Rints ON Lawn Making.

In making lawn it is well to recol-
lect that the work is TO be done for
many wears, and that in no part Of tire
grounds will thorough preparation,
deep filling Of the soil. and abundant
tertilizing, pay better than here. In a
avn of n considerable extent, it is a
mistake to suppose that it is necessary
70 reduce the surface to dead level.
For small grass plots, on small places,
This may be desirable, but large lawn
appears TO much better advantage if
The surface is gently undulating. Var
lous mXtureS Of seed are offered by the
seedmen. Some of these seem to be

suited to our climate than the French
Lawn Grass" can not be imagined.
Probably not third of the kinds Of
grass it is said to contain will survive
IN our climate. The best lawns we ey-
er had were sown with kentucky Blue
Grass and "Rhode Island Bent Ca
variety OF Red-top), in both cases a
small amount Of "Whte Clover was
added, For strong soils, the former,
Tor light and sandy ones, the latter, will
no doubt give satisfaction. In buying
grass seed for Il lawn, look well to its
quality. Some seed of Kentucky Blue
Grass (the same as June Grass sells
Tor twice the price of others, and is
worth four times as much Chaff does

should be carefully inspected The adj
vice TO use from three to eight bushels
Of seed to the acre, is founded upon the
uncertain quality Of the seed. Probably
four bushels of fairly good seed would
be ample. The seed should be divided
into two or four equal portions, and the
sowing made, after thoroughly prepar.

History Ranaats Its.lf.

The world moves, but very slowly;
how slowly, we were shown, the other
day, by copy of the New York SIN OF
lS49. 1t was very ancient and musty
paper, looking It's full age of "a years;
but had it been new and clean, il might
have been handed to nearly any one
and been read through and through
without his discovering that the news
in il was more than century old.
The leading editorial is on "Our Ma
wy which department the Sm at
tacks vigorously as utterly unsatsfac-
tory and inefficient, and consisting of a
lot of "old tubs The article might
be reproduced to-day without the
change of n word, and no one would
detect the anachronism.
The foreign news is almost identical
with that published in the Times Demo-
crat this morning, with only few
changes needed in the names. From
Ireland comes the story of restitution
and starvation-it was soon after the
great Irish famine--of plots against
Great Britain, of revolutionary socie-
ties organized. and haIf-starvcd Irish
men being shipped to America by the
British Government, seeking to stop the
famine by depopulating the country
In France it was during the days of
the second republc-there is the same
story OF quarrels and abuse among the
various factions of the Republicans, the
same hostility of the Reds to the Con-
seryatve Republicans, and the same
imperialistic plots against the govern
mcnt
A revolution fills up the South Am
erican column, while home affairs con-
Sist of the usual damages TO life and
property from spring floods, and the
usual exciting election news, with a
large vote polled and big maiorities for
the Democracy,
The world certainly moves. During
this period of thirty-fourycars the geog-
raphy of Europe has been materially
changed, Two united nations, Ger
many and Italy, have sprung into life.
France has changed her government
twice, and yet Europe has cot around
to pretty much the same condition she
occupied then. In this country a
mighty civil war has been waged,
race has been freed and made citizens,
and the whole constitution of the coun-
try has been changed; and yet so does
"history repeat itself the SIN furnish
es to-day pretty much the same news as
in lS49.-NeW orleans eS-DGm0crat.

Three Acres Of Errs.

A Santa Barbara fisherman has dis
covered, near San Miguel Island
smaller island, about three acres in ex-
tent, which is probably the largest nest
OF eggs in the world. The island is coy
cred with a layer of guano in which sea
fowls OF all descriptions were found
laying or incubating their eggs The
surface appeared to be almost entirely
covered with eggs, principally those Of
the sea gulls, shags, and n small bird
known AS the saltwater duck. The dis
coverers said it was difficult to walk
without hcading upon the eggs, and

Stata Agricultural Collaaa,

The annual report of the trustees and Off
GERS of the State College of Agriculture is
published. The year just closed is character
lied as one of earnest purpose, hard work and
substantial. results. A military instructor has
been assigned for duty at the institution, and
G lbert M. Gowell, Esq, late President of the
Board of Agriculture, has been engaged as
superintendent of the farm. Courses of wise
work and forge work have been maintained
during the year under great disadvantages for
want Of suitable accommodations, without ex
pense to the State. except q small sum for
instruction. During the coming year, the
President says, the State must provide better
accommodations or this work must be given
up. The necessities of the college for the
next two years are tabulated as follows: To
pay the debt incurred during the past two
years. $1,000; for instruction, $2500 per year,
$4,000; to build and equip shop, $500; for
gas apparatus, $1,000; experiments, $3.50 per
year, $500; apparatus for the several depart
ments, $500; repairs, $500; insurance, $780,
travelling expenses of Trustees, $500; total,
$4,000. Six thousand dollars of this sum is
to provide for wants that should have been
provided for years ago.
This institution has all endowment from the
national government of 1882 800, yielding an
annual revenue of about $780, 1t has re
ceived from the State $751;, 218. 1t has build
ings, grounds, library, apparatus farming
tools, stock, &C., valued at $145, 000 1t has
required from the State, in addition to the in
come from the national endowment, less than
$500 year for the purposes OF instruction
and for all current expenses, and has gradu-
ated $50 students and given instruction to 201
other students in special or partial courses
varying from single term to three and half
years. The present freshmen class numbers
| Is, number estimated at less than one-half it
would have been if free tuition had been
| maintained.
A comparison is m ade with sixteen other
| colleges which are distinctly agricultural, or
| agricultural and mechanical in character, and
shows that the average value of their grounds,
buildings and apparatus is 1922, 1904, while the
| grounds, buildings and apparatus of the Maine
| State College are valued at $145, 900; the aver
age of their productive funds is $27S,743
| while those of our own State College are $780,
| 500; their annual income from productive
| funds is $18,333, while our State College re-
| ceives from a similar source $500. Little has
| been done during the year toward the proposed
| enlargement of the endowment fund, and the
claims Of the college upon the State are urged
| upon the attention of the members of the
| Legislature.
