Top Dressing for Lawns.

A fine grass lawn is one of the greatest
ornaments to the pleasure-ground, should
have some little care bestowed upon it at
this season Grass long laid down, and
constantly kept closely shorn, if not ma
turally very fertile land, wears out, and
should have a dressing each winter of well
rotted manure. Poor sandy soil requires
it more especially, and on which it can be
laid without stint. If the grass is already
very thick and close bottom, such mater
ial should be selected as would puverize
very fine and work completely into the
sward But if yet rather rough, it is not
of SO much consequence, as what such
lawns require, is something fresh for the
grass roots TO work up into. On lawns
away from the dwelling, or not much seen
in the winter season, it may be allowed to
remain undisturbed and nearly covering
the ground. Prominent places, on the con-
trary, should have fine dressings, and work
in if the weather continues open. When
the frost leaves the ground in the spring,
everything likely to get in the way Of the
scythe, must be cleaDly raked off; and il
not well set with blades, should have some
red top and white clover sown aud worked
in with the rake. Rolling has much to DE-
with an even surface, and especially in tht
spring it cannot well have too much of it
both for the looks and the facility of NOW.
