HOW TO KEEP THE
LAWN GREEN.
s-.s-s-s-s..s.s-s++|-t-s.L.s~s-,

Plenty of bones, plenty of cold
steel and plenty of water" replied
the owner of one of the finest lawns
within an hours ride of New York,
when asked what he used to make
such a perfect green carpet of his
grass. II give it an abundance of
nourishing food, never let it go
thirsty, and keep it well groomed.
Anybody can have good lawn who
will do that, provided the ground
was properly prepared at the start.
This is the time of year when atten-
ton to lawn shows. In June and
early in July most lawns are rich
and green, because showers are fire.
quent then; but in the hot, dry
weather of August and early Sep
tember, the lawn that Is not well
taken care of shows the effects of
hunger and thirst.
Il suppose that some men can
make better lawns than others be-
cause they love them,'.' he went on.
For my part, l think a great deal
more of my lawn than 1 do of my
house. If my house burns very we'll;

The smallest and cheapest country

are In good order. l give the same
attention to my grass that most peo-
pie give to their flowers and the
grass gives me more satisfactory re-
suits. 1t is a common saying, par
ticularly in England, that it takes
twenty years to make a perfect lawn.
Well, for that matter, the perfect
lawn has not yet been made. There

doctoring, some hollow that needs
filling. But a very handsome lawn can
be made in four or five years. This
lawn of mine is not ten years old
yet. No matter how poor the soil,
or how carelessly 1t mas been pre-
pared, proper attention will make a
reasonably good lawn. But a great
deal of labor and worry can be saved
by having things right from the
start Grass must have plenty of
water, but no stagnant water; there
fore the ground must be thoroughly
drained, either naturally or artificial
ly IL their is sand or gravel under
meath the top soil that will GIVE
drainage enough; but IL the subsoil
is clay, a good drain should be made
every fifteen or twenty feet.
after the ground is plowed, good
stable manure should be spread all
over it at least three inches deep and
narrowed in. This will sound ex-
travagant even to some makers of
good lawns, but they are not COM
PEELED to do it. l am only telling
you my way. We give that much
manure to vegetable crop that is
gone in a season, SO why not give it
to lawn that may stand for ages"

Ration For Sheen.

AS to the most desirable kinds of
feed to be used for a grain ration va
riety is the best. We know this from
our own experience, as we soon tire
of a sameness of diet; ii is also true
of our farm animals. When a va
riety is supplied, more food is con-
sumed and the better the digestion.
| have found, says a farmer in writ
Ing to Farmers Review, that an equal
amount of crushed corn, oats, wheat,
bran and oil cake best suits the taste
and requirements of the lambs and
gives good results as to the growth
and gain In flesh and fat; the latter
quality is especially demanded in the
early market lamb. / would then in
crease the crushed corn to the limit
that 1t would be relished, for a fat
lamb is far preferable to a lean one
of much larger size. But where the
lambs are to be carried through the
summer, for feeding the following
winter, then good size. growth and
stamina are required. In that event
would cut out the corn from their
ration for best results. But they
should be fed this grain ration, as
there is no time in an animals life
when as great returns will be given
for food consumed as when sucking
its dam.

Work For Educated women.

The demand for employment by
educated women is greater propor-
tionately here than in any other
country. Nowhere IN the world is
the dilemma of a woman accustomed
to luxury and suddenly thrown on her
own resources so distressing as in
England. This problem was dis
cussed yesterday at a great confer
enfe in London where representative
women of England, Ireland and Scot
land met to decide on the best means
TO help educated women to earn liv-
ing wage.
Lady Bective nleaded for the for
nation of London trades school for
women where education on special
studies could be combined with trade
training. Alice Woods, of the Maria
Grey Training School, gave some re-
suits of inquiries into the subject of
coeducation in America. She said
the custom had originated as a mat
tor of convenience, and 1t was an ex-
cellent training for girls. Regarding
the statements as to the effeminacy
of American boys she attributed more
to the great predominance of woman
teachers than to the presence of girls
In the schoolrooms.-New York Sun.

pathetic toward the young duchess,
who is not only a general favorite,
but personal friend of the Queen as
WELL Life has not dealt as well with

she was full OF enjoyment Of every
thing; now she is saddened and not
strong, and she seeks a retirement
that her deafness almost enforces.

she has her two sons for half the
year, and she has many interests;
her embroideries, her books and her
spaniels. but 1t is all very different

achieve distinction in politics, and
that she hated to see the untitled

ceived through falling down stairs on
the company's premises while trying
to extract her purse from her stock
ing.
Without wishing to carp at the de-
cisions of these wise tribunals, we
would respectfully submit that there
is a good deal to be said on the other
side. Mere man, we admit, does not
and would not carry his purse, II he
ever had purse, In his sock. But
then mere man is reasonably provid-
ed with pockets, whereas It is noto-
rious that the feminine pocket is
either absolutely non-existent or abb
surdly non-practical - a standing
temptation to the thief and exposed
to perpetual risk of the accidental
loss of its contents.
Albeit, the failure of woman to
provide herself with a rational pock-
ct is one of the strongest arguments
against her claim for the franchise.
A sex which cannot take care of its
purse and has only the most elemen-
tary notion of pocket of its own
ought not to be permitted to assume
the control of the public's purse and
pocket.-New York World.

saint 1t Awful, Afabel,-

What Is an unfortunate judge to
do when a lady refuses to pay for a
supply Of 'chemises" specially mad
for her, on the ground that they do
not fit? In the case OF other and
more exterior garments there are
plenty of legal precedents. The lady
retires to the judges private room--
alone, and presently emerges clad in
the disputed garment, in order that
His Honor may Judge for himself as
to its approximation to the human
form divine that is underneath It,
But chemises!
Such was the problem before an
Eastern judge the other day. Well
might he exclaim What ara to do
In such case as this? Gun try a
Jacket on and say If 1t fits, but how
can ! fit on these thlngs?" And then
his feelings got the better of him and
he groaned, Really, YOU ladies, this
Is too awful for words. am very
much afraid shall have to refer THIS
case to some one who is older and
wiser than | am. 1t is far too deli
cate for me-" Eventually the irate
ladies were persuaded to talk the
matter over among themselves and
try to reach some agreement. Other
wise the court would have to appoint
a lady arbitrator and abide by her
decision. The Argonaut.

School to Cure shyness IN RoynIty.


Why is It that the young English
Princes, and especially the Prin-
cesses, are SO shy? Is 1t the manner
of their education? BE that as It
may, | understand that Princess Mary
of Wales, like her two brothers, will
be sent to school instead of being ed
ucated privately. This great depart
uro from tradition in the case of the
ladies of the royal family is due to
the desire of the Princess of Wales
that her family should be. free from
the painful shyness that makes the
lives of some other members of the
royal family something of a torture.
The Princess holds that this excessive
self-consciousnas Is due to the pri-
vate education of the royal children,
and that 1t can only be avoided by
bringing the royal children into free
contact with their contemporaries
The King and Queen fully approve of
this departure, as they are quite con-
scious of the harm that has been done
to some members of their own family
by unnecessary seclusion and exclu-
siveness.-New York Herald.

Glover Disease.

The bulletin of the Tennessee sta
, ton, just published, in reference to
the disease bywhich clover crops fails
is as applicable here as there, and we
give its summary as follows:
/. The red clover crop of this
State has been very uncertain for a
aumber of years
2. The failure of the crop is due
in the great majority of instances to
a new fungous disease caused by Col
letotrichum trifolii.
3. The disease belongs to a class
known as anthracnose, whose gen.
eral character is well known to plant
pathologists.
4. So far as known no cultural
methods of handling the clover will
prevent or even appreciably diminish
the ravages of this disease, and 1t an.
pears to exist on every kind of soil
in Tennessee.
8. The same disease also attacks
alfalfa, but to what extent in this
State is not yet known.
G. Alsike clover is almost abso.
lutely immune to this disease.
Z. Occasionally healthy plants OF
red clover in badly stricken fields in
different parts of Tennessee have pro-
duced in the second generation plants
I which were strikingly resistant to
the disease. Whether this resistance
will be maintained to future genera
tions can not be foretold with cer-
, tainty.
3. While the effort is being made
to secure a supply of seed from such
plants 1t must be distinctly under
stood that no such seed are as yet
ready for distribution, either by the
Tennessee Experiment Station or the
U. s. Department of Agriculture.

Value Of nye as a Grecn Crop.

While nitrogen is the fertili1ing
element most easily lost from man
ures and soils, ii is the most expen-
sive, costing almost three tlmes as
much per pound as potash and phos-
phoric acid. The readiness with
which nitrates are washed out OF the
soil during heavy rains when the
ground is thawed. suggests that dur
ing the period of such rains 1t should
be covered with some catch crop,
which will feed upon the nitrates
brmed and store nitrogen in its It's
sues. For this purpose rye is an ex-
eelient crop and is much used. While
1t adds no nitrogen to the soil which
is not already found therein. as Grim
son clover does. 1t is a much surer
catch than the former and is thor
oughly hardy. II forms quite root
system during the fall. starts off
early In the spring and by ordinary
planting time forms heavy coat OF
