GARDEN SHOULD BE PROTECTED
It is useless to plant a garden un
less it is protected against the depre
dations of poultry citid otht-;r live
stock. One o:- the other must be
fenced in. In the country, where
the poultry usu.iUy has free range.
the dui.ger to the garden from t! i
source is not so .-rious; but in towx
wheie the range is limited, poultry
must be confined. The garden in
tnwn thea becomes a valuable
source of green food necessary to
profitable poultry keeping.
A well planned garden should in
clude a fairlv wide radge of crops,
at least wide enough to satisfy the
varied tastes oi all members of th
family, and sufficient to provide a
bountiful succession of produce
throughout the whole year.

that a fair standard of living calls
