Villagers or persons who have but
small acreage will find the following
plan a good one IL they desire to econo.
mize their space, which it is very often
necessary to do, and always good prac-
tice. Ipropose to plant piece ofground
fourteen by six rods to pear and plum
trees, setting them about one rod apart
each way, which will give six rows
with fourteen trees In each, or eighty
four trees in all Around this shall
construct fence of wire netting six
feet high. Just on the outside of this
fence l build a chicken house large
enough to accommodate about two
hundred hens plymouth Rock and
Buff Leghorns), having the north side
on the line with and forming part of
the fence, and the south or front side
freely exposed to the sun. The hens are
allowed free range of this orchard
chicken park-and expect the chick
ems and trees to be of mutual advan-
tage to each other. The hens furnish
nearly or quite all the fertilizers the
trees require, while the trees will pro-
vide shade for the chickens We are
thus making good use of the ground
while the trees are small After they
once come into bearing, with fairly
good care, you have right to expect
largely increased profits. Pears and
plums are seldom if ever a drug on the
market The chickens are also of great
benefit in preventing the depredations
of the curculio. We also keep bees, and
thus add another element of profit and
mutual benefit-F.W Brooke, in Amer.

CORDUROY ROADS.
They Are Easily Constructed and Do Not
Cost Very Much.


Cost Very Much. E
We are asked how to construct a
corduroy road. In marsh or bog lands,
first lay all small poles or brush trans
versely and across the road; next, take
long trees-the smaller ends being at
least of ten inches diameter-and lay
them longitudinally along on these
poles and brush, in two rows. eight
feet apart from center to center, MAX
ing the ends at the junction of each
piece lap each other, at least three
feet, breaking joint on either side and
placing under these ends large logs of
sufficient length to extend across the
road, and two feet on each side of
these stringers. Cover these stringers
with transverse logs, twelve feet long
from scarf to scarf, and at lest ten
inches in diameter at the smallest end,
fitted close together, on the straight
portions; the logs alternated with. a
large and small end; and on the outer
side or curves all the large ends, which
will assist in the curvature of the road
and the gravity of the vehicles. Next
adze off the center ridges of these logs
to face OF about tive inches for the
width of nine feet in the center of the
roadway. and cover this nine feet with
gravel to fill in between the logs and
give smooth surface e-Farmers' Voice.

Adyantages of Broad Tires.

Some of the Massachusetts towns are
giving practical support to improy-
ing the country roads by ordering that
ali town garbage wagons, watering
carts should use the broad tires on the
wheels. Nothing cuts up road SO
badly as the narrow tire on the vehi-
Gle that is sustaining a big load; this
occasions the horrible ruts which de-
stroy often the best roads during GER
tain seasons of the year. The use of
broad tires by the farmers is to be
urged everywhere. When the farmer
does this it will be big advance to-
wards the solution of the good road
problem. 1t will be saving to every
farmer if he would make it "a rule that
the next time his heavy wagon goes
to the smiths he will have wide tire
replace the present narrow one. The
result would be great saving in wear
and tear to horse, wagon and harness

tightly and prevent believing. Pull
the head down tight against the
manger and tie the rope in one of the
rings at the lower corner of the chute
shown in the illustration. AS the rope
Is tied in the cut the animals head is
pulled to one side thus giving the op-
orator the best chance at the right

moved tie the rope in the other ring
thus pulling the head to that side and

Leak I'm the Plant Food.

To purchase fertilizers and lose the
liquid manure is TO allow leak in the
plant food. Fertilizers will always
prove beneficial, but the first duty is
to save all materials that will add to
the manure pile. When the liquid is
lost by not using sufficiency of alb.
sorbents, the most valuable portion OF
the manure will have gone with it, as
the liquids contain larger proportion
of nitrogen than the solids, and they
can easily be saved with as little labor
as is required to the solids.
