Chores are done before breakfast and often af ter supper, the stock need close at tention, certain farm seeds are kept In the house, the hired man may slee there, and the women folks often try to tske rare of the poultry; thus It is essential that the house be reason, ably close to the other buildings, says the United States Department of Ag riculture. The value of the house constitu tes an important part of the real estate value of the farm. On the higher-priced combelt farms and the lowprlced cotton belt farms the value of the dwelling represents from 6 to 1 5 per cent of the real estate value of the farm, while In the eastern part of the United States this percentage Is more commonly 20 per cent or over. The beautifying of the yard by shrubbery, flower beds, and a good lawn Involves the occasional use of manure, the Introduction of fertile soil, the use of a team and of small farm tools, all of which are available on the average farm. THE MATKtfn GARDEN LAND American gardeners could well af ford to learn a lesson from the French gardeners regarding the use of manure on their land. In some cases where French gardeners are working on rented land, a clause in the lease provides that if tho gar dener be forced to vacate the land he is permitted to remove the top soil to a specified depth. It Is customary to apply anywhere from four to eight Inches of manure a year to French gardens. This is composted and mix ed with the soil and in the course of a few weeks becomes a part of the soil itself. It is needless to state that some enormous crops are grown on this land. While is would not be possible for American gardeners to secure suffi cient quantities of manure to apply It at the rate that Is used In France, yet an effort should be made to se cure as much of this material as pos sible and put It directly upon the land where intensive crops are to be grown. The plan of having a com post heap tn one corner of the garden where everything in the nature of majiure can be piled and composted together Is a good one. Into this pile should go all the weeds that do not bear objectional seeds, pieces of sod. clippings from the lawn, leaves and manure. By turning the pile at In tervals, a rich mellow material is produced which 1s suitable for top dressing the garden soil. Owing to the limited quantity of manure av ailable at present its use should he re stricted to those crops that take quick quick growth and require plenty of fertility In the soil.
