mists and students of rural communi-
ty life.
The novel plan is to be given a test
under the new land laws which will
throw open to settlement every acre
of uncultivated lands in Canada and
are expected to result in an unprec-
edented rush of immigrants.
The homes of twenty-four farmers
under this new scheme are to be
grouped into a central village. Twen-
ty-four triangular farms of eighty
acres each will radiate from this viii
lake. Among this central group OF
farms eight similar groups will be ar
ranged, each containing a central viii
lage of ten farm houses with ten tri-
angular farms radiating from them

she is seen as the unfaithful wife-un-

= half miles from the central village.
villages of farmers are customary
in Russia and other European coun-
tries. But the village farmers of Eu-
rope are tenants of land owned by
some great landlord. Often the farm
land they care for lies several miles
from the village. The Canadian plan
contemplates each farmer as the own
err of his own land and living directly
upon IL.
The plan Is nos approved BY ALI
Some view 1t as impractioable. They
say the circular general scheme ana
the triangular farms contravene all
traditional rules of subdividing land
and would necessitate the abandon
ment of the rectangular method of
districting. This is true of course.
but the advocates of the plan declare
the farmer from community life would
make abandonment OF the old method
worth while, Electric lights. heating.

CURED to connect all thu outlying viii
lagos with the parent community

be necessary under the old rectangu-
lar plan, and the buying OF supplies
