ron Your GRAD. WeIl.

The effect Of rolling is to crush down
the bigger plants that flourish among
the grass and to injure the grass itself
but little. The bigger plants are mostly
weeds, which, if allowed to grow I'M
checked. would soon choke the more
slender grass.
If footpath across a field becomes
disused, it will be found that the grass
which grows up in its place is of far SUI
perior purity to that in the rest of the
field. Constant pressure has stamped out
the roots of the weeds and left only the
pure grass.
Another advantage of rolling is that it
makes the grass grow more thickly. The
ground becomes intertwined with a net
work of plants, and when this has been
going on for 80 years or more that rich,
velvety turf is produced which can be
found alone in old park lands that have
lain undisturbed by the plow for many
years in succession.

Akers were always such great friends

"I'll tell you,' said Carter. II didn't

'---- He HAD BEEN TO SEA.
But His Experience Didn't Fit Him
For Sailing Yacht.
A government official tells this story OF


yacht:
Mr.. Allerton built himself fine coun-
try house on the shores of Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin. 1t was as fine as anybody 8
home in that locality. When he had the
house about finished, some one told him
that he would have to have yacht, not
one of the modern steam yachts such as
you see down east, but sailing boat.
He ordered one made and was up at the
lake when it reached there. He was
very proud of his yacht, and although he
had never been on one before concluded
that he would like to take sail right
away. In his younger days he had gone
fishing time or two in canoe and in
that way had learned the rudiments Of

the helm. Looking over the group of
loungers that had gathered about, he
shouted out the inquiry:

! We can handle her"
The sails were set, the boat released
from its moorings, and start was made.
The wind was directly offshore and
blowing brisk. Mr.. Allerton enjoyed the
sensation hugely and congratulated him
self on the Investment he had made. He
was sailing directly before the wind, and
he doomed ahead in splendid style. BY
and by they approached the opposite
shore. and, after making several frantic
efforts to change the course of the boat
Mr.. Allerton called out to the coloret
4 man who had been to sea-"

, angrily to the colored man. who dragged
himself drippingly after him. and said:
