thickly in the fall. When this has
been done. rake Il of as early as pos
sible In the spring and SOW your grass
seed over the bare spots as soon as
the manure. has been raksd Of. Horse
manure is better than COW manure
for almost any garden or lawn pur.

porous, warns up quicker and Its fer
tilizing elements are much more
quickly available Be careful about
the sources from which you secure ma

which will take possession Of your

excellent plan to roll the lawn thor

In a reasonably moist condition. The
rough places will be leveled, the whole
sod will be smoothed. and better con-
nection will be formed between the
sod and the water contained in the
subsoil.
AS soon as the snow Is gone and the
sod Is firm enough to walk on, 1t
should be raked thoroughly with an
iron rake, to remove the dead grass
and leayes from the roots Of the grass.
Be careful not to drive or walk on the
lawn at any time when It is soft
enough to show the tracks. as an ir.
reparable amount OF damage can be
done in this way. ,.
The grass should not be cut until II
has secured good lush growth. but
after the first cutting and throughout
the spring months. 1t should be kept
trimmed short and the clippings should
be caught in carrier OF your mower
so as to prevent them from covering
up the growing grass. After the
weather becomes hot, and particular
ly II 1t is dry. II is not well to cut the
lawn SO often. as the sun Is liable &c
kill the roots II they are too much ex
posed.

Improve the Lawn.


The custom OF covering the ground
about our homes with grass sod or
lawn is n very old one. Lawns are
mentioned In one way or other In the
histories OF practically every nation
with which we are familiar. In early
days they were used only by the
mighty In the land. the reigning fam.
lilies and the nobility. principally be-
cause no one else possessed sufficient
land to grow grass or anything else
on.
Probably these lawns we're rather
rough In contour, and We imagine that
they were not Of very great extent,
as they had to be clipped by means Of
sickies or hand shears. Later on In
England and France 1t became custom
airy to pasture a flock Of sheep on the
lawns and park grounds about the
