His wife eaame diseontented aid said she, was going to move her Innate out to the heap paeture, beehuse it was nice and grassy out there. The first requisite for the farm 'awn is a chicken -tight fence. •The •:eat is a good growth of grass. When he land has been seeded, then atten- tion can be given to adornment. Trees, shaubs and flowees should be • alanted around the edges, or in cot- rsers, but never in the center. An •attractive lawn has an open, grassy center. ' If shade is desired in a season or two, trees of quick growth must be planted. More beautiful trees. of sletver growth can be talented at the same time and the less desirable, quickegrowing ones cut down when the' desirable oneecome oe. Sugar oe hard maple is a desirable ‘411acle and ornamental tree, When mature it can be tapped and will yield sap for making maple sugar or syrup, Other ornamental shade trees are the mountaiu ash, poplar, honey - locust, linden, and the different elms. One or more • nut -bearing trees shod be included in the list for the lawn. There are black walnuts, chestnuts and butternuts. Do not plant seedlings, but grafted stocka' improved varieties. The hazelnut is a low -growing bath which produces large quantities of nuts and makes an effective screen. . One of the most essential trees for the farm home is the evergreen, set to form a windbreak. If desired, fruit trees can be planted on the lawn, yielding both fruit •and shade. The weeping trees are effective in landscaping. Some deairable ones are cut -leaf weeping birch, weeping elm and weeping wialow. Shrubs can be used seccessfully for screen, and are very attractive when used as a background for ,flowers. Perennial flowers- can be planted profusely for they do not require much care. Flowers planted next to low -growing shrubs make a pleasing arrangement, the taller varieties bordering the shrubs. Singae and double hollyhocks in the different colors are sbeautiftil when bordering shrubs of a higher growth. The twinieg, climbing,' clinging vines and ivies help to turn our lawns into fairy-Iand, They produce mar- velous' effects in landscaping and help to cover more unsightly places than any other class of plants. They are used for ground covers, and to clothe old buildings porches, • archways, arbors and ga:tenrays. They are ene of the most important of your plant - mg scheme. Any one planning the farm lawn ;can have zone beautiful landscape effects surrounding his home, if he will make a. study of the subject.

The fundamental meth- ods of controlling it are clean farm- ing, good farming, and the substitu- tion.of cloves! for grasses. • This is deinonetrated in a new circular of the. Dominion Entomological Branch, which may be obtained free from the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. •. It is pointed out in the circular that the habits of the rose chafer make grass land, vineyards, 'orchards and email fruit plantations, which are neglected or poorly cultivated, ideal places for its rapid propagation. The only itameely is to bring these , araas' under culti- vation. The plough, disc- and cult - veto'. are the most eFfective weapons against the insect and they can best be used at three different times: in late May and early June, in mid-July, and at the time when late fall plough- ing is ustially done. Old neglected fence rows should be broken up. In order. -to make' the fight against the chafer still more' successful, the re- claimed land should be seeded down to alfalfa or sweet clover. • If the land is. worthless for agricultural puaposes. it should be reforested as the shadenfroid the tteee will render it unsuitable for a breeding ground.

Golden Text—A soft answer turneth away wrath: But grievous words stir Op anger.—Prov. 15: ANALYSIS I. Isatic'e Prosperity, 12-17. 1. The Digging of the Wells, 18-22. ut, Ta..26.0Bleeeing at Beertellebae n Introductiou—There is a striking contrast betweeu the character of Isaac and that of Abraham, his father. Abraham is shown as the man of strong faith, magnanimous, hospitable, and courteous, wisely and capably governing his household, and prompt and courageous in an ewergeacy, when the life and liberty a a kinsman are imperilled. Isaac is also, no doubt, a deeply pious man, but with ;nisch less distinction and strength of character, a lover of peace'meek and yielding when a;ssall- ed by hostile neighbors, and quite evidently lacking in wise guidance and controL of, his sons. Both are represented as, on occasion, guilty of the duplicity, and falsehood which fre- quently marked the Semitic character. L Isaac's Prosperity, 12-17, Isaac sowed in that land, that is, in the southern part of the Philistine country, It is evident that he and his people are changing, in part at least, their manner of life, They are beginning to cultivate the land, using, no doubt, the water of their weals for purposes of irrigation. The rains in that region can only be de- pended upon in the winter months, hence the sowing must be done in September or. October. There are parts of Palestine to -day in which wheat is said to yield on an average eighty, and barley, an hundredfold. The Iveils had been malieiously stopped, or,filled up, by the Philis- tines, who were evidently jealous and unpleasant neighbors, During the long, hot summer months these swells were the only source of supply of water, for their flocks and for the inagation of their gardens and vine- yards. Isaac might have put up a stout resistance and might have de- fended his -wells, but for the sake cd peace he yielded and moved to the valley of Gerar, This valley, celled by the Arabi a warly, had a stream flowing through it which dried up in the summer, but in the bed of which water could be foited by digging.

The fact that tb.ese Philistines had -filled up. the wells showed clearly that they did not need them. „But they are unwill- ing to let Isaac's herdmen have them. Isaac calls his well Esek, a Hebrew name which means "contention." So also Sitnah means "enmity," and. Rehoboth broad places, or "plenty of room." For now, they said, the Lord hath made MOM far us. The patience and forbearance, and peace -loving spirit ef Isaac, in contrast to the jealous enmity and contentious atti- tude of his neighbors are wholly ad- mirable.

Superstition holds that it is unwise to offer, a itmlie an a gift Perhaps it is right, but I believe love is out into more frequently by the lack of proper cutlery than by receiving it from frinds, 0 No article of heusehold equipment is used more frequently than kitchee knives. If dull and inefficient they not only haggle meat and bread but also the worker's nerves, That's why I think every farm woman peede to take an invoice of her knives before the summer rash begins. Knives of good steel pay in the service they offer. They hold their edges longer and cut cleaner and quicker than the cheaper ones. The best blades usually have a long, slen- der bevel or sloping edge which shale pens easily, • Before purchasing a knife I grasp it in ray hand to se.e if the handle is smooth and cernfortable. The latter quality depends on the indi- vidual. A knife that fits rny hand might be impossible in my neigh- bor's palm. The blade must be fast- ened to the wooden handle with rivets, and securely Into the metal handle. SHARP POINTS Every well-equipped workshep needs at least one paring knife. Three or four will be found useful.
