor at first will
be so great as to become discouraging,
as they must be kept clean in order to in
sure even average success. The carrot
is, however, when fairly rooted, a rapid
and vigorous grower, and its spreading
foliage greatly assists keeping down any
growth Of weeds. Several hundred busl-
els may be grown upon the acre. They
should be harvested before they are in
jured by frosts and put in root cellar
that is secure from freezing With dry
hay they form a most valuable supple
mentary food, and are especially liked
by horses. which seem to thrive under
them. Some farmers consider them fully
as valuable as oats for horses, and will
not be without them They are also ex
cellent for mich cows, giving a rich,
wholesome color to the cream and but
ter 1t is a crop worthy of cultivation.
