built a number Of years ago, is still in
excellent condition, having been well
cared for. The front yard has some of
the finest, most stately evergreen trees
Ito be found in all the county. They
Iare well proportioned, tall, kept trim
med a suitable distance from the ground
land the fine blue grass is permitted
plenty of sunlight, and yet has s,iffi-

lone of the noticeable features on this
farm is the large number of bird hous-
es--in the trees, on posts and in every
conceivable corner one finds bird hous-
es for every kind OF bird that inhabits
this climate, and the music made by
the song birds is delightful and one may
spend hours watching the birds in the
care of their homes. Edward Tamm
keeps the Chester White breed of hogs
! and he hassquite a large number at this
time, having in the neighborhood of
| 100. spring shoats. In cattle he keeps
the Aberdeens, and they make fine
| appearance out in the pasture where
| the grass Is knee high. A new cattle
barn was erected on this place last fall.
and this together with numerous other
buildings adds to the facilities for hous-
ing the livestock. Mrs. 'ramm and her
daughter have many chickens, ducks
and geese; the chickens are Of the
| Rhode Island Red strain. From our
short visit at this home we are lead to
believe it would be delightful place
to spend week or so as an outing. -

Iowa farmers whose fences are plas-
tered with signs of all kinds. some lur-
id, some weatherbeaten, NEST of them
dilapitated, will be interested in learn
| ing that those signs have no rights
Ialong public highways. Recently the
Cerro Gordo county supervisors deter,
mined to eliminate the signs from their
county highways, If possible, and they
asked the attorney generals office for
an opinion as to their rights. The at
torncy general said in effect that the
signs had no rights and could be re-
moved by the supervisors. So notice
has been given to all sign advertisers
to remove them within thirty days. If
that is not done, the highway patrol
men will be directed to remove them.
1t is, the general opinion of advertising
men that highway sign advertising is
generally much less effective than
newspaper advertising.
