There is no sane, economic reason
why there should be wars. They are
economically wasteful. They have

very attractive by making a nice
lawn and planting few trees and
flowers. The lawn is the most essen
tial and the most difficult undertaking
on the average town lot. The ground
is often not very good; 1t is mixed
with cellar earth and rubbish that is
not well calculated for a good seed
bed for grass. 1t is easy to put the
ground in proper shape, however, If
the job is started from the bottom.
The ground must be plowed deep, and
thoroughly worked, to get the objec-
tionable grass roots out of it. The
condition of the soil will determine
whether to seed the first year or the
second year If there is no humus in
the soil, it will pay to cover it thick
with coarse manure, and plow it un-
der. This. again, leads to complica-
tions in the moisture problem; but if
you have a hose attachment, you
can easily keep the ground moist. The
top two or three inches of earth must
be repeatedly worked with disk har-
row or some implement, every otner
day for week or two, to kill the
weeds as they sprout; then. if the top
is well mixed with a good commercial
fertilizer, the grass seed may be sown,
and you have a lawn that will last
as long as you want it, lawn that
will be green when others are parched
with sun, lawn that will look vel
vety and add ten or twenty per cent
to the value of the property.
This is a secret that not many
householders understand. 1t is not

month. The house has not improved
with age, and he is continually look
ing about to better his condition, but
can find no other property that suits
him 80 well or that he can rent at
cheaper rate in proportion to the
advantages he now has. He has paid
enough rent to buy the house, to pay
all street Improvements, city taxes,
insurance and repairs. He tells me
he was offered the property years ago
for $4,000, which he thought was too
much money. The lot itself is worth
more than that today This is only
one of many similar instances that
have come to my notice. 1t is not al
ways that a neighborhood improves
so rapidly and substantially; but. gen

A simple little house like this is
very much like going back to first
principles, but it furnishes accommo-

elaborate affair. We all have ac-
quaintances, especially among our
older friends, who commenced life as

who lives in rented house seldom
