Erult rrees IN the Poultry Yard.

The practice of planting fruit trees
in the poultry yards Is becoming quite
general among poultrymen and farm
ers. 1t has much to recommend it,
since it is good for both fowle and
trees. Tie shade during the hot sum
mer days is a very desirable feature.
The loose soil under the trees (the
top of the ground should always be.
kept loose about the trunks) affords
excellent opportunities for exercise
and dust baths, and the insects, which
are certain to be attracted to the trees,
furnish a wholesome change of diet
The destruction of these insects, OF
course, works to the benefit of both
trees and hens; while the constant
fertilization aud tillage the trees will
receive promote healthy and visor-
Gus growth.
4 The favorite trees for this purpose
seem to be the plum and the pear.
The latter is liked because of its
sturdy upright habit Of growth; the
other because the hens answer the
hardest question OF the plum grower
how to get rid Of the curculio? APP
PIES, or the larger growing varieties
of cherries, may be equally satisfac-
tory; and it would seem that the
ounce might be planted to great adj
vantage in the poultry yard This
fruit does not ripcn until late in the
season, and is generally picked off be-
! fore it gets ripe enough to fall, SO
that the problem Of what to do with
the hens while the fruit is ripenine
is solved with much less difficulty
than If cherries or plums, apples or
pears were used.
Any one of the lighter breeds o.
chickens could easily learn to fly into
an ordinary plum OF cherry tree. ant
would rv havoc while there; W =
apples and pears have habit of rip
ening gradually and falling one at 9
time. With any of these fruits Il
is almost a necessity to have another
lot into which the chickens can b.
turned during the ripening.
l One caution may be given to thu
man who thinks Of planting trees II
his poultry runs: Do not plant to-
many trees. Shade is good for chick
ent in hot weather, but sunshine is |
necessity. DO not have the trees *
close together or so arranged that al
Of the lot lot will be shaded by then
at any time of day. Be sure, especial
ly, to give the early morning sun |
chance to get in. Remember, too, tina
the trees are liable to make yer,
vigorous growth If the soil is at al
suitable.-Farm Journal.
