YOUNG CiIUKENS AND INSICCTS.-The
practice of excluding chiokens from
the garden, especlally in mid-summer,
is bad both for the chickens and for
the vegetables. The young chicks
will not thrive in confinement, as in
freedom, and the growing plants are
in a good measure protected from in
sects by the chickens. We have never
succeeded better with young broods
than by putting them, with the moth
er, in the vegetable garden, The
mother Is kept confined in a coop, and
the chickens have free access to her
through the slats. She follows her in
stinct in scratching over the ground
under the coop for worms and grubs,
and after a few days the coop is pushed
along to new soil. The chickens are
regularly fed with s6alded meal, or
boiled screenings; they supply theni
selves with animal food from the gar
den. The chickens are too small to do
any harm to plants that are ,well star
ted, and yet they pick up an Immense
number of insects. The more highly
the garden Is manured, the more ra
pidly do insects multiply, and the
greater is the need o1 birds and fowls
to keep them In check. The chickens
can go beneath cucumbers, squashes,
bean s, tomatoes, etc., and pick the eggs
and worms from the underside of the
leaves, where they are generally found.
They eagerly chase every moth and bug
that flies, and if one alights within
striking distance, it is sure to be de
voured. When the chickens are large
enough to do injury to the plants,
they are easily removed to other quar
ters.
DIsToUTING VEURTABLE OnowT.
The practice of distorting trees, shrubs
and climbers into various stiff and
grotesque forms, instead of allowing
them to grow In their natural and
graceful beauty, cannot well be re
garded as much of an improvement,
Both kinds of distortion are to be ob
jectici to, namely, by artificial means
purposely, and by allowing the trees
or shrubs to became distorted by unna
tural and one sided crowding. James
Vick glyes an illustration in his lMonth

a person has poor bread, nothing on
the table appears good; but with good
bread, one can dispense with some
other things, and still feel that she has
a nice dinner or tea. In col weather,
one can keep the sponge two or three
days and the bread will be Just as

LIME IN TIM TEA KETTL.-Every
good housewife knows that an iron ket
tle used for heating water that holds
limtle in solution, will in a short time
become coated with that substance.
This being a poor conductor of heat,it
will of course take a longer time to
heat the water than when the kettle Is
new. Copper or tin vessels do not be
come coated with lime. The reason is
that iron has an aillnity for lime which
the other metals have not. But this
fllinity can be overcome by coating the
