it is announced that an average OF
three or four letters are received every

way for cattle owner who is opposed

HOME SHOULD BE EXPRESSIVE
Character Of the Owner Shows in the
Architecture Of the Dwelling and
the Decorations Within.

The essential In the art of home
building is the ability to suit your own
taste-to express your own nature,
Your taste may not at all coincide with
that of your neighbor, but that is not
important. There are as many indi-
vidual expressions Of the art that is
within one as there are leaves on a
tree and there is no good reason why
the expression of the individual should
not continue In the home itself.
Imagine what a thrilling adventure
in human nature all of us might have
in the course of a day spent in making
Calls IL our neighbors and acquaint
ances only allowed their souls and
minds to express themselves in the
houses they build and furnish, says an
exchange. 1t is not hard to imagine
such an adventure, for about every one
has seen one such home. But these are
by no means frequently found.
For peoples characters do show in
their homes-in the architecture of the
dwelling, the decorations within, the
selection of the furniture, even in the
pictures and the way they are hung.
To persons who are not especially OBJ
servant this fact is as plain as the fact
that one can always detect the pres
ence OF feminine fingers in the arrange
ment OF the bric-a-brac, the flowers or
vase on the stand or the books and
magazines on the library table. The
thing is so paIpably human that it is
almost impossible not to recognize 1t.

coons and TURKEYS.


They are hunting coons In Massa-
chusetts and eating them. They are
said to be fine substitute for turkey
more than substitute. better. That
is all right-they can eat them. Our
Pilgrim Fathers can eat all the coon
they want. We will take second help
ing to turkey, declares a writer In the
Columbus State Journal. We try to
imagine the eating of coon. We can't
do it any more than we can think OF
eating cat. But hunting coons is diff
ferent. Here is the process: Take
an automobile. Put in guns, dogs, and
companion or two, and then, when
far into the country and near a for
est, unloose the dogs and send them
into the woods. Soon they start to
barking vigorously and there is q
coon. The papers tell of one party OF
four starting out after dark, returning
at midnight with nine coons. That
couldn't be done In Ohio, which is not
primitive state, like Massachusetts.
Our coon crop is gone We are sorry.
The coon is a fine animal for coon,
but not for meat. John Alden and his
merry men are welcome to it.

SEEKING SITE TO FIT HOME
Many People DO Not Stop to Think at
All of the Vast Importance OF
the Houses Setting.

Most of the people who are saving
t., build house-the sort they have
dreamed of possessing give so much
attention to the actual plans of the
dwelling that they. do not stop to think
at all of the vast Importance of the
houses setting.
They are joys and profits in site
hunting that the average home-huilder
who is willing to content himself with
the first strip of land in a desir-
able neighborhood with which his real
estate dealer confronts him never
guesses.
Obviously the average city lot Is
the fiat, treeless, 80 by 100" on
which, OF course, there is little pos
sible latitude in building. The house
must be obleng and stand on one of
its ends about in the center of the
lot, with an inconsequential margin on
either side, and a fower-trimmed
square of greene In front and rear.
There are many streets of this type in
every suburb.
But in every suburb also there are
odd corners that have been passed by
as unsuitable Like the neglected creed
beds in the farmers fields, they are
generally of odd shapes and wooded,
the hand of the "improver" having
passed them as hopeless. In rural
districts where land is rated by its
cultivatable area, these are literally
waste and can often be bought for
very little.
One of the least appreciated kind of
sites for home is the gully or draw,
Everywhere among the hills there are
places where the waters have cut Out
a bed to the rocks and a stream
splashes swiftly downward among the
trees. There are few greater outdoor
joys for, folk who like to plan things
themselves and execute them with
their own hands than the development
OF one of these spots.
If yeu have definite plan for your
house In mind before you have an idea
for the site, you should seek your site
| to fit the home. A chateau would be
out Of place where a bungalow cot
tage would be wholly at ease. A barr
might be badly misplaced on the idea
site for farmhouse.
But site hunting untrammeled b.
aught save the limits of ones imag
nation is great fun and a liberal edu
cation.
