which is fine and continues green long
time, and will grow in the shade of
trees. Red top and white clover may
be added Sow at least five or six times
as much as farmers give to their grass
lands. 1t should not be moved closely
the first year, or before well established.
A more speedy way of securing
lawn, where the surface is limited, is by
turfng The work, however, must be
well done or it will be rough and lumpy,
like Fig. /, which representa- section of
a badly laid turf. If properly performed
it will be smooth and even, as shown in
Fig. O. To secure this smoothness the
turf must be cut from a compact pas
ture, in squares, with accurate sides, and
made uniformly thick before laying, by
inverting upside down on board and
shaving with sharp hoe, as shown in
Fig. 8. Lay these accurately on the
well prepared deep soil already described,
early in spring.

condition. Sometimes the ground can be
prepared and sown early in spring, if the
soil is dry, or it may be best, in case of
wet weather, to delay the seeding even
till autumn The work Of preparation
may be done by hand or by subsoiling
and narrowing with horse power, ac-
cording to the amount of land.
Country Gentleman gives the follow
ing advice about preparing lawn for
seeding and also for turfng, explaining
it's suggestions with the cuts here repro

To make 1t sufficiently rich, finely
broken manure must be worked in
through the soil; this will aid in giving
a green lawn in times of drought. The
application of pulverized lime, at the
rate of a peck to a square rod, will be
useful, if we'll narrowed or raked in.
The grass seed should be sown on finely
pulverized, smooth, mellow surface, and
brushed or rolled in, SO as not to bury
the seed over half an inch, and warm
and moist weather will soon give the
new green carpet. The best grass is

we sowed them.
Parsnip-One ounce to 200 feet of drill
is recommended; 1000 feet of drill of
Holland Crown took ounces Of seed, or
an ounce to $50 feet of drill. The sowing
was made in very hard ground, where a
thick growth of seeding is necessary in
order to break the crust. Yet the SOW
ing proved over twice too thick.
Carrot-One ounce for $50 feet of drill
recommended; 566 feet in hard ground
used II ounces Of seed, or an ounce for
over 377 feet of drill, and even then they
were much thicker than desirable.

Seed for Given Length of Drill.

In bulletin sent out from the Michi-
gan agricultural college is furnished the
following relating to the quantity of seed
for given length Of drill. These guam
titles, it will be observed, are less than is
usually recommended by seedsmen:
Peas-One quart to 100 feet of drill
recommended; $50 feet of drill used four
quarts of McLean's Advancer, or one
quart to every 212a feet; $50 feet of
American Wonder required 81 quarts, or
one quart to about 245 feet of drill; $50
feet Of McLean's Little Gem used three
quarts, or one quart for every 283s feet;
$50 feet Of Cleveland's Alaska required
three quarts, or one quart for 2035 feet.
The following figures will show that our
sowings were thick enough: One'pint Of
McLean's Advancer contains | 900 seed.
A pint sowed a trife over l06 feet of
drill, giving over IS peas for every foot
of drill or a plant every four-fifths of an
inch.
Radishes- One ounce for 100 feetof drill
recommended; 600 feet of drill, sown
thickly to Early Long Scarlet Short Top,
required 0s ounces Of seed. In this
case the figure is not extravagant.
Beets- One ounce to so feet Of drill
recommended Long Dark Blood, Eclipse
and Bassano each required ounces of
seed for 334 feet of drill, or an ounce for
834 feet and the sowing was much too
thick. An ounce of Long Dark Blood
beet contains about 1900 fruits or seeds,

INSTRUMENT TO RELIEVE CHOKING.


cording to Professor Simonds 'the
amount of danger in cases of choking
may be mostly calculated by the abdomi-
nal distention; for death results from
the lungs being unable to expand, in
consequence of the pressure of the rumen
against the diaphragm. In many cases,
prior to relieving the patient, the gaseous
compounds which are disengaged from
the ingesta and distend the rumen must
be given an exit by puncturing therum
to prevent suffocation.
In the cut is shown the instrument to
be used, which consists of q probang and
gag, the latter to be placed in the mouth
as shown. Two assistants are required.
One of these should be placed on either
side of the animal, holding the handle of
the gag, which protrudes from the side Of
the mouth, with one hand, and the oppo-
site horn with the other. The head
must also be kept elevated so as to bring
it as nearly as possible in a straight line
with the neck.
Professor Simonds' instructions for
operating are as follows:
The probang being held as represented
is to be passed through the opening in
the gag and carried carefully over the
dorsum of the tongue into the pharynx,
and from thence pushed inward until
it reaches the obstruction. Sufficient
and well regulated pressure is now to
be made until the obstruction yields,
when it is to be driven by tho
instrument into the rumen. Care should
always be taken to propel the OBJ
structing substance into the first stom-
ach, and we should never rely on the
power of the oesophagus to do this after
wc have succeeded in removing it from
it's original situation. Want of attention
to this simple rule has often protracted
suffering to the. animal and not unfre-
quently death. The probangs in ordi-
nary use are seldom Of sufficient length,
nor are the bulbs with which they are
tipped of proper shape. The instru-
ment should not be less than six and
half feet long, and the bulbs should be
large and slightly cup shaped.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-02-20
How to Make Lawns.

A lawn, to be at all satisfactory. should
be on soil made rich, mellow and fine
to depth of, say, foot and half, and
of uniform condition over the whole ex-
tent. This enables it to withstand consid
cradle drought and insures an unbroken
expanse of green sward, with none of
those dry, brown patches which are
found on poorly prepared land where the
grass fails to grow evenly. In many
cases under drainage is necessary before
the ground can be brought to the right

The School and Liquor License Funds.

An impression has prevailed that the
passage of the high-license liquor law
would add something to the school funds of
this city, but an examination of the act
shows that whatever additional revenue
may be gained from it will go to the gener-
al funds of cities and Incorporated towns,
unless the councils ofsuch cities and towns
see fit to give their schools part OF the
whole of such proceeds. The act increases
the limit of liquor licenses in cities to $3.50,
and in incorporated townst $3.50, but makes
no change in the way of diverting license
ices, and the only way in which the schools
in such cities and towns could be benefited
by 1t would be by some act of the city or
town authorities. Superintendent Jones.
when asked about the purposes of the
school commissioners, said he did not know
that any request could be made to have
the Council set aside any portion of the in
creased revenue expected from the new law,
but thought it would be a good thing if
some portion of it conld be used for the
schools. The only help" he said, that
the schools of Indianapolis got
from the last Legislature was
the act permitting us to issue
bonds for new school-hOuses when they are
needed, and to fund our floating indebted
ness. The library fund was helped by Civ
ing us authority to levy two-ffths of a
cent, instead of one-ffth, for library pur-
poses, but the bill increasing the limit of
the general school levy in this city from 20
to so cents failed -
