bend the wires in the right form, take
piece of board and draw balloon
shaped outline upon it of the desired
size. Then cut the heads off of some
six-penny wire nails and drive them in
the board at intervals of two or three
inches along the outline mark. Then
bend q wire in the line of the mark,
giving it one turn around each
nail. These loops are represented in
the drawing at A, B, G, D, E and f. To
make the trellis, take three such wires
and crossing them at the apex stick
them in the pot and connect them by
horizontal wires put through the loop
holes. A perfect globe trellis may be
made in the same way. A collection of
climbers upon handsome hollow trellises
might be made very attractive, having
the trellises of different forms and sizes
to suit different kinds of plants. A
free growing climber like the German
ivy or Madeira vine can be made to
cover trellis as big as an oil barrel in
few months, if properly grown. II

What is wanted is large amount of

The simplest form is to follow the
example of the gardener or hop grower
and have a pole, only it should be a

them with brad awl, three inches

A DAYS FARM WORK.

Not Forget the Holidays.

Brighten the "Every Days" and You VIII
Not Forget the Holidays.
j. M. Rice, Christian County, NO.,
seems to know how to get the most of
true living on farm, and in recent
number of the Practical Farmer tells
how he gets some of it.
He says: "There should be a time
when the work for the day is over,
when the harrassing chores are all
done and real rest at noon be had, and
real rest and recreation in the even
ing.
sit is our rule to have the work to
stop in time, that the chores may all be
done before dark. Throw aside at
least some of the work-a-day clothing
and gather in well lighted room where
books and papers abound.
Don't be content to have on your
table the interesting local paper and
even good farm and home paper; but
let there be half dozen suited to the
varied tastes of the family.
"In our little circle of six, no two of
us are equally interested in the same
things. Why should not the wants of
each mind be supplied so far as posi-
BILE? You may say you can not afford
it. We think you can.
"We were never so poor--and we
have often thought we were at the bot
tom round among common farmers
but what the library table was better
supplied than the dining-room table.
We think more of the minds of our
children than we do Of their bodies, and
in the little circle of growing boys
and girls we see the good fruits of the
outlay.
''There has never been a day or night
when the farm has not been our home,
and we have tried to make it pleasant
place for the young people, and we
have the satisfaction of seeing them
with deep love for the farm home,
with no desire to wander away from
it's fold. Yet they have deep interest
and an active place in every good work
in the community.
Brighten the every days and YOU
will not forget the holidays"
