Making a New Lawn.

A good lawn can be grown any.
where IN the northern states and upon
any kind Of a surface soil. One rea.
son SO many new lawns fail is because
the soil which is taken out in ex-
cavating for the new house is spread
over the lot, covering up the old sur
face SOIL The deep or sub-soil is
worthless for growing anything. not
because 1t contains no plant food. but
because its plant food is held in such
chemical combinations that plants can
not digest it. Action Of frost, air, sun
light and bacteria, must take place be-
fore the plant can live in IL. If this
excavated soil must be used for grad
ing purposes, cover it with three
inches of good loan or black earth IL
you want grass to grow there.
Given ordinary surface soil to start
with, the first step is to plow or spade
1t about six inches deep. At this time
turn under a good cover of stable
manure and then work the soil to a
fine seed bed, just as for a garden.
Level the surface, fill in the hollows
and then broadcast a. commercial fer
tilizer, using about one-fourth pound
to the square yard. A good fertilizer
is composed Of one part muriate of
potash, five parts steamed bone meal.
one part slaked lime. 1t will be well
to use the lime anyway, as it puts the
soil in fine shape, although it is with
out value as direct plant food. Now
roll the ground to make it firm and
form good passage up for the water
IN the sub-soil Just as soon as the
soil has been rolled it should be raked.
or narrowed with fine tooth harrow
the seed should be sown broadcast,
and the soil should be raked or har-
rowed crossways, to cover the seed
lightly. Do this the same day YOU
roll the ground or 1t will dry out too
much.
Your scotsman can furnish you with
excellent mixtures of lawn seed or
you can make an ideal seed mixture
by using As per cent. each of Ken
lucky blue grass and red top, with 10
per cent. white clover seed by weight.
Sow 1t by hand on a still day, while
he surface of the soil is damp. Sow
IN the basis Of handful of seed to
he square yard.
II the sowing has to be. done late in
he spring or during a very hot, dry
'eriod, it will be well to give the soil
light mulch Of straw or strawy
manure.
A cover crop such as oats or rye is
'ften used, but is not particularly ad-
'antageous except for shade and it
lses up a great deal of water and
liant food.
Keep the new lawn well watered
uring the growing season and cover
with fine stable manure during the
rst winter.

Wax From ApIary.

To get the most wax from an apiary
It pays occasionally to scrape the
frames, honey boards and the inside
OF the hives, and when old frames are
broken up. They do make nice kim
ding wood, but before using them
they should be boiled, for there is
wax sticking to the old frames even
after they are scraped seemingly
clean, and as each pound of wax rep
resents several pounds of honey, all
cappings removed when preparing
combs for the extractor, all scrapings
and trimmings and bits of drone comb
are to be saved and rendered into
wax.

Prof. Shoppe, in his lecture on the
"Maine" system OF housing poultry
brought out the following points: A
system Of housing TO be successful must
be such that the birds will be comfortable
at all seasons of the year; the house must
be SO constructed that the work can be
easily and conveniently done.
Prof. Schoppe showed that by comfort
for the birds is not meant that the house
be warmed or that it be built tight 10
keep out cold, but that 1t be free froi.i
dampness and drafts. White frost on the
inside walls and roof OF a poultry house
is an indication OF dampness and poor
ventilation, condition which must be
remedied.
Birds will stand the cold, but they can
not stand dsmpness. Under these condi-
tions they become inactive, and are very
susceptible to disease and colds. Drafts
have nearly the same effect. The birds
strive to get out Of the wind and are usu-
ally found huddied in a protected corner,
not out in the pen scratching, as they
ought to be.
The house should be constructed fol
convenience. As general thing, poultry
are kept as q sideline to other farming
operations, and are the first to suffer when
q rush of work comes. For this reason, IL
for no other, the houses must be con-
veniently constructed so that the work
may be easily and quickly done.
Cleanliness is one of the first rules foi
success in the poultry business, and the
house must be so constructed that it may
be easily cleaned.
Convenient and handy devices for feed
ing and caring for the birds must be used
In fact, anything that will cut down the
labor and time required for doing the
work Is desirable.
Prof. Schoppe went over the develop
ment OF the OPEN front system OF housing
which is recommended by the Maine
experiment station, and showed how Y
had been built up step by step; the pur'
pose being TO develop system OF housing
that should best be adapted to Maine
conditions.

account, on his understanding that de-
PENDANT had potatoes enough to more

cepted potatoes, as he claimed, to the
amount Of S322, and produced his account
book showing credit to that amount. He
sued to recover balance due, SITS. De-
PENDANT claimed he had furnished pota-
toes enough to cover the $500 advanced
him. This was the point of dispute, but

cord OF potatoes delivered to plaintiff. The
jury returned verdict for plaintiff for SITS.

ARE PLEASED
over new LAW

The members of Fargo council IS are
feeling very kindly to Hon. /. l..
Twichell of this city for the great
work he did while in the legislature
in regard to getting the bill through
which will permit the travelling man
to vote anywhere In the state, pro.
vided OF course, that he is a resident OF
the state.
The council has been endeavoring to
secure such a law for a long time and
is very much pleased that 1t has at
last passed and that it was signed by
the governor and is now a law
Among hose who worked exceeding
Iy hard for the passage of the bill in
addition to Mr.. Twichell, were tho
committee from SIS which was made
up of Joseph Purcell, william L. Grasse
and w. D.. Powell, They visited the
legislature several times during the
session and did a great deal of hard
work for the measure.
According to the new 1aw 1t will be
possible for a salesman who resides
In Fargo or other cities to vote any
place in the state he may be on cleo
tion day by securing the necessary
blanks that will be furnished him by
the election officers of his home town,
A few days ago Mr.. Purcell receiveo
a letter from Governor Byrne OF South
Dakota which stated that he had learn
ed that such a law had been passed IN
this state and he asked for a copy OF
the bill. The letter was turned over
to Mr.. Twichell who furnished the par
ticulars. 1t was intimated in the letter
that a similar bill might be passed in
the south state.
