in Fig. may be adopted. The farm
road enters and passes directly tow I'd
the rear of the farm. At a conv, nient
distance, anywhere between two rods
and twenty, the dwelling is situated,
but to prevent rough loads from going
too near it, a curve is made which
leaves a sort of island in front of the
house, the loads of manure passing
straight ON and the carriages with pas
sengers turning up to the dwelling.
The ''island" is planted partly with
evergreens, which obscure the heavy
loads as they pass the house. The
fruit and vegetable garden is arranged
SO as to be cultivated with a horse,
and the source of manure at the barn
invites its free use and promises the
best crops. On the right of the dwell
ing is small portion of ground kept
as a smooth lawn or planted as de-
scrlbed under Fig. ].
To give finish and beauty to both
these places more can be accomplished
by a continued use of the lawn mower
than by an equal expenditure of labor
n any other way.-Country Gentleman.

PIGS AND DAIRYING.
Some Points to lie Considered Before
Giving Up In Disgust.


Giving Up In Disgust.
In many localities, says the Amer
lean Daryman, the profits of the dairy
can be considerably augmented by
keeping pigs The custom of keeping
them for this purpose has whatever
merit may attach TO age. It has been
followed for many generations. But it
has not always yielded the returns de-
sired. There has been a great deal of
complaint that in cold weather the pigs
would neither grow nor take on flesh
as they should do. OF late, since the
tide as turned toward winter dairying,
the assertion that it does not pay to
keep pigs is heard more frequently,
and is made with more than the old
time emphasis. That many pigs are
kept in winter without profit, and that
some cause their owners an actual loss,
cannot be denied. But it is highly
probable that if these pigs were kept
in really comfortable quarters in which
their food would not freeze and they
would not be cold, were given meal
with the milk so as to furnish nitro
genOus and carbonaceous food in suita-
BILE proportions, and were cared for as
carefully as other classes of live stock,
they would grow so fast and take on
flesh so rapidly as to make them among
the most profitable animals on the
farm

A Monster Radish.

With the people, the houses, the tea.
pots, the chickens, and so many things
on so small a scale in Japan, there is
all the greater surprise when one finds
anything there which has attained an

white radish, dailxon, from six to ten
feet in length, strikes one as veg

The giant in one fairy story uses a
daikon for a club. and the street

How to Hake the Surroundings OF q
Farmhouse Attractive.
Many of the publications of past
years devoted to designs of home
grounds and landscape gardening,
treated less of farmer homes than Of
town lists and city residences. With a
view of supplying this deficiency in a
small degree, we propose occasionally
to give a few plans of country places
in connection with mOderate-sized
farms, or of those containing from one
to two hundred acres, the owners of
which reside upon them. and can de-
vote some spare means to their i'm
provement by planting.
Fig l is plan where about two or
three acres of nearly level ground is
occupied with the dwelling, barn and
and the fruit and vegetable garden.
Little explanation is needed. On the
left is either the farm road or a by road
not much travelled by the public, run

ated the barn buildings generally in
