A FOWL HOUSE FOR RENTERS.


/ A Detached Building That sfay lie Cheap
ly Constructed and Easily Moved.
In country towns and villages there is
considerable class of small poultry
growers, who, being renters and there's
fore liable to moving about from one
place to another, require poultry houses
that may be transferred along with other
goods and chattels without great ex-
pense. For the benefit of this class is
here given an illustrated description
Of plan OF house recommended by the
editor of Farm Poultry as suited to the
requirements of renters. He says:
We give the plan of Il house such as we
should build We're we on a rented place,
or, if we adopted the colony plan, of
having detached houses set 1901 feet apart
over the fields, with the fowls having
free range. This house we should build
by IL feet or the ground, feet high in
front, feet high at the back, with a
half window at each end, and door,

sEultipiyi1l; Fuchias, Begonias, Etc, by
Slips and Cuttings.
Many desirable plants are readily prop
agated from slips and cuttings. What
the florist terms greenwood cuttings"
ire more commonly employed than those
from the mature wood, as they ''strike"
more quickly. Slips are greenwood
cuttings, bat the term is often restricted
to designate those which are made by
pulling Or slipping off Il small side shoot.
All soft wooded plants and many orna-
mental sfumps are increased by green
wood cuttings. There are two general
classes CT greenwood cuttings - those
made from the soft and still growing
wood, and those made from the nearly
ripened green wood, as in azalia, indica,
oleander, SIC. House plants, as gerani-
ums, colossus, carnations, fuchias, and
the like, arc grown from the soft young
wood. Sometimes truly hard wood is
used, as IL camellia.
In making cuttings from soft growing
shoots the first thing to learn is the
proper texture or age of the shoot. The
test for beginners is the manner in which
the shoot breaks. II on being bent the
shoot snans off squarely SO as to hang to-
gcther with only bit of bark, it is in
the right condition for cutting, but if it
bends OF simply brushes it is either too
old or too young for good results.
Soft cuttings are usually cut below Il
bud or cut 70 heel. Cuttings demand
for best results moist and uniform at
mosphere. Cuttings should be shaded
for weeiz or two. Oleanders usually
root best when mature shoots are placed
in bottles of water. Amateurs who have
not the florists conveniences of propa-
eating benches, etc, use wooden boxes.

corner in the garden. Soft cuttings may
be started in deep plate two-thirds full
of sand and filled to the brim with wa

ing and watering of tho cuttings.

early frosts, and while the small boy
doesn't hesitate to pluck bunch Of
grapes from an open vine he will hesitate
to touch the grapes that are in bags.
A firm point in favor of bagging the
grapes Is the fact that those who grow
fine grapes for market are the most pains,
taking III bagging them. Well, if these
growers Tor market cannot afford to
grow grapes without bagging them-be-
cause the bagged grapes are so much
finer than the others-can the amateur,
who grows a few grapes for his own
family alone, afford to ignore the bags?
