TO MAKE LAWNS GROW.
Nitrate of Soda Advocated as Fer
tilizer by Agricultural Department.

Care Of house lawns during the sum-
mer is subject to which the Depart
ment of Agriculture has paid consider
able attention this summer. Its latest
advice to householders for fertilization
of lawns is the application of COM
mercial fertilizer of nitrate of soda. This
should be applied, according to the de-
partment, at the rate of fifty pounds
per acre. There has been some fear in
number of quarters that nitrate of soda
would injure long grass Because of
this the department has tried a number
of experiments and has found that It is
impossible to kill grass with this fer
tilizer short of an application of 4uC
pounds per acre.
The department advises that the nitrate
should be applied in solution with wat
ering can. or else that if it is used dry II
should be put on the ground just before
the likelihood of a rain just before
the lawn is to be sprinkled. The fer
tilizer is green in color and for that
reason improves the appearance of the
lawn independent of the good it may dc
the grass. 1t is said it should be applied
at intervals of once month during the
growing season. One of its values in use
on lawns is the fact that being chem
ical it carries no weed seeds. which is the
case with barn manure.

BY ROBERT L. RIPLEY.

What Ty cobb is to base ball even as
much is Devereux Mlburn to polo Which
is informing YOU that Mr. Milburn is the
greatest polo player in the game today
That fact is to be impressed On our Eng
lish visitors next week at Meadow Brook.
He is like Cobb in many respects other
than his superiority over all in his chosen
field. His polo characteristics resemble
Cobb's base ball individualities.
He is the same daring, reckless and
fearless PLAYER. He is terribly agrees
etve-pounding down the field with
dashing speed that seems impossible TO
check. He firmly believes that a strong
offense is greater than strong defense.
And his actions on the field portray this
every moment. Although his position is
in the backtield. he is in the foreground
as conspicuously as the forwards. Al
though he learned his polo at oxford. he
Is entirely American in his style of play
That means that he is decidedly revo-
lutonary. Americans never play a game
according to ''Hoyle." They are too full
of energy and originality.
Thus he leaves his goal wide open and
bears down on the field with such fury
that it upsets the opposition and, a
defense of the goal is unnecessary. He
Is big man and necessitates large
pony. The combination is hard to stop.
And when YOU consider that he is equal
to any cowboy rider it is little won
der that he accomplishes what he starts
after.
When Milburn was married last year to
Miss Nancy Steele. truly large occasion
In society. he was presented, as g. we'd
ding present. eight excellent polo ponies
by Harry Payne Whitney. These ponies
are some of the best in the land. and
when you consider that the pony is APP
proximately 10 per cent of the game. then
you realize what a terrific force Devereux
Milburn embodies of the American team.
At polo he can Ty Cobb.

Organization of Ants.

THE social organization of the ants
has been the admiration of human beings
from the earliest times. because the in
terest of the individual is merged so
completely into that of the colony. Theirs
is an organization of females The work
ers are females. the soldiers are females.
the nurses are females. and there is one
queen mother for them all. who lays all
the eggs of the colony. The males of any
colony are but mates for the young
queens. Together with them they leave
the nest on their marriage day and to-
gether make their marriage flight. but
as soon as this is over they die and the
colony gets on easily without them.
The DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE is so
complete between the butterfly and the
velvety green worm that it is no wonder
that for centuries no connection between
the two careers of these creatures was
suspected. In general it is true that no
moth or butterfly is injurious to plants
except in its larval stage. and herein has
laid the clever deception which has doubt
less protected these gay mating creatures
of the air from the systematic attacks Of
man until quite recent times.
THE spider world has a vagabond which
builds no nest or web. being content to
use her marvellous silk in the construc-
ton only of a sac in which to lay her
eggs. 1t does not grow to be more than
half an inch in length. but 1t is among
the most active of all spiders, and in the
United States alone there are nearly a
score of species Of these little soldiers
Of fortune living nowhere and roaming
the damp fields in search Of prey"

Holdings Investigated.

1t is expected that the work of estab-
fishing valuation upon the properties
Of all local public utilities will be COM
pleted by June 80 next year. An exam
nation is now being made of the hold

be the next corporation to be investigated
Indications are that the public utilities
commission will take up the question of
local taxicab rates some time during July
or August. The commission itself is max
ing valuation of the properties of these
concerns. a task it hopes to have COM
