securing an attractive landscape effect,
deserve special consideration.
"A well thought out plan is the first
requisite to get these results, as in
the absence of definite scheme seri-
Gus mistakes are likely to be made.
This plan should include the location
Of buildings, drives. walks, trees,
shrubbery, and every other feature
which contributes either to the con-
vcnience or Ornamentation Of the place.
1t should be developed with the
larger relationships always in mind.
The location of the house and farm
buildings is the first consideration.
Even though it happens that some or
I'LL of these are already on the ground,
4 plan for their location is important.
New farm homes are erected to sup
plant old ones and other new farm
structures are added, which make prac-
ticable a general consideration of the
entire building scheme. Material i'm

tarmstead by a readjustment as new
buildings are put up. though the best
results are obtained where things are
planned right from the start
