TIE GRASS CROP.
How to ThIcken Up Meadows % ~ to
Secure the Best Results.

1t is always an item to secure the
largest possible yield from every crop.
This is the case in the garden with fruit,
small grain or cultivated crops as well
as with the pastures and meadows. A
good even stand Of grass growing In
reasonably rich soil, will yield not only
a much larger quantity. but under av-
erage conditions the quality will be
much better. .e..
After the crop is taken of is good
time, not only to enrich the soil, but
ais, to drain where necessary and 70
thicken up the thin places.
Too much water standing during the
winter Is almost certain To kill otit the
grass or II moist and low the grass is
liable to grow coarse; in very many In
stances draining will remedy.
Thin places can often be thickened
up by narrowing thoroughly so as to
even up the surface OF the soil and then
scatter seed over these places. This
ought to be done reasonably early, es-
pecially if there Is a sufficient amount
Of moisture to induce good germ ina
ton SO that q good growth Gun be So
cured before cold weather sets in.
A little work spent in this way will
often aid materially to increase the
yield Of grass, and is ms much OF an OBJ
ject to secure the best possible growth
of grass as 1t is Of any other crop in the
farm. Grass both during the summer
and winter is cheap food provided fair
crops be secured, but II good crops be
secured it is just as important TO have a
good soil and a good even stand as it Is
with any other crop grown upon the
farm and some pains are necessary 10
secure it. sr..-I
Properly cared for good meadow or
pasture can be made to promise good
crops for quite number OF years, but
care must be taken TO apply plenty OF
manure so that the fertility of the soil
can be kept up and when from sry
cause the grass ever gets partially
killed out care should be taken to re-
seed.
While rs rule rotation should be
followed up with nearly all crops, in
some localities it will pay 10 keep land
in grass n long time, as long, in fact, ms
profitable crops can be secured. And in
order to do this II will nearly always
pay to take good care Of them. After
harvest is completed there Is usually
some spare time, a portion of which can
very often be used 10 good advantage
in the mcodows. securing az large Q
yield as Poss.ble.--N J. Shepherd, IN

THE FEMALE DENTIST.
A Profession in Which Several Women
Have Achieved Gratifying Success.

1t is said that the most successful
dentist in London at present is a Ger.
man Baroness, who is the cleverest
tooth extractor in England. That is her
branch OF business, and "dental sur.
geon" she calls herself, the other den.
lists sending their patients to her when
| extreme measures have to be taken.
The female dentist is just beginning to
appear over the professional horizon in
this city, and believe on the whole she
is a success. A man / know lives in Il
clearinghouse and tells me that lone,
unprotected female who sat opposite
him at table greatly aroused his curios.

ner, but she never dropped the smallest
hint of how she occupied the long hours
between the two meals. She seemed to
be successful at whatever she did,
for she was always well dressed and
seemed TO have no anxieties of n
sordid kind. He noted many
times how large and powerful her
hands and wrists were and puzzled him
self greatly as TO how she used them.
She was always thoroughly up with all
the news and gossip of the day, and
was ready to talk with the utmost free
dom on any such general topic, but tho
moment matters became in the smallest
degree personal she promptly retired
in her shell and pulled the shell in after
her. Finally he happened In rather an
out Of the way part of the town to see
her name in gilt letters on the edge of
the window, as the doctors put up
theirs, only after it it bore the letters,
ID, II. s., and then he knew how to ac-
count for her powerful wrists and her
reticence. He enlarged on the German
Baroness at dinner that night, and she
looked up quickly, laughed and owned
up. She confessed that he father had
been dentist and from her childhood
she had maintained the greatest in
terest in the subject, so that her
father taught her all he knew.
After his death she went to Paris to
stndy and now has been for two years
working on such teeth in Gotham as
are presented for her inspection. She
said: "In the old heroic days of dem
tistry, when main force was used and
anguish was the natural concomitant,
women had neither the Drawn nor the
nerve for the work. but since the intro
duction of all sorts of machine appara-
tus milder methods and cocoine have so
ameliorated the profession it is one
women are eminently capable of filling,
as well as the teeth. There are four or
five female dentists in New York and
most of them are doing a good business.
A great many women prefer to come to
us. and we are, believe, peculiarly
successful with children, because we
understand better how to manage them.
