One of the most beautiful things
that can be placed about the home
is a well-kept lawn. The re-
quisites for a perfect lawn are a
deep, rich soil, thoroughly pre-
pared in fine filth. through mulch
ing of the ground after seeding,
a careful selection of good
variety of grasses, good drainage,
but avoiding washing; frequent
water and moving.
A very good mixture of grasses
is made by taking of Kentucky
blue grass, red top and perennial
rye grass each FIVE pounds; timo-
thy, three pounds; sweet vernal
grass and white clover each two
pounds. This (22 pounds) is
enough to sow half an acre.
The best time to sow is reason
ably early in the Spring, as soon
as the soil can be worked into a
fine condition. Care must be
taken to distribute the seed evenly
over the surface. This is essential
if good, even stand of grass is
secured.
Very little covering is needed
but in order that the seed may be
brought into close contact with
the soil, rolling with a light roller
will be beneficial.
If after the seed has terminated
we'll a mulch of well-rotted and
thoroughly fined manure is spread
over the surface, it will be found
very beneficial.
Care should be taken not to lei
the grass plants be trampled upor
until they are well established
and the soil is we'll settled.

In some sections the raising and
breeding of Angora goats are
doomed. Like the Belgian hare
that is being pushed by interest
ed parties, and the artichoke
mania that breaks out regularly
from time to time, the promoters
are too often the ones that make
the most money.
Still, there is no question but
that in some localities the rising of
Angora goats can readily be made
profitable. They are especially
adapted to rough, broken lands,
and will run and keep in good
condition upon poorer range than
sheep; in fact, it is claimed for
them that they will live on pastur-
age where almost any other ami
mails would starve.
They do not require nearly so
much attention and care as sheep;
they are more easily herded, as
they remain in one flock, rarely,
if ever, separating into two or
more punches.
AS they subsist very largely on
brush and bushes, they are not so
destructive to the range tor cattle
and horses as sheep are, while
they are more valuable for clean
ing up land of underground, weeds
and sprouts.
A greater per cent of the does
have twins, and on this account
increase in numbers more rapidly
than sheep.
They live TO a greater age than
sheep, the average being from
sixteen to twenty years, while
sheep usually live from eight to
twelve years. The mohairs fleece
is worth considerably more than
the wool fleece, and the pelts sell
for higher price.
These are the principal good
points claimed for them. From
this it would seem that, in some
parts of Missouri, they might be
made profitable, especially if too
much capital is not required to
make a start.

FOR THE FARMER.
Iron Weed IN Pastures.

Mr.. James M. Williams, Reynard,
Mo-, writes: II have sixty acres
in blue grass pasture that is we'll
set in grass, but is badly polluted
with iron weeds. l do not like to
break it up and cultivate it, but
do not know how else to get rid of
the weeds. / have tried moving
them when in bloom, but they
would come up and bloom and
seed again in the same season.
Twice l moved them in August,
and while they did not recover
that season, they came up again
as vigorous as ever the next
Spring. Can you inform me if
there is any way to rid the pasture
of them without breaking it upP
The only thing that can be sug-
gested in this case is to cut them
off in midsummer and salt the
ground where they grew quite
heavily. If the salt does not
poison them the trampling and the
close grazing of both cattle and
horses in the spots where the salt
was scattered would in all proba-
bility kill them out. This expert
ment would not be nearly SO
laborious or expensive as breaking
up the ground.
Our correspondent gives his
method of Kidding pasture of rag
weeds, as follows: Nov them
down two seasons in succession
just as they begin to put out the
tags" for bloom, and that settles
it with them, for few years al
least"
If Mr.. w. refers to the ambrosia
which is the plant most generally
known as "rag-weed," two success
i've mowings would naturally
conquer it. as it is an annual
growing each season from seed
while the iron weed is a strong
rooted perennial that appears il
the same spot year after year from
the same root.

in milk until soft and give it to
them. Then a little nav seed
may be given with either the
bread or the egg. 1t is necessary
to take little pains to see that
the little birds get what they want
to eat, as the old birds sometimes
neglect them. 1t is best to feed
them a little several times a day
rather than a large quantity less
often.
If the birds get mites on them

hot salt water and then scald it
with clear hot water. Dust insect

INVENTION AND WAR.

The contest in naval var science
between gun and armor is nov sup
plemented by one between torpedo
boat destroyer and submarine tor

ments BY the British Admiralty with
secret devices Tor destroying sub
marine bosts would indicate that the
DESTROYER has the advantage.

Export OF the experiments says. that
the means employed should be stated.
for the principle has other and varied
uses. But in general terms il may be
stated. that il is proposed that each
destroyer shall be fitted with crutch
upon which a boom forty-two feet long
works. This boom normally slows
inboard and forward AT the far end
charge of explosives is carried
which can be set of Ike all spar tor
pedoes
ON going into action the boom
is slung out well forward and miners
ed at the proper moment The i'm
mersion carries the boom end down
ward and aft and it is exploded di-
rectly the submarine boat is passed
The speed OF the destroyer carries her
past the center of explosion before
its full effects reach her. though in
any case the destroyers are too light
to be seriously affected
With the submarine boat it is diff
ferent. as il experiences the full force
of the conclusion. Within sixty to
one hundred feet or more of the cen
ter OF the explosion. according to the
charge employed. the sides of the
submarine boat should be compressed
sufficiently to cause fatal leaks. while
even at a greater distance stability
should be destroyed
When aerial torpedo machines-pre-
dictions of which periodically make
chill run along the vertebra of hui
manity-are invented the probability
is that they. too. will be met with
devices to make them as terrible TO
their manipulators as to the cities of
the enemy. II is likely that war will
have to cease in the hearts of men
before ii ceases in the earth. Inven-
ton may give it more and more va

SELF EMANclPATEo.

Porto Rico has nobly proved thus
early that il is not going TO be pau
per among the new possessions. The
Legislature OF the island celebrated
the 4th OF July by certifying to the
President that Porto Rico had ample
revenues for its needs. therefore had
no need OF the $500. 0Oo realized from
duties on Porto Rican merchandise
lying segregated In the treasury at
Washington. This certification has
the effect OF giving Porto Rico abso-
lutte free trade with the Union in ac-
cordance with this provision of the
Porto Rico tariff law of 1900;
And whenever the Legislative As
sembly Of Porto Rico shall have en-
acted aud put into operation a system
OF local taxation to meet the neces
sites Of the government of Porto
Rico. by this act established. and
shall by resolution duly passed so
notify the President. he shall make

all tariff duties on merchandise and
articles going into Porto Rico from
the United States or coming into the
United States from Porto Rico shall

The Porto Ricans have the sugar
lobby at Washington to thank for the
opportunity of thus demonstrating the
material resources Of their island for
the purposes Of self-government. Gen
erai Miles on taking possession of the
island promised It's Inhabitants Amer
lean rights. The President declared
that TO grant them free trade was
our plain duty" There was general
assent Of the people of the United
States 10 both propositions. Then
the beet sugar interest took alarm
and rallied a strong lobby at Wash
ington. and the ways and means com
mittee was induced TO demand a
Porto Rioan tariff as a warning prece-
dent To Philippine sugar. As an
eastern paper puts Il: They declar-
ed the Porto Ricans too poor to sup
port their local government in the
usual way. How men too poor to pay
taxes on their nxuries could pay tae
