If so, I do not j blame any boy or any girl for w leaving the farm; and just so long as the parents hold to this opinion, just so long will the p bovs and girls be dissatisfied . ti with farm life and seek more . 11 genial surroundings. 1 know tail ^ * well llmt money is rarely plcnti- ^ fill in n country household, but j have all kinds of r iw material it , d your hand to be had without the r) expenditure of a penny, which, 'f when used with di.- re ion aid ti some labor will give satisfa ion to every lover of the beautiful.

Before sowing the ( grassseed the ground must be well prepared, ph-w'n and harrow ing, instead of spading, if the plot be of any size. There must be a fine seed bed, all sticks, stones, refuse of all kinds clear d away. The ground can scarcely be too rich for good turf, but it Progressive Farmer. Not long ago I heard the following s.orv: A man who had made a success of city lite was ashed if he would like to sp"nd the remainder of his days on the ' $ old homo place out in the connv try. Looking up from his desk lie smiled a slow, thoughtful smile, full of significance and said : "I suppose it is natural for vou to ask that question, be , i n cause you do not know that my j old home was the most unbeau- ^ tiful spot it has ever been my lot to see. Cio hack there to live? Never ! 1 go every year to visit j the old lolks. for tliev meant IV well. I am sure; bul I lie v didn't , r understand, they didn't un derstand. They had no idea of the longing of the ordinary child lor the beautiful, and I wis given ? neither encouragement nor time ( to realize that longing. Why, the last time 1 was at home father was still raising his potatoes in ( the front vard, and mother had c her cabbages and onions as near g to the front door as she could ^ plant them ; and all the while j acres of land were lying idle." I In answer to this tome will j ^ fee! inclined to ?ay that the old. couple evidently did all of their own work and wished t ? save time and labor at every turn, so planted crops up to their doors.

Flowers, especially or the farm homo, are best in he kitchen garden, away from hickens, cats, etc., and placed 0 that a working ot the vegeibles will mean also a working > f the flowers. The walks add to or detract ery much from the appearance 1 the lawn. A pathway should 1 ways have some reason to be, ?it should lead somewhere.
