Clear the Dnnr-Yard.

There is nothing that makes the house
look more forlorn than litter in the yard
and about the barns and out-houses. A
dweller in towns notices particularly
such clutter because there are no waste
SPACES about city houses and everything
is kept neat. Look. at some outlying
farm houses and you will find a general
untidiness Old sleds are piled up in
the spring beside the fence, and there
left to be spoiled by the heat of the sum-
mer, and in the autumn the farm inn

carts, wheels, plows, harrows, mowers,
reapers, tedders-remain out of doors
to their great injury When driving
about the country, l always observe the
back yards of farm houses, and | have
counted seven sleds, four sleighs, ten
cider or vinegar barrels, eight old brok
en- down carts, sundry wheels, three
horse rakes, dozens of old packing box
es and baskets, and bushels of battered
fruit cans and tin pans, in space of
three miles. A great part of this litter

occupants had become used to it.
Now, women are really quite as much
TO blame for such untidy surroundings
as the men, who are so much occupied
with their field work that they take heed
of little else. Women's eyes are better
educated, and they should insist upon
spring and fall clearing-out of doors as
well as indoors-and persist in their ef
forts to keep the yard neat and clean,
not even allowing it to be disfigured
with piles of stakes and wood and poles.
Yet there are many housewives who do
their share in making their homes un-
tidy and unwholesome, for disease will
always follow in the wake of unclean-
ness.
When women throw corncobs, GU

Why should so much litter be thrown

securing rags be thrown away when

FAAUDULENT LAND ENTRIES

ST. LOUIS. April "a dispatch from
Wichita, Kansas, says that the recent
appointment of The government special
agent TO investigate fraudulent land en-
tries in Kansas and the west produced a
good deal of uneasIness among pre-emp-
tions in that section of the state. MANY
fraudulent entries were made in Kingman,
Sumner, Harper and Barbour counties
and cattle men acquired large tracts of
land for herding purposes which probably
will not bear close scrutiny
