ures seem out of place and insignifi-
cant by those old houses so dear to
Americans.
They do not need those fences,
but associations unanimously agree
they should be left for time to crum-
BILE to the ground, and that the ruins
shall be sacred to future generations.
There was time when We needed
fences here in Blackfoot, but it is
passing. They have no historical
value and were not built for perman-
ence. 1t takes quite brave person
to withstand the present sentiment
against fences to the extent of erect
ing a new one. The need of fences
grows less and less each year, and
Iif we could eliminate the personal
element sufficiently to enable us to
phone the marshall when stray horses
and cows come our way, we would
materially hasten the day when
fences would be out of consideration
Then We should have a dog tax suf-
ficiently high TODD away with worth
less ours. How much more attractive
the Millick Home is since the fence
was removed, and how much more
spacious the grounds about Mrs. Ed
redge's corner since she made the
like change. What an added attrac-
ton it would be if there were no
alley distractions clear through to
the well-kept back door of the Patrie
Home. l see the Powers home from
my door, and its attractions are
doubled since the fence disappeared.
And so you may pass through the
entire town noting improvements
where fences are removed.
The old city of Kingston, N. Y,
was always dear to me, but when l
returned after an absence of ten
years to find practically all the fences
gone, both front and back, those
beautiful greenswards with only
well-kept driveway or low, even
hedge marking the boundary line of
individuals, it became a beautiful
city. Frequently one driveway does
for two families.
If we have outgrown the need of
a street fence, why do we want them
through the alleys and around the
back door? And why were they ever
built high and tight and every knot
hole plugged or covered with another
board? We do not need to defend
more in the rear of our
homes than at the front, do we? |
And who would erect such hideous
thing before their door? We have

lsque. They were located thus for
two reasons. First, the many differ.
ent tribes warred SO much, If wife and
children were in the fortified hillside
villages, they were, considered safe
from the enemy while the men went
to fertile valleys below to pillow and
reap, Again, the valleys were small,
the inhabitants numerous, and valu-
able space was thus saved for culti-
vation. These cities had the old time
wall of defense around them, but no
fences or individual walls inside.
Travellers do not forget to mention
this absence of individual fences, so
you see how favorably the arrange
ment impresses the visitor.
The old Quaker churches of Phila-
delphia are still surrounded by the
high brick wall that was necessary
as defense in early days. The only
one disturbed is the one where Frank
lin is buried. 1t necessitated so many
extra attendants to let in and look
after visitors who wished to visit his
grave, that after long, deliberate con-
sideration it was de ided wise as the
grave is near the wall to make an
opening and insert section of high,
gate-like iron fencing that left the
grave in full view from the street
One may still go inside, however, at
certain hours. No one thinks of OBJ
jecting to the brick wall in Philadel-
phia; one would as SOON think of the
city without Independence Hall, the
Liberty Bell and the Betsy Ross
House as those dear, almost sacred
walls, for they are part of the city

importance of areas of fertile land,
well cultivated and housing intelli
gent, contented, healthy families can
not be over estimated as an essentia
adjunct to our progress.
We need our agricultural territory

being made productive, either by The
present tenants or new progressive
settlers.
We need to have our Carey lands

thoughtfully concerned, about the
settlers in the Lost River Country, for
both tracts will be closely related to
us in business, social and educational
matters. Our county officials should
see to it that they have good we'll
kept roads, and the best primary
schools up to and including the eighth
grade, good bridges and friendly en-
couragement and cooperation. We
should be on friendly terms with all
suburban towns by providing healthy
central amusements, the best of high
er educations, ideal surroundings and
a pure moral atmosphere.
With the end in view of making
Blackfoot an educational center, we
could not put onr time, talent and

How to Improve TIT Eyssoe The BsI Yrd 81

Before entering directly into a dis.
cussion of the back yard problem, lei
us consider for moment the building
Of towns and cities.
The large metropolis, the seaport
town, railroad centers, and mining
and manufacturing towns, are so far
removed from our conditions, it is
necessary to give them only passing
glance.
The large metropolis because of its
peculiar location is made the center
Of things. Everything and everybody
flock to the metropolis. The seaport
town, for reasons too well known to
mention, harbors good, bad and in
different, with the latter predomin-
ating. If you doubt this think of
the struggles of San Francisco.
The pictures of mining towns flash
through your mind at mention of the
name. The manufacturing town brings
an element difficult to control, and
while the railroad officials have ma
terially improved conditions among
their employees in recent years by
enacting rigid rules in regard to in
toxicating liquors, regular hours and
morality, there are number of rea-
sons why it is difficult to create and
maintain a healthy atmosphere about
them.
We have now left the university
towns or seats of learning, legislative
cities and agricultural towns.
Seats of learning are ideal places
to live, culture is always clean and
attractive. Legislative halls and jul
dicial chambers add dignity to the
town in which they are located, while
agricultural towns furnish the clean,
pure, live-near-nature atmosphere.
Neither of these towns furnishes
attractions to. the shrewd, money
grabbing. commercial man, except as
a place of residence, desirable to live
and bring up his children in, and he
is usually willing to spend money
freely for the town because it adds
to the comfort and satisfaction of
his family.
We are located in an agricultural
center. We have the judicial cham
bers, and are progressing nicely with
educational work. 1t remains with
us absolutely to develop an ideal town
containing culture, refinement, good
living and civic beauty
The man behind the counter in the
city is not the man of prime import
ance, for he is preceded by the man
behind the hoe in the country The

sun and from view. 1t is fitting,
therefore, that those erecting new
homes should build as soon as pos
sible garden house OF the sane
material as the house with design
running on the same lines. Another
difficulty that cannot be entirely over
come is the problem of an array of
tubs, boilers, benches, buckets, etc.,
hanging against the house or scatter
ed about promiscuously in the rear.
There is room and place for improve
ment, however, for the thoughtful
person. The old-time housekeeper
who carded and spun, wove, made
candles and maple sugar, methiglen
and I've soap, never had backyard
that looked like ours does today.
The garbarge we have with us al
ways and under existing conditions it
is difficult to apply cure. Some say
burn 1t in the range or stove, but
we find that impractical at Sagehurst
with d family of three and good-siz-
ed range. How much moro so is it for
the greater number of our housewives
who have large yegetable-eating fam
lilies and many of them small cooking
stoves with coal bill that is always
too high to use extra heat to evap-
crate the moisture from garbage. The
odorous, dirty, fy-drawing slop buck
ct is both unsightly and unsanitary,
even though somebody comes for the
contents regularly. An ideal way
would be for each house to be sup
piled with two sanitary receptacles.
And the city have them removed, COW
cred, emptied, cleaned and returned
when the other one is taken away.
1t is estimated that the garbage of
cities like New York and Chicago, is
worth fortunes each year as fertil-
izer. The day will come soon when
some enterprising truck gardener
owning few acres near town VIII
be glad to utilize the rakings of leaves
and the garbage of our town to en-
rich his soil and make it more pro-
ductive by supplying the positively
necessary organic matter or humus
found only in decaying vegetable mat
ter. We are very extravagant to
burn leaves, besides enduring the pen
etrating odor for about a month in
every spring when the air otherwise
would be so exhilirating and salub-
'ious.
After making a number of trials
in regard to the disposal of garbage
n our own home, we have adopted

but one reason for this back-dool
monstrosity. 1t is erected to hide OF
conceal something unsightly. A fine
clean COW is an attraction, everybody
loves a well-kept horse, and aneat.
looking woodpile at present prices
is luxury that one should be glad tc
show off. There is nothing wrong
about pile of ashes il it is the best
one can do. But is the wood neatly
piled? And are the ashes all in
one pile? Is the coal all in one place
or is 1t scattered all over the prem
ises? How many dilapidated boxes
crates, barrels, boards, brush heaps
and junk too numerous to mention
are scattered about that could be
made ready to burn, and neatly stack
ed or piled in place convenient for
the kitchen. Then there are rags
old cast-off garments that have SEEM
ingly been given toss from the door
or window and left to mildew and
rot. In the leather line we have old
boots and shoes, straps and buggy
tops, in fact almost anything that
may be called for. From one to
three slop buckets are in evidence,
the mop and an old broom or so are
flung over the limb of a tree that
is doing it's best to lend cheerful
attitude. This is only part of the
things we have absolutely no excuse
for allowing to accumulate at our
back door. There are some other
things that we cannot remedy en-
tirely but improve materially. Out
houses are one of them. These are
almost a necessity where living quar-
tiers are small, and but few of the
older homes are so constructed that
they could be dispensed with entirely.
But they could be lessened in num-
Der, well repaired, the door put on
its hinges and closed, and given
coat of whitewash outside and in.
New homes can be so constructed
that everything is kept under one
roof in a perfectly sanitary condition,
but even then if one does gardening,
or wishes to keep a few fine fowls,
an outside building is necessary. In
gardening, the busy man wants his
;ools at hand so he can pick them up
'eadily for half hour, then there is
always the wheelbarrow, the lawn
garden shoes, irrigating rub
,ers and rubber hose, pots, boxes
Ind perhaps tin cans that are used
n transplanting, with baskets of pull
yerized soil, trowels and diggers that
should be kept under cover from the

THE SOAP-NUT TREE.
A New Tree for the Southwest-Yields $500 to $500 Per Year Per
 Acre Of Trees.
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir-There came into Florida from China a tree called the soap nut tree. t was planted, flourished and promises to become a most profitable revenue producer. The tree begins to bear af- ter six years. Thirty or, forty are planted to the acre and the returns from the seed crop amount to as much as $500 per acre annually.
 The tree grows to a height of fifty feet The wood is admirably adapted to high grade furniture making, being nard and close grained ana polishes well.
 The hull of the soap nut when used in water produces a perfect father and is highly cleansing. Hence the name Of soap nut.
 About two hundred pounds of nuts is an average yield from a single tree. There is more demand today. in carload lots. for these nuts than can be fur nished. The hull supplies a dentifrice and hairwash of surpassing value. The oil from the kernel of the nut is far superior to either olive or cot ton seed oil, and in fact can not be sur passed by the best imported olive oil for salads. etc. The yield of oil is twice that from the olive bulk for bulk. As ! the tree requires no care the yield of 1 oil makes it much cheaper than that 1 from the cottonseed. No shortening in ! the kitchen equals it.
 The meal from the pressed kernel is | an invaluable chicken food and the l leaves from the tree prove an excellent fodder for cattle
 This is a tree that should get a strong foothold throughout the south west They are doing well in Florida and will become an important industry in time. Seeds of this tree can be had for the cost of postage, a cent per ounce, Ten or twenty cents forwarded to T. Moulie, JacksOnville, Florida, will bring back as many ounces of seed enough to set out an acre or two of trees. Instructions as to planting come with the seeds. These trees are already started in California.
 Yours very truly.

PHOENIX ID GLOBE
 IND VICE VERSA
A Coincident and Active Movement Of
 Dogs.

Deputy Sheriff Adams returned yes terday morning from Globe With two men in a boat to say nothing of the dog The men were Dick Purcell. a lineman and an individual of French descent; one FlanniEan charged with the theft of valuable collie. the prop erty of Officer Leo Troutman.
 Both Purcell and Flannigan assert their innocence of any larcenous intcn- ton though they have not enlarged up- on the line of defense to be pursued. To those who never look beneath the surface appearances are against them. The dog himself is an exhibit hard to get over. Captious jurymen might not be satisfied with a simple statement that it was only a coincidence that they and the dog should have accidentally left Phoenix at the same time and by an accident have arrived in Globe at the same time.
 But it will probably be explained to the jury that the dog formed an affec- ton for them against their earnest pro- tests and they did not have the heart to drive him back
