Tho action of bacteria In the septic tank will tic troy all tho solid matter, so Hint the water which flow out tho lower end will be clear and have no objection able odor. With mi occasional rlenn Ing out mil a tank will lust forever. The house should be provided with plenty of porches. These Inrrense the espouse somewhat, but also add much to the comfort nnd apppumnce of the house. Vines trained up over them to keep out the sun and screens to keep out the lllea make them still more comfortable. Nothing adds moro to tho external pprarunce of the house than a neat lawn of ample size. IK not miike It g&m vim rm, xxxiv a coiimii or a kkati,t ah- IIASOKII LAWN, too large, however, or the work of mowing will bo likely to be neglected. A lawn Ih not hard to iiiuUe. A little work leveling uml preparing u line seed bed uml it liberal application of blue griiKH seed that will grow will ulmost certululy result In a good lawn. I o not iiiuku tho common mistake of planting trees too close to the house. They detract from the appearance and mnku tho bouse close and Bluffy. The opposite extreme, ahould bo avoided also. A few trees iibout tho edges of the Inwn furnish grateful xtindo and provide it flunking for tho picture of which the hoiiKo Is tho central figure. Tho decorative value of shrubs lg of ten not appreciated iih much ns It ahould lie. A climbing mhcIhihu over tho porch or a few dwnrf varieties In out of the way corners will add to tho color and beauty of tho yard. Thero are ninny other flowering shrubs, such n snowballs, syringing and lilacs, that can be used to till In empty spaces and conietn. A row or two of hnrd uinples or elms nlnng tho driveway, with a thick ever green windbreak to the north, will tin foil tlio supply of necessary trees un less thera nro corners or baro spaces about tho yards that will be better for a tree or .two.
