The lawn is natures summer car
pet and, like other carpets, may add
greatly or detract from the harm ony
of any surroundings. Four things,
however, are essential in the making
of a perfect lawn-good soil. the best
of seed, continual rolling and an album
dance of water, The first. of course
is not always obtainable, but we may
improve n poor soil by blowing in a
liberal supply of well rotted BARNARD

any weight up to 500 pounds, and, be-
ing bali bearing, they are very easy

THE VALUE OF ROLLING
Just here the urgent need of the
roller should be fully explained. Dur

thousands of tiny plants, suffers in the
same way as the larger plants, and it
is only by heavy rolling that proper
conditions can he restored to the soil.
But rolling, while very necessity in
early spring, is equally necessary
throughout the entire growing season,
even surface, discourages the action
of worms, ants, grubs and moles, and
by packing down the earth makes it
possible for the grass roots to utilize
every drop of water.
The lawn once made, fertility may
be supplied in the form of specially
prepared commercial fertilizers or
sheep manure applied in the carly
spring. To water the lawn thorough

it, lay the hose on the ground and let
