THE HEN AS AN ADJUNCT.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
Passing through the country the OBJ
serving traveller is impressed with the
low estimate placed upon the hen.
Many have only a very few, and these
are left TO shift for themselves, roost-
ing in trees and out of the way places,
and yielding returns just about equiva-
lent to the care given them.
AS an adjunct to dairying, the hen,
properly treated, cannot be ~over-esti-
mated. The reasons for this statement
Will readily present themselves to the
thoughtful man. In the first place, the
hen will find a way of utilizing manv

on the common stock, he says, the

THE GARDEN.

1t is one of the i~nalienable rights of
every farmers wife to have a good
vegetable and small fruit garden.
Without it it is impossible to make the
farm table as attractive as it should be,
and every housekeeper who takes pride
in her home, loves to set a literally
supplied and attractive table. In fact,
homes where the table is not attractive
are seldom attractive or home like In
other ways. With a good garden, a
skilIful housewife can set good table
with a very small outlay for such ar,
ticles as cost the farmer cash. Nobody
on earth can live so well, so independ
emily and with less expenditure Of cash
than the farmer who has a good gar
den and a good wite.-Philadelphia

season. and will flower and set fruit.
It is wrong to permit them to have
their way the first season. If new
shoots are being made q fruit or two,
perhaps, to verify the kind, is allow
able. But where leaves only are made
it is entirely wrong to allow fruit to
form. Flowers should be cut off be-
fore expanding. And even on trees of
a years standing there will be but lit
tie growth made should fruiting be
permitted.
What a drain FRUITS on the growing
of a tree I have often seen illustrated
in the case of two trees of the silver
maple which grew near by. One of
these is q seed bearer, the other not.
At this season of the year the non seed
bearer is full Of we'll formed leaves, and
an inch or so of new growth appears
at the end of each shoot. The seed
bearer has not q leaf expanded. 1t is
hanging full of seeds. In a week or
two the seeds will drop, and in a few
days or q week thereafter out will
come the leaves. II it were better
realiz ID what a tax fruiting is to a tree,
there would be more care exercised
that freshly planted ones should not be
permitted to do it.

NEWLY PLANTED FRUIT TRRRs

It has been my fate to witness the
loss of so many freshly planted fruit
trees, writes Joseph Mehan, in Garden
ing, that a few hints to those who have
planted some this spring may be of
use. Presuming that what have been
planted have started into growth, care
must be taken that what leaves are
made are preserved. Many trees push
out q few leaves, but make no fresh
growth. This indicates that but few
roots are active. I have seen garden
ers prune in such trees, thinking that
by lessening the top fresh and better
growth would ensue, but it never does.
Such trees usually die when so pruned.
1t is 8 great mistake to prune away the
foliage which q weak tree has made.
The preservation of the leaves, few and
small though they may be, will insure
the life of the tree, and the following
season a good growth may be looked
for. To preserve it, place a mulch of
some kind about the tree to keep the
soil cool and moist; and see that no
insect or fungous foe attack the leaves.
Mulching is n Of the greatest helps a
newly planted tree can receive.
Many trees are lost by permitting
them to flower and fruit too early.
Trees often start vigorously the first

few chicks taken along in the fall Of
the year find ready sale and add to the
family exchequer. It is not necessary
to buy very much Of the feed consumed
by poultry. We may raise all the corn,
oats and buckwheat We need for this
purpose.
Warm quartersin houses constructed
especially for them, as careful atten-
ton as we bestow upon other domestic
animals, and a little skill in ~disposing
of the egg product will soon convince
the most incredulous that hens and
dairying go well together. The garden
and other fields near by which are un
der cultivation should be closely fenced
from the hen. Valuable time and loss
of patience will thus be saved. A hen
out of place, as well as anything else,
is a pest. I believe that one great
source of the prejudice our dairymen
have against the hen arises from the
fact that fhe is not kept in her proper
place. The hen is worthy of the dairy
mems serious consideration. She may
be one of his best friends instead Of be
ing thought q dire enemy.

ut will pay any farmer to read about
his business, for, no matter how expe-
rienced he may be, there are many
things he will know from his own ven
lures. Especially in such work as
dairying is reading beneficial, because
there are so many problems to work
which require scientific attachments,
and which many farmers can hear of
only through constant reading" So
says the Pennsylvania Farmer. There's
some good sense in the statement, and

visitors were present in the gallery.
When the seniors marched in, wearing

tho college sang "Blest be the Tie
THAT Binds" and the senior class Alma
Mater, after which they marched out.
The examinations commence tomorrow

Great satisfaction is felt by the men,
bors of the cadet battalion, because the
order detailing Capt. =. ii. Murray, the

lege, Connecticut has been counter
manded. Military drill will now be aban-
doncd at Brown The excellent showing
