prepared, ph-w'n and harrow

plot be of any size. There must
be a fine seed bed, all sticks,
stones, refuse of all kinds clear d

be too rich for good turf, but it
Progressive Farmer.
Not long ago I heard the following
s.orv: A man who had
made a success of city lite was
ashed if he would like to sp"nd
the remainder of his days on the '
$
old homo place out in the connv
try. Looking up from his desk
lie smiled a slow, thoughtful
smile, full of significance and
said : "I suppose it is natural
for vou to ask that question, be
, i n
cause you do not know that my j
old home was the most unbeau- ^
tiful spot it has ever been my
lot to see. Cio hack there to live?
Never ! 1 go every year to visit j
the old lolks. for tliev meant
IV
well. I am sure; bul I lie v didn't
, r
understand, they didn't un
derstand. They had no idea of
the longing of the ordinary child
lor the beautiful, and I wis given
?
neither encouragement nor time (
to realize that longing. Why, the
last time 1 was at home father
was still raising his potatoes in (
the front vard, and mother had
c
her cabbages and onions as near
g
to the front door as she could ^
plant them ; and all the while j
acres of land were lying idle." I
In answer to this tome will j ^
fee! inclined to ?ay that the old.
couple evidently did all of their
own work and wished t ? save
time and labor at every turn, so
planted crops up to their doors. (
This same argument is u-ed also ^

etc., are' placed inst across tho .

Don't skinvp in the quantity _

nvn grass seed in the acre is | -||
ot too much. There are many
repared lawn grass mixtures, ; '
,nd the mixture suited to your
articular soil is, ot course, what
hould be used. Most of the <
veil-known teed houses get out

o lawn making. A postal will

or the farm homo, are best in

hickens, cats, etc., and placed

will mean also a working >
f the flowers.
The walks add to or detract
ery much from the appearance
1 the lawn. A pathway should
1 ways have some reason to be,
?it should lead somewhere. T.'ie
ralk from tlie roadway to the
I
ouse should not be too wide : a
i
ide walk pre supposes a spaious
residence, neither should
? curve unmeaningly. I? in
tying out If e w lk it should : -i
(inflict with a clump of ever

retty laid out walk, which be- . .

awn, poes in a diagonal course L

directly in front ol the doorway.
A lawn cut up into flowerods
and numerous walks is selom
attractive wiu n so treated; it
