Lawns For the Farms.

Why should not farm houses be
surrounded by well kept lawns? OF
late years farmers are taking more
Interest in their home surroundings
than they did a decade or two ago.
Many a farm house nowadays Is
adorned by a neatly kept lawn and
the only fault that can. be found is
that there are not more attractive
farm homes 1t was, until recently,
the practice to have barns for the
care Of live, stock much more COM
Portable and attractive than The
dwelling house Of the family. In or
der to have a nice lawn it is not
necessary to attempt, extensive land
scape gardening. The life of a lawn
Is the mower, and the lawn must be
moved because it kills out the weeds
and stimulates the growth of the
grass. If there are not. already old
forest trees on the home place, some
variety OF. trees should he set out,
the kind depending upon the lati-
tude and climatic conditions. Fruit
trees. may be- adVantageously raised
on the country lawn, and they win
serve two purposes, as they furnish
both. shade and. fruit, The lawn
should have few walks with flower
beds and shrubs to make it more at
tractive. There are many kinds of
roses and shrubs that can be grown
almost anywhere. During the win
ter months plans may be made for
the laying out of the2ldwn and for
the.planting Of the flowers. ~

THE RELIGlO-MEDICAL

DR., Allan McLane Hamilton con-
tributes an article to the North Amer
lean Review on 1.-THE Religlo-Medical
Movement" In this article DR.. Ham
ilton treats specially of the Emman-
uel Movement, which derives it's
name from the Emmanuel Church in
Boston, where an effort was recently
initiated to employ psycho-therapy in
the cure of certain classes of disor-
ders. Dr.. Hamilton raises a warning
voice against the danger involved in
employing the force of suggestion in
the treatment of patients, unless this
is done under the direction Of compe-
tent physicians. He deprecates the
growing neglect of the family physi-
cian
Meanwhile, by the dlsloyal and
thoughtless ones the old family ply
stefan is neglected and forgotten 1t
is he who has brought the children
and grandchildren into the world,
and whose timely and sensible advice
has for years averted impending trou-
BILE, united divided families and pre-
vented disgrace. His faithful watch
fulness and alertness have warded off
the incursions of disease from with
out, and, finally, the inevitable exit
has through his minlstrations been a
painless and happy one. This does
not seem to count in these unquiet
days. The dramatic adjurations and
reiterations Of the peripatetic DOCTOR
cleric have far more influence with
some than his conservative and sim
pie methods, which, however, always
win in the end Obsessed by the en-
phatic assurances of the mind heal
ers, they declare with Mr. Dooley: I
believe anything at all II We tell 1t to
me aften enough Repetition says
Davenport, is one of the surest means
of getting an idea into the mind of a
crowd, as well as of the child or Of

the river and harbor act OF March g.
1909, provided tor the examination of
the Pend Oreille river, from Newport to
Metaline, and that he expects to arrive
here and begin the examination about
April IA.
This examination is probably for use
for the purpose of securing additional
appropriations :or the improvement of
the river.
The recent rains and warm weather
has caused the snow in the mountains
to begin melting and as consequence
the river has raisec about eight inches
This is welcome news to the steamboat
