MENDING THE LAWNS.

All the ugly faults OF an imperfect lawn
will begin to show about this time. If
you have any considerable area now where
the lawn Is either poor of growth or
choked by weeds, dig it up. The radical
way is the quickest and best. 1t will save
you from ''puttering'' work all summer
Go over the ground quickly. Turn it all
up with spading fork Rake out the roots
Of the weeds and burn them. Mix some
fertilizer into the soil and smooth it to the
level of the rest of the lawn by the sim
pie expedient of pulling long board or
straight stick across it. After all this is
done stamp 1t down hard or roll It. Then
rake it lightly again and let 1t lie for a
week or
BY this time what weed seeds were left
in 1t will begin to sprout and you can
clear them out easily. Now scatter in your
grass seed. putting it in thickly. Then
throw enough fine new soil over all to
cover the spot about an eighth of an inch
thick. Roll again or stamp it down and
continue to roll or otherwise press it down
during the week, meantime flushing it lib
orally at every conceivable opportunity
with the hose.

PROFIT FROM SMALL GARDENS.

1t is strange that 80 few people realize the
value of cuttings. Almost all cuttings will
take root if planted in cool places where
the hot MONDAY sun cannot come and
where the earth is rich. In my small gar
den. only 6Ox20 ] have a small patch be-
hind some Towering shrubs and partially
under small locust tree. The space is less
than ten feet long and about eight feet
wide II was in such an awkward corner
that the previous owners of the place made
1t with leaf mold, put in some sand and dry
manure to tighten it UP and stuck IN all
sorts Of cuttings from time to time. Rose
branches. trimmings from the privet
hedges branches from weigelias and dent
Zas, twigs from catalpas and naples stems
from choice geranfums. odds and ends of
everything from everywhere, went there.
Beyond watering the place with the hose
when the rest of the garden was watered
gave the patch no care except to hoe it
now and then TO keep weeds down. OF
course. lots of the cuttings died. But sur
prising quantity took root and grew.
Last year | sold eight rare plants which
had grown from cuttings there. Two We're
the very beautiful Japan hOneysucke,
which is famous for its flowers. Another
very fine woodbne. with exception
ally full large leaves There were three fine
varieties of roses. all of which grew from
cuttings discarded by friend and picked
up by me. In addition 10 all these, | raised
dozen geranius. and enough runners of
variegated honevsuckle to cover front and
rear verandas of NV own home and to give
some to a friend. The sales from the patch
Melted me S2.j0-not very much money, II is
true; but then ! didn't do it for money
and in no case had ! given more time to
the matter than lust the half minute neces-
tary TO stick the cuttings into the ground.

An Active Chest
Should be kept at all times, but il should
not require any effort, as ii is the result of
d proper education of the muscles to keep
il in place. Proper breathing tdiaphrag

There are many excellent foods that would
be detrimental If taken under certain condi-
tons and in large quantities.
There Was a Time
When growing girls life was sedentary
beyond what nowadays could be imagined
when she feared the fresh air and sunshine
lest IL coarsen her complexion. Mind and
body both need care and are interdependent
and overwork of either damages the other
and destroys the balance of the human be-
ing. Body includes the dwelling place of
mind
A poor body makes a poor brain, and a
poor brain reacts upon the body. All ordi-
nary hygiene must have for its object the
welfare of this all-important organ. In
considering the case of growing children
mothers do we'll TO consider to think of the
different special needs and special difficult
ties in connection with the different periods
of their lives. 1t Is most helpful to trace
out how closely related to the development
of the brain and nervous system Is each
period of life. Each period has its part In
building up character. and is capable of
producing either a crop of faults with ter
rible facility or of fostering the virtues
The brain has to grow at the same time
with the growing organization, and for this
| reason 1t is especially important that good
food and long hours Of refreshing sleep be
had.
