More About Lawns.

After the seed has been sown for a
lawn the ground should be rolled and
watered regularly. 1t should not be
allowed to become very dry, and when
watered it should be thoroughly soaked
The rolling should continue every few
days after the grass has made some
growth. Moving should follow at regu-
lar intervals never letting the grass get

BIRDS TRAVEL ROUTES.

The routes by which birds pass 10
and from one country and another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol-
lowed. One great thoroughfare, of
course, IS III the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is southeast
to northwest; third southwest to north
east, with the return to the same start

tends to far beyond the equator. and

South Pole to breed. The seasonal range
limit of some of the northern breeding
birds is enormOus-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the same
range. some fly longer, some shorter dis
tances. The best known of all the birds
of passage, the swallow. has one of the
longest ranges-from 1000 to 10000
miles. In this extended range are also
included such birds as the gray plover.

Lawns.

The gardener who is an artist paints
picture with his flowers and shrubs;
and She lawn is the canvas on which he
paints. To he successful he must there
fore prepare his canvas well. The first
things to be done in making n proper
lawn is to grade the ground, smoothing
rough places, giving the proper level
stretches and gentle slopes. This work
varies. with the size of the lot to be
treated. If possible the lawn should
slope from the sides of the house. The
grading should be done so as to distrib-
ute evenly all surface water, avoiding
the formation of little runs which might
produce washouts.
If the soil is poor it should be enriched
by liberal supply of well rotted ma
nure, bone meal or other good fertilizer.
Manure sometimes contains the seed of
weeds, otherwise it is one of the best
fertilizers. The ground should he plowed

and the surface made as smooth asJpos-

One of the best mixtures for the lawn
is four parts Kentucky blue grass with
one part white clover sown not less than
five bushels per acre. Equally good re-
suits are usually obtained by the use OF
Red Top in place of the blue grass, OF
with equal parts of Red Top and blue
grass and little white clover. When
moisture is plentiful the blue grass forms
softer turf than the Red Top, but does
not seem TO endure drought as well. II
