keeper, but 1t is excellent for late
autumn and early winter use. The
tree Is hardy and long lived, comes
into bearing young and il a reliable
cropper. The flesh is white, crisp,
tender. Juicy and slightly sweet. 1t is
decidedly aromatic and Is one Of the
best of this class for the home

he is not Obliged to live there. How
can there be a love for such a home?
Surely that Is a place that no one
will care to buy unless II is sold at
very low price.
Compare the above with an actual
case showing the desirability OF max
ing the home attractive from the
money standpoint alone. The work
was not done with the idea OF making
money. but for the satisfaction OF
having a comfortable home.
A farm about such as described was
purchased for a low price. The SOL
was good. the location good, but the
farmer did not believe in doing any
more work than was necessary. His
wife cultivated the vegetable garden
or there would have been no vegetables
for the table.
The farm consisted OF about thirty
five acres. The yard about the house
was filled with pig weeds, burdocks,
tin cans and rubbish. The fences all
needed repairs.
Every nook and corner was cleaned
up, the burdocks destroyed about the
yard and the pig weeds were cut down
anu grass grew. II was HOt q nlc
lawn. but It was neat.
The weeds were kept down over the
whole place and along the roadside.
1t was plain that a thrifty fellow lived
there,
Cherry. apple, pear, peach and plum
trees were planted. Ounces, grape
vines and small fruits such as rasp-
berries blsckberries. currants. goose
berries and Strawberries were planted.
A rhubarb and an asparagus bed were
made. English walnuts, chestnuts,
hickory, black walnut and butternuts
were planted. Gradually attractive
shade trees were set about the house
A rose bed was made and there were
flower gardens. which the women took
care of. All these expenses were fig
ured in as living expenses.
Tho work was hard and the hours
long. but II was happy home. The
evergreens were planted so as to cut
of the view OF the barns from the
house and to check the cold blasts OF
the wintry winds.
Five years after the work Of making
a home of the old farm. a city family
passed in their automobile. They had
been talking about a country home
There's just the place." the wife de-
clared. They inquired the price and
surprised the owner by taking 1t at
more than $4,000 advance over the
price he had paid. Thus his work paid
him a fair yearly profit which only
could have been made by making the
most OF the possibilities.

To Keep Chickens Mt Home.

A yard surrounded by a five foot
fence will under most conditions keep
chickens at home. II the hens show
a tendency to fly over such a fence the
flight feathers Of one wing should be
clipped. A fence made of woven wire
is preferable to fence made of board
or other material. A board should not
be used at the top of q wire fence, az
this gives the hens a visible place to
alight and tends to teach them to ny
over. The larger the yard which can
be provided the moro contented the
hens will be. It not only gives them
greater opportunity to exercise bu,
often makes It possible to maintain
sod on the yard, which Is advisable.
