LAWNS AND PASTURES.
Best Grasses For seeding-Cheap and
Permanent Pasture.

The Ohio station has successfully es-
ing method: AS soon as the ground Is
dry enough to work in the spring 1T is
plowed and thoroughly pulverized by
narrowing and cross narrowing until
in the condition of a garden. Unless
the soil Is very rich it should be made
so, either by the liberal use of manure
or of complete fertilizer, the latter
being preferable because of the seeds
of weeds and coarse grasses usually
carried in manure.
A mixture of equal weights of Ken
lucky blue grass and redtop, with
pound Of white clover seed to bushel
of the mixture, is then sown broadcast
at the rate of two or more bushels per
acre of the mixed seed and narrowed
in with a fined toothed harrow. If the
bround should be vary dry, it may be
rolled as part of the preparation for
sowing, but the finishing touch should
always be given with a smoothing har-
row or other fine toothed harrow.
The reason for mixing the Kentucky
blue grass with redtop is that the two
grasses mature at different seasons, the
redtop reaching maturity some weeks
later than the blue grass, thus keeping
up a better succession through the sea-
son. while the blue grass is better
adapted to the drier and the redtop to
the moister portions of the land. The
clover is not only useful in thickenng
the Sod but by it's ability to gather nj
trogen it assists the growth of grasses
with which it Is sown.
For permanent pastures no better
grasses have been found by the Ohio
station than the varieties recommend
ed for lawns. Sown together they give
a succession throughout the season
and adapt themselves to differences
in soil, thus giving much better re-
suits than If either be sown alone.
The seed of these grasses Is relatively
expensive, however, and it Is more
economical to reduce the quantity of
seed of these varieties and substitute
moderate quantity of red clover and
timothy seed. The first year after
seeding the crop may be chiefly clover
and should be mown for hay. The
secoHu year u Will ne chiefly tlLuotHy Z,
and after that the timothy will grad
ually disappear and the pasture grass
es take its place. By this method Of
seeding not only will the first cost be
reduced, but the clover will serve a
most useful purpose in preparing the
way for the grasses which are to fol-
low. A mixture of equal weights of
clover and timothy, sown at the rate
of a bushel to six or eight acres and
cross sown with half a bushel to a
bushel to the acre of mixed blue grass
and redtop, the whole narrowed in
together. will make fair seeding.
The land should be MANFRED or ferti-
liked if not already rich, and here ma
nure is the better material.

year and plant food bought in this way
proved as cheap as it ever had been in
Vermont.
The farmer buying ton of the aver
age fertilizer on credit paid nineteen dol
lars to the manufacturer, the agent and
the railroad for making, selling and
freighting it. Some Vermont farmers
who have considered one dollar in three
a little high, have put some thought into
the matter and got quite little more
and generally better-fertilizer for
their money by buying the raw materials
and mixing them at home.

ed at the neck only and left to fall
straight down. 1t takes two yards Of
cambria or any other white cotton
goods to make a frock with deep hem,
but no tucks, for a child of 6 months
and on to 10 or II months. A little en-
broidery or, better STILL crocheted edg-
ing is put at the neck and wrists. Tiny
buttons at the neck in the back finish
it. To cut this needs no diagram. The
arm sizes are followed out and the
three inch shoulders very slightly slop-
ed and an inch taken out of the front
at the neck. Then it is ready to gather
and put the band on and sleeves In.
Those frocks where there is a yoke
are quite as easy to make. The yoke
may be cut after an old one, and it
opens in the back always. From the
yoke measure the length to the bottom.
1t needs two breadths, and two yards
will make the whole dress. Nainsook
costs but IL cents yard. Many ladies
have cambria skirts partly worn, and
such material is far better for the baby
than new. These frocks may be trim
med or featherstitched, but so many
are required to keep the baby clean and
sweet that it is better to have more
plain ones than fewer ones with trim
ming.
The only real difference in the outfit
of the child Of year and that Of the
infant of month is that the small one
has long clothes. The older one has
shoes and stockings instead of knit
socks. The stockings, in winter at
least, should be of wool and long and
fastened with side elastics.
For summer for babies over a year
and half the new long wasted effects
are suitable. To make such a frock
take one yard and half of nainsook or
other fine cotton or linen lawn and cut
it into two pieces and sew them to-
gether, and then lay clusters of fine
tucks all around lengthwise, letting
them end six inches above the bottom.
Finish this with row of embroidery
or lace. Sew a bertha at the top made
Of the material edged with the en-
broidery, and one row beneath that for
sleeves. Between the clusters of tucks
stitch rows of insertion. This is to
come but to the low waist line. A soft
ribbon sash is tied around the waist
low down. A smaller bow is in the
front of the neck. This little dress can
be used for model, and many varia-
tons can be evolved.
The newest style is to have the little
frock either depend direct from the
yoke or neck, without a waist, or to
have the waist come down nearly to
the hips.
Coats for such small children are
made on the Mother Hubbard plan and
should be warm as well as soft and
light. For every day there is nothing
to compare with a good quality of elder
down flannel. OLIVE HARPER.

has long sleeves too.
Small close hoods of lace, silken lin

Farming With Flesh md Blood

The last report of Consul Wildman
OF Kongkong, who was lost in the
sinking Of the ship Rio de Janeiro in
San Francisco harbor, makes it plain
that there is small show for American
agricultural machinery in southern
China. He stated that the agricultural
land there is divided into small hold
ings, many not over one acre in ex-
tent All cultivation and reaping are
by hand. Plows are most primitive
and of home construction. Labor has
almost no value, and flesh and blood
is the cheapest thing on the market

GOOD ROADS SPECIAL.
Novel Highway Scheme on the Line
of the Illinois Central.

of the Illinois Central.
A novel scheme of arousing n whole.
some and active interest in the con-
struction of desirable highways and
one which can scarcely fail to produce
satisfactory results Is that arranged
by the Illinois Central Railroad compa-
ny and the National Goods Roads as
ISOLATION. A train Of several cars, one
or more for commissary and dwelling
purposes and the rest for the transpor-
tation Of first class roadmaking ma
chi~-.y, will leave New Orleans for
Chicago with force of expert road
builders. At 20 or more places between
those two cities the train will be side
tracked and practical demonstrations
given In the art of making smooth,
hard and durable wagon ways. A
model road one mile long will be built
In each of the places at which the
train stops, and the residents of the ia
vored towns are to be called on to pro-
vide the material for foundation and
grading.
The coming of the good roads spe-
cial," as the train will be called, is to
be announced here and there along the
line Of the railroad by advance agents
of the movement, who will hold mass
meetings for the purpose of expound-
ing the advantages of highways that
are properly made and of proving to
the townspeople that the construction
and maintenance of such highways
constitute a duty which they owe to
themselves and to future genera
lions. 1t is expected that the arrival
of the train will be awaited with great
eagerness at the places it will visit,
and the promoters of the venture hope
that 1t will result in greatly stimulat-
ing the good roads movement, at least
along the route of the Illinois Central.

REPAIR OF HIGHWAYS.

Are Open to Traffic.

Should Begin as Soon ms the Roads
Are Open to Traffic.
The Massachusetts state highways
commission says that repairs should
begin the day they are opened to traf-
fc, and the attention which they re-
ceive the first few months of use deter
mines their usefulness and length of
life.
Accordingly the commission has
adopted the system of continuous re-
pairs, the cost of which "is about
equally distributed over the roadway
and roadside" Where the length Of
road warrants it the work Is done by
men who devote their whole time to it;
otherwise 1t is done by local men, I'M
der a division engineer, which proves
much more costly than the first named
plan. Thorough rolling with a steam
roller as soon as the frost Is out In the
spring and before the subgrade is dry
sis one of the best means of keeping
a stone road in good condition"
The report contains a table showing
the cost of maintaining roads by towns
prior to 1900, In 1900 and the total to
the close of that year, with the average
per mile. both total and for 1900. The
maximum expenditure for maintenance
was SG60.6S per mile per year for 1.G1
miles of road in Athol, or a total Of
81 ,254 since the road was built The
expenditure per mile in 1900 for this
stretch was $103.3S. Considering the
year 1900 alone the repairs per mile
of road ranged from 90 cents for POS
miles in Haverhill to SLIPS for 4.19
miles in Leicester.

A Big Yield of Celery.

Big Yield OF Celery.
The possibilities of all acre of celery
planted under the new celery culture sys-
fem are indicated by yield obtained by
Alfred 2. Edge of Hartford Co.. Md,
from small piece in his garden. He set
the plants in rows six inches apart and
three inches in the row, and in bed
54xGI feet got II rows of $50 plants each,
or a total of $3.50. He dug from this bed
1920 plants, which were sold and used.
He received sc each for 720 and &c for 1900,
making the income 500 from 1852 square
feet of ground, or about 1.125 of an acre.
At this rate of yield and price and acre
would give 277 500 plants and bring in
$4,000. 1t would not, however, be
practical to set an acre so thickly, for
paths would have to be left between the
beds in order to get around to care for
the plants.
After setting the plants on land which
had previously been heavily fertilize
they were irrigated frequently through
out the season, and one or two applica-
lions of nitrate of soda and boneblack
were given. The ground was also COW
cred with finely-sifted manure. The hoe
ing and wedding were done from plank
bridge, which was placed across the bed,
so that it was not necessary to step In
between the plants. In fact, on account
of the close setting it was impossible to
walk between the rows. Two or three
hoeings were given during the season.
The Golden Self-Bleaching variety was
used and blanchlng was done by setting
I'D Pinch boards around the outside OF
the bed. For early use two rows were
blanched separately and were covered
during the daytime with old carpet and
bags, which were removed at night to
give air to the plants-N. E. Homestead
