THE FARMERS HOME.

The home of the farmer should be
the place which is of the most inter.
est to him, and his highest aim should
be to make it interesting to others,
and this he can only do by making il
appear like home. We should make
the home ornamental and attractive,
in other words, Have a desire for the
beautiful" as the saying is. Have a
home that you may be proud of, and
one which you are not ashamed to call
your own. Plant trees and vines in
abundance; there is little danger OF
having too many. Keep the rubbish
cleaned up and everything else in pro-
portion. Keep an eye upon the object
you have in view, and ever work for
that point and do not stop short of it
| do not know what would speak bet,
ter for man than an attractive home,
no matter whether he lives in the
city or upon the farm, and what can
man have that he should take more
pride in making SO? We should
make our homes attractive by plant
ing some of the many kinds of shrub
berry and flowers There are so many
varieties that sometimes we are at
loss to know what to plant. The only
rule for this is to plant the kind we
like and that will grow in our location
If we have only a small IvC, and are
crowded for room, We can plant trees
which will pay us profit. AS for me,
think some fruit trees make very
fine shrubbery. l hardly think that
any farmer is so crowded but that he
could find room for ornamental trees
and flowers if he wants them. I only
spoke of this in reference to the per-
son in town who has only 4 small lot.
who might accidentally happen to read
this. What looks more beautiful than

loaded with delicious fruit? Next we
can make the home attractive by max
ing some improvements each year.
Keep up the fences, remodel the build
ings and make the whole appear as II
it were a place fine enough for a
king. We farmers cannot afford to let
our farms go to ruin. Sometimes
wher people pass on the road, if it
happens they do not see anyone, 1t IS
hard for them to tell whether anybody
lives there or not. BY all means keep
up the appearance of the home in
some way. and do not be satisfied ur-
til you have done your best-and then
enjoy it.

NAMES FOR FARMS.

We wish that every farm had
name. This is not a matter of senti-
ment but is strictly business. The
man whose farm is known by name is
certain to take greater interest in
it's products and to conduct all of his
operations on a better plan. On
every place there is certain to be
some popularity that will suggest
name. A spring of pure water,
grove of oak or maple trees or some
thing else of similar nature will
give it local flavor. Then plant its
name on the end of the barn facing
the road. Let it be where every pass
erby can see it. Your farm will then
soon become known far and wide and
will aid you in a thousand ways. Be-
sides, how much more dignifiei it is
to be spoken of as the proprietor of
Oak Grove farm than to be alluded to
as Jim Jones. BY all means name
your farm and it will make you a bet
ter farmer.

THE BEST TIME FOR PLANTING

Currants are about the cheapest
and easiest crop of fruit to produce,

they are Indispensable. when grown
between plum, pear. peach, cherry and
ounce trees. They can be grown in
an orchard of any OF these fruits with
out retarding or injuring the trees.
When currants are fruited in this way
it is merely question of more manure
or fertilizer. Every intelligent fruit
grower will understand this at once
Under this system of intensive garden
ing you have a nice income from your
currants, while your fruit trees are de-
veioping and getting ready for fruit
ing.
1t depends entirely upon yourself as
to how long these bushes will bear
large, marketable fruit.
No matter how great a sacrifice it
may seem. you should remove two
thirds of the new wood each season.
Failing to do this. you will soon have
a lot of overgrown bushes on your
hands, and the fruit will dwndle in
size and be imperfect in many ways.
On the other hand. if you prune judi
ciously, spray as often as is neces-
sary. manure well and cultivate thor
oughly, you can keep your plantation
of currants in perfect order for at
least ten years and one year with an
other. you will be well recompensed
for your investment and labor

Fix it in mind that it pays to have
the stock comfortable, to say nothing

Milking should not onls be done

should be no noise whatever, unless

ing mixer is paid an extra price in
Switzerland.
Frosted grass is not a good thing
for colts, nor is there much virtue in
it for any stock. If the cattle remain
on pasture after hard frosts come. see
that they have something beside the
grass to eat.
If farmer has not the time to train
colt himself. competent man can
be found to do it, who can in few
weeks have colt so trained that
buyer can see at once what qualities
it possesses. An outlay will be more
than covered in the price.

fact that it is not merely the form nor
color nor condition which determines
the price which animals will command.

Every now and then references are
made in the papers to the prevalence
of insanity in country homes. II Is
argued that the isolated lives which
the farmers and their wives live con-
duce to such results. 1t is claimed
that the farmers wives are more prone
to become thus affected than the
husbands. This question has been ID:

that the proportion of inmates of
