PERFECT LAWN NEEDS WORK
One Who Expects to Get the Best Re-
suits Must Expect to Expend Much
but Not Difficult Labor.

To have a perfect lawn requires
much but not difficult labor. AS rule
the land conditions to be met may be
divided into two classes: First, where
there Is sufficient depth Of good
loan, but where the grass has gradual
~ been allowed to die out, and, second.
where the lawnmaker has poor grav-
ely soil, seemingly without greensward
possibilities of any kind quite regard
less Of what may be done to it.
The treatment in the first case cited
is sufficiently simple. It will not even
be necessary to spade up the ground
and re-seed, for just as good results
are produced by simpler method and
in much shorter time. Take sharp
iron rake with good sharp teeth, and,
after digging out the weeds, scratch
deep into the soil, breaking 1t up as
finely as possible. After doing this
sow the best grass seed obtainable,
using grass seeder, of which there
are several kinds on the market. The
wheelbarrOw seeder where the space
to be seeded is new lawn, for exam
pie, will prove a labor-saver. Where
the space to be re-seeded is small, a
broadcast seed sower will do excellent
work; it is carried by a strap about
the shoulder, and will SOW not only
grass, but all kinds Of grain.

Denmark has solved the problem Of

Observation-Disclosures Review. An
article entitled Bringing the Country

plots have been added to the produc.
tive area Of Denmark through the utt
lization Of vacant lots and waste lands
in or near cities. The land is bought
or leased by company, which does all
the preliminary work of building roads
and fences, laying water pipes, INSTALL
ing sewerage system, and preparing
the soil for cultivation. 1t is divided
up into small gardens, which are rent
ed at a price Of So to 81 for the sum-
mer. Many families raise enough veg
etables for their own use and sell a
considerable amount besides. Others
prefer to build a little arbor and plant
flower garden, which becomes their
refuge from the CRIME Of the city.

tested Soil Should Be Deep
Iy Cultivated.

Injury to corn by wireworms occurs
in early spring, soon after planting.
If the seed does not sprout, or the
young corn plants wither and die
down, the cause is generally wire
worms. Land that has been in grass
often is crowded with these larvae,
which collect on corn hills, eating
first part of the seeds and later the
roots Of the plants.
Wireworms are extremely hard to
control, because they remain in the
ground and are inaccessible practical
ly all their lives.
J. A. Hyslop, in recent bulletin Of
the u. s. department Of agriculture
makes the following recommendations
for wireworms infesting corn:

HEN MANURE IMPROVES SOIL
DroppIngs Should Be Collected Daily
and Mixed with Substances to
Preserve Nitrogen.

According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily
and mixed with substances which will
~ prevent loss Of nitrogen, (2) add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
to make better balanced fertilizer,
and (3) improve the mechanical con-
dition of the manure so that it can be
applied to the land with a manure
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 80 pounds of the manure add ten
pounds Of sawdust, good dried loan,
or peat, 16 pounds Of acid phosphate,
eight pounds of kainit. Such mix
ture will contain about 1.25 per cent
Of nitrogen, 40 per cent of phosphoric
acid, and per cent Of potash, which,
used at the rate of two tons per acre
would furnish 80 pounds of nitrogen,
1856 pounds of phosphorfc acid, and 80
pounds Of potash, and at the present
price of fertilizing ingredients is worth
about $40 per ton. The mixture would
furnish a well-balanced stable ferti-
llzer, which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, can be success
fully applied with a manure spreader.
The treated manure should be well
sheltered until time to apply to the
land-that is shortly before blowing.

be able to produce roots enough to
Withstand the depredations Of several
wireworms.
Land that is in corn, and badly in
tested should be deeply cultivated,
even at the risk of root pruning the
soil. Land should be cultivated as
long as possible, and as soon as the
crop is removed, it should be deeply
plowed and thoroughly cultivated be-
fore sowing new crop.
The interposing of crop not Sc.
verely attacked by wireworms, such
as field peas and buckwheat, between
sod and corn would materially reduce
the number Of wireworms in the soil
when corn is planted.
Corn wirewOrms generally are con-
fined to poorly drained, or heavy and
sour soil. In many cases Of this kind,
after the land was tile drained the
injury ceased. No direct relationship
between draining and disappearance
Of wireworms can be ascertained, but

Decoration Of Schools Uraed.

Importance Of proper environment
in education was emphasized by Rev.
DR.. John Van Schaick, Jr., in a brief
address before the League for the
Decoration Of public Schools at its
annual meeting at Washington. DR..
Van Schaick declared that proper
artistic environment makes not only
an esthetic but moral appeal.
He intimated that the time would
come when more public funds could be
used for the decoration of school
buildings. He commended the work
that is being done by the league, and
pointed out that it was private initia-
tive which first awakened public senti-
ment to the need of kindergartens,
hospitals and other institutions now
supported by public funds, but first
started through individual effort.

TREES HAVE ECONOMIC VALUE
Every One That Is Planted Adds to
Wealth of Community as Well
as to Its Beauty.

The most striking living landscape
feature is tree, therefore wherever
tree grows the land is more or less
habitable. No matter what kinsl of a
tree it is, If of large size, it proclaims
that the land 1t adorns is not desert.
Tree have been objects of love and
veneration since the dawn of history,
and as their attractions and uses are
many and varied, he who plants tree
plants wealth and adds to the capital
of all.
Trees beautify homes, parks, streets
and even as orchards their beauty Is
not the least of their several specific
values. They cool the parched earth
and heated atmosphere in summer and
protect from biting cold and stormy
wind in winter, says the Los Angeles
Times. They purify the air we breathe
and prevent winds from communicating
it by arresting storms of dust and 9TH
er injurious matter. They add very
materially to the value of all property
even aside from the esthetic consid-
eratiOns; their pure economic value is
not questioned. There are not, there
fore, any reasons for not planting trees
and. SO many reasons why we should,
that 1t is best to place them wherever
and whenever the opportunity pre-
sents. 1t is indeed easy to get rid of
them if improperly placed. Therefore
be ever planting tree, for it grows
all the time, even while the planter
sleeps, and is adding to the wealth of
all on earth and all to come.

BALANCED RATION IS NEEDED
Carefully Select All Fertilizers for
Garden-Sheep Manure Will
Help Plants Along.

Fertilizers, the plantfood for the
garden, should be carefully selected.
Nitrogen, which stimulates leaf
growth, is best supplied by turning I'M
der rich, well-rotted or compOsted ma
nure, or rotting vegetable matter. Nj
trogen also is supplied in such fertil-
izers as nitrate Of soda and sulphate
of ammonia.
Potash tends to hasten the maturity
of the plant, but also has tendency
to counterfeit the work of nitrogen.
On this account those not experienced
in using potash will find sulphate Of
potash better, or at least safer in most
cases, than the muriate. On account
Of the disturbed commercial conditions
potash is hardwood ashes.
Plants need a balanced ration. II
they are lacking in nitrogen, they
show pale leaf and stunted plant
form. Excess Of nitrogen is shown by
large leaf and plant growth with i'm
perfect fruitage. If the plants lack
potash, they will not be fruitful.

PREVENT EROSION OF SOILS
Terraeing and Contour Farming Are
Coming Into Favor as Good
Preventive Practices.

The farm practices that cause ex-
cessive erosion are continuous cultiva-
ton, shallow blowing, furrOwing with
the slopes, leaving the land bare in
winter, neglect Of gullies and the ex-
haustion of organic matter.
Practices tending to control erosion
are systematic rotations containing
fewer cultivated crops and more hay
and pasture crops, the gradual deep
ening of soil by occasional deep plow-
ing, the use of barnyard and green
manures, winter cover crops such as
rye and wheat, and prompt attention
to gullies and bitches.
Terracing and contour farming are
coming into favor as preventive prac-
tees as lands increase in value. Thing
poorly drained sloping lands such as
spouty hillsides, helps by opening up
the subsoil and carrying part Of the
water off through the tiles.

sects and you want to have
clean, fresh, attractive interiors
in your buildings, try the follow

of lime with het water to the con-
sistency of cream. To this add one
pint Of zenoleum or a coal tar
product, and one pint Of kerosene.
Dilute until it can be applied
with brush or spray pump. The
coal tar product kills disease
germs, the kerosene destroys
mites and the lime whitens the
walls.
