If IA simple symmetrical exterior is
given TO the barn buildings which are
partly hid by trees, these will aid in a
pleasing view from the grounds and
dwelling. The ornamental trees should
be such as are perfectly hardy, and
which will grow freely when standing
in grass; and the larger and smaller
shrubs should possess a similar hardy
character, IA quality most readily found
in those commonly known, such as the
Tartarian Honeysuckle, the three species
of Philadelphus, the Burberry, SNOWFALL,
Lilacs, several Spiraas, etc.

FARM AND GARDEN.
OBSERVATIONS WORTHY OF NOTE
IN RURAL AFFAIRS.

The Improvement of Country Home
Grounds-How the Advantages of Shade
and Seclusion May BE Secured by a
Judicious Use of Trees and Lawn.
Owners and occupants of farms can
improve and plant the home grounds
and scarcely trench on their home
acres for farming. They need not fall
into the mistake which some make in
their endeavor to save every square rod
of ground by placing the dwelling
nearly on a line with the boundary of
the public highway and converting the
highway into a %barnyard.
All the advantages of shade and seclu-
sion, says Country Gentleman, may be
secured by a judicious use of trees and
lawn, with near proximity to the public
road, by an arrangement like that repre-
scented in Fig. /. The dwelling is placed
quite near to the road, but planted with
shade trees enough TO give seclusion.
The carriage entrance is on one side,
while a shorter footwalk on the other
side gives ready access and exit. In the
rear of hedwelling the more formal and
regular planting may be orchard trees,
with the more symmetrical growers
along the carriage way to harmonic

Wheat Raising.
RIVER FAILS March 10

RIVER FALLS, March 10, 1871.
EDITOR JOURNAL.-I take the liberty
and responsibility Of advising farmers
to go in for large acreage of wheat.
a glance at comparative values of
wheat, corn and oats for series of
years will show that values of the two
latter are relatively much higher than
usual. The result Will be to stimulate
an immense production of them this
year and, barring accidents TO the
crops, result in low prices. On the
other hand reserves of wheat have
become reduced to point that even
with big crop this year prices are
likely to be at least fairly good. It
will require two full average wheat
crops before any very low prices will
rule again. Taking one year with an
other, and barring chinch bngs, which
seem to have gone for good, wheat
pays about as well as anything. The
land hereabouts has had a long rest
from wheat and the recent ample
snowfall is favorable.
Values of crops go by cont raries as
a natural law of reactions. The high
price of potatoes is quite certain to
induce an immense acreage, and in
case of a full yield great fall in
prices. Potatoes cannot be shipped
to any great distance except only un-
der high prices. Wheat is the most
staple of all food products. / feel
very safe in advising a big acreage of
wheat this year.
