A HOmeeron Garden.

The Homecroft Movement Is grow
ing In strength and many leading
newspapers are editorially advocating
the idea that every family, though
living in the city, ought to have a
garden. A reader OF Maxwell =
HOMEMAKER MAGAZINE, In
Westbranch, Iowa, sends us the fol-
lowing editorial clipped from the Des
Moines Daily News, which is so fully
in harmony with what this magazine
stands for that we take pleasure in
reproducing the same. The editor or
the News says:
A little garden, II properly cared
for. will save the city dweller many a
dollar.
But that is by no means the chiefest
good. Even II he has more money
than he knows what TO do with he
will still find rich profit I'm welding

the rarest pleasure comes from follow
ing the primal instincts of nature.
1t is not alone the plants and flowers
we long for.
An inner something impels LIS to put
our hands at work in the earth, TO
bathe our bodies In the sunshine and
TO open our souls In devotion to things
that are not gross, but sweet aud
pure.
To be pitied is man who does
not drink In with delight T. fragrance

does not learn lesson from the noise

nature that are constantly going on

1t may be only five feet square. but
he can plant IL i'm green peas, succulent
onions. radishes or lettuce, and still
