Preparation For the Guest.

In the country home where summer
boarders are desired there must be
timely preparations. In early spring,
so soon as possible, spring broilers
must be Matched, the first garden veg
etable must be planted. Indeed it is
often profitable for several country
families to work on the cooperative
plan, one raising vegetables and ber-
ries, another attending to the milk.
butter, eggs and poultry supply.
The house must be put in thorough
order. 1t will pay we'll to build We
randas around bare old country houses,
to have roads so good that men and
women cyclers can enjoy that most
delightful of all recreations-a trip
awheel. Fresh paint, smooth, pretty
lawn, flower beds and roses here and
there, trees or shaded porches where
hammocks may be swung, if possible
running water and a bathroom in the
house-these are some Of the attrac-
tons that make the city boarder re-
turn again and again.

The Summer Boarder's Rights.

To get the products of the country
pure and fresh is what one goes out OF
the city for. These products include
fresh air, quiet, shaded grounds and
real country food at its best. If there
is u pond lake or river near by where
bathing and boating can be had, all the
better
The food the summer bOarder has a
right to expect includes fresh eggs,
milk and cream (and plenty of them),
also berries, fruit and fresh vegeta
bles. Tender. we'll cooked poultry, say
once a week, is desirable. Tie city
person can get heavy roast beef, fac
tory pickles, patent buildings and mix
ed up, artificial desserts at home.
The boarder in the farmhouse has a
right to expect that the unspeakable
smells due to bad drainage and nearby
barnyards shall be absolutely abolish
ed. These are the worst drawbacks Of
many farmhouses. Instead of return
ing home refreshed and vigorous from
living outdoors. many a time the con-
fding city boarder takes back with
him the seeds of malaria or a fatal
typhoid. directly traceable to poison
germs that came from bad drainage and
neglected outbuildings or the proximity
of the live stock quarters.
Rout out the poisons!

snow water flowed down the mountain
sides, ready to be tapped and drawn
into tie country home; tiny valleys fer
tile as the garden of Eden nestled all
through the region. 1t was an ideal
place for poultry rearing, dairying and
fruit and vegetable raising. Huckle
berries were to be had on the mountain
sides for the labor Of picking them.
The inha bitants around there nearly
