Up 10 Date Farming Methods
TOO MUCH TROUBLE"
Everything About the Poultry Yard
Seems So to the Lazy Man.

Everything About the Poultry Yard
Seems SO to the Lazy Man.
A remark made to us by an &C
quaintance is the reason for the above
heading. He asked us the proper
method of feeding oats to fowls. We
answered that they ought to be boiled,
or at least hot water poured over them
and then allowed to soak for twelve
hours. ooh" said he, that is too
much trouble" This is written by one
of the editors Of the Kansas Farmer.
And so we find that a great many
people find it too much trouble to do
many important and necessary things
around the poultry yards. Hens, as a
rule do not like dry oats and won't
cat them il they can get other grain.
But if oats are boiled or scalded, the
hens relish them very much. especially
if little salt has been added to the
water. And there is no grain that is
better for egg production than oats.
Some think it is too much trouble to
clean up their poultry houses and al
low the filth to accumulate till it is Il
foot high. Some think it too much

butcher to send around change for Il

Canadian peas aud oats grown to-

BEES, CHICKENS AND FRUIT.

Combination Makes Very Profitable
Form of Intensive Farnning-Hens
Keep Down Insects That Prey on
Products of Trees.
Poultry and bees are the natural
allies of the orchardist in stimulating
the productivity of his trees and inn
proving the quality Of his fruit.
4 flock of chickens. domiciled in one
or more movable colony houses, will
feed to a large extent on the insects
and larvae Of insects found in the
ground. Especially will they do this
if the ground is cuItivated-as it should
be for the best results in orcharding.
many of these insects at future stages
of their existence, if not thus de-
stroyed, may become agents of injury
and destructive to trees and fruit.
Chickens will also devour the wormy
fruit which falls from the trees, thus
again assisting in the destruction of
the codling moth and some other pests.
We read much of the valuable work
done by insectivorous birds in gen
eral in this direction. They certainly
do enough to merit protection against
the shotgun, even though they do oc-
casionally take tOll' of the fruit
But the faithful hen does the same
work and without taking any toll.
The constant scratching helps main-
tain the moisture conserving dust
blanket" Meanwhile if the feed they
gather from the soil is properly sup
rlemented with grain rations their
production of eggs is as large as any
where else and they can be fattened
for the market with equal facility.
The presence or absence Of bees in
an orchard is often Of sufficient i'm
portance to determine whether the
fruit crop shall be large or small. Since
practically all fruit blossoms are fructi-
fed by the passing of pollen from one
flower to another and since the wind
too frequently fails to perform per-
fectly the office of a pollen bearer
great numbers of blossoms must re-
main unfertiiized but for the friendly
offices of the bees, which seldom skip
4 bloom as they pass from one 70 an
other in search of nectar. The pollen
gathers on their wings and bodies to
such an extent rs often TO change their
color. and 1t is dropped on the waiting
