BEAUTIFYING HOME GROUNDS NOT EXPENSIVE Of al 1 the unattractive places, the home grounds without shade trees, shrubbery and grass heads the list. There is no reason for such a state of affairs existing, because in whatever condition one’s finances may be, a few dollars may be dug up for a few shade trees and a few clumps of shrubbery. We have seen many small homes almost made over in appear ance, where not more than $5 or $10 was spent for shrubbery, and a dollar or two for some lawn grass seed. Neither is it necessary to secure the services of a paid landscape gar dener in order to beautify the home grounds. He would probably make the place look better than the home owner himself, yet with the free in formation that is available for every one ,there is no reason why any one cannot properly locate and plant shrubbery and trees. State agricultural colleges, county agents, nurserymen, farm papers and other agricultural organizations are all glad to supply information of this kind. Where one will take a picture of the house and yard where trees and shrubbery are desired and send it to the state agricultural college, or to nurserymen having shrubbery for sale, detailed information as to the exact kind of shrubbery that is best suited and where it should be placed may be had. In sending in such a picture, send along a rough drawing, showing location of house, walks, driveways, and any trees or shrub bery that may already be on the grounds. Also show on the drawing and the distance between the house and the driveway and the distance between the trees and house, the height of the eaves of the roof of the house, the height oi the porch floor from tTie “I keep six honest, serving men; (They taught me AH I Knew): Their namen are WHAT and WHY and WHEN, and HOW and WHERE and WHO” WHAT wee the Declaration of London?

KIPLINU ground. AnWfepjr source from which much information along this line may be secured is from the catalogues put out by nurserymen, and from bulle tins put out by the state agricultural colleges and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. They are written by men who are fully in formed as to the best methods of beautifying the home grounds and are free to anyone who asK3 for them. The main point that we wish to make here is that the cost of improv ing the home grounds is not necessa rily expensive. It is true that one may spend an unlimited amount of money in improving the grounds, but it is equally true that a mighty good showing may be made with a lim ited amount of money. Another point we would make is that this work should not be put off until the last minute. May folks in tend to plant the grounds but put it off until it is too late in the spring and then say they will do it the follow ing year and repeat the same thing over again. Therefore, the time to begin studying this proposition is in winter, so that the plans may be made, the work mapped out, etc., be fore spring. Nothing will add so much to the making of the house a real home as to beautify the surroundings. Even men who make no pretension of caring for the beautiful are influenced by their surroundings. No one can possi bly live in a home with beautiful grounds, made so by trees, shrubbery, etc., and not be a better man. There fore, let’s not say that we care no thing for the beautiful, because we do, whether conscious of it or not. Let’s not stifle what love there may be in our natures for beauty of this kind. ATE TOO FAST South Carolinian Took Black* Draught For Indigestion, and Says He Could Soon Eat Anything. Ballentine, S. C.—Mr, W. B. Bouknight, of this place, gave the following account of his use of Thedford’s Black-Draught. “Just alter 1 married I had indi gestion. Working out, 1 got in the habit of eating fast, for which l soon paid by having a tight, bloated feeling after meals. This made me very uncomfortable. 1 would feel stupid and drowsy, didn't feel like work it.-"-. I was (old it was lndl r: .i. Some one recommended Bhu k-Draught and I took ‘it after meals. I soon could eat anything any time. “I use it for colds and bilious ness and it will knock out a cold and carry away the bile better and quicker than any J*ver medicine I have ever found.’’ Eating too fast, too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes discomfort after meals. A pinch of Black-Draught, washed down with a swallow of water, will help to bring prompt relief. Bloat ed sensations, eructations, bad breath and other common symptoms of indigestion have disappeared after Black-Draught has been taken for several days.

McLamb Another home and many hearts have been made sad by the death of February 23, 1889, making her stay on earth thirty-six years. She was married to Mr. J. H. McLamb in 1910. To this union were born seven children, three of whom preceded her to the grave several years ago, leav ing to mourn a devoted mother, her husband, four loving children, a fa ther, one sister, three brothers and a host of sorrowing friends to mourn their loss, ghe joined the Second Ad vent church at Lee’s Chapel in 19f7, and was baptized by Elder Y. W. Moore. She lived a devoted member for several years. She was a Chris tian, a wife indeed and a splendid mother to her children. By her ! Christian life she pointed towards the heavenly home to which her spi rit has flown. It is sad to give her up, yet we rejoice in the hope of meeting her in our father’s house where Jesus has gone to prepare a place for those who love him, and hope to join her in perfect praise forever. She was a great sufferer for several months before her death and the Lord gave her sweet relief from it by taking her to himself. Her go ing leaves a vacant seat in her church, of which she was a faithful ; member, and a vacant place in the hearts of her family which can never be filled, but Lord, help us to be re conciled to God’s holy and divine will | in taking her home, for this is her Mrs. J.

Her death was a terrible shock to us all, but God knows best. He giveth and he tak eth away. Her funeral services were conduct ed by her pastor, Elder Y. M. Moore in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends. The floral offerings gave evidence of the high esteem in which she was held. Her body was laid to rest in Banner’s Chapel cemetery, there to await fhe glorious resurrection. She is gone and gone forever, Where troubles are no more; So let us live to meet her On that bright and happy shore.

Letters were written to all concerns in the United States which were list ed as being engaged in the manufac true of preparations or devices to combat rats. Reliable figures were received from 22 manufacturers of chemical poinsons, from 9 manufac turers of bacterial viruses, and from 4 trap manufacturers. A compilation of the figures received showed that approximately $1,380,000 is exspend ed annually for chemical poisons to combat rats. The amount spent for I bacterial viruses is about $500,000.

How many successful farmers do you know who do not attribute their success to proper fertilization?
