and good seed is used one can rea-
sonably expect good stand and a
good crop of hay the first year. The
real object of pairing the sod before
burning is to effectually kill the wild
grasses by exposing the crowns OF the
plants so that they will be burned
and DESTROYED. This is not accom-
plished so effectually by burning the
wild hay crop in the month OF Aug
ust. as the enquirer's friend advises.
Much of the wild grasses will appear
for at least a few years after SUCH
burn. and there is more or less dan
ger of the wild grasses getting pos
session of the ground again. However,
the writer would much prefer this
plan to that of blowing to depth OF
five or six inches and undertaking TO
make a suitable seed bed afterwards.
In such case when the blowing is
done during the late spring, summer
or early fall months the harrow should
follow the pillow very closely, and plow
and pulverize at the same time, and
before the plowed land becomes dry.
Regarding the quality of the grasses

Grass Questions by New Conner.

Grass Questions by New Conner.
H. Skouge, a subscriber at Matsqui,
B. c.. sends The Ranch a number of
questions of great Importance to new
corners. He writes:
I intend to have broken up some
land this summer and seed it in with
clover and timothy in the fall. Soil
is practically level, and is peaty
mixed with clay-old bottom of the
Fraser river; big crops of slough or
swamp grass and blue joint on the
land. Sod is rather thick.
Now. would it be best to have the
breaking done about the middle OF
June to inches deep, or below the
sod. and pillow the grass down with
end of a chain
Should the land be disked at once,
or would it do to disk and harrow in
the fall-in August or September-just
before seeding? Should the ground be
narrowed again after seeding, or is it
all right to let the rain take care OF
the covering?
| am a beginner, and wish to learn
how this should or might be done with
good results AS | have not yet got
horses and implements of my own, L
should have to hire them to get the
work done and therefore like to get
through with as little hiring Cor
work. as would be practical. And for
that reason I should like to know, if
the advice given by an old farmer,
can be expected to be good. He said:
"Cut the grass some time after the
first of August, when the ground is
dry. After couple of days burn the
hay; disk twice, crosswise, harrow
and SOW; then go over lightly with the
harrow again" He claims to have
done this himself with success, and
says that the wild grass will be killed
in a couple of years, while at the same
time the ground remains smooth, and
the old sod rots just as fast as when
plowed only once. If this be really
practical, it would, of course, be a
great saving to me.

CITY MAY LIGHT
STATEN ISLAND.

Comptroller Metz is in favor of
trying at once the experiment OF mum
icipal ownership of street lighting in
Staten Island. He believes that the
failure of H. II. Rogers's company to
carry out it's contract gives New York
city ample excuse to refuse to renew
it's contract and splendid chance to
experiment with municipal ownership
without interfering with vested
rights.
Mr.. Metz is chairman of commit
tee of the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment appointed to investigate
the conditions of which the Staten
Island people complain. He said that
the committees report will be ready
to submit to the board at the first
meeting in November, and it will re-
commend that the city erect light
ing plant and do it's own lighting in
the borough.
I'VE shall have to do something"
he said, and that seems the most
feasible plan. If that does not work
we shall have to get the companies
over here to bid on supplying the ISL
and. They would only have to run a
cable across to Staten Island to sup
ply all the lights that are needed for
years to come, and think they would
be glad to do it.
II do not know whether it makes
any difference as to where the blame
lies, but the company down there has
ben blamed and may deserve it. AT
any rate we have now contract with
them that protects the city, and i'm
poses a suitable penalty for their fall
ure to light the streets, whether it is
their fault or not.
IF they fail to light the streets for
any length of time they lose money
enough to make it hurt. ! held up
this contract for time, because they
had not carried out former contract,
but | signed it finally, because | saw
it was the only way to get any lights
at all for the people down there. This
contract expires on May l. After
that any time the city wants to make
another contract or build its own
works 1t can do so.
. Il think the companies here would
rather give us lights for Staten Island
at loss than to see us erect city
plant; so it is possible that it will not
be necessary to build one. Whatever
is necessary will be done. Those peo-
pie are entitled to lights and they
must have them"

woMANs CODE OF HONOR.
Little Sense of Justice and Fair Play,
 Especially Toward Other Women.

The sense of fair play Is in the majority of women conspicuous by It's absence
 In her dealings with man she sometimes exhibits vague feelings which might be defined as an elementary sense of honor, writes Beatrice M. Hay Shaw in the Lon don Express; but toward her own sex she does not trouble to sacrifice her own inclinations even to this small extent
 A woman will sometimes keep a mans secret even after she has quarrelled with him; she very infrequently respects the confidence of her dearest female friend, even during the existence of that friend ship. while at its termination she is only too ready to make use of anything that may have come to her knowledge if it can In any way injure her friends rep utation, and she is not by any means careful to keep within the bounds of strict accuracy in such statements.
 And yet such is the curious nature of woman that while totally disregarding the rules Of fair play on the one hand she is on the other often quite capable of prov Ing devoted friend to her own sex In different ways
 She will criticise another womans looks, clothes and manner in the most cutting way; but let that woman be i'll or unfor- tunate, she will nurse her devotedly and give her every possible assistance. She will rob her with her tongue and at the same time give to her with her hands.
 Woman has no code of honor, no sense of fair play. She follows her own in- clinations and her own sweet will, un- trammelled by the laws which bind her brother. She never feels "a mean hound' if she Intentionally or inadvertently frus- trates another woman's hopes. Instead she feels rather a sensation of pleasure at having got the better of her friend
 This curious attribute Is never more clearly exhibited than at the much abused sales" A woman may be hesi- tating over the purchase of a gown or a hat. She may even be merely looking at it, but let another woman come and in- quire the price and the first woman will smmediately purchase the article rather than let. the other one nave it, and not because she has any real desire to pos sess 1t herself e
 A man in the same position would wait and Jet the first conner decide whether or not he wished to purchase the article before he made any move to do so him. self but should he have betrayed and de- cided desire to buy it the first would i'm mediately move away and leave the ar- ticle to the other. even though he might really wish to buy it.
 AS In their social dealings with their own sex, so in their business relation ship women are unguded by any sense of fair play toward one another. A wom- an-not always a poor woman either, often her purse is well filled-wiil go to dressmaker and order a certain gown. On being told the charge she immedi-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-09-16

ately begins to dispute the price Having
 succeeded in beating down the modiste
 to the lowest possible figure she will go
 away happy.
 In due coures the gown is sent home
 with the bill. No acknowledgement or mo-
 tice is taken by the recipient until the
 modiste, becoming anxious writes a po- lite request for a check. whereupon the lady writes back to say that the dress does not fit, that certain alterations are
 required and that she will call. She does not call and the modiste writes again and receives the same reply, until at last threats of proceedings are writ ten, and the owner of the dress, as- suming air of injured innocence, de- clares herself insulted sends d check, and announces her intention of employing some one else in future. Meantime the
 dress is entirely worn out and the game l begins again
 Some women make a regular practice
 of this kind of thing, and in many cases manage to evade payment altogether by finding imaginary faults in the garments supplied. Thus they not only deprive a fellow woman less fortunately situated than themselves, who is working for her living, and often seriously injure her bus-
 ness reputation merely to satisfy their own meanness and desire to be well dressed on as little outlay as possible man goes to tailor. If he orders suit he rarely bubbles over the price asked, and if he is unable to pay the bill when 1t comes in he frankly admits tho
 fact, but he does not say that the suit is
 misfit and the tailor a bad tailor who
 does not understand his business. Even l though he may never pay for the suit, he will always acknowledge that it is an ex- l cellent one
 Feminine justice and fair play are not proof against criticism
 It is this lack of a code of honor and fair play which initiates against any ef- 1 fort to induce women to act for the com bined advantage of the seAssn generaI ! They will undersell each other evs- l though by so doing they are working to | their own individual disadvantage in the 1 long run. They will work for themselves and for their men kind. They will not
 work for their own sex. This is a fact admitted by those who have attempted tc
 form womens unions of any sort. Their deficiency of a sense of honor toward one | another and the general welfare of a com munity foredooms such efforts to failure 1 in almost every case. ss....
 Women are imbued with an innate dis l trust of one another which 1t will take centuries to eradicate. Up to the present I day in spite of advanced education and the 1 freedom and emancipation of modern women their progress toward a code of I honor and fair play among themseves | has been in a backward direction, and un- | til this is altered women will never be capable of acting as useful and efficient l citizens, members of parliament or in any other responsible position to which their
 ambitions may be directed. At present if
 female suffrage were granted the majority

Good Stockings.

From the Mothers Magazine.
 The one thing in which a mother oe straitened means should try and avoid economizing is stockings. No matter how many rows of insertion or how many dain- ty tucks you put in your little girls dress, if her ankles are not neatly clad, the whole effect Is spoiled. Cheap stockings are always poor economy and not all mothers seem to realize how prominent ana nos,-aable are these sturdy under standings Or their children few years ago there lived neN~ door to me a family in which were seven youl-ss neople. They were not well off. It is doubtfui lt .h a two youngest little girls ever knew what II was to have a dress bought from the store expressly for them. But their feet and legs were delight to beholdi So neatly clad that one never noticed the carefully mended dresses above.

of women would vote for the member whom somebody else with whom they had quarrelled did not wish to see elected.
 Women have Influence, but they are not yet fit for power, and until recognized code of honor and fair play, such as seems to be as innate in the opposite sex as it is lacking in ours, prevails among them they never will be-
