WORK ON THE LAWN
AND HOME GROUNDS
If Patchy and Bare in Spots Keep
on Seeding 1t the Whole
Summer Through.

How are the lawn and home
grounds in general? Are they all that
should be to make summer home life
enjoyable and pleasing sight to the
passer by?
If the lawn is patchy and bare in
spots, keep on seeding it the whole
summer through; the seed will finally
catch and fill up the bare places.
White clover is a fine lawn plant,
but many find that It dies out after a
few years. White clover, as all the
clovers, is a biennial, completely dy-
ing after the second year. If the
lawn is kept closely clipped, white
clover seed should be sown each fall
or spring to insure permanent
stand
The same result may be secured by
not moving in the fall, allowing the
plants to blossom and seed.

Water for Hogs.

Water is as essential in the produc-
ton of gains on hog as is grain. If
grain fell from the sky and we had to
grow water our estimation of their
value would be reversed. For the rea-
son that water is free and everywhere
available the failure to supply plenty
of it fresh for the hogs in summer is
absolutely inexcusable. With two
inches of fat all over his body the hog
does not need 80 degrees temperature

Profitable Roses.

Roses, though generally admired as
the most beautiful flower, are not uni
versally recognized as the profitable
article of commerce that they really
are. Trade roses are grown in vari-
GUS parts of Europe, but chiefly at
Grasse, In France, and Kasanlik, in
Bulgaria, where great stretches of rose
gardens provide the chief supply Of
roses for the markets of the world.
The highly cultivated roses are useless
for commercial purposes, and both at
Grasse and Kasanlik it Is the cabbage
rose that is chiefly grown-''the rose
of a hundred petals" as they call it in
southern France. The Grasse roses
are used chiefly for pomades, SOAPS,
rose water, and such commodities, and
the demand made by the manufacture
ers of such on the rose growers Of
Grasse can be partly gagged from the
fact that more than 2.500.00O pounds
Of roses are annually gathered in the
district. Essence. or, as it is called,
altar of roses. is rarely made in
France, on account of the expense of
production, but nearly all the Bull
garian roses are used for this purpose.

History Made by a POSTAGE Stamp.

A postage stamp which played a part
in history is told about by Nj. Bunau-
V0rilla in his book on the Panama
canal. The incident occurred when
the discussion over the relative merits
of the Panama and Nicaragua routes
was at its height. Bunau- VarilIa had
been working vigorously for the Pan
anna route. making use of the two
arguments Of less cost and immunity
from active volcanoes. One day he
recalled that Nicaragua had issued a
handsome stamp. showing a volcano
in full activity. He at once sent to
the dealers in foreign stamps in Wash
ington, and obtained ninety of these
stamps, which he forwarded to the
ninety senator's. along with bits of
paper bearing the words, Postage
stamp of the republic of Nicaragua;
an official witness of the volcanic ac-
tivities of Nicaragua" The catastrophe
at st. Pierre took place about this
time, to deepen the impression of vol
canic danger. and the Panama route
was adopted by the narrow margin of
four votes.-New York Post.

DATES FROM THE ROMAN ERA
World Conquers Had What Core
sponded to Daily Newspaper-The
First English. Publication

The first daily newspaper in Eng
fish appeared in London March IL.
1902, 210 years ago.
News letters and pamphlets printed
from time to time when news or poll
tics warranted had been common
enough during the latter half of the
preceding century, but these were in
no sense newspapers.
The first daily" was. called The
Daily Courant, and was published by
e. Mallet, against the Ditch at Fleet
bridge"-close by the site of the pres
snt London Times Office. The paper
was only single sheet of two coli
umns. 1t professed to give only for
eign news with the name of the for
eign source.
So keen was the publisher to steer
clear of any responsibility for his
news, and to hide himself and his
views in the background, that he says
in his first issue in so many words he
will make no comments of his own.
"supposing other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves"
The Daily Courant which lasted
until 1875. may be said to be the first
daily newspaper in anything like the
modern sense. Yet the Romans had a
publication called Daily Happenings
(Acta Diurna) which noted the move
ments of the armies and elections.

assistant said they had plenty of
honey, got it fresh every day. What
honey is it?" asked the man with a
sore throat huskily. "Twenty-one cents
pound" replied the salesman, and it
came out that he had no notion that
there were varieties of honey. His
idea was that all honey was English,
and he had never heard Of Irish honey,
