It should bo remembered too, that the grounds aro for tho pleasure and enjoyment of tho peoplo lUIng thero ind not entirely for tho benefit of the passerby. With tills In mind, tho outlook from tho rear of tho house should bo mndo ns beautiful jad attractive as tbnt from tho front.

Tho high growing shrubs should be placed In tho rear or tho border, and tho lower growing kinds reserved for tho foreground, angles and baBemcnt lines of tho house. Tho nurserymnn's catalogues usunlly Imllcato theso points, thus making wise selection poaslblo for anyone. One should not try to plnnt every thing In tho catalogue, but should confine tho solectlon julnclpnlly to nntlye, hardy nnd well-known sorts. Instead of Mingle specimens, three or four plants (nioro when possible) of each kind should bo planted together. Caro should bo taken to select shrubs blooming nt different times through out the entire benson, and not thoso only which flower in tho Spring time. Plants for shady places should bo selected with special care, and at tention should bo clven to Wlntnr effects. A few evergreens nnd plants wiiii iruu nuncring into m tno season or with somo characteristic color of baric may bo selected for this pur pose. Kspeclal ntlentlon should bo given to tho Insect nnd dlsenso problems. Many plants, othorwlso very desir able, must bo omitted from the list of the average planter on account of their susceptibility to Insects and I dlseasos. This is perhaps (ho most difficult point for the amateur in tin i selection of satisfactory plnnts. Above nil It should not bo forgot ten thnt plnnts become larger.

What a job it is to wash the pans or crocks. How many handlings they need. What a lot of tlmo it takes to fill them and set them away, to protect them from dirt, to do tho actual skimming, td dispose of tho cold skim milk, to purify tho crocks or pans. Now note tho difference. With an I II C separator tho mill: is clammed wliilo still warm from tho cows, tho separator is washed in a fow minutes and cverytbintr. is readv for tho next milking. You want tho separator that will help you most. Thero aro other things thiurtho saving of wot It to bo considered.
