any other crop, and the effect is as'onish-
ing. saw a piece that had just been
served 90. The sward, OF course. was
broken in streaks. and the grass seed was

ken strips had been stretched and moved a
little, so as to expose the old roots a little

neighbor Of mine had pair of working

covered that part Of the yoke resting upon

Easy and Rapid Way Of Sowing Plaster.
When I SOW plaster, instead Of setting
