BeautIfy Your Homes.

THERE is not place in the entire

proved in ornamental appearance and eff
feet with but little trouble and at little ex-
pense.
Farmers especially are apt to think
that, because they are poor and their
means limited, they are unable to carry
out any ideas Of improvement; or, If they
are well of, they are always waiting for
some time to come when money will be
more easily spared, OF they can have
more leisure for the purpose.
In fact, there is belief widely preva-
lent among plain country folk, that pretty
houses and attractive surroundings are en-
tirely unnecessary, too costly, do them
no good, do not belong to the farmers
humble lot, but to the village resident, or
those who come from the city, who alone
are supposed TO possess the proper taste

This is all wrong. If country life was
only made more pleasant by the addition
of beautiful and tasteful improvements
around every farmers door, we believe
that farm life would present better in
ducements than It now does for content.
