ATTRACTIVE FARM LAWNS.
There Is No Reason Why Every Door
Yard in the Land Should Not
Be Beautifed.

Nothing so beauties a dwelling as
to be set in the center Of well kept
lawn. There is no reason why the
farmer and his family should not en-
joy the possession of an attractive door
yard, since every facility is at hand
for grading, planting and keeping
pretty lawn. The dwelling should, ii
possible, be located on a slightly ell
evated knoll. but often the site has
already been selected and the building
erected in which case it may be neces-
sary to grade to the desired elevation.
One can not endure low sloppy door
yard, hence the ground Immediately
around the house should be higher than
at the outer edge of the yard. Early
spring is the best time to SOW the grass
seed. Kentucky blue grass is gener-
al favorite for lawns. This should be
very thickly sown to produce mat the
first season. If, however, one sue
ceedS in getting a fair, even stand,
he need have no concern regarding the
lack of density as this grass thlckens
up from year to year. In arranging
tlC ld"N, nave very lew ohi uoo VI
trees in the center. There should be
planted at the outer edge, preferably
at the rear and sides of the building.
Do not obscure the view from the road
way. If there are unsightly buildings
screen of vines run on wire trellls
will be found effectual in hiding them
from the occupants Of the dwelling as
well as from passers-by. \ very pref
ty effect may be had by planting
few beds of profuse boomers of diff
ferent colors very near the house, at
the ends or side of the porch or around
the bay window Provision may be
made to have these beds in bloom from
early spring to late autumn, by using
bulbs for early spring blooming, an
nuals for summer, and chrysanthe-
NUNS, cosmos and other autumn
blooming plants. Their beauty is en-
