Care of the Lawn.

A lady subscriber in northern III
lnois asks number of questions.
for answer to some of them l beg
to refer her to January and Febru-
airy issues of Farm and Fireside.
She says she has recently added to
her lawn a bit of land about fifty
feet square, and she would like to
have it covered with blue grass as
soon as possible. She would sod
it over, but unable to obtain suf-
ficient sod to do this, asks how to
seed it.
II the addition to the lawn were
larger l would suggest seeding with
blue grass and red top, then now
ing with sharp scythe severa
times the first season. For small
area know of nothing better than
to cut blue grass sod into small
squares sy two or three inches across
and set them twelve or eighteen in
ches apart, pressing or tamping
them down into the soil, which has
previously been madn mellow to a
depth of three or four inches, then
smoothing the whole over. If the
weathe ris dry they should be wa
tered several times during the early
part of the first season. The little
sods will spread rapidly and almost
cover the area the first season and
Will make perfect sod early the
i following season

not very short the first year. !
have moved these tracts with a
sharp scythe rather than with a
lawn mower. because the latter cuts
too closely. This clipping causes the
roots to run farther and the sode
to spread more rapidly. In no case
should the blue grass be allowed t.
grow up and mature seed.
AS to flower beds on lawn the,

but It is next to impossible to keel

Manifest Destiny in the Pacific.

The address of the Chinese min
lister, WI Ting Fang, at the gradu-
ating exercises at Champaign, Of
the University of Illinois, is one OF
the most notable addresses yet heard
on the changes impending in the
Pacific. Minister WI recognizes
the position OF this country and
looks to it to hand across the Pa
citic the torch of civilization which
has been handed to us by Europe
across the Atlantic. China and the
United States have the longest coas
line of any of the nations fronting or
the Pacific. China's whole foreign
trade at this time is but one dollar
per capita, fact that proves the
greatness of the field there for com
mercial development. Minister WI
sees in our acquisition of Hawaii ant
the Philippines and the presence o
a large fleet, a willingness to shoul
| der sponsibilities in the cause O
peace in the Pacific and to prepar,
for the day when, as Minister w,
sees it, the commerce OF the chic
ocean will match the greatest eve
known in the Mediterranean.
Such friendly expressions from
| China's official representative ar
greatly TO be valued. AS time run
on the far-sighted genius of the lat
Secretary Hay in regard to China
other nations Of the far east, and tn
open door, will grow in national an
historical appreciation. The feelin
OF China for this country is unus
ually friendly and it is for statesme
to maintain and promote the senti
ment. How far the ancient east ca
ever be an extension OF the course O
empire that for ages has taken it
way westward, is a problem that tim
alone can tell. But America and Ash
can be friends and commercially in
innate without trenching too fal
on race and social traditions, habits
tastes and tendencies. Minister WI
address, both in matter and manner
was on the highest level of amicabl
craftsmanship.

A Woman Governor,

Queens have ruled many nations,
but Pennsylvania is the only one of
the United States that ever had a
woman governor. "A passage re-
Gently unearthed from Armor's
Governors OF Pennsylvania" page

ION the 3Oth day Of July, 171s,
William Penn died, at the age of
seventy-four. By his will, his wife,
Hannah, was made sole executrix,
and assumed the management of
colonial affairs, executing the diff

ness capacity. She became says
Watson, in effect our governor, rul.

lie American natlOn mas the repu-
tation of wasting almost as much of
its resources as it uses. Facts are Of
ten advanced to show that there is
much truth in such a statement.
a practical paper maker recently
called attention to a few of the
sources of enormous waste when
speaking of the number of materials
in America refuse heap which are
worth while considering as a prom
Using substitute for wood pulp.
The northwest annually produces
million and a half tons of flax
stalks which are not now used for
anything. That great amount of
| waste remains after the twine max
ers take all they want. 1t makes
excellent paper.
The farmers in the South burn
pillow under thirteen million tons of
cotton stalks every year. That which
Is plowed under is not wholly lost
| for it enriches the soil to some
extent, but not so with what goes
up in smoke.
Five hundred thousand tons of
fibre have been adhering to cotton
seed every year. 1t has been fed to
farm stock along with the seed and
has done the stock no good. Cattle
and sheep do not like the fibre and
the seed cake is better without It.
y machine has been invented. which
lii is claimed will separate the lint
from the seed. Paper makers think
they can use il.
/ Nobody knows how many million
tons OF corns,alss go 10 waste; but
in quality they are far ahead of the
cotton stalk. and ii is believed they
can be made into paper, although j;
has not yet been done on a CONNER
cial scale. Thousands OF acres o:

bidders use thousands of tons OF
strawboard. The straw which goes
TO waste in western wheat fields
would bring fortunes if made into
paper.

ANOTHER O. X.

For the next little while Rapid
City will have some advertising of
the kind that counts. Over one hun
dred delegates t the meetings of
the State Association of Congrega-
tional churches have practically dill
of them returned to their homes in
every corner of South Dakota and
are telling the folks there about
Rapid City, its people and its sur
roundings. From expressions let drop
the impressions received while in
our midst were mostly very fatter-
ing to the community and when con-
veyed to others should prove to be
the medium of some first-class boost
ing.
Within the next couple OF weeks q
greater number OF people are due
to hear more about the Black Hills
and Rapid City in particular than
ever they heard before and an inter
es, in this section of the state is
sure to be awakened. We looked
good TO the delegates and now they
will tel! the folks who stayed al
home why this was the case.
With few annua. meetings and
conventions in our mids. from time
to time, Rapid City will never want
for boosters to carry her fame far
and wide. We have the things here
to enthuse over and the newspaper
men and politicians, when they
come in July. will discover this fact
in the same way our clerical friends
have done and some more good ad-
vertising will result This idea of
entertaining conventions is an ex-
ceHent one, and The Union hopes the
good work will be kept up.

GOOD CHOOSING.

One of the great national conyen-
tons has transacted its business and
passed into history leaving TAFT and
Sherman to head the republican
party at the polls next fall and prob
ably for the next four years. The
republicans chose wisely in select
ing the big secretary of war to sue
coed that most remarkable chief ex-
ecutive, President Roosevelt, and
despite the insinuations that Sher-
man is a vested interests man,
the chances are more than even for
him standing for the common peo-
pie when the occasion demands.
The personally approved candA-
date of Roosevelt, William Howard
Taft, starts out in his campaign Cor
the presidency with an asset that
means much for his success. Mr..
Taft is greatly different in DISPOSE
ton than his sponsor, but is none
the less a fighter. His methods are
not SO spectacular, but he gets there
Just the same, and the famous
Roosevelt policies are certain not to
suffer at his hands. Taft has his
work cut out for him and it is a
safe wager he will be on the JOB all
the time, quietly but steadily ac-
complishing the tasks that may come
to his hands.

A CITY PARK.

A valuable asset to any town or
city is a public park. The town
booster who paid us visit last
week said so, and before his advent
among us, the same idea already
awned upon a number of Rapid City
ans but unfortunately the project
has never gained much Roadway,
even though the need for a NUM-
cipal recreation spot has been stead
lily growing since the plan was first
thought of.
Several locations have been point
ed out as available for park pur-
poses and of these one or two es-
pecially commend themselves. The
creation of an artificial lake could
easily be brought about by proper
ly damming waters OF the creek, and
with the lagoon for a nucleus, a
park could be laid out, that would
do it's share to boost Rapid City as
a delightful place for the establish
ment of homes.
The value of city parks is appeal
munities and we should not fall be-
hind in matters of this sort, especi-
ally when nature has been kind
enough to so arrange it, that the i'm
provement can be had at compare
lively small cost, if present condi-
tions are taken advantage of. Some
definite step should be taken in the
direction suggested Immediately. A
niche in the local hall OF fame
awaits the individual who either by
his cash or his energy secures for
Rapid City its much needed public
park.
