Cabbage a. a shsep Food.

The utility OF the cabbage as sleep
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 greater readiness to appre.
clate the advantages of cabbage as a
sheep food than the average American,
though in this country also large
quantity Of cabbage is raised yearly
for the purpose mentioned. Not only
can the cabbage be grown In all Sec
tions of the country. but 1t is a food
that Is greatly relished by the sheep,
being In certain respects preferable to
rape; take, for instance. the late fall,
when the prevalence of frost makes 1t
unwise to introduce rape in the sheep
diet. Then, If the iockmaster has
been sufficiently foresighted to grow
and store away a good quantity Of cab
bage, let him feed them to the sheep
and We have no doubt that he will be
quick to realize the advantage of 50
doing. Under favorable conditions an
acre will produce many tons OF cab
bage. though 1t must be admitted Il
Is not always an easy matter In q dry
season to get the young plants well
started in growth.-Shepherds' Bull

Growing Lima Beans,

No vegetable Is more popular than
lima beans, and they are suitable for
all classes of persons as well as for
all manner OF dishes. The difficulty
with them Is the poles, which are some
times expensive. but IL strings are
used, as Is done for climbing flowers.
the vines will grow and thrive equally
ms we'll All that IL necessary Is to
keep them of the ground. and it is not
necessary to pole them IL inconvenient.
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. II stored away they are very
servlceable at that season. as they
may then be soaked and used for the
same purposes as when they are
green.

Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain, but at
a somewhat greater cost of feed. Corn
and peas make a slightly smaller gain
than the other feeds. But the differ
ence was so small that the convenience
of procuring the feed is the largest ele-
ment in the case. AS peas and oats
may be grown together very conven-
iently ami cheaply, this crop secures
some advantages over others which
will give it preference in this re-
gard.

Legumes on Stock Farms,

that alfalfa. cowpeas and crimson
clover We're great factors in reducing
the concentrated feed bills Of dairy
men and other stockmen. 1t was
shown that the maximum crops of al
falfa yielded 1870 pounds Of protein
per acre or an equivalent of ~ tons
Of cOttonseed meal. The maximum
crops Of cowpeas and crimson clover
contained each about 725 pounds Of
protein. A crop of clover and one Of
peas may be made into hay annually
from the same acre of land, hence
where alfalfa fails to thrive these
crops may be used as substitute

On account of the scarcity of oak,
chestnut and other hardwood timber
commonly used for railroad ties, rail
roads have been successfully using the
softer woods, which have been treated
with chemicals such as creosote, zinc,
chloride, etc. Preservative treatment
outlast white oak tie. The use Of
screw spikes instead of nail spikes en-
ables the soft wood to resist the strain
and hold the rails in place. The use
Of soft wood Is likely TO improve the
market for those grades Of timber suit
