The an.Kiety of young people to gel away from the home will be largely prevented when home surroundings are made attractive. We would like to see our country jiomes made more bcautihil, because wo know the rewards are great. Sometimes a mere hint of this nature will start people to think, and if this ] will not bo wasted. yet to bo prospected in what is known to be mineral-bearing country, ^ui^^^'ri ^^cccnU m Mng iUh the space jnillioiid will be produced where to- day the pioducts are uot available owing lo the need for shipping facili- ties. We predict that within fifteen years from the preeent time Ontario •will be known as one of the richest mineral proviuccs in the world. It is uow kii^vii that a mineral-beaiing belt rnns from the extreme west of this province to tho cast, extending into the provinces on cither side. This inodus work and wealth for generations to come. BEAUTIL-y THE HOMES It is time that our farming com- munity came to a better understanding of tho value of beautiful surround iugs. In early days when hard labor was the only asset of the settler it was impassible for many to poy much at« tention to tliu acstlietio, but with advancing pio?pcrity that excuse ii void, and at the pifsciit time there are few who could not spend a little more time than tliey do in making their homes more pleasing to themselvts and to all lovers of the beautiful. IIow often in travelling through the cou ntry do we see a comfortabln farm liouBo standing out bleak and barren without shade tree or lawn to relieve tho roonototiy, and a homo that should beco><y and coiiifortablu-looking outside as well as in, remains a cold and forbidding spoctnclo. Too many people think that when they iiavo erected a respectable, and maybe costly, house, they have done their whole duty by tho family, without attempting to beautify tho surround- ings, and tlio front yard id thus left to scorching suns, chickens, ducks and gccso, with weeds growing at their own HWtot will.
