It was mothers own idea. Right
~, she said that a woman should
have pleasing things to look at
while doing her work and that the
beauty of the flowers, and vines,
and trees were an inspiration and
a comfort during the long summer
days.
It is an unpleasant truth that
more back yards Of farmhouses
suffer from neglect than those Of
the cities.
People of the towns, who have
few opportunities for the cultiva-
ton Of aoVsfs and vines satisfy
their hunger Is, such things as

Of .perennials jqdjs;ously selected,
the work of caring for yard OF
this kind is very little. An hour now
and then i nthe early spring spent
in trimming, spraying and cultiva-

them in fine condition, and render
the dirty, despised back yard a

In this rocky land nothing is vast

ers are faithfully CLEANED by the
bees for the nectar and while the
colonies average less than 50
pounds apiece, it represents almost
entirely a surplus without extra
labor aggregating s., $780, 90 annual

from two to ten swarms with al
most as little expenditure. Figure
out for yourself how much we lose
by not doing it.

SORREL ACIDITY OF SOu
AND LEGUMES.

We are often told that a g-ov.,
of sorrel is an indication OF an
hausted soil and yet we see so--eI
growing upon the most paris i
the farm.
Once | remember a he.,,'
growth Of sorrel growing in a field
which was by no means an uufer-
tile field.
It had been under cultivation iat
a few years, vas naturally a ier,ilc
soil which grew heavy crops If
corn, wheat or any crop grow IN
the locality.
The rank sorrel was at the in
of the field where the sheep Went -
lay and was much the richest SOL
in the field.
Then we are told that a growth
Of sorrel is an indication Of sol
acidity, that clover Will not succeed
in an acid soil and yet, | have seen
clover and sorrel growing together.
We have a field which has been
manured and fertilized for several
years. It is in timothy and clover
now and still sorrel fourishes in
some Of the most fertile parts OF
the fields.
The field is rich enough to grow
50 to 90 bushels of corr to TN acre
without manuring.
The sorrel will grow On moor
land and it will also grow on fertile
land if the seed gets started
on it.
The acidity Of the plant IS, 10 ny
mind, no indication Of the atidity
Of the soil on which it grows.
The same soil will grow both sweet
and sour apples according 70 the
variety planted.
| fail to see any one arguing that
a soil is acid because the sour apple
will flourish In it.-A. ]. Legg, w.

DRYING FOR
STOCK.

There comes from Prussia a
process for the desiccation of pota-
toes which promises to become a
dominant factor in the potato IN
dustry. Though confined to stock
feeding thus far, it is not a wild
prediction that the process MAY, II
time, extend to the preparation Of
human food.
AS a saving Of freight by COM
pressing to almost o~ne-fourth Of is
original size, comes one Of the adj
vantages. Those accustomed to
buying fodder will appreciate the
oheapness of the tubers.
he potatoes are crushed and all
possible moisture removed BY both
mechanical and atmospheric pres
sure. They are then passed to the
drley, a cylindrical chamber with a
revolving drum in ten divisions.
AS 1t passes through these TIC
cesslvely, a pronged axis crumbles
the dried cakes into grains and the
finished product is a sort Of meal
1t IS SAID to resemble fresh bread IN
OdOr and taste.
Fr,m the liquor removed pure a.
bumen is obtained, SO there IS
really little waste, besides placing il
n a convenient form and safe IRON
rot.

front yard to make a show for the
passer-by and allow the back
yard TO grow up in weeds, tin cans,
slop-barrels and other uncightly
and unsavory objects.
As the woman on the farm
spends fully one-half Of her time in
the kitchen, why shouldn't she have
flowers and vines and beautiful
growing things in the back yard
upon which she can rest her hungry
eyes?
The backyard garden al be
maintained without loss of any of
the beauty Of the front yard. The
bulbs may be separated, slips cut
from the flowers and vines and
transplanted to the rear of the
house, making the back yard a
thing of beauty and a JOY to the
tired worker, instead Of the dis
gushing and disheartening sight it
usually is.
On our own farm home the lawn,
which stretched 100 feet from the
house to the road, a along both
sides of the house and met at the
back in a beautiful, slopulg sward
of green which ran down to the
garden 100 feet to the rear.
The back porch was linked to
the garden by a broad path, made
by the boys from sand and coarse
gravel hauled fro mthe creek. edged
with larger stones and packed tight
and kept level with the hoe and
rake. The backyard lawn was
never marred by hower-beds of
~grotesque shape filled with flowers
whose colors fought fercely among
themselves. The back porch which
connected with the wash-house by
an arbor Of grape-vines, was cover
ed with climbing roses and honey
suckle, while the wash-house itself
was hidden in a mass of wistaria.
From the wash-house door to the
