MAY 4. 1917 SCREENED PORCH IS DELIGHT Such an Adjunct/to Farmhouse May Be Used as an Outdoor Dining Room and as Sitting Room. The screened porch opening into the kitchen and overlooking the flower garden, which every woman loves and should take time to enjoy, is one of the delights that is coming for every farm wife. This porch may be used all symmer for the outdeor dining room and for a sitting room, too, if there is not another porch, (also screened) on the other side of the house. This porch with its view of the love- 1y garden and shrubbery is a delight from early spring when the first plum and cherry blossoms come, to the time of late autumn flowers. Why should the view which is seen so often from early dawn till dewy eve be a chicken coop or a pigpen? Chicken coops, pigpens and barn- yards are indispensable but why not arrange to have the often unsightly spots screened by shrubs? The beau- tiful elder grows in profusion nearly everywhere and there is no expensive shrub bought in a nursery which has more grace and beauty. It grows easily and spreads so that in a few years one may have a lovely back- ground for the garden in front. It 18 doubtful if the psalmist could have written so charmingly if he had not been able “to lift his eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.” The expense of screening a porch is an item that must be considered and yet where the man of the house is at all handy with tools it may be done with little expense outside of the cost of lumber, screens and paint. The amount of comfort enjoyed by the family on such a porch cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. In ordinary seasons it may be used for an outdoor dining room, and sleep- ing porch for baby from four to six months of the year. What home con- venience at the same cost would be the comfort to the entire family? HOREZ LABOR ON FARMS. a | Crop Improvement Serviee.] On the grain farm the heaviest work for the horses comes in April, May and in August, September and October. The rest of the time there is practically nothing for the horses to do. But enough horses have to be kept during the year to take czre of the work during these busy rionths. When averaged up the horse on the grain farm only works three hours a day. These figures were secured in an investigation by the Minnesota Exper- iment Station, under the direction of Thomas Cooper. now director of the North Dakota Experiment Station. In this same investiration it was fonnd that when the crops are diversified, the horse labor is better distributed. There is less work for the horses in the seasons that are the busiest on the all-grain farm, and there is work or the horses when there is no work for the horses on the all-grain farm FOUNTAIN OF NOVEL DESIGN Problem of Waste Water Is Solved in This Attractive Structure of Con- crete and Boulders.

Just now the word “community” is very much in vogue. We near about community singing societies, community forums, community celebrations and commu- nity projects of all sorts. Most of these are highly commendable. One reaction, though, of the frequent use of this word is to spread the idea that all this community enterprise is something new. Everything we have done is by way of community effort. It is a wholesome thing to pause, some- times, and remember that everything we do is a community thing. In the final analysis there is no such thing as a “self-made man.” The Germans have grown to understand this more than we have; hence many of their finest achievements in co-operation.

Farm Machinery Mr. Farmer, why not make pre- paration in regard to what farm ma-|. chinery you will be needing for put- ting in and also harvesting your crop this fall?

At present our stock is very com- plete and we invite you to call in and inspect our line and let you see for yourself the kind of machines you want.

Vance said the John Deere was what he wanted and that he did not want to wait till fall for fear he would have to take some other. There surely is mnothing like pre- paration. Are you PREPARED?
