MAKE THE HOME BEAUTIFUL
Magic Transformation Wrought by
Paint and Flowers and Shrubs

"a young farmer we knew got mar
'ried last year He took his bride to a
newly built little cottage which had
been erected in an open space OF
white, bleak, glaring sand and gravel.
We chanced to pass this house one
\ day with a friend. What in the
kworld caused the fellow to build his
kouse in a place like that" was his
clamation. "That farmer will nev-
be able to make his home look like

What had changed this unattractive
place into one o. beauty which caused

1.-THE answer was plain-paint, flowers,

When the surrounding yard had
been plowed, graded, manured and

FLYERS IN DOUBLE DANGER
Wild Beasts Added to Ordinary Perils
Of the Air in Service in
East Africa.

In East Africa it was almost inn
possible to find any open ground
suitable for an airdrome. and space
had to be cleared in the dense bush
Sufficient to allow a skillfully piloted
machine to rise and land, writes
Maj. W. T.. Blake in the Wide World
Magazine. Frequently the airmen
were away from headquarters for
weeks at a time, dropping their re-
ports in message bags at headquar-
tiers and then returning to their Iairs
IN the bush. Lions and leopards at
tackled the camps and waited for
anyone who dared to move far from
the tents at night; on at least one
occasion elephants charged down
upon an airdrome and did ire
mendous damage.
A forced landing in the bush
meant almost certain death. for even
if pilot and observer survived the
crash it was highly probable that
they would lose themselves in their
efforts to return, or be killed by wild
beasts during the journey.

GIVES WIFE PROPERTY RIGHT
Measure Of Importance to Women
Likely to Become a Law IN
Saskatchewan.

Under the terms Of a bill that has
just received Its first reading in the
current session of the provincial leg
islature at Regina Saskatchewan,
no married man in saskatchewan
may sell or mortgage his residence
without his wife's consent. irrespec-
tive Of valuation.
This contemplates a much greater
degree Of protection for a wife, in
respect to her home, than was pro-
yided in the original act passed sew
eral years ago. That act provided
that no married man may sell or
mortgage his homestead without his
wife's consent and fixed a maximum
valuation of $1,800.
Homestead" under that act,
meant not only the farm home of
100 acres but also the house any
where in the province, in city, town
or village. Subsequently that act
was amended by raising the yalua-
ton limit to $4,000 on the ground
that $500 was not sufficient to pro-
tect part Of a home where the value
was greater.
Now it is proposed to remove the
valuation altogether, the condition
being created that no home may be
sold or m%ortgaged without the wife's
consent, provided it is the actual
residence.
This measure is in line with the
latitude and consideration generally
accorded to women, especially since
the war, because of their service in
the war, at home and overseas.

cALF's T MISTAKE.

Thomas Gerloch, farmer. near
Redding, Cal, is grieving over the
death Of what he asserts was the
most valuable calf in California. The
calf was permitted to roam at will
over the farm because it protected
the chickens against hawks, says
GerIoch.
Every time a hawk would flash
down from the sky to grab off a
chicken, the calf was on the lob,
ready to give battle and frequently
there were fierce fights between calf
and hawks,
One day lately Lieutenant Good
rich from San Francisco was aying
over the farm in an airplane when
his engine went dead, and he was
forced to land. The calf had been
watching the great plane. apparent
ly believing it some new sort of
hawk, bent IN a hen raid.
AS the plane landed the calf
dashed up. The propeller still was
spinning. Before Lieutenant Good
rich could leap to the ground and
chase the animal away the calf had
buttcd the machine in the nose.

FUTURE IN TREES.

A generation ago the center Of
the great lumber region lay very
near the Atlantic coast, and the
broad land was all but covered with
virgin forests. Wood Of all kinds has
been used up so much faster than it
grows that today the center Of our
region is rapidly approaching the
Pacific coast. The tree is one Of the
greatest sources of wealth in the
land, and great efforts are being
made today before it is too late to
preserve it. Many thousands of acres
all over the country are planted with
trees like any other crop.-Boys'

RECLAIMlNG THE WAR z0r!ES
Work Being Steadily Pushed in
France, Though the Task Is a
Tremendous One.

A recent examination Of the work
going steadily forward to reclaim
the French farmlands reports that
over 1000, 900 acres have been
cleared and about 100000 acres
planted, or made ready for planting.
How small a part this is Of the total
appears when one knows the extent
of what is called the "frst zone"
where the heaviest fighting went on
for four years, and forests vanished,
villages were swept away, and the
soil is so filed with metal that it
nov defes blowing. Here 1927, 500
acres Of cultivated land were de-
stroyed, and "how much of it will be
reclaimed no one can yet tell" The
Second zone" almost as large as the
first, was behind the front" and
there the preliminary work of clear
ing away the debris of war is still in
progress. The third zone" is the
area which had fallen into German
hands, nearly 100000 acres Of farm
land, much less completely de-
stroyed, but injured by neglect and
stripped of every kind of farm ma
chinery that the Germans could
carry away with them. In attacking
the tremendous task of reclamation,
the farmers have banded together by
communes, or townships.

An Accurate Corn Planter Is
One of Your Best Friends

There is a big difference
between the yield of crops
planted with an inaccurate plan
ter and one that's accurate. You
use the same amount of seed
but the difference in the crop
often amounts to as much as
five, six or seven-yes, and
more bushels per acre.
Here is a point we want you
to think over: If a planter
misses only fifteen kernels in every
100 hills, there is a loss of five bushels
per acre in the yield.
