FOR THE LAWNS.

Now Is the time to prepare your
lawns. An authority says: Fertilizer
should be applied to grass plots
which have been established few
years. and thin portions should be
resecded. If seed has been sown in
the fall for a new lawn, watch care
fully this spring. and reseed those
places where the first seeding fails
TO come up.
In making new lawn, great care
should be taken. Prepare the ground
as soon as 1t can be worked Grade
1t, smoothing over rough surfaces,
making proper level spaces and gen
tic slopes II possible the lawn
should slope away from the house.
The grading should be done to dis
tribute evenly all surface water.
avoiding the formation of little runs
which might produce washouts.
Enrich the soil with liberal sup
ply of well rotted manure. This is
essential where the soil is lacking in
humus otherwise bone meal or other
good fertilizer is useful. The ground
should be ploughed or spaded not
less than eight inches deep, all stones
and similar materials removed, Jumps
broken up and the surface smoothed.
Then 1t is ready for seeding.
Use a good lawn mixture. -Four
parts Kentucky blue grass with one
part white clover, sown not less than
1--WE bushels to the acre Is good Red
top instead Of the blue grass, or equal
parts of red top and blue grass, pro-
duce good results. Use plenty OF
seed and nothing but pure seed.
If seeds for the flower and vege-
table gardens are not already In the
hot-bed. or in boxes or pots placed
near sunny window, then the anna
teur gardner who wants to keep
abreast of his nelghbors when warm
weather comes, would better prepare
his hot-bed or boxes at once.
The simpler method of raising
plants to be set out after all danger
of frost is over, is to SOW seed in
boxes or pots to be kept indoors. The
boxes should have holes for drainage
in the bottom. but should not be so
open as to let the soil dry. Ordinary
garden soil may be used In the bot
tom. but on top there should be a
lighter soil. Small seed should be
sown on the surface; then fine soil
spread over them, and pressed. but
not so hard as to cause the soil to
bake. Coarse seed can best be
planted in little drills or each seed
pressed down into the soil and the
whole covered with a thin layer OF
earth. The soil should be gently
springled with water Immediately al
ter the planting Only the quantity
of water which the soil VIII readily
absorb without becoming soggy
should be given. The box should be
watered subsequently whenever the
soil becomes dry little below the
surface.
Set the box In the sunlight by the
window, but shield it from the direct
rays of the sun Keep the soil well
| stirred to prevent 1t baking.
For indoor planting in March, either
in the hot-bed, or IN boxes by the
sunny window. seed of the following
| flowers should receive their start. in
| order that good sized plants may be
ready when all danger of frost has
gone, and the beds may be made out

Dubuque March 2S.-ENpress COM
panies doing business in Iowa are the
subject of a formal complaint lodged
with the state railway commission by
business men of Dubuque.
For years there has been a general
complaint against the prevailing Gus
tom and practice of the express COM
panies but all circumstances and re-
quests for modification were met by
deaf ears. According to the complaint
the defendants have q certain territory
marked out in the city in which de-
livery is made without charge. Out
side of the lines a charge is made.
A letter to Attorney General Byers
accompanied the formal complaint
The substance of the complaint Is
contained in the letter which in part
follows:
Our chief ground for complaint Is
the refusal Of these defendant corpora
lions TO make deliveries without extra
charge to business resident districts.
centrally located, but outside of cer-
tain territory, arbitrarily fixed by the
express companies, in which free de-
livery is made to the consgnee. These
conditions have existed since Dubuque
has had express service, and as each
succeeding company entered the city 1T
adopted this Illegal and discriminatory
arrangement.
ITO show that unreasonable pref
erence is granted certain parts OF the
city, we have to state that deliveries
are made in some instances nearly
two miles from the express offices. and
in other parts if delivery a block or
two on one of the bluffs is, to be made.
the consignment is held subject to call.
or an extra charge made for delivery.
This is a fragrant violation not only
of the common law requiring express
companies to deliver or tender con-
signment to the consignee at his place
of business, but also by the great
weight of modern authority in Ameri-
ca. 1t is more particularly in violation
of the act to regulate commerce, as
we'll as in contravention with our state
statutes.
AS these conditions affect large
proportion of the population of this,
city, we believe you will readily note.
this complaint is founded on abuses
which merit speedy reform. To this
end we respectfully request you to.
give your attention to the correction
of this discrimination, and in any ac-,
ton you take, you may depend upon
the hearty cooperation of the citizens
of this city"
