Small Yards For Poultry.

When it is not possible to supply a
range of considerable size for the
fowls and they must be practically
kept in yards. an excellent plan is to
divide the yard into two or three Sec
tons. according to its size, and treat
them in the following manner: Plow
or spade each yard. and in one or two,
if divided into three spaces, plant some
early vegetables that will require some
cultivation - radishes, for example.
When the crop is taken out. turn the
fowls into this yard and plant the
others in the same way. When the
yards are divided into three, one Of
them may be prepared thoroughly and
grass seeds or oats or millet sown IN
it, with the vegetables III the second
yard. while the fowls occupy the third.
When the grass Or small grain gets
two or three inches high, turn the
fowls in this yard and SOW the soil in
the yard they occupied. in q like man
ner. BY the time they have cleaned
out the grass lot, the one in which
the vegetables are grown will be ready
for them to scratch over. 1t is sur
DriSing how we'll the fowls will do
under this plan. even though each yard
is very small.

Growing Lima Beans.

: NJ vegetable is more popular than
lima beans, and they are suitable for
all classes of persons as we'll as for
all manner of dishes. The difficulty
with them is the poles. which are some
times expensive, but if strings are
used, as is done for climbing flowers.
the vines will grow ard thrive equally
as we'll. All that is necessary is to
keep them OF the ground. and it is not
necessary to pole them if inccnvenient.
The late crop should be large one,
not only for the purpose of supplying
the family table, but also that they
may be dried and laid aside for win
ter. If stored away they are verE
seryiceab!e 1T that season. as they
may then be soaked and used for the
same purposes as wien they are
green.

FOR AN IDEAL CITY
The Hexagonal Plan Suggested as Inaf
Best Suited For All Purposes.

More attention is being given to-day
to the systematic planning OF citles'
with view of affording the most con-
venient means of getting from one
point to another, and at the same time
of gratifying q. growing demand for
artistic effect. In an article In the
Craftsman, Charles r. Lamb gives the
subject a thorough discussion. ana
after reviewing a number of plans OF
arriving at these ends, comes to the
following conclusions: Municipal art
must have for its foundation practl-
scability. Its very essencekfs dependent
upon the, harmonious relations be-
tween this and beauty. and, therefore.
a city planned to be developed IN ar
-tistic. and .eSthetic directions must De
based upon the most practical plan.
And what is such plan? TO the
writer's mind, all forms Of rectilinear
plans must be discarded. The cutting
of these with diagonals is. after all,
but a makeshift. II not IN oblonG or
q square, what form would be the
basic one upon which to found the
city? After the fullest consideration
of all the possibilities that geometric
figures give, the writer is tempted to
suggest the scheme shown in the ac-
companying diagram, the hexagon.
This permits the development of the
city to the utmost that might be posi-
Bile within many decades, because with
the hexagon, the great advantage OF
the diagonal is secured, and. at the
same time, intervening spaces which
can be secured for Fairgrounds and
park areas, between the large central
areas. which. in turn. can be. used
for groups of civic buildings in certain
parts of the city. and, again, in other
parts OF the city seats Of learning.

The mere this plan is studied. the
more it will be found to approach the
idea Of practicability, primarily in re-
gard 10 shorter distances that person
would have to walk or drive from any
one point to another. The sub-divisiC'.
of the interests into groups by a divi-
sion of the park area. is to be distinctly
commended from its sanitary point OF
view. as these interruptions Of natural
foliage give the greatest advantage
TO the inhabitants Of each quarter.
Esthetically. the grouping Of the pub
lie. semi-public. and private buildings
around common centres largely lin
creases the architectural and artistic
possibilities over the accidental oppor'
tunities offered by the ordinary plan
of the city; while the angles caused
by the hexagon permit interesting
variety in the treatment Of the street
facades over that developed by q
straight and continuously curved
street. Of course, such plan is
assumed primarily for level country.

Cabbage "a q Sheep Food.

The utility Of the cabbage as sheep
food is not matter OF question, as
breeders in all parts of the country
have proved TO. their satisfaction. Per-
haps the Canadian breeders have
shown a greater readiness to appre-
ciate the advantages OF cabbage as a
sheep food than the average American.

quantity Of cabbage is raised yearly

can the cabbage be grown in all sec

Raising Alfalfa hoy.

There seems to be little question but
what alfalfa can be grown on almost
any good SOIL provided such soil is
first inoculatcd with the alfalfa bac-
teria, but the care Of this crop during
the first season has much to do with
it's successful establishment. ESGcceS-
siYe growers make it 4 rule to cut the
alfalfa the first season at any time
when it seems to have stopped grow
ing: close watch is kept OF it and the
cutting is ione at the times mentioned.
50 that the field is cut over several
times during the summer.
After the first season. and when the
crop is we'll established, the time for
cutting for hay is when about one
tenth of the heads are in bloom; as
several cuttings can be made each
season after the first, care should be
used in the last cutting not to cut too
close. else there is danger Of winter
killing. it is to be hoped that it will
not be many years before alfalfa will
be found on every farm, for it is ce:-
tainly one of the most profitable crops
for farmers to raise. q. =

Some Garcen Hints.

Nitrate OF soda is all excellent fer

will thrive. String beans may be plant

one of the best crops for the garden.

and reAalso grown with but little
labor, considering their enormous
yields. Turnips may be planted for an
early supply. and should be followed
by late crop. The value of garden
depends on how it is managed. To
derive the most from it the plot should
be made to produce both carly and late
crops, and at no time should there
be q vacant spot unless too late in the
season to grow another crop before
frost.
