Making a Small Lawn.

How to make a lawn which shall be
satisfactory is question which troubles
a great many. Digging, piowing and
sowing grass seed often prove most I'M
satisfactory in results; the grass is often
coarse, very unlike what we buy the
seed for; the sod is very uneven hum
mocks OF grass roots occur here and
there. with lower places between, as
unlike a good sod as can well be. At
the best ii takes several years toget any
thing like fair sod and lawn where
we depend upon seeding. There may
be, ard probably are, faults and mis-
takes in attempting TO make the lawn,
which could be well overcome and a
very different result be obtained. We
may never expect TO obtain satisfactory
results unless the nature and compost
ton of the soil is evenly alike over the
whole lawn, and then it must be worked
and treated evenly alike. Poor spots
must have extra treatment to make
them nearer equal to. the best. eitherb by
extra fertiiizing, better working, or by
adding new and better soil from some
other source The soil must be OF like
depth, richness and composition, and
be worked equally thorough in all parts,
making the surface we'll puiverized.
Then the seed will start and grow even
and alike, and, il treated annually TO
top dressing of manure. and frequently
cut during the growing season, Il good
and permanent sod is easily Obtained.
The most satisfactory result that l
ever obtained was from the following
course in the case of Il small lawn or
door-yard,' as called in former DAYS:
The ground was evenly and well worked
and made rs near uniform as possible.
Then from the roadside i cut sods of
even size and thickness and carefully
laid them over the whole space, being
careful to match and lay close up where
the pieces joined, SO that when the
whole was finished one would hardly
believe it to be a new-laid sod. OF
course great pains were taken IN select
ing the sod TO have it, all alike well set
with grass. This was done in the
spring; perhaps fall would have done
as well. After laying the sods the
whole was well watered with a sprinb-
Ter, the result being that we had
good, handsome, smooth sod, well set
with Just the sort of grass desired. and
likely to last, probably, for lifetime,
always provided it is properly treated.
Ii one has only limited area this will
prove one of the most satisfactory meth
DDS. Sods from an old pasture are as
good, and oftentimes better, if one can
obtain them; they can be cut byhorse-
power with an implement adapted for
the purpose, cutting the turf in strips of
even thickness and width, and leaving
it in its place ready to be cut 10 lengths
and carried where needed. Perhaps |
should have said that my experiment
was made on a rather light sandy loan.

Southern California.

Southern California is DESTROYS of
setting up in business on its own ac-
count 1t complains of the 800 miles
journey to the capital, Sacramento. and
hnds fault with the legislation enacted
there because it fats to take the eli
mate. soil. pursuits and needs OF the
southern parts OF the State sufficiently
into consideration There is wide
difference in these respects in different
parts of the State. In the South there
is little rain, often not more than a few
inches throughout the year. Bee cult
ure and sheep raising, the orange, lime,
vine, salmord and various other semi
tropical fruits flourish there. In the
north there is usually rain enough in
winter. and sometimes too much. Min
ing and grain-growing are largely con-
Quoted there. These Interests exercise
more influence in the Legislature tn ian
those of the south do. The southern
part, OF the State would like to, but can
not, get State aid for artificial irriga-
ton. For these reasons secession
movement has been under way, and
mass meetings are being held. One
obstacle to success in the movement is
the lack of population. A State of
South California would have a popula-
ton of less than $1,000 inhabitants. and
its government would be an expensive
luxury to the people. But it would be
good thing for ofiice-seeking politicians.
