necessary to grow oats, wheat Or some
grain crop on the lawn in order to

is sown in the fall, at which period of
the year the rains are usually plenti-

that seed sown in autumn fails if a
plentiful supply of seed be used and
the ground properly prepared,
1t is customary to use mixed seed
for lawns, which is proper, but some-
times too many kinds are used, and the
best grasses are crowded out by those
not so desirable. Blue grass alone
makes an excellent lawn grass. but blue
grass and white clover, equal proper
tions of seed of each, is sufficient, and
| the seed should be used liberally, four
ounces to the square rod not being too
much, as some of the seed will fail to

will destroy proportion. The lawn

if very large) and raked over until the
soil is made as fine as possible. Lime,
at the rate of forty bushels per acre,
should be broadcasted over the plat,
and the seed sown. The ground should
| then be simply brushed over, so as to
barely cover the seed. No other work
will be necessary until spring, and the

If the drought is continued, it takes
new life after the slightest shower.
1t is not so easily injured by tramping
as are some other grasses and does
not grow in stools, or tussOcks, as is
the case with orchard grass, and its
appearance is a dcep green. White
clover is also hardy grass, and as its
leaves differ entirely from those of
blue grass, the two kinds answer all
the purposes of lawn, and will thrive
well together
The fall is the time to manure the
lawn, as the frost will pulverlze the
manure and rendcr it fine. If fresh
manure is applied in the spring, ii
will sometimes do injury, unless be-
fore frost disappears. The manure
used in the spring, If any, should be
well rotted. Rcsced all bare places as
soon as the grass begins to grow, and
in April apply wood ashes literally, as
both blue grass and white clover de-
light in lime and potash. Do not be
tempted to NOV the grass too early in
the spring, but give it time to become
well rooted before the first cutting.
Moving will then keep down the
weeds. An application of saltpoter
early in the spring, at the rate of "A

advantageous. Philadelphia Record

COTTON-SEED OIL.
The Great Diversity of Purposes to Which
1t Is Adapted.

1t Is Adapted.
Although in view of its immense
consumption any lengthy dissertation
on the origin, properties, etc, of cot
ton-seed oil would be entirely super
| huOus, brief recital of chief charac-
teristics would form avery proper per-
face to our article. Produced as it is
| from residuum that was formerly re-
garded almost as a waste, cotton-sood
oil hus already risen in Importance
above the position of mere by prod
uct; its value nowadays is considered
by the cotton-grower just as carefully
as the cotton itself, and the sale of the
seed from which it is obtained by
pressure constitutes a by no means in
considerable addition to the planters
income.
Cotton-seed oil is probably used at
the present time for a greater diver
sity of purposes than any other oil in
the world. 1t is an admirable article
of food, and enters into thousands of
food preparations makes the finest
of soaps for toilet and manufacturing
use, is employed with excellent success
as an illuminant, makes an unsur-
passed emulsion for pharmaceutical
preparations, and is substituted sue
cessfully for cod-livcr oil. In the me-
chanical arts it is used as an extractive
of odors from flowers in the manufaCt-
ure OF perfumes, in candle making, for
tempering steel, and, under certain
conditions, as lubricant. When we
state that on an average 800. 900 tons
of cotton seed or more are used every
year in the production OF the 5000. 900
gallons of oil we consume, the impor-
tance Of the industry may readily be
imagined.
In its manufacture upland cotton
seed is preferred as furnishing a
lighter colored and purer article than
the sea-coast cotton-seed. which, like
the seed of Egyptian and Indian cot
ton, yields darker colored oil with
more strongly marked flavor. The
seed is crushed, yielding dark brown
ish-green oil, having specific gravity
of about 1924. which is treated with
alkaline solutions. The clear yellow
oil obtained is odorless and favorless.
and has the same specific gravity as
the crude product; the residue is used
as soap stock. The refined oil, which
boils at about 600 deg. F.. congeals at
about 50 deg. for summer and S2 deg.
for winter-pressed oil.
Its employment in the mechanical
arts has satisfactorily demonstrated
that In the manufacture OF nuts, bolts
and pipe cutting, ETC., it can be en-
ployed to better advantage than any
other lubricator, and 1t has come ex-
tonsively into use for this purpose IT
