TREES IN THE POULTRY YARD.

1t was permissible in the beginning of
things that poultry yards should be
bare, for how were we to know that the
poultry industry is to grow and increase
until it becomes one of the great things
of trade?
Now, it seems to us, it would be well
to give some attention to ornamentation.
A poultry house, no matter how we'll it
may be built, is not picturesque, and
a naked fence is not ornamental. This
might be changed, and the bare, unpict-
uresque poultry yard made thing of
beauty and a delight to the eye.
We of the poultry fraternity have an
eye for beauty, or we would not be put
ting time. skill and money into our
effors to improve poultry and work up to
the high mark that we have set for the
fowl that is perfect in shape and color
We can create new order of things by
very cheap process, and that in the
end will return to us profit. We can
do this by planting fruit trees in our
poultry yards.
Ii there is one good argument against
doing this it has escaped our attention.
The trees are the natural protectors of
UlIuc VI al hlnsiS, AuiuiohAhS ehOAh wiz
best shade that can be imagined, for no
shed will furnish shade as cool as that
to be found under thick mat of leaves on
thrifty tree. A poultry yard is the
best place to plant trees because the soil
becomes more fertile the longer it is used
for run for poultry, and trees planted
| in such soil grow with amazing rapid
| ity and vigor.
Plum, cherry and crab apple trees are
especially suitable for poultry yards, and
when planted in such place produce
abundant crops because the fowls fertil-
ize the soil and are always on hand to
snap up the insects that are so hard to
control in the fruit growing.
A few poultry breeders have tried this
plan, and are enthusiastic supporters OF
lit. They find their fowls do better, and
that the crops of fruit obtained from the
trees are substantial addition to theiI
incomes. The cost of the trees is small
the expense of setting them out is but
ltrifling item, and the necessary training
NAV be done in so little time that it IL
never missed. The cultivation OF the
trees will take no time whatever, as the
necessary attention to the poultry yart
will give the trees all the cultivation
they need. d.-Exchange.

mAx,M,,u YIELDS OF GRASS.

Hundreds of farmers have been to visit

conclusion has been that care and good

They never stood up better. The new

FARM NOTES.

Now that the hay crop is about gath
cred it is time to do something with the
thin meadows and spots. If plOwed up
at once and well worked down, rye can
be sown in September, but trial Of the
Clark method of grass seeding is often
advisable where farmer cannot well
lose years use of the field for grass
After plowing harrow thoroughly with
disk or cutaway to cut up the old sod,
and seed early in September. Use top
dressing of well rotted manure or COM
mercial fertilizer. A thorough working
of the soil and early seeding will allow
for sufficient growth this fall to stand
the winter and give a good crop of hay
next year.
There is a class of writer's who seem

Don't forget that.
The buying of land may be well con-
sidered one of the safest investments of
the day from the fact that, comparing
agriculture with the present and pro-
spective conditions of other industries,

any other.

called jugs in the trade, are sold as 2,
8, 4, O. 0, IL, 1a, "a, 80 and 80 pieces to
each dozen, the price for q dozen being
constant.
The ordinary pitcher holding a quart
represents u to the dozen, while pint
pitcher is "a to the dozen and is so call
ed when dealing with that size.
Few Of the articles Of the trade are
sold In dozens Of IL, plates being al
most the only ones and some Of them
being sold GO, 20 and even 80 to the

Work of the Earthyvorm.

When we behold wide, turf covered
expanse, we should remember that It's
smoothness, on which so much OF Its
beauty depends, is mainly due to all
the inequalities having been slowly
leveled by worms. 1t Is q marvellous
reflection that the whole Of the superb
cial mold over any such expanse has
passed and will pass again every few
years through the bodies Of worms. The
plow is one Of the most ancient ana
most valuable Of mans inventions, but
long before he existed the land was, In
fact. regularly plowed by earthworms.
1t may be doubted whether there are
many other animals which have played
so important part In the history or

however, still more lowly organized

conspicuous work in having construct
