A GOOD LAWN AND HOW TO GET IT.
There is nothing that adds more to
tho appearance of a country place
than a fine, well-kept lawn, and not
only this, but it increases the money
value as well, says J. Troop.of tho In
diana Experiment Station. This will
be proven when one tries to sell a farm
which has not been beautified by tho
addition of a good lawn .and well
selected trees. Says Downing: "It
may seem a heavy tax to some, yet no
expenditure in ornamental gardening
is to our mind productive of so niueh
boauty as that incurred in producing
a well-kept lawn. Without th;s fea
ture, uo place, however great its arch
itectural beuuties, its charms of
scenery, or its collections of flowers
and Bhrubs, cau bo (aid to deserve
consideration in poiut of laudscape
gardening; while with it the humble
cottage grounds will poasess a charm
which is among pleasure grounds what
a refined and graceful manner is iu so
ciety a universal purport to admir
ation." In fact, trees nud grass are
the principal features which give grace
uud beauty to tho landscape; but they
must have tho proper cure and atten
tion in order to brinar about tho de
sired result. Downing says tho
esseutiuls for a good luwn ure deep
soil, proper kinds of grass, and fre
quent mowings; but for this climate I
would add a fourth plenty of water.
The average American summer ia not
eo well adapted to the production of u
fine lawn as ia the moist and humid ut
inospbero of Great Ilritain. There,
not so much attention need be giveu
to the richness of the soil,asthe moist
ure takes its pluco iu a mcu'sure. liut
in this country the soil should bo deep
and rich, with subsoil capable of re
taining moisture, but not in excess.
If tho subsoil is hurd uud tenacious,
it should bo well uuderdruiiied and
trenched, or subsoilod to a depth of
sixteen or eighteen iuchec, so us to
form a reservoir of moisture, to sup
port tho plants during our hot, dry
summers. Subsoiliug is not given
tho utttutiou iu this couutry that tho
conditions diuitiud. Many coplo
think thut if tho surfuce soil is iu good
eonditiou it is all that is necessary. A
deep soil is oue of tho tsseutiuls for a
good luwu. liy u good lawn is inet'nt
one that will remain green during tho
fculire summer uud uutumu.
Too much attention cannot bo given
to the preparation of the soil before
the seed is sown. It should be plowed
uud replowed, cultivated, burrowed
uud rolled, until tho whole U thor
vu.lily pulverized HUd uuod to a
depth of ten inches. This work should
bo douo in tho fall, and then left to
settle all winter before tho need is
own. This gives a solid foundation
on which to build, And will prevent lit
tle knolls and hollows, which interfere
with tho proper working of tho lawn
mower.
There nro bnt two kinds of grasses
for lawns that aro really worthy of
consideration for this climate. Tho?o
aro kcutiickv blue grass and rod top.
Thcro aro a few others, such as Khodo
Island bent grass and brown bent
grass, which may be used, but they nro
more expensive, nud iu no way su
perior. A little Sweet Vernal grass or
white clover will do no harm, but
neither is essential. Tho coarser
grasses, such as timothy, orchard
grass, or meadow fescue, should never
bo sown on a lawn. Thoy aro short
lived nnd too conrfo nnd stilT to make
a soft, velvety carpet. Many high
priced lawn mixtures, if analyzed, will
be fouud to consist mainly" of bltto
grass oud rodtop, which may bo bought
iu tho market for $1.50 to $2.50 per
bushel. To seed properly, it will re
quiro from two to three bushels per
aero, depending somewhat upon the
amount of chaff mixed with tho soed.
This should be sown as early in tho
spring as possible, so that tho young
plants will be stroug enough to with
stand tho hot, dry weather of midsum
mer. Somo recommend sowing oats
with tho seed as a protection to tho
young grass plants, but I have never
found that a strong, gross-feeding
plaut liko tho oat would furnish pro
tection to a delicate, slow-growing oue.
Instead, it will rob it of its nourish
ment, and much time will bo lost in
securing tho desired result. ltedtop
germinates much quicker than blue
grass, nud will furnish nil tho protec
tion necessary, besides covering the
surface with a green cont almost as
quickly as tho oats. After tho bluo
grass becomes well rooted, it will need
uo further protection, and will as
sume cntiro control in a very short
timo.
Tho third essontial is early and fro
qitont mowing. If tha grass is al
lowed to got too largo before being
cut, the stubblo will be too stiff, aud
that soft, velvety appoaranco, which is
bo attractive, will not bo obtained. As
soon as tho grass is tall enough for
the mower to catch it, is tho time to
begin. A few annual woods which
may nppoar during tho summer will
do no harm, as frequent mowing will
prevent thoir going to seod ; but such
perennials as docks, dandelions,
plantains, etc., should bo dug up as
soou as they appear. If thero is
plonty of water always at command,
less attention need bo given to fertili
zation ; but early overy spring it will
bo well to topdross tho lawn with un
touched ashes and bono meal or su
perphosphate. Forty or fifty bushols
of the former and threo or four hun
dred pouuds of the latter per acre will
keep tho grass in a healthy, thriving
condition, JJarnyard ma u ure is too
unsightly, and should not bo used ex
cept in localities where enow covers
tbo ground all winter; and then it
should bo raked off as early in tho
spring as possible. By following tho
above suggestions, as good lawns can
be had iu this couutry as those iu
England ; lawns which will last a life
time, and be a continual source of
pleasuro to all who como in contact
with them. American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Sometimes mutton hams are smoked
and are said to bo good.
0 all things do not keep sheep in
too warm quarters in winter.
Tho lamb needs cod and enouah of
it. It caunot grow ou nothing.
Do not work a sick auitnal. Rest is
better than medicine, ospeoially where
the trouble results from lamonesa or
sprain.
livery farmer and stock raiser should
own a pair of pinchers, a rasp and
drawing knife, for cutting and shaping
his colt's hoofs.
The price of wool should not influ
ence a farmer overmuch in his decis
ion as to keeping sheep, for if ho has
a good, large mutton shoep ho is sure
of a profit. Ho caunot always have
things his own way, aud should look
at ull sides of a problem.
Sheep will keep the clover croimod
olosely, nud If this is douo through
tho early part of tho semou tho seed
crop will bo heavier from the Into
growth than by any other inanuor of
handling it. Tho shoep should be
fairly credited with this profit.
It takes food to make wool, as well
as make flesh. If growing sheep ouly,
or mainly, for wool, it is just as neces
sary to feed well a though tho inaiu
object win mutton. A sheep kept ou
starvation rations, even a part of the
time, will not yield a good Ueeoo.
Economy of feeding is not to secure
animals that aro "easy kocpers," but
to endeavor to iuduco tho stock to eat
as much as possible so as to produce
tho nio.it. This dcj.onda ou the ca
pacity and digestion of each animal,
which, iu turn, depends on the breed.
Caution is a good thiug, if wise and
consistent, but the farmer who sneers
at scieuoo, educatiou au 1 tho expert
eueo of others is tho very one who al
lows himself to bo tukeu iu by the
plausible talk of tho first smooth
tougtied agent or sharper who happens
along.
Good roads aud good fenoys arc
proofs indubitable of prosperity, aud
nothiug so increases or maintains the
value of real estate. It is almost to
bo wondered at that tho farmer will
ever want to bo compelled to take this
step a step which will often increase
the value of his swampy acres a hun
dred fold.
Mures will do a niuoU work us the
geldings, uud will raise you a colt bo
sides. Keep them, if some of vour
horses ure to be sold ; uud one advan
tage in having good horses is as much
iu being able to sell ut uny time us it
is iu getting good prices wheu you do
ssll. Tho market was never dead for
rvuily good horses.

which to-day point out in nil directions'

supposed to be, but each is now known
to bo a burning central sun, surround

When wo consider that tho nearest of

that each of those planetary colonics

conception of tho grandeur uud mag

moving soniewhero through illimitable
space, taking its brood of worlds with

ached nil the time. My physicians
Mild I would beull right ufter the birth
of tlio child, but 1 wus not, although
ut that time I hud the best of cure.
The puius in my buck were ulmost un

unnerve me. When my bubo wus 11
months old, friends persuuded me to
take Lydiu, E. 1'iukhum's Vegetable

bottle I felt tho effects. My buck did
not ache so badly, uud I felt btronger.
After tukiug four bottles I felt well.

Tho American pooplo llvo too fast, eat too
fast and drink too fast. This has brought
upon many of us a train ot nervous nnd
stomach disorders that aro very Oifflntilt to
maniiKe. Invistlfntlon nnd chemical analy
sis to discover such compounds as will tinlp
those sulTcrlntf from such Ills has resulted In
the discovery of Dr. Williams' l'lnk Tills for
Tale I'txmln, which has taken very hlk'h rank
as a spoelllo remedy.
II. I Owens, a traveling mnn thirty years
of ntfc, who h well-known lu thU community
and irenernlly liked boeauso ho is a blight,
enerentin young fellow, rostdos with his
mother nt 8:15 Central Avenue, Cincinnati,
Ohio, Ho has len a vtetttn of ilysieisln
which took the form ot continuous constipa
tion, nml, strangely enough, Ills mother suf
fered from tlio anme trouble. Mr. Owens
testified to tli" merits of l'lnk Fills In a most
enthusiast to way, and said to tho A'nowrer
reporter:
"I am glad to say anything I can for Dr.
Williams' Pink Tills, because they did me
great good and other people might to know
of their virtues as a mnilolmt In stomach
troubles. It was some t lino ago when 1 felt
a heavy feeling In mv stomach nnd I grow
very constipate!. I did not consult a doc
tor, but having heard of the Pink Tills I
bought a box of them. In two or throw days
the heavy tooting in my stomach disapMnrod
and my bowels were regular. 1 did not have
to use more than a box of them tsiiorn I was
well, Hlnee that time I have only occasion
ally Ikich trouble t with constipation and I
never get worried bocanso I know just what
to do. Mother was also troubled with In
digestion and thn Pink Tills did tho snino for
her they did for me cured her, tlldn't they
mother'"
When niipculod to Mrs. Owens nnswonMi
"That is rlgnt. I found that tt was a groat
medicine, so easy to take and bo quick uud
histing In Its results."
Mr. Owenseontlnued: "Ibollevo thnt theso
fdlls aro also good tor nervousness. When I
nut my stomach trouble 1 was also quite
nervous and that disappeared with tlio dys
pepsia. Thn Pink Tills worn all that Is
claimed for them. ou can mako auy use of
this testimonial that you soo lit."
II. T. Owens has occupied several positions
of trust In this elty. lie was for a time nn
employe of the Cummrrrinl-Hairllf. He will
go on the Mad lu a few dnys for a prominent
business house bore. Mrs. Owens Is qiiltn ns
enthusiastic as her son about tho l'lnk Tills
nnd her host of lady friends cnn verify her
good opinion of this wonderful romodv If
they fool disposed to do so ut any time. Where
the testimony Is so general and unanimous
as to the excellencies of l'lnk Tills as th
A'notiii-cr has found It to bo there Is certainly
good reason to bellevo all tho good tilings
said about the safe and stmplo remedy.
