An expert says the best butter color

Many persons, especially in suburb
an localities attempt too much in the
way of flowers on the lawn. Large
plants are not admissible, except as
single specimens here and there. A
single small bed filled with low-grow-
ing plants, nicely arranged and well
attended, presents far more attract

small place verandas or porches mas
be covered with handsome climbery,
and so may trellises be used to shut out
unsightly objects.

Many intelligent farmers have come
to the conclusion that for hoed crop.
manure should be spread all over The
land, and that if anything is placed ii
hill it shall be very small quantity o.
some fertilizer that contains plant fooc
soluable in water, so that the plan
can derive immediate benefit from 1T
and consume it before the roots extenC
beyond the hill, and before the manure
spread broadcast has become decom
posed sufficient to form plant food.

more butter, more money, better time!

alive with beetles, and after one dos,
not a single live one could be found
and besides it benefits the plant.''
If the lawn is not looked after i,
inevitably gets ragged. The grass
will die out in places, and bare spot!
will appear. These may be raked o.
hoed to a good filth and grass-seee

and bet:er filed by grating small
pieces of sod therein. The best plan
however, is to graft in 4 few bits O.
sod, and also SOW seed. One will hell
the other.
