Poultry in Gardens.

Poultry in bush fruit gardens do ta
pecially well, and the bushes are benej
fited at the same time. The shade Is
very useful. particularly for young
chicks, and older fowls greatly enjoy
the partial shade afforded by special
bushes. such as raspberries and goose
berries. among which they do a great
deal to keep down weeds. as well as
to keep insects off the ground and
from the bushes.
