derives Its life and body from certain

Door Mats Grown In America.

Growing Of door mats has been car
rled out for some time In certain
parts of America, the only articles
required being some pieces OF old
sacklng, or any similar material, and
common grass seed, says Detroit News.
The sacking Is cut to the desired size
and shape and then moistened with
water and placed on level soil. Grnss
seed is then sowed rather thickly over
the surface Of the sncking. the whole
covered with paper so us to shade It
from the strong sun and keep It pro-
tected for about week, at the end
of which time the seed will have germ
mated. The cover is then removed
Every three or four days the mat Is
moved to n fresh position to prevent
the roots fastening themselves to the
soil beneath. After week or ten
days, when the mat has dried and the
grass turned nice shade OF green,
the mat Is ready for use. The little
grass plants hold on TO the canvas
most tenHciOusly, even when they are
dead, this being due to the fact that
the root hairs become entnngled In
the rough hairs Of the sacking and are
extremely difficult to remove.
