Little wonder that many farmers wives wear

picture, but too often true to life.

The garden can be kept clean much easier. as the
grass Will be continually encroaching on the small
beds. single square rod will enable you to
grow quite variety of flowers. but several rods
ought to be spared for this purpose. Locate the
flower garden where the wife can see it when
about her daily work. and it will prove means
OF grace to her. A very little work done at the
right time will keep it in order, and if weeds are
never allowed to to seed in it, the labor of
caring far 1t will be less each year. | cannot

What trees shall we plant and how place them,
is always a seasonable question There are
thousands of bleak, bare door yards which ought

trees, like the soft maple, may be planted closer,
to be removed soon as the more permanent
trees are large enough to furnish shade. Avoid
trees of soft wood, like the soft maple and box

maple and ash. The first for its 1.-THE, spreading
