gardens, driveways, lawns and shrub
berry should be completed in all their
details. Indeed for best results it is
well that most of this work be done
gradually though having all the time
a fixed plan in view. Land is not so
valuable that an acre or two cannot be
devoted to artificial adornment.
1t is the rule Of life to provide first
for necessities, then for comforts and
finally for pleasures. Most of our coun-
try is too new to permit of much atten-
ton being given to landscape garden
ing. The efforts of the people have
been directed to the acquiring of lands
and buildings. The illustrations given
herewith are intended to offer sugges-
lions for improving the appearance of
the farm home without any consider
able expense. The first shows a farm
home well sheltered by surrounding
trees. The space Immediately around
the house is clear to allow of circula-
ton of the air. The view from the
front of the house is unobstructed. The
second is an example Of what may be
done in planning the home grounds

information Of Bon weevil..

1t has been often noticed that in a
wooded country boil weevils appear
first IN spring along the borders Of
fields next to the woods and gradually
work inward from the edges, so that it
seems probable that in a wooded coun-
try most of them hibernate in wood
land. Around outbuildings and barns
also are found favorable places. as
there are always more or less rubbish
and protection in such situations. In
1903 more than five times as many Wee
wills were found in a piece of cotton
near the Texas State College barn,
where cotton had been grown the pre-
vious year, than were found in any
other locality in that neighborhood. 1t
is also noticeable that weevils are al
ways more numerous near gins than at
a distance from them. Unfortunately,
where much rubbish and grass are
present and where the soil remains
loose and is not packed by rains, large
numbers of the weevils winter in the
cotton fields.

Winfer Eornnn

The question of winter forage and
pasturage is one of the greatest i'm
portance in the Southern States. and
Carleton r. Ball, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, was sent by the De-
partment of Agriculture early in the
year to make an Investigation in sew
eral of the Gulf States. In his report
Mr.. Ball says. amongst other things +:
THE production of Southern hay has
been a question long under discussion.
The amount produced and the yield per
acre have both increased steadily and
encouragingly during the last few
years. On every hand it is admitted
that it is both possible and necessary
to raise all hat is needed. for home
consumption. Alfalfa, Bermuda grass,
Johnson grass, crabgrass and cowpeas
furnish an abundance Of hay of the
very best quality. This hay can be pro-
duced much more cheaply than an
equal quality can be shipped in from
Northern and Western States. With
better transportation facilities and an
increasing demand, the production will
become more and more profitable. AT
the same time, with hay raised on the
home plantations, and hence cheapIy
and readily available, larger quantities
are being used in feeding the planta-
ton stock.
