The gospel OF the perfect lawn includes
deep soil, the proper grasses and frequent
moving. In making a lawn too little
importance is usually placed on thorough
trenching or Subsoillng AMI enriching
the land. The surface should be har-
rowed and hand raked until it is in the
finest condition. As to choice OF seed,
this must vary som ewhat with locality
and special conditions. Every scotsman
has his own special mixture, aud a very
general one consists in red top aud Ken
lucky blue grass, in equal proportions,
with four or five pounds Of white clover
to the bushcl. TIE seed is sown broad
cast, when there is no wind, and lightly
rolled in. This IN brief is the usual
plan.
A method brought 10 notice by J. 8.
Olcott, Of the Connecticut Experiment
Station, and described and discussed at
the last annual session of the New jersey
State Horticultural Society, is as follows
Prepare the ground the same as described
for seeding down. Tnen a selected sod
of fine variety of Rhode Island Bent
grass is taken and divided into single
plants of one or two spears and these are
in rows nine inches apart aud also nine
inches between the rows, thus requiring
sixteen plants to the square yard. These
plants are pressed firmly into the soil aud
afterwards the whole surface rolled with
a hard roller. The after care consists in
keeping out every weed and plants of
white clover, etc.
In three or four months, it is claimed,
the ground will be entirely covered with
a short, thick moss Of grass. During the
summer an application of from 200 to
400 pounds Of nitrate of soda to the acre,
applied in from three to four sowings,
will give the plants fresh start and cause
them to assume bright green hue. If
these directions are carefully carried out
there will be no need of weedy lawns
and the general complaint that grass
cannot be made to grow under shade
trees according to the advocates for this
method 1t must be explained that
Rhode Island Bent grass usually seen
has long runners with the plants far
apart, somewhat like the strawberry run
ners, while in the peculiar variety IN
question the plants cover the entire run,
ners and show no naked stems. The sea-
son for planting by this method may be
either from September to November, or
from the last of March to the first Of
June.-New York World.

TO DRESS A BEEF.

A slaughtered beef may De dressed In
this way: AS soon as it is dead the car
cass is turned on its back and the hide
is slit up the belly, without cutting
through into the interiors. The knife is
passed from the brisket up the forelegs
to the knee, and this joint is separated
and left in the hide for the present. The
hind legs are treated in the same way.
The skin is then stripped off as far as
possible to the back aud round the neck.
The carcass is then raised partly so as TO
remove the skin from the rump and
down the back, and, as is necessary, it is
raised more until the head is free of the
ground, when the hide is completely re-
moved, and the head is cut off. When
the carcass is half raised it is opened
and the intestines removed. It is then
hoisted up, and washed down with cold
water and left to hang until cool. 1t
may be desirable to split the back bone
at the shoulders and open the carcass to
hasten the cooling. When well cooled

LARGE AND SMALL FARMS.

Man, persons could better their 6nan-

from much worry and vexatiou if they
would put the brains, labor and manure
on five acres that they now distribute
over forty. It is not true, however,
that every farmer can do better o1 a
small farm than on large one. 1t re-
quires different order of intellect, and
III some ways larger intellect, to sue
coed with the small farm. Any success.
full gardener knows that it requires more
brains to market his crops proitably than
it does to raise them. In other words,
the small farmer, if be expects profitable
returns for his work, must have the
qualities of a successful merchant and a
skillful farmer.-Chicago Times.

MANAGEMENT OF WORN OUT LAND.

There is a natural fascination about
the attempts to take what is seemingly
worthless and give it value. Either it
is this, or the fact that poor land can al
ways be bought cheaply and usually on
the easiest terms makes poor land sale
able when property that was certain not
to pay in years Of any other character
could not find purchaser on any terms.
But in most cases, cheap as the poor
farm may seem, that in high state of
cultivation will be really cheaper, what
ever the price asked for it. The cost Of
bringing up poor land to the point where
it will begin to pay is always greater than
is expected. The land that is now pay
ing can generally be depended on to
pay under good management as we'll as
it has done. 1t has a recognized value
that can be determined. If the poor
land is bought it has to be experimental
with, and possibly money has to be sunk
before it can be made to pay. The old
saying, to him that hath shall be given,
and from him that hath not shall be
taken away what he seemeth to have, is
quite as true of land as it is of people.
Fertility tends to make fertility even
more surely than does money make
money.-Boston Cultivator.

SETTING AYLES,

In setting axles for carts and carriages
the heels should be triie wider apart
at the top than at the bottom; also
gather a little in the front to prevent
pressing on the linchpin OF nut holding
the wheel on the axle. In the carriage
trade these variations from a straight
line are called the "swing" and
"gather." The latter Is the forward
inclination of the spindle relatively to
the general line of direction Of the
axletree. The swing is the outward in
clination of the top of the wheel, and is
to meet the requirements of the couical
axle, so that the bottom edge Of the
spindle snail ride about horizontally.
