NOT YET TOO LATE
TO PLANT CITY Lawn
Department of Agriculture Issues
Series of Bulletins on
Subject.

Treatment of Lawns With the View to
Making Homesteads in the city Look
More Attractive" is the subject of a
series of articles now being issued by the
Department of Agriculture. The depart
ment says that even though city lawns
were not seeded in the early spring,
which is the best time for doing so, it is
not yet too late to plant them and i'm
prove the lawns for the remainder of the
summer.
The department recommends the use of
equal parts Of Kentucky blue grass and
redtop. 1t says that this should be used
at the rate of one pound for every two
hundred square feet. In case there are
many bare spots on the lawn 1t is recon-
mended to add about an equal part of
white clover seed to the mixture
The lawn should be we'll loosened up so
that the seed will have a chance to take a
deep root

Care in Watering.

Further care of the lawn in the line of
watering is discussed and 1t is said that
householders as a rule make a greater
mistake about watering than about any
other feature in caring for the grass
The department recommends that lawns
should be only watered once or twice a
week. and when the grass is watered, that
the water should be turned on in a very
fine spray from three to six hours, SO as
to thoroughly soak the ground to the
depth of several inches. allowing the grass
roots to penetrate and not allowing the
water to accumulate in puddles or wash
the dirt off so as to expose the grass seed.
The notice says that July is much the
hardest month on the city lawns, and
many householderS are surprised to find
that the grass withers and dies off when
they had thought that they were taking
good care of it. This is said to be due
very largely to bad methods in watering
and allowing the grass to be washed
bare.

and that at a much lower price.
Sometimes a set cannot be dupn-
Gated, which is a serious situation,
indeed.
And one last point, the "set'' pre-
cludes individual or decorative ef-
fects. That is, there ars so many
odd pitchers, odd chop plates. or odd
casseroles which are decorative and
very artistic, and which combine
we'll. Such a one was a Sell bowl
and pitcher, and a ''porringer" from
specially shop seen recently.
Now In the household of one who
is using a set these additions and
table charms are impossible, because
they are too different from the regu-
lar set" Similarly, too, the set"
necessitates certain silver and glass
styles which We may not care to use.
For this reason, then, the set Of
fers disadvantages because of its un-
varying appearance and its lack of
possibilities when combined with in
teresting but different table novel;
ties.
Surprisingly fewer dishes are need
ed than one would suppose, or than
We have been accustomed to use by
mere tradition. Instead of twelve OF
everything, eight has been found a
more convenient number for the fam
lily of four. Instead of similar plat
ters differing in size, a chop plate
and one large platter, perhaps OF sill
yer, are sufficient. BY careful plan
ming just enough dishes may be
chosen to overlap at both tea and
breakfast; leaving out any large
pieces which are unattractive. on
considering it carefully, the set
always has egg dishes. cereal dishes
or some one or more dishes which
are unattractive, and which we wish
to replace with other shes: II we
already have decorative special 50 lad

, of all STYLES and colors and materials

strips of silk made into tube-liEc strings
and finished with three-irch bead ends,
| the beads being of moderate size and
gay colors. and crowded together on the
string so they hold the necklace straight.
| These gay little adornmcnts are not
! fastened, but laid around the neck over
J the waist. and held in place by con-
cealed pins. Or, il some more Suhstan-
| tial anchorage is desired, they are loose
ly tied, once over, just above the beaded
ends.
The making Of these is very simple. A
bias strip of silk the desired length is
taken and folded as IL to make fold
for the edge of a hat or ruffle, and
sewed blind stitch into a tube about
three-eishths of an inch wide. On a rose
pink silk necklace, carved green and
yellow beads were used. The ones which
have the graduated size of beads are
the most attractive.
The ribbon roses for brooches and cor
sage ornaments have lost none Of their
popularity.
Flowers may be embroidered in the
center of every alternate section of a
plain silk perasol,s and the effect will
he quite like one Of the expensive i'm
ported novelties. 1t is not easy to do

Ii is of velvet or satin. o. Inoire. and
