Beautify the Farm Home.

Every farm home should have a
lawn regardless of the size of the
farm and of the dwelling. There ;
no more enjoyable place to live than
in comfortable farm home, which
is snugly surrounded by beautiful
lawn and shade trees. A pretty lawn
and shade trees are necessary luxu-
ries within the reach of every farm
er. The cost for trees, plants and
grass seed is comparatively nothfns,
while the benefits and pleasure to be
derived are considerable. If farm
homes and farm life were more at
tractive and pleasant, there would be
less trouble encountered about keep
ing the children on the farm. More
over, pleasant surroundings have an
uplifting effect upon character, es-
pecially those of immature persons.
A farm house may appear small and
uninviting in treeless yard, but IL
1t were to be surrounded by a lawn,
few ornamental or fruit trees, there
would be decided change for the
better and the same place would be
made to appear cozy and cheerful
And it only takes few trees and
some grass to make the change.
Those who already have lawns and, =,
perchance some shade trees, should
endeavor to make the lawn still more
beautiful. Provide better trees and
more of them if there is plenty of
room. Replace those old cottonwood
and soft maple trees with better and
more beautiful ones. There is moth
ing better for both landscape effect
and windbreak purposes than hardy
varieties of evergreen spruce, pine
and fir. Many farm has tidy and
comfortable appearance because such
trees are set wide apart in the lawn
and associated with arbor vitae
hedges that are properly trimmed
and cared for. Fine Towering and
foliage shrubs are cheap and plenti-
full these days and should have a
place around every farm home. But
1t is by no means necessary or de-
sirable to crowd tine lawn with trees
and shubbery; indeed one of the first
principles of correct landscape gar
dening is to reserve a wide expanse
of lawn, placing the shrubbery main
ly in masses in corners.
After trees have been set out in
the lawn, the matter should not stop
there. The highways would look
much better il the owners of the
farms would set out some good trees
along the roadside. OF course they
should not be set so close together
that they would shade and sap the
fields too much for the good of the
crops. But row Of hard maple, elm
or black walnut trees, set at regular.
intervals, IS valuable addition to
every farm. And besides improv-
ing appearances, the trees may be
utilized sometimes for wire string

Change Of Date Of Sale

All parties interested in the
sale of Saratoga property for de-
linquent taxes will note hat the
sale has deem postponed to the q
dav of September, the place
changed to the front door of the
court house in Rawlins. The law
concerning the collection of de-
linqueht taxes is lame in several
particulars, one being that all
property sold for delinquent taxes
shall be sold at the court house.
This compels the town treasurer
to go to the county seat to sell
property for the taxes. The legis-
lature will take this matter up
when it meets some Is mouths
hence, and remedy it, but until
that time we shall have to proceed

through the town is worth ten
millions of dollars is startling and
it will take some time and thought
to appreciate just what that means.
Saratoga has every advantage
it seems that a town could possibly
have-an abundance of irrigation
water, unlimited quantities of
health restoring water, a location
that cannot be excelled, scenery
that is unsurpassed and with a
little effort can bring forward al
most everything that is attractive
to the investor or pleasure seeker.
After good agricultural surround
ings the next to be most desired is
a big monthly pay roll. This
Saratoga ought to have and no
doubt could get. To begin with
negotiations ought to be opened
with the Fort Steele enterprise
and an effort made to have the
box factory moved. 1t might take
a bonus but would be worth all it
cost and would be an excellent
starter. This ought to be taken
advantage of in every way and
this is one of the advantages it af-
fords. 1t would be an eye opener
and point out the way for other
enterprises. With a good agricul-
tural country producing every
thing possible, a few thousand
working men in industries in the
city and an excellent mining dis
trict only a little ways distant to
consume the product of the farm
with the added advantages afford
ed for both pleasure and health
seekers, no town in the state
equals Saratoga for attractiveness.
These matters taken up with
well directed effort it would seem
that nothing is impossible. But,
as has been pointed out, much de-
ponds on Saratoga herself. Her
citizens have the future in their
own hands to make it what they
will.-Rawlins Republican.
