The farm family, because of Its
comparative remoteness from the
turmoil and distractions of the city,
has wonderful opportunities to make
a real home. Among these oppor
tunities, specialists of the United
States department of agriculture
point out, is that of beautifying the
farmstead so that It may be more at
tractive to the occupants. Thia will
tend to make both young and old
more contented, will add materially
to. the enjoyment of those who pass
by, yid Incidentally to the selling
value of the farm.
A movement is under way to In
duce people to buy their coal in the
summer and we suppose the most
noticeable result of the campaign
will be to establish mid-winter fuel
prices by August at the latest.
Ere this we had expected the home
outfitting stores to be showing some
thing in cellar lamps.
