hens did the rest-kept off the bugs.
kept the ground free from weeds. fertil-
lied the crop and kept the ground in
fine condition, so that | didn't need to
cultivate. The yield is double that or
land adjoining, and the potatoes are
entirely free from scab. Seventy-fve
hens occupied the quarter acre. When
the potatoes were planted, a few whole
potatoes were thrown into the yard for
the fowls, so that they had no need TO
dig out the seed potatoes. 1 think 100
hens could care for an acre of potatoes
to their mutual benefit. y. Clark, IN
