Chickens In Summer.

■Chickens to do well In summer should have shade. Plum trees that attain maturity in a little time and are not objectionably tall make excellent shade for the hen yard. Any thick leaved, branching shrubbery, under which the Biddies may retreat, is de slrable. Gooseberry bushes are very good, but the flowering currant or bush honeysuckle that sprouts and spreads and grows rank and tall is the best shrub for shading.
