BRIEF SUGGESTIONS
Yours truly,
G. BEN ROSS.

More and more farm families are
dining outdoors on porch or lawn;
make your grounds an attractive out
door room.
II the lawn is cut up with round
beds, urns, single shrubs, etc., move
them to the edge and grass over the
bare spots.
Equip the house with drip-gutters,
If possible. No plant will stand a
steady drip form the caves.
Do not cover a field stone wall with
vines, plant few, allowing spaces
for the wall to show. Similarly, in
planting hardy prennials along a
wall, plan to have the wall show in
places.
Send for Farmers Bulletin No.
1887, "Beautifying the Farmstead."
It can be secured at the farm bureau
office.
If you have a brook or pond near
the home ground. develop it as a
feature, by growing many beautiful
marsh plants, Japanese iris, cardinal
flower, etc.
Use small fruits in the landscape
scheme. Grape trellisses make good
screens or borders, and currants,
goseberries and dwarf trees can be
both practical and ornamental.
Call at the farm bureau Office and
look over their literature on garden
ing and nursery catalogs. Some are

FARMERS WIFE TELLS WHY

In response to an item on the farm
bureau page.
In regards to better buildings on
farms, we would like nice looking
homes. One reason have heard
people give for not building improve
ments that make farms look nice, is
the extra taxes that is always put on
when you try to improve your place.
We have neighbor on one side, who
has a neat house, built year later
than our own, yet there is not over
$500 difference in the cost. He owns
the same size farm. Another neigh
Dor has an old house, yet fairly good
but not snowy, an extra good granary
and machine shed. Another has an
extra large barn and small house.
Now on each of these improved
places there are improvements to
about equal prices, but only the one
place so noticeable to passers-by, and
our taxes are only about $33 more
each year. A good many people have
found these things out and would
rather not invest their money that
way. They say they carry just as
high insurance on their property as
the people do that have improved
places and / know this to be fact.
What encouragement does the people
have along that line. The more the
farms are improved with buildings,
the more the prices jump up that

PAINTINGS FOR
THE PIONEER HOME
F. A. JUST

A few trees, planted now in ma
lures Bank of Earth" will yield
returns far beyond anyone's great
est expectation. But this is not the
only return. BY using native ma
terials at hand and spending only a
very little time and few cents for
flower seeds, any Bingham county
settler can surround his pioneer
cabin with a distinctive touch OF
beauty.
A few trees, shrubs and flowers
will make the difference between a
home radiating good cheer and happi-
ness and a mere shack hiding dull
and dreary existence. A settler can
make his temporary home pleasant
place in which to live, place that
his boys and girls will love, and q
place which his wife will take great
deal of pleasure and pride In man.
aging, and also a place, which be-
cause Of its home-like appearance
and cheerful comfort will rest him
when his days work is done.
In all probability the future farm
home will be built not far from the
pioneer home. If possible select the
site now and group a few elm or
Eastwood trees about twenty feet
from the place where you think the
corner of the future home may be.
1t is also well to start windbreak or
grove to the north and west of your
farm buildings. About 10000 feet
is a good distance to start in with
the wind-break planting.
About the present home group a
few shade and ornamental trees.
Plant some flowers along the walk
leading to the house and at the door
step. Place trellis for vines before
the sunny windows. Add an en-
trance gate of an attractive rustic
design, with the farm name neatly
displayed on it. 1t Is worth while
not only because Of the real comfort
and pleasure of living and working
amid such surroundings, but because
it adds dollars to the value of the
pioneer farm a hundred times over,
for all the time and cost required.
The trees needed are either grow
distance from it. Select young,
thrifty looking, well-shaped ones for
your planting. Move them now be-
fore the sap begins to run and bring
as much of the roots and soil that
they are growing is as you can.
There Is no more beautiful orna-
mental tree than the silver spruce,
the balsam, or the stately white pine,
and nothing is so inviting during the
noon-hour rest on a hot summer day,
as the cool shade cast by the fast
growing maple. Thirty-five cents
will buy the variety OF flower seeds
required to give you flowers in bloom
all thru the summer.
Trees, shrubs and flowers, well
placed, help to turn house into a
home. II

HOW Ho1srMNs HELPED Ink

Eight years ago c. B. Hix and
wife. of Gearing. Iowa. began farm
ing one of the many Iowa farms
which have too long been allowed
to grow corn. According to the
story which appeared in a recent Is
sue of the Iowa Homestead this
farm was not naturally poor one,
but it had been robbed Of its fertility
by the cropping In which little or no
manure had been put back. "A
twenty-bushei oat crop and corre-
spending low corn crop was the ex-
perience of the HIS for one, two,
three years. BY that time they were
going to have Increasing respect for
the cream check, which made Its
regula1 appearance as result OF
their milking . few common milk
COWS. Finally they bought seven
head of Holsteins and = purebred
bull Of the same breed. With this
addition to the herd the size and fire.
Quency of the cream checks Afforded
quite . source of revenue for the
Hix family.
With the coming. OF the World
War farm help became scarce and
the patriotic appeal for the produc-
ton OF grain crops was made. The
problem of handling the herd be-
came so acute that finally the Hix's
sold most of their producing cows,
keeping only sufficient number for
the home milk supply and a few
heifers. c
For a while the war and Postwar
prices seemed to justify the return
to the grain system of farming. The
form, too, responded with increased
production to the brief rest and in
creased manure supply it had re-
ceived. But this advantage was
only temporary for with decreased
prices came also lessened acre yields
and again the Hixs faced the old
problem of making a profit from
heir labor.
Y After a careful consideration of
he various duties involved In the
operation of a dairy farm,
Mr.. Hix and his father went to Wis
,onsin in 1921 and purchased
high grade Holstein
ows, heifers and springers. A good
,urebred Holstein bull from a prom
nent Iowa herd was purchased.
'ince 1921 the herd was increased in
lie from thirty to seventy-five head.
ar. Hix estimates on a basis of nine
months production that he will re-
Give a gross income of approx
nately $4,000 from twenty-seven
ows, the number he proposes to
eep after the sale which he will
old soon. AS he figures, the skim

he cost of feed. Little feed aside
rom a few tons of oil meal is pur-
based. Skim milk is fed to hogs
nd chickens. Their farm is now
ne of the most productive and most
p-to-date to be found In Iowa.

desire to continue to sell their eggs
at IL to Is cents per dozen and more
than likely 10 cents before the sea-
son is over, 1t is alright with the
boys in Pocatello and the committee.
Our only object in donating our time
in putting over this organization
was to assist the poultry growers and
have this industry grow as 1t should.
II the growers do not want such an
cash twice a month, / am sure the
committee does not want them to
come in.
This is one thing that is definite,
that II the necessary sign-up is not

not be any further effort made to in

colors are used with either. One
who is sensitive to colors and makes
a study of flower colors, however,
can often successfully make daring
color combinations that should not
be attempted by those not experienced
and not color sensitive. In ordinary
planting it is good practice to use a
color with those colors near it on the
chart or with its complement on the
opposite side, avoiding those shown
at right angles. The colors found in
any botanical species are safe to use
together, but flowers of different
species or hybrids of them, tho of
the same genus, are not always safe;
as, for example, not all kinds OF
roses are suited to grow together.

In addition to locating clumps of !

an important relation to the ulti-

many clumps of a single kind. A
of plants of similar size in
each clump gives the best results.
