the English home is covered with ivy
and has the appearance of subtanti-
ality and solidity, as though it had al
ways been there and intended remain
ing. If you mention twenty years
hence" to the American, he will shrug
his shoulders and smile and tell you
he expects to be somewhere else in
twenty years.. if he has not bettered
half that time. But twenty years
and what does the place look like
then? 1t has had perhaps three coats
of paint. The second set of shingles
is curling up and needs replacing and
the house itself is worth one-half of
its value when new.
Yet it must be agreed that every
man should bufld house with the
idea of making it his permanent
home. adding ,to, it as his needs grow,
but continually improving it and
beautifying it. If for no other cause
than increasing its selling value, he
should build well and improve. And
this applies to the surrounding
grounds, the. outbuildings, etc, fully
as much as the home proper.
What is home without mother
and good wife and children? What
is home, would add, even with these
blessings. unless it is a real home, a
comfortable and a beautiful one?
All, there is difference, and such q
wide difference, between an abode or

practical standpoint, the Department
of Agriculture recently issued an il
lustrated bulletin on beautifying back
yards. This applied TO city and ST.
burban homes, but the idea is the
same everywhere,

winter. The place is constantly i'm

Balanced Rations for Man and
Beast,

Two Farmers Bulletins of the De-
partment of agriculture, widely dis
similar in contents, yet treating of sub
jects which have a closely-connected
relationship are the Feeding of Farm
Animals and the Principles of bread
Making, and both of them have proven
so popular that their reprinting has
been required several times.
The feeding of the animals on the
farm is matter which every farmer
is studying more or less closely, tie
more successful ones the most closely,
since it is a matter of constant expert
ment and inquiry to determine just
what is the best ration for work, meat
and dairy animals. While each mans
experience must be to a great extent
his guide, there are certain laws, the
results of wide experiments, which af-
ford much aid to the intelligent feeder
and these are summarized in the bulle-
tin mentioned-Farmers' Bulletin %.
What is known as balanced ration
is always the thing to be attained.
Food is divided into two general
classes; fat and heat producing,

And this calls to mind practical il
lustration of what a good thing it is,
what a splendid thing to start in
growing something in your back yard,
If you have nothing. bigger. For l
have in mind two people, a young
man and his wife, who started their
married life in a rented city house
with back yard 1S feet wide and
containing about one-fortieth of an
acre. They had lived in the city all
their lives and knew nothing of the
wonders of plant and animal produc-
tion.- But they commenced at once
to use their ground. They planted
radishes and lettuce and some flow
lers and trained tomatoes against the
fence, and they set hen. Their fail
ures and interesting experiences dur
ing the two years they lived thus
would fill a volume. But the great re-
suit was that before the end of the
first year, they who had never lived
outside their four walls, felt terribly
confined. They longed to get out and
have enough land to grow more
things, to make a genuine garden and
to nurture and rear and reap the
things which they ate. And so they
moved into the country, hardly the
real country yet; but they bought
half an acre just beyond the city out

supplied the animal in the proper pro-
portion. If there is preponderance
of either, the ration is unbalanced.
Both of these bulletins can be OBJ
tained free through members of con-
gress or senator's, or by writing to
the Secretary of Agriculture at Wash
ington.
Corn, for instance, is a food rich in
carbohydrates and should be "bal-
anced" by a portion of some nitroge-
nous food such as barley, bran, cow
peas or others of the legumes. A pc
rusal of this bulletin will give the
reader a very clear understanding of
the value of food for animals.

into the question of what is balanced
ration, but for human food. AS corn

food for animals, so corn bread is a
one-sided diet for man and while it
produces fat and energy or fuel for
the body does not tend to give him
the same capacity for endurance that

BEAUTIFYING RURAL HOMES.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL,

The Englishman lives in a house
which in all probability his father and
his forefathers have lived in for
dozen generations. Even where the
house is not owned by the resident,
the preferential right descends from
father to son to rent and occupy it.
It is true home.
Americans are strongly imbued
with the idea of owning homes,
houses with accompanying plots of
land; but as a rule Americans are all
too careless, at the same time, about
creating a bit of scenery or making
the home such an attractive abode as
will cause the traveller to pause a
moment and exclam: "What a pretty
little place"
In the first instance where his Eng
lish cousin, or the English landlord
erects a stone house, at an advanced
cost doubtless, but more than evened
up in a few years by repainting and
repairing, the American throws togeth-

"Ah," said the man, "if we had only
mad the advantages when we were
young which our children have here,
there would have been a lot more in
life for u.s.
And SO it is everywhere. 1t matters
little, If you live in a brown stone
front with the brick pavement direct
ly under your window, whether you
have plain or carved window sill,
but it does matter whether your front
or back yard is well kept and well
fenced and is prettily decorated with
plants and vines, and whether, if you
have more ground, it is poor, un-
attractive plot, or instead is a thing
of beauty and joy, not only to you
but to all who see it.
How many men you run across
who have been lawfully busy" but
are going to "fix up" their places.
They seldom get fixed. Before they
get fixed up with the little things
home should have, they need fixing in
earnest-they are old places.
If as people we could become ed
ucated to the idea of greater perma-
nency in our mode of living, of build
ing and improving for our future
years, or doing something with the
idea in mind that we would not have
to redo it in ten or fifteen years
hence, the average American home
would have a far more substantial,
comfortable and attractive appear

They at once planted a garden

fifty chickens.

berry in itself comes very near being
a balanced ration. If it is robbed of
its gluten, which lies next to the skin,
it is no longer complete food. Pota-
toes are extremely one-sided and
should be eaten in connection with
some nitrogenous food, such as lean
meat or beans, which, however, if
eaten alone would afford the system
too much nitrogen. This bulletin,
which is written by woman, also dis
cusses the practical side of bread max
ing and can probably be read with
benefit by any housewife.

The train was moving around the
curve when flanEe of one of the
wheels broke and the car was derailed
dragging others with it. The air brakes
were set. the hose parting, and the
sudden setting OF the brakes caused

cars in the center of the train remain
