Chiekena Benefit Gardens.

Too many people are afraid to LEI
their poultry ssa the inside o. their
garden enclosure. There are very
few weeks in the year when chick
ems, especially the Younger ones will
not be beneficial to the garden.
Be sure to have the flock in the
Garden while the land is being plowed
or spaded and again whenever 1t is
being cultivated. They get numer
Gus insects and vegetation destroyers
which otherwise may do considerable
damage during the season.
Did you ever watch bunch OF half
grown chickens irving to eat dirt and
nest when an ants nest has been
opened up They are especially fond
Of the ant eggs and gather up the
dirt in which those are mixed as
greedily as they do a nice lot Of fish
bait.
The chickens will have to be kept
away from the st-avSerrv bed while
the fruit is ripening, but al all other
times of the year tho bed will be bene.
fitted by having them range over It
regularly.
Tomatoes are a delicacy which they
greatly enjoy, but the young chickens
do not bother the ripe tomatoes very
much. Very little of the other garden
stuff will be damaged by the poultry
