we mention the Importance of keeping the
bushes along the side Of the fences either
in field or pasture, and along the brooks
and hedges, cut down. Dig around the
stones, on the cultivated land, where nei-
Their pillow nor harrow have been able to
reach, and keep the fence corners clear
of weeds. Sec that the stones which may
have fallen off the wall, and are in the
way of the scythe, are laid back. Clear
up along each side Of the highway which
runs by your land the roadside adds
or detracts from the appearance Of the
farm. Set trap at the woOdchuck holes,
as these pests will make bad work with
the beans and the clover. Or, what is
better, put a Maynard rife in the boys
hands, and let him hide near the hole,
Just at sunset, when these animals always
come out. 1t will add fun to the boys
life, and if he has sufficient time to prac-
tice, perhaps may rid you Of the trouble
some creatures. Keep the shed or yard
where the cows stay nights, and also the
piggery, we'll supplied with muck, or the
best quality of loan. Watch the fruit
trees with sharp eye for caterpillar
nests. Do not fail to give attention to
the garden. Ii is an invaluable resource
to the family table. Remember that lit
tie things in the aggregate make the large
ones.

1 Jelret Turf.

Grass Is the groundwork Of all rural
beauty. Having grass and trees you may
lack everything else and still have sur
roundings that will charm the eve all
summer long. Without grass the rare
flowers and choice shrubs will be like
precious stones that have no setting
Make your turf good, then, to start with.
Ii Is not our purpose now to speak OF low
seeded lawns, but OF such old grass-plots
as are found in every village more or less
weedy, and moved by hand two or three
times in the season. How can we change
these to a velvet turf, soft to the foot and
grateful to the eye? The secret is an
open one and is in two parts constant
moving and constant dressing. Let the
lawn.mower run over it each week land
oftener early in the season. and then
watch carefully for the weak and weedy
spots. The latter may need the knife
few times to get out the tap-rooted weeds,
but the mower will gradually extinguish
the rest. Then follow with barrow Of
fine compost, or even fine dirt, and wher-
ever the grass does not grow well, or the
ground is uneven and Of heavy clay that
cracks Under the midsummer sun, there
spread it on, working it down to the roots
with the edge of the shovel. If there are
large trees in the yard the grass under
them will show the effects Of the root
robbery beneath, especially as the sum
mer heats increase, and whenever you see
such a spot growing brown and sere, at
once administer the earth medicine.
1t is wonderful how quickly the turf
responds to this treatment, growing thick
aud soft under he foot and of rich dark
green to the eye. The cut grass may be
left on the sod as mulch for the roots.
If any shows two days after moving it
must be raked of or it will kill the grass
instead of protectingit. Sometimes there
will be bare spots or weedy spots that
need more heroic treatment. Cut them
out entirely and put in fresh turf. Seed
ing down will do if you cannot get sod,
but it will take two years to get it into
good shape.-Christian Union.

Timely York.

There are certain seasons Of work which
demand the entire attention Of farmers,
and which they attend to with promptness,
such as planting, hOeing, haying, harv-
esting. No urgent word is needed to
remind the farmer Of being in time with
such work. But there are several other
things, which are in themselves important
and which bear an important part ip
good farming, that are more likely to be
neglected. Indeed, we have observed
that with the shiftless farmer, or the man
who has too many irons in the FIRE. these
things, which We call timely work, are
seldom attended to. Among the many
