But the people in the States are rAa.pi_dly wak- , ing up to the fact that the open lawn not only lacks a highly desirable privacy and home seclusion but is also apt, to become at and_-monoton- ous in appearance, A succession of open lawns one a street presents a dead level of 2 sameness which be- comes tiresorne, and our neighbors `in thefstates are assiduously planting hedges and erectinglow walls and railings which add `ifnI11An:Alv'l-n 4-In- The Brockville Times has been an advocate of the removal of front fences and the beautifying of home surroundings. This movement has been the means of improving the front lawns in cities and towns at. the expense of- owers, gardens and shrubs, which are at the mercy of dogs and children, when the protect- ing fen-ce is-removed`. To remedy this the Times is recommending the planting of hedges or the erection of low permanent, walls or railings. This is a natural development and the suggestion will be appreciated by all who desire to enjoy their beau- tiful home surroundings to the full- est extent. The Times in a recent article said: . I ment about the farm home. Take, for instance", the beautiful soft. and rock`maple, with their graceful, low bending boughs, and "early spring budding and blossom. No less hand- . some-are the native linden and ash- imade sources of beauty and adorn- I leaved maple (box elder), the buck- eye, chestnut and white-ash; _ Plenty of Iwater. A.supply_ of pure water is one of the _most important things on the dairy farm. Especially 15 this so in Often, thirsty animals have water to drink only from wayside pools, and drains, and as three-fourths of all milk is made from water, it can be easily seen how such conditions will make milk ,urv,_t for human consump- tion. Few things, and, perhaps, no one thing contributes more liberally toward` making existence endurable in hot weather than doespure, cold water. In -summer, evaporation of uids from the body goes on: much -summer, when the demand for water. more rapidlythan it does in winter, and, therefore, the demand for re- plenishment is keen. 4M`;uch ,cruelty to cattle _and other farm animals ex- ists by depriving them of this neces- sary, or limitingthem to an insu`i- cient supply.--Ex. by both man and beast is increased. 1 "ii 3 1l}\SETT.
