SOME ESSENTIALS
FOR A GOOD LAWN
Begin to Now Grass as Soon as
1t Begins to Grow-Use
Clippings as Mulch.

To have a good lawn, as the grass
begins to grow NOW it often. Abandon
the notion that moving grass will kill
it: 1t will do nothing of the kind
Frequent moving. two or three
times a week, will keep down thick
places and allow thin places to assert
themselves.
Do not rake the lawn clippings un-
less your lawn soil Is exceedingly
fertile. Save the extra work, and allow
the clippings to lie on the ground for
a mulch and fertilizer.
Lawn clippings are splendid green
feed for poultry confined in pens. but
when they are taken from the lawn an
equivalent fertilizer should be re-
turned-at some time.
When the lawn mower gets dull do
not take 1t to the shop to be sharp
ened, but adjust and tighten the bolts
or tension at the bottom on either end
of the bar, so that the revolving blades
ring sharply against the bottom hori-
zontal cutting blade. This will make
the mower sharpen itself In turning.
Almost all lawn mowers are con-
structed for self sharpening When
the tension is tight 1t requires just 3
little more force in pushing. but It

The small turnip-rooted radishes are
the best for early use, preference be-
ing given to either red or white; the
olive-celored ones are usually less crisp
and tender, as well as less inviting
in appearance.
Among the peas we have found no
other early ones so good or so produc-
tive as the Gradus. So many of the
early varieties are exceedingly dwarf

bers and melons may be started in
the house either in inverted sods, or
in paper pots. These are usually less
prolific than the latter ones planted
in the ground; but they come on de-
cidedly earlier.
If desired, couple of seeds may be
planted In each hill when the plants
are set in the ground. Then, as the
early ones prove that their vitality is
nearly exhausted, the young plants
will take heir places, and furnish the
pickle supply for the winter.
Plan the garden in advance on pa
per, separating early and late corn, as
well as having cucumbers, melons and
squashes far enough apart that pol
len from one will not reach another
readily. It is a curious exception
to the rule that watermelon and
muskmelon can be grown side by side
without apparent injury, the two va
rieties Of muskmelon or watermelon
on adjoining plots result in worth
less mongreL
In planning for horse-cultivation,
three feet apart is as near as the rows
can be worked to advantage. II the
wheel tools are used, onions. radishes.
lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, pars-
nips and turrips may be sown in rows
from IL to IS inches apart.
Bush beans, early cabbage and peas
need about two feet; late cabbage
need about three feet, and the various
vines from four to six feet apart For
convenience in cultivating, 1t is essen
tial to so plHnt that the lines may
be of uniform width, though 1t is not
necessary to break in order to sep.
arate certain varieties. One may COM
bine by doubling the distance in some
points.
Thus bush beans or early cabbage
work in nicely to break the rows be-
tween the cucumbers and melons, the
rows being double. The straight line
is in the one row unbroken; in the
next 1t ID simply in part left blank.

farmers are apt to be wasteful to an

Your garden soct is-or should be
exceedingly rich ground, and one can

As the early radishes are used. stitch
in here and there seed Of summer
and winter varieties. In this way
there is q constant succession. The
tender pepper and egg plant may b.
filled into the spaces rendered vacant
by the removal OF early onions: and
celery can replace peas.

The first warm days lure the enthusi-
asst into gardening, though the unex-
perienced gardener will say there Is
no use forcing things in the open
ground until 1t is warm and dry
enough, SO that the earth will erumble
when the pillow or spade turns It over.
But peas, onions, lettuce, and rad
ishes will stand quite an amount of
cold weather, and few of each should

ance that while they may not prove
more than a week or two in advance
Of the main planting, unless the wealth
er is unusually perverse. they
will be ready for the table while the
main crop is still in the first stage of
growth.
A few large onions planted early
will provide fresh onions even SOON
er than they can be obtained from
sets, though the earlier ones are grown
from sets of the Top onion, planted
in the autumn.
In planting the garden, 1t pays to
lay on a rectangular plot, planting
everything in rows Then then pos
sib!y can be worked during the early
stages OF growth with the one horse
cultivator. II you have not the wheel
tools.
The latter. however, will prove a
splendid investment, even though the
garden is only large enough for fam
lily use. They work up close to the
rows, and enable one to get much
more from the same amount of ground
by having the rows closer together
than 1t 10 possible with horse cultiva-
ton. Even tho best trained horse is
liable to make misstep to the ami
hilation OF some tender plant.
The wheel-tools, Of varied form and
methods Of work, reduce the soil much
more completely than the cultivator;
soil SO thoroughly worked is able to
resist drought.
Reserve one of the two rows at the
side for perennials like rhubarb, and
for the berries. And 1t is convent
emit to set aside another for very early
planting. Then the main part Of the
