Why Every Country Place Should
Have n Natural Fence of Willows.
Every farm needs wind-breal1s. some
more than others. for protection in win

force Of the wind in winter will not Only
serve the same purpose in summer, but if
the right kind Will also supply shade,
and shade on a farm is as necessary as
some other things.
Anywhere. under any circumstances. a
wlnd-break saves-saves fuel in winter
whether put into the stove or fed to the
stock. and in the summer saves the life
or prolongs The life OF man and beast. A
tight board fence costs, but it is econ
Omy to build if no other kind be avail
able. but board fence in the summer
may be in the way and is always ra-

rectiOn ii may furnish shade, bat other
wind breaks are better.
Better than wood, more picturesque and
more useful in summer, is the natura,
fence of willows-the common wi.,ow
that grows wild in great abundance.
Nothing requires Tess care. A farmer
went into meadow and cut an armfGl
of willows in the spring, thrust the
scIons into the earth where he wanted
his wind-break, making two rows,
eighteen inches apart. and the work was
done.
The willows grow with surprising rap
idity If there be sufficient moisture, and
moisture they should have in abundance
at the start. After they are rooted they
will grow if the soil IS not moist, but
they grow faster with moisture.
In two seasons they may be an appre-
ciable windIo-eak, and in another the

the hedge of willows is ornamental; it
gives the yard, the buildings and the sur
r0undings generally a bright setting. and,
more. it provides through the hot months
shade for al small stock on the farm

Ornament Yonr Farm.

Not at great expense. but with good
sense. Do it with skill and judgment,
with a few trees here, another there, and
a bunch elsewhere. You may never want
to part with your farm that makes no
difference; a place beautiful is Just as
good for you as anybody else. and few
artistic touches will often do It at little
labor or expense. The beauty thus add
ed to ours is not only an example but a
stimulus TO others to do likewise ard
presently you may find homes of beauty
all along the road from town to horne and
added value that few could fail to ap-
preciate. The highways and the Travelled
roads Of our country could be made as
cool, shady and attractive as the famed
roads of Europe If the owners Of the
farms bounded by them could only be
induced to plant shade trees within their
fences. And does the reader suppose for
a moment that such trees need he only

adds value. it is true. but timber has a
value in addition to the beauty it aft 'rds,
and as well food and protection for birds
and for lives took, fruit and nuts Cor The

our forest timber is gone, be Of more
than ordinary value for the practical pur-

and stored in dark Closets opening out of
