IMPROVING HOME GROUN. S.
The Ground Plan of an Attracs
tive Design.

While the illustrated design may
seem to- elaborate for application to
farm home grounds, and they will ap-
ply quite as we'll to town or small city
plots, it is not expensive, for the main
item is that of labor. Ones house may
not be so pretentious as that shown in
the plan, but that will not interfere
with the application of the design. 1t
will be noticed that two things in the
design are prominent-the preserva-
ton Of a large expanse of lawn and
the grouping of the shrubbery in
masses instead of dotting individual
shrubs here and there over the lawn,
Then the drives are in simple curves
by which the symmetry of the plan is
preserved.
The back yard of the farm proper
if it extends back from the rear of the
house, is shut off from the road view
by line of shrubbery at one side or
line with the rear of the house snd
on the other side from little back oil
the middle of the house. At the join
ing of the drives (Which are also the
walks is made bed for Towering

to use both hands in stretching and
hammering instead of being obliged
to employ one in holding the tacks in
place as he makes futile attempts to
strike them on the head.
Any one who has gone through the
experience of hanging small pictures
in high out-of-the-way places will also
appreciate the new hammering tool.
The mechanism is not complicated
As the illustration shows, it consists
Of hammer, whose jointed handle
is so arranged that long row of tacks
is fitted into a channel, which dis
charges them one at time in position
under the head of the hammer. The
hammer is magnetized so that the
Jacks are automatically held in place
until a sharp crack sends its point into
the carpeted floor or other material.

1t would seem as if. after these many
years Of experience they would have
learned good remedies for every insect
pest.
They have learned many, and the
scientific men who are constantly
working on this very important prob
LEM have found excellent economic
means to destroy the great majority
of Injurious insects. But every few
years there appears some new insect
pest, which IS so strong and prolific.
or which lives in such peculiar way,
that it is able TO do enormous damage,
to destroy millions OF dollars worth of
crops, and sometimes to alarm more
than 4 single country and affect the
relations of many civilized nations
A few years ago the San jose scale,
minute creature which Injuries fruit

and occasloncd the passage of edicts
and laws il many foreign countries by
which American fruits and fruit trees
were practically barred from interna-
uonal commerce.
And now another of these great in
sect scourges is affecting the cotton
crop Of Texas, and threatens to spread
all through tho cotton States. 1t is
partly due to the great damage which
this insect has done that the price of
cotton last year went up to almost I'M
precedented figures, so that cotton

Brownsville, and was carried north
across n great extent of grazing coun-
try in cotton which las taken to be
and is on the east within n few miles
of Louisiana.
During ali this time the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State Agricultural College of Texas
have been studying the insect and try
ing to find some means Of fighting it
successfully. Eight Or niLe years ago
it could have been stopped and all
this damage prevented by abandoning
the culture &C cotton in rather un-
productive section. Or, if the planters
could have been induced to cut down
and burn the cotton stalks in the fall
it is probable that the insect would not
have spread, and would eventually
have been exterminated.
All sorts of experiments have been
made with different insecticide mix
lures and with many different kinds
of machines The most careful stud
les have been made of the life history
ard habits OF Tie insect. Experts
have been sent to Mexico. to other por-
tons Of Central America and to the
West Indies as well, to study the in

OF being able to find some parasite or
