KEEPING WEEDS OUT OF LAWN

If one gets a good set of grass in
the beginning and keeps the ground
fertilized by coating of stable ma
nure or commercial fertilizer every
spring there will be little trouble with
weeds if the lawn is kept properly
moved
Some claim that there are weeds
that cannot be clipped with the lawn
mower. We have found this complaint
true where the revolving mower was
used, for it will bend and not cut wiry
stems, as of crab grass and some other
troublesome plants.
The only way of getting these is by
clipping off with mower that has a
sickle similar to a hay mower. The
guards of these machines raise up the
stems and the sickle cuts them of
without MASKING down or pulling.
There is no need of using the hook
so much if one is careful when get
ting mower, to get one that cuts
ahead of the wheels. and as wide as
the extreme distance apart of the out
side of the wheels.
This will not leave the strip along
the borders that is mashed down by
the wheels.
MOles do a great deal of damage, but
may be run out by frequent rolling, or
may be trapped.
These may be destroyed by pouring
into the ant hills a tablespoonful of
carbon bisulphid. stopping the hole SO
the fumes are confined.

The first Of the, new ready-made
suits for fall are making their appear
ance before "the trade" That is, mer-
chants throughout the country are
looking over the sample lines of manu-
factureys. So far there Is little change
in the lines of street suits from those
Of the passing season. Many of the
new models show an increased length
Of skirt, and coats also are somewhat
longer. The inspiration of many smart
models appears to come from the Rus
sian blouse-and this is matter for
gratitude.
II the conservative and beautifully
tailored suit shown above, a model has
been evolved that Is becoming to both
slender and stout figures. The coat
is neatly adjusted over the shoulders
and vague In At about the waistline
with full and long peplum. A very
clever management of the Nnderarm
portion gives trim look to the fig
ure. The sleeves are plain and long.
The skirt is plain with overlapped
seam at the front and plaits at each
side. 1t is strictly tailored with fault
less machine stitching as finish. In
harmony with It are the plain belt at
back and front Of the waistline and
the large bone buttons that fasten the
coat. Smaller buttons of the same
kind are set In row Of four on each
cuff.
Serge is the favorite material for
fall suits although the other stand

ed. Except for the velvet turn

ric used In the suit shown. There is a

Determine SIZE OF A LOAD
Easy to Find Out How Grade Affects
Pull-one Argument Against
Going Around Hill.

The grade ! road determines the
size of load that can be pulled over it.
A good way to learn the effect Of
grade is to ride a bicycle on the level
and up different grades. 1t will very
quickly be found out how grades affect
the pull. One argument against going
around hill is that it makes the dis
lance greater. This is not always the
case. The bail Of pail is no longer
when lying down than when standing
up. One bad grade in a road may
easily double the cost Of hauling. The
work of grading down a hill usually
costs more than to buy the land re-
quired to go around it.

not be first-class. as they will eat with
apparent relish coarse grass and
