Under no circumstances do I at

pened honey. 1t should also be of

we shall have to dispose Of some dark

even then have two or three thou

CLASSIFYING THE YOUNG
CHICKENS.

In nearly every instance of chicken

ages. There will be weeks and some-
times months between them. and to
bring them up In mixed lots 70 not

II Is = kind Of process of tho sur
vival OF the fittest, a. the older chicks
dominate tho younger. ana the latter
generally come of badly. They have
to take = back position In all things.
~ the large and stronger select the
choicest and most Of the foods and
the most favorable positions IN the
runs and houses.
We often hear OF early chicks do
Ing we'll and late ones not succeeding
so completely. This II wondered at,
and few may attribute It to the cause
I have pointed out. but 1t g very often
the case;
II isSa good plan to classify all
chickens al far a. possible according
ito size and age. and bring them up
In patches. This II most successful
arrangement. and far moro satisfac-
tory than mixed rearing.
The smaller chickens should al
ways have the best attentions in Sc
lection Of the pursst ground. tho most
sheltered positions, and the sunny
spots.
Their food should be more adapted
for juvenile requirements than that
required tor the larger specimens, and
when all are about the same size, none
experience those aggressions which
often occur in the poultry yard. and
always to the disadvantage Ct the
young and weak.
In small yards each lot may be kept
In wired runs, but on tho farm all re-
quirements arei met admirably by
placing the coops or houses here and
there in different fields and positions
some distance apart.
How much better they all do by this
arrangement than any other. will. very

DON'T NEGLECT THE ORCHARD.
BY s. G. Miller.

No one thing seems more dlmCult
to impress upon the minds Of the
farmer and fruit grower than. the fact
that the orchard like other craving
crops needs care and culture and that
when neglected they will tell the sad
story, the same ~ other farm crops.
No crop will repay care ana cultiva-
ton better than an orchard and no
crop will suffer more by neglect. For
the first Ave or six years the frees
should be cultivated and after this q
system Of cultivation; cover crops and
grasses may bon INTRODUCED according
to the growth OF the trees and the
amount Of the fruit produced.
On most soils there will be SUFFICIENT
natural fertility to PRODUCES favorable
growth OF wood and believe that It
will be more profitable to use no fer-
tilizer until after the trees begin to
produce fruit. Some times when tho
soil is deficient in available pllnt food
It may be an advantage to use minis
eral fertilizer but a. q rule I bslievs
that better trees are grown from the
natural fertility Of the soil, and that
q better root system II developed than
when there Is manure and CONNER
oial fertilizers used to hasten tho
growth Of the trees.
After the roots interlock each other
so that they occupy all Of the soil.
they have utilized practically all Of the
available plant food in tho soil and
II the trees produce superior fruit
they must be literally fertilized. Tbs
use Of legumes as q source OF nitrogen
and an incomplete fertilizer rich In
phosphoric acid and potash IL the most
efficient and economical method OF
fertilizing the orchard.
