but in this respect probably they do not
differ materially from other healthy
youngsters of their own age. A short
time ago one of the teachers in an upper
grade brought into the class room a plas-
ter bust of the Venus of Milo. An air
of great expectancy pervaded the room
as the teacher held this snowy cast be-
fore them.
“Now children ,do you know who this
is?” she asked .
“I do,” squealed one boy, as he waved
his hand wildly in the air.
“Who is it?" asked the teacher.
“George Washington.”
“No,” replied the teacher.
“I know who it is,” cried a little girl
The teacher nodded by way of inquiry.
“It's George Washington's mother.”
! “Wrong again,” said the teacher
“Now, children, no more guessing. This
is the statute of the most beautiful wom-

“lI know who it is,” interrupted a
brightfaced boy in the back of the room.

Some of my neighbors object to

after pulling and burn them. To me

SPRING MANAGEMENT OF THE
LAWN.
It is a common practice during late
winter or early spring to cover the
lawn with a topdressing of stable
manure. While there can be no ques
tion as to the value of this as plant
food, yet it has two very serious ob:
jections. First, the Introduction of
various noxious weeds, and ‘second
the barnyard appearance it gives tHe
lawn. Both can be avoided by using
some concentrated fertilizer, as bone
flour, or even some of the ammoniated
brands, just previous to a shower.
The first work In the spring should
be the eradication of all weeds, such
as dock, dandelion, ete. They can
be readily seen and as the frost has
left the soil loose they are easily pull
ad up, If the lawn is but a year or
two old, there no doubt will be found
many slight depressions, in these rich
soll should be scattered, and if the
grass plants are completely covered
up, grass seed should sown and
thoroughly raked in, In fact, seed
should be sown early each spring ip
all parts where the sod is thin.
Roll both ways with a heavy iron
loam roller. This will level the sur
face, make it more presentable and
leave In good condition for the lawn
mower, Use the mower every ten
days during the growing season, so
that the cut grass will wither and dis
appear in two days. This plan has
been found more practicable and gives
a better and more lasting lawn than
removing the cut grass after
mowing. ~—American Agriculturist,
