Larger Homestead Bill.

A bill to provide for the opening to
homestead entry of "stock raising
lands" in the public domain was re-
ported to tHe house by the public
lands committee. 1t was agreed upon
after conferences between the house
and senate members and officials of
the interior department.. The
measure would authorize the secre-
tary of the interior to designate as
subject to entry in tracts of not more
than GAO acres Glands, the surface
of which is, in his opinion, chiefly
valuable for grazing or raising forage
crops, and which in his opinion, do
not contain merchantable timber and
are not susceptible Of irrigation from
any known source of water supply"
Entrants in order to perfect title
would be required to make perma-
nent improvements on the land tend
ing to increase it's value for stock
raising purposes amounting to at
least $l.25 all acre.

Planting Home and School
Grounds.

1t is remarkable how much cheap
and simple materials, in connection
with just little planning and labor,
will do in the way of making home
and school grounds more livable and
attractive. AS most people only have
the opportunity of seeing the outside
of a home, the nature and character
of the people living there will be
judged far more by what is seen out
side of the house than by what may
be within. The problem is also
worth considering from the stand
point Of keeping the boy and girl in
terested in the home. From the
mere standpoint of dollars and cents
the home surroundings become inn
portant. Nothing will add more to
the value of property than neat, well
planted and well-cared-for grounds.
