ings and Farm Grounds, Particu-
larly the Lawn, Will Refresh the
Mind, and Drive Out "Shop."

Perchcd on the stool at the quick
lunch counter the city business man
may envy the farmer who can drop
his tools and sit down to a wholesome.
hot noon meal at home. But the ur-
banltc has usually one advantage
When he clicks the spring lock of his
office door and hies him to his home
at Newton Center, Westminster
Crosse Pointc, Forest Lake, or Con-
ira Costa, he leaves his work behind
HIM. The farmer must live close to
ms work.
Yet, it isn't entirely necessary con-
Stantly to have the ploW, the cOrntcld,
or the stable staring him in the face.
I'm pioneer days, before the advent of
labor-savlng machinery and methods
where mans work was from sunrise
to sunset, and womans work was
never done, it did not make much diff
ference, and the farm buildings were
placed where they could be closest to
the house.
Don't Talk Shop
Modern experience, however, shows
that every man wants to get away
from his work at some time in the
day. 1t is the same principle as that
which iorbidS talking "shop' during
social hours. Every woman knows
the comfort of Il nook where she can
rest without seeing the kitchen sink
or the cook stove. Many women pre-
fer TO have the dining room separate
from the Kitchen; but it is only re-
Gently that farmers have come to see
inc desirablllty of arranging their
grounds so that they can take their
after-Suppcr recreation aloof from
their workaday world. 1t does not
,,yl n,,i1,- -,
bring this about in I; measure. Some
times 1t can be done by rcarrange-
mcnt Of the smaller buildings. the pig
Sty, or the chicken coop, and often all
mat IS necessary is Il little thought
gwen TO the planting Of hedges and
other shrubbery.
The barn probably is Il fixture, con-
SidcrIng high building and moving
costs, but very often its msightlv
features can be screened with Il hedge,
wire, or lattice fence. or vines which
may be dug out Of the woods If the
earlier generation has placed that
barn directly across the road it can
at least be kept neat. One farmer,
who decided to get the maximum en-
Joymcnt out of life, even rearrangcd
the rooms of his house so that it
faced away from the road toward a
woods.
There are dozens Of things that can
ne dohc without eNtravagant expense
that will make the place more attrac-
tive for leisure hours; and with the
growing tide from the city to the
country everything which is done in
that line adds to the salability of the
place. 1t will do more 1t will pro-
VIDE inspiration, and arouse emulation

HOW TO COMBAT
JACKS IN ORCHARD
Horticultural Inspector Gives Di-
rectiOns for Keeping Rabbits
from Barking Trees
IF. E. Bailey

IF. T.. Balley)
While jack rabbits are a menace
to orchards, hay and grain fields at all
times, they become more destructive
when snow cuts off the natural food
supply. -.
Wherever possible danger from rab-
bits exists orchards -rhn,.lI-h -,,,.o-

children We're Walla Walla visitdy
last week. Mr.. Carman looked aftd
10 Tie trunk. "hsance.
In the absence of any mechanical
protection, the u. S. Biological Survey
recommends the use of a poison wash
prepared as follows: *. ..-.aH
Dissolve ounce Of strychnine (sul-
phate) in 8 quarts of boiling water.
Dissolve one-half pound of laundry
starch in 1 pint of cold water, stir
ring thoroughly. Pour the starch in
to the vessel containing the strychnine
and boil the mixture short time un-
til the starch is clear. Add 6 ounces
of glycerine and stir. When the paste
is cool enough apply 10 tree trunks
with a paint brush.
The mixture adheres well and forms
a thin coating. IF rabbits attack the
tree they will be killed before they
can seriously injure it. The wash
should not be used if live stock, espec-
tally young cattle, have access to the
orchard.
Whale oil soap made into a thick
paste and painted onto the tree trunks
also proved successful in repelling rab-
bits during the past winter in Benton
County. The soap has the advantage
of being non-poisonous and non-in-
furious to live stock. The soap does
not destroy the rabbits, it just makes
the bark of the tree distasteful to
them.
IF the rabbits are present in con-
siderable numbers it will be necessary
to place poisoned bait in addition to
protecting the trees by means of one
of the washes described above.
Never use oil, creosote, tar or other
wood preserving preparations on the
bark of fruit trees.
