This is called foundation planting. Tho height of the shrubbery used should vary with the height of foundation and the house itself. Th© strongest plantings should be p.?*.ed at the corners. AU plantings should be at least two feet from the foundation, giving plenty of room for each indi­ vidual, varying the distance with the size of the shrub when manure, CARE IN PLANNING. Choose kinds of shrubs with care. Have a variety, yet do not mix them. Have a background, say of spirea, with barberry in front. Shrubs should not be used individually about the lawn, as this lessens the seeming size and gives a museum effect to the place, make them more pleasant places to i Shrubs, other than foundation plant- live. j ings, are ,best used in masses about Every person has within them at}?e b°i’ders to make the frame or mar- sense of pleasure on seeing a thing of ^ln y°ur picture. They are used beauty. Most people take pleasure in; also to separate different parts of the earing for plants, either in the home ‘ grounds, as well as to screen unsightly or outside. If shrubs and flowers have ”* ~ --4.’--.’ not been used, it is generally because of lack of time or fear of planting them out in a place unsuited for them, ! or not knowing the right thing for the right place. SUFFICIENT AREA. A home includes not only the build­ ing itself, but a properly planted yard about it and the othei- outbuildings. This area may vary widely. It is bet­ ter to have a w-ell cared for place than a poorly kept large one. However, considering the extent of the sur­ rounding fields, the farm home yard would look pinched if no larger than the city lot. One hundred and twenty- five to 250 feet make a very satisfac­ tory area fox* frontage. Too large a place means an increase in the unpro­ ductive acreage of the farm, as well as too much time to properly care for it, time that should be used for more productive work. The house, with its surroundings, should make a pleasing picture, with Shavings for Nests. During the present time, when very cold temperatures may be ex­ pected, it is well to choose for the nests some material which will partly cover the eggs and help them retain their animal heat. There is nothing better for this purpose than fine planer shavings. They can be purchased by the bale oi’ bv . the bag Fill the nest of three or them. Besides the shavings absorb the tmois-l ture from droppings and keeps the egg3 clean. The birds do not seem to scratch shavings out of the nests as they do’hay or straw. It is also im­ portant to collect eggs frequently in very cold weather to avoid chilling. Two or three times a day is none too often on very cold days, especially if the eggs are to be incubated. ---------.— Fertile Eggs. Sun.—The breeding flock should be allowed outdoors every sunny day dur­ ing the winter and spring. Use a glass substitute in the windows that will permit the ultra-violet rays to pass through. Milk.—The liberal use of milk-Jn the ration for breeding stock is of proven value. Green Feed.—Green feed should be available to the birds at all times. Green second cut alfalfa hay, lettuce, and sprouted oats are the most useful. Double Mate.—Alternate the males in the breeding pen. Allow one male to run the pen for two days, while the ( other is confined in an elevated coop in the same house, then change them, alternating three times each week during the season when hatching eggs are required. -------------- ------ - When you are through with the disk harrow for the season, roll it upon a wide plank.

One need not be rich to be happy, but improvements about or in the home may make one live with greater satis- • faction. Satisfaction in life is what! we are all striving for.

THE FINAL JUDGMENT OF GOD, Introduction —- St. Matthew, by placing th© parable where he does, ’ (fives it the closest relation to the last judgment, Christians will be judged according to the use which they make of the entrusted gifts of God, St. Luke, in his version of the same par­ able, says that it was spoken “because Jesus was near Jerusalem, and be­ cause they (the disciples) imagined! that God’s kingdom would immediate­ ly appear,” Luke 19:11, Thus in Luke it acquires the meaning that, though God’s kingdom may be long delayed in: coming, the immediate task of Chris-; tians may not be postponed. They must get to work, making the best use *. they can of the opportunities of doing good which God puts into their hands. The parable describes the gifts en­ trusted to Christians as so many suxps of money which Christians have to in-' vest in profitable ways. The talent is > a sum of money equal to about £200, But,„ as we shall all feel, it is not merely the use of money that is in-; tended. God gives us a spiritual, capital and spiritual opportunities;! Mrs. J. o. Cuffing, Bonnlo Doon Ranch, Okotoks, Alta., writes:—- *4 About three years ago I had a (ner­ vous breakdown followed by heart palpitation and shortness of breath.

Arrange a pile of plates (heated) at each corner and on each pile place a few folded doilies or paper napkins. Arrange forks and spoons in fan shape.
