Have A Real Home on Your
Farm

A Farm with an unpainted
house standing in an open field
in the glaring sunshine. with
cotton rows running up near it,
no green grass, no trees nor
shrubbery, and not a flower
blooming around it, is a place
the boys and girls of the family
will embrace the first opportuni
ty to escape from.
Especially will this be the case
with the girls if the interior of
the house corresponds with the
exterior, for much of the beauty
and comfort of the home de-
pends on the woman having a
chance to beau+ify the interior.
The farmer in such a place as l
have described may by most rig
i'd economy accumulate money,
and may get a reputation among
mis- neighbors as good farmer,
simply because he has made
some money. But he has miss
ed life, real life, and has simply
been grubbing after filthy lucre.
He has failed to make a home,
and from the old house that was
simply a shelter, the boys and
girls will leave him to himself
after awhile, and would not be
manly boys nor womanly women
if they did not. For the boys
and girls are catching the spirit
that is abroad in the South, and
will leave the old shelter and be
making real homes for them
selves.
Painting the house is not only
adding to its appearance, but is
important in adding durability
to the woodwork. A dwelling
should be painted every three
years at least.
Then make a pretty grass
lawn about the house, especially
a good sweep of grass showing
from the front windows. While
trees and shrubbery are import
ant and desirable. do not smother
the whole front with trees but
keep some open lawn there and
plant trees and shrubbery as a
framework for the lawn. In
our Southern homes we use the
porches more for shade than the
trees, and we do not want the
breeze smothered out by too
thick planting of trees.
Flowering shrubbery along
the base of the house greatly
helps the appearance of the
house itself, and with a variety
that bloom in succession from
early spring till late summer the
shrubbery can be made very at
tractive and interesting. Then
to the sides of the dwelling have
some flower beds, largely of the
hardy herbaceous plants that
come up and bloom every year
with some Of the summerflower-
ing bulbs like the old Madonna
lily and gladiolus. and on the
shady side OF the house bed of
the lily of the valley.
Then keep the grass in the
lawn good and neat with the
lawn mower and an annual top
dressing of bone meal, and do
not use it for a horse pasture.
Stock of no kind should be al
lowed on the lawn. Have a.
good pasture elsewhere, so that
there will be no temptation to
turn the horses on the lawn to
tear up the shrubbery and bite
the trees.
Then make drive to the
house that will not be used by
the farm wagons, and make this
drive of good material, rock, if

What few fielding thrills there were

FOOTBALL SQUAD
OUT AT HARVARD
Coach Leary Has Thirty
Men Out for First
Spring Practice.
By BRIGGS
Try Telegraph 20 IN. Tribune J

Cambridge. Mass, April 24.-Leo II.
Leary, who will be Harvari's grldiron
coach this year, assembled the Grim
sons football squad for spring training
on Soldiers Field to-day. The men
have been getting into trim for several
weeks. and Leary will start them al
work on plays at once. He expects 10
have some football scrimmaging by the
end of the week. Later there will be
AS much hard football as can be played
before the warm weather comes.
Captain Dadmun and Charley Coolidge
were the only former varsity men on
hand to-day, although there were plenty
of players from the first squad of last
year. Dadmun will captain one OF the
teams this spring and Coolidge will be
in charge OF the other. There were
thirty men on the field to-day, but at
least as many more are expected out
tomorrow or the next day.
Leary will be IN charge of the coach
ing, assisted by some backtield coach.
Percy Haughton says he will be unable
TO give any attention 10 the spring
work The football men have spent a
lot of time on plays and formations
this winter. and It is expected that the
squad will do much more advanced
work than has been usual for Harvard
ii its spring drill.
The nucleus of Captain Dadmun's
team will be Gardner, Thacher. Brown
and Day. Coolidge will build his team
around Sager, Taylor. Duncan and Des-
mond. the last being former Lehigh
player who would have made the var
sity here last fall had he been elig
ible.

in sight. and it is believed that, as in
