The mumon has arrived when we should bf»Kln to think ab^ut the trees that we are going to plant around the house and yard this winter. Pos sibly you have not thought that you were going to set nny out or may t*e you belong to the latter class you are Indeed fortunate, for there Is nothing that adds so much to the beauty of the landscape as trees. They tell ul. kinds of tilings to the passvr-by. Who | does not like to see a tine tree In t.u ■ dooryard; who does not love t. 1 wt Ird sound of the wind among ti • branches in the winter; who does not enjoy the shade of a majestic trie in the summer time; who cannot read! something of beauty, of majesty, of strength and of gracefulness In the trees. Show me the man or woman ' that does not feel the presence of u | fine tree and I will show you one who Is going through the world and mis* Ing Its liner pleasures; who Is living a life of drudgery Instead of joy. In small city lots the large trees cannot l.e used with as much free-| ciom an In the country; they fill i M » too much space; they are oftentimes too much in the way. But out on the farm It Is possible to have a grove about the house to hide In the shade oil through the hot summer, away from the dust and the dirt, the rush and the turmoil of an ovei I crowded town. AH of our trees should j not be deeldous. however, evergreens | should also be used. They add a great deal to the beauty of the court , try picture in the winter time when all the other trees are sad and look ragged without their leaves. Too many evergreens, though, should not be used, as they give a dark, sober, cemetery’ look to a place, but a clump or group here and there about the yard goes a long way toward liven ing the drear winter months; their dark green also help to show off the beauty of the other trees when they are In leaf during the summer. In planting your trees be careful not to get them In lines, nothing Is quite so stiff and out of place as an unn» cessary line of trees. The only pos sible use that can be made of n lino of plants is to border a drive or a walk, and then unless the drive is as straight as a string and runs for quite a distance, trees can be planted m groups and clumps with better ef- f»H't. Did you ever see a straight line of anything In Nature? Are not the natural lines of beauty In the woods and fields all curves. If you never noticed this, try and find a straight line In the woods. When you start your planting go out Into the woods and take a look at the natural grouping you will see there and then transplant to your door-yard some of the same types of groupis that you found. Do not think that because your homo does not sit In a natural grove that you will have to go with out one and spend your time envy ing the neighbor that has one; you can easily get trees around the house. Of course It will take a few years am? some trouble, but you can have the satisfaction of putting the trees Just w’here you want them and also the pleasure of watching them grow. If the land around the house must be used plant out a lot of trees and tur* It Into a paature for the stock; that, of course, necessitates the building of a fence around the yard proper, but it will give you a grove and a useful pasture. Many p» ople like to see fine stock grazing close to the house; n * r ’ « * ♦' f ore natural and *noth- • •. a scape more lively r (I h or rollicking colts it, the lover The oaks and hickories can be easily gotten from the woods, but should be taken up when small, as they havo tap roots and are hard to transplant after they have attained some slz*. When an oak or any of the slow growing trees has attained a good size. It is an Invaluable asset to the place. The maples also make ex cellent trees for the yard or lawn; some of them may also be obtains In the native woods; the sour-w’ood, vith its glorious fall color may also oe us«d; and there are the elms, sweet-gum and others too numerous to mention.

Win » what tr ones animals, i nine to the question of it s to use. It seems almost useless to say anything al out it. as there rre so many beautiful trees in our comfy and there are so many different kinds of places to plant them In that we cannot consider all sl of the question. We might as weii s.iy, plant trees and let It go at tha«, leaving the person who Is going u do the planting to pick out their own kind. Most nil of the oaks are go.id trees to use, but they are very slow growing and it is a good plan to plant out a rapidly growing tree, such ns the poplar, and when the oak has at tained sufficient size, remove the pop lar, letting the oak have the room. ! While certain lines of feeding have proven to be about the best and good [enough to tie to. yet it is a good plan (to vary the bill occasionally, enough to give your chickens a change, so | desirable In all kinds of stock feed ing The change need not be radi cal or complete, but Just some little j thing added while another is dropped for a short while. This can often be ,accomplished with the green stufTs. For the best gro ceries at the lowest prices go to, L. D. Smith, S.

Possibly her own wouldn t taste now just as it did in those days, down on the farm, but we have just received some which seems to us just like the good old kind. It is Heinz Apple Butter One of the 57 Varieties—made as those pro ducts all are, pure, clean and good. We don’t care to say more about it. We would rather you would taste it and judge for your self. Heinz Apple Butter comes in stone crocks, and enameled tins of convenient sizes. Barnes & Rioliter.
