MAKES FIGHT ON 'HOARDlNGS'
English Newspaper Proud Of Action
Which Does Away With These
5lots on the Landscape.

Under the head "Hideous Hoard
ings" we find an interesting note in a
daily paper of London wherein is
shown the subordination of the bill
board to the claims OF the landscape.
England is as badly afflicted with bill
boards. largely advertising American
goods. as we are, and It must be quite
a relief to find even a single county
that has relegated them to their Prop
er place, for it would now seem as
though the latter is indefinitely indi-
Gated by the following list of restric-
tions taken from the London Daily
Graphic:
an the campaign against hideous
hoardings the latest bylaw to come
into force is the following. which was
promulgated by the Surrey county
council on Saturday: No advertise
ment shall be exhibited on any hoard
ing, stand. or other erection 20 as to
be visible from any public highway
whether carriageway. bridgeway or
fOotway). or from any public water
way whether river, tributary or
canaD. or from any railway. 80 as to

PLAN TOWNS FOR WORKERS
Great Britain and Germany Are Ahead
Of the United states II This
Respect

Henry Vivian, founder Of the British
cO-partnership tenants housing coun-
Gil. told the City club OF Chicago
of the great need for replacing tene-
ments with comfortable, sanitary and
hvable abodes for working people. He
| pointed to the manner in which cot
tages are being provided for the work
ers of London and Liverpool on the
outskirts Of those cities where suf-
| hcient light and air may be had.
Some of the hsusing ideas now used
in England for the welfare Of workers
have been borrowed from the Ger
mans, who studiously lay out their
towns in such fashion that the great
majority OF the residents are happily
accommodated Mr.. Vivian called Ger
many the country which Invented
town planning"
In view of the increasing impor-
tance attached to this problem the ex-
position of city building, organized by
the city Of Dusseldorf on the Rhine.
is Of more than passing interest, as
the Scientific American points out.
The idea of the exposition has been
suggested by the decision of the city
to call for a general competition for
the building of Greater Dusseldorf. the
outcome of extensive interpretations
Of neighboring communities. Dussel-
dorf. the old and quiet town of art
and gardens, has, with surprising
rapidity. become an industrial center
Of nearly 100000 inhabitants.
It was intended to exhibit such
plans of modern city builders as would
be received in connection with this
competition. but in order to avoid any
one-sided presentation of the subject
the municipality invited all the more
important communities Of the western
provinces of Germany to participate in
a city exposition embracing all fields
of communal life. This invitation was
sent out to all townships having more
than 10000 inhabitants in Rhenania.
Westphalia and Hessen-Nassau. as
well as to some firms more directly
connected with communal life. The
Dusseldorf exposition thus is a joint
intercommunal enterprise Of the towns
and cities Of western Germany. which
IN its conception IS entirely new.
About 600 exhibitors are showing near
ly 1000 different objects grouped un-
der city building, sanitary arrange
ments, hospital management, civil en-
gineering and industry.
With its historical and modern town
pictures. its models and photographs
of remarkable monuments and build
ings, old and recent. its reproductions
relating to the designing Of streets
and drainage plants. gas and water
supply. the exposition is nothing short
Of an illustrated history OF German
towns, and is bound especially to APP
peal to those concerned with the char
acter of modern towns and their mani
fold tasks from a social, educational
and sanitary point of view.

THE PLEsEIAN CABBAGE.

Cabbage. with onions. have gained
an unenviable reputation because Of
their odoriferousness, but cabbage is
wholesome vegetable, and one
which contains mineral salts which
are needed in the blood.
One reason that we tire Of certain
vegetables is that they are served in
so few ways; we grow to dislike them.
If a change Of serving could be often
made. and a little more care to have
a variety, these common vegetables
would be more welcome on our tables.
Cabbage cooked with an onion.
chopped and served in a white sauce
is an unusual. but very good, way Of
serving that vegetable.
Stuffed cabbage-Cut out the stalk
end Of a firm head OF cabbage. leav-
ing the hollow shell Tie the cabbage
in a thin cloth and boil until tender.
then carefully remove the cloth and
fill with seasoned stufing Of chopped
meat, bread crumbs and seasoning;
then bake in a hot oven until the cab
bage is brown.
Hot slaw,-Shred a head Of cab
bage, and pour over the following
dressing: Beat two egg yolks, add
two tablespoonfuIs Of water, a table
spoonful OF butter melted. a dash OF
salt and a quarter of a cup Of vine
gar. Cook this dressing over hot wa
ter and pour over the shredded cab
bage while hot. Heat the cabbage
and serve hot
Cabbage saIad.-Cabbage shredded
and a small quantity Of celery, a bit
of chopped onion added. then a boiled
dressing OF equal parts Of eggs and
vinegar cooked over hot water poured
over It and seasoned well with salt
and red pepper, makes a most desir-
able salad.

JUST WHAT HENS EAT
Meat Is Usually in Form of Bugs
and Worms.
Considerable Studying and Expert
mentins Necessary to Find Out
What Fowls Need and How
Much They Should Have.
CBy KATHERINE ATHERToN

GEhAMEosl
The hen has three reasons for eat
ing: to repair the tissues of her
body, to keep herself warm, and to
make eggs. 1t therefore follows that
her diet must be varied and plentiful.
II we open the crop of a hen that
has been allowed to eat just what she
pleased we will find that she has pro-
vided herself with three kinds Of food
grain, green stuff and meat The
last named is usually in the form Of
bugs and worms.
We must then. furnish our hens
with food of these classes. Moreover,
the quantity must be about right of
each. II they are net given enough,
they will have to use it all for body
building and heat production, and will
have nothing left over to make eggs
with. II we feed too much of some
kinds the surplus will go to fat, and
the hens viii get too lazy to lay.
It takes considerable studying and
experimenting to find out just what
the hens need, and how much they
ought to have. but we must learn as
soon as we can. or we will find our

Oats sprouted to supply green food
when none is growing In the open.
The arrangement Of the trays
shows sowing at week intervals.
Then trays can be slipped out and
placed in the poultry house as
needed.
poultry is not so profitable as it ought
to be. The feeding question is one
Of the most important in the whole
poultry business.
Experts tell US that a hen needs
about six ounces of food a day. A
flock Of ten. then, win need about
three and ,three-fOurths pounds a day.
or a trihe over twenty-six pounds a
week.
OF this amount two-thirds by weight
should consist OF grains The grain
should be a mixture of equal parts of
wheat, cracked corn and oats. A few
handfuls Of sunfiower seed, cane seed
or buckwheat should be added for va
riety. They are to the hen what pie
is to the boy-and you know what
that is.
The other third should be a mash"
which is a mixture Of bran and other
finely ground feeds. usually fed dry.
Some poultrymen moisten the mash.
but the majority claim that it is bet.
ter to feed it dry, and let the hen
moisten 1t in her crop by drinking
what water she wants. II fed dry
there is less danger from certain
kinds Of disease.
A good formula for a mash is as
follows: One-half bushel of bran,
quarts alfalfa meal, quarts each Of
ground oats and corn meal. table
spoonful of charcoal, pint of beef
scrap, / tablespoonful of salt and
teaspOonful of pepper.
This furnishes both meat and green !
food in about the right quantities. |
Where these elements are given in |
other ways the alfalfa meal and beef |
scrap may be omitted from the mash. |
These ingredients should be thor |
oughly mixed together. and the mash |
kept where the hens can get 1t any |
time they want it. 1t is a bulky food,
but not a fattening one, so there is /
no danger of their eating too much. |
The bran is one of the best condition
powders" poultry can have. 1t keeps
the system vigorous and healthy and
furnishes a large part of the egg-mak-
ing elements.
The grain food should always be-
thrown into a deep little OF straw or
char, where the birds viii have
to scratch for living" II you have
ever watched an old hen digging about
in the yard you will know that it is
as natural for her to dig as it is to
breathe.
Grit and lime, usually given in the
form of oyster shells, are two other
necessary elements. They should be
kept before the fowls all the time. A
very convenient hopper for feeding
