THE PRAIRIE POND.

We have a good friend who has a
love for nature and for natures things.
who has created woodland pond right
out ON the prairie which aside from it's
practical usefulness affords him an
endless amount of pleasure. He took
muSkeg swamp, one OF those rat
house sloughs containing about one
fourth acre. During a dry time he went
at it with pillow and scraper and scoop
ed it out to depth of from four to
five feet, piling the excavations around
the edges He then planted Il variety
OF trees and woodland shrubs and vines
on the edges of the pond. which soon
was filled to the brim with water. AS
soon as the trees began to grow the
birds found the place and sought the
prairie oasis for its water, shade and
protection-water rs well as land birds.
The heron, the teal. the waderS, the
Snpe and WOodc0ck dropped III, while
blackbird, robin, oriOle and thrush fell
in love with the place. Our friend has
quiet hiding place on the banks of the
pond, where he loves to go and watch
his many feathered friends, and what
with them and yagrant insect life, but
terfly, moth and bee, the rabbits and
squirrels he gets more for his money
invested in this prairie pond than any
other. investment he ever made. When
winter comes he fills his ice house and
supplies his neighbors. Some of his
neighbors call him fool; we regard
him as Il very wise man.

MANS LOVE or NATuRu

Most men have latent love for ma
ture, the soil and it's products. no mat
ter where they live or what they do
Thus the city man takes to parks,
shrubs and flowers. to lawn and trees
for his city home, and. limited as op-
portunities may be for nature study,
there is still nothing which insures
more intense and lively interest among
city children This inherent love for
nature and natures works opens an al
most unlimited field for exploitation
how crudely, but it rewards every eff
fort hundredfold by promoting an in
terest in the common and practical
things of human living and its refining
and wholesome influence OH humanity.
No better reform is now in progress,
viewed from an aesthetic, sanitary and
civiliZing standpoint than that Of
teaching city people how they may
clean up beautify and regenerate their
back yards. The utilization of vacant
city lots for gardens. worked by the
very poor Of the municipality, not only
converts unsightly patches of weeds
into beauty spots, but in direct and
helpful manner ministers to the com
fort and happiness Of those so engaged.
1t is passing strange that just where
one would look for the evidence of this
refining and cultured work, where ev
cry natural facility was waiting to pro
mote it, there is where the least Of 1t
is to be found, and that is on the farm
homeSteads of the country. With am
pie room for grass, vine fruit, flower
and tree, there may be found the most
dreary forbidding and uninvlting sur
roundings Energy and business enough,
plenty of work and push in the raising
Of hogs, corn and cattle, plenty Of mon
ey and opportunity, but with it all an
utter lack of appreciation of What
might be done at so small an expense
in the identifying of the home, which
really, for a fact, represents to every
man about all there is worth working
for. for no ownership of broad acres, no
generous bank account, no thrifty herds
of cattle and swine. count for very
much If the home is only a place in
which to just eat and sleep-a human
cattle shed. The most delightful and
attractive homes of America should be
found on the American farm and will
be some day when the renaissance OF
agriculture comes. Any farmer who
will study this problem of making his
farm home beautiful and express in the
new and better way with tree, shrub,
plant. flower, vine and lawn that refine
ment and culture of taste which are so
easily possible will by his example do
far more for the community in which
he lives than he could as member of
the legislature or as the bishop Of his
church John Bunyan pictures char
acter in his "Pilgrim's Progress bow
ed to the ground, eternally working
with an old muck rake in the pursuit
of money, while an angel fioated just
above. but unseen by him, with gold
ell crown for him il he would only look
up. You men who live day by day in
dreary and desolate farm homes, who
see at your fireside wife and children
with every refined taste and aspiration
crushed out of them in your hog and
corn race for bank deposits, look up!
