A good lawn is 'one of the first, essentials, in making a beautiful hone. ,There .' is nothing that ean take the Place of a beautiful greens-' ward about any house if it is to be really attractive. ?those who arc planning to build should 'include the lawn in the -original'• plan for the home, Draw. -u?, a plan of the contour of ,the ground :adjoining the•,,proposed site. The ,area of this, will depend upon the amount of land available. In the country: this should be riot less than four times the area of the house site. In excavatinn remove all the rich surface soil separately. The subsoil from the excavation is then. used for filling depressions and grading so that the ;surface water will always flow.: away from the house.. When the house is completed, and the rubbish incident•to building removed, the surface soil is brought back and used to make a seed- bed for• the lawn grasses. • The lawn should be as permanent as the house, and requires equal care in the making, The autumn is a. good .-time to do the grading and filling. This should be done at inter- val s,' allowing". heavy , rains to settle the transported soil several times before the final grading, ploughing and thorough tilling An, the spring. This. will ,prevent .,depressions de- :veloping, afterwards in your lawn. •anti tennis ,court 13efete; ; seeding, a ,finer conditions of tiilth ,is required: •than :for any farm crop.

The beat grass for shade and open lawns: is the. Kentucky Blue Grass.. It is sown at the rate.of.about GO lbs or 4 bushels Per acre. It weighs 14 lbs; to the, bushel:,- The. seed :mer- chants sell reliable 'mixtures these usually contain a large'percent-age of Kentucky . Blue Grass 'and White Clover, Timothy and Red Top, ;when added to the mixture, are satisfactory grasses for making a permanent lawn. To secure a 'satisfactory seeding; take about' half of the seed 'for the erea and sow the area one way, carefully by hand. then take the other half 'and Sow across the first seeding. By this glean you would• avoid any misses and secure an _. even :stand. To avoid having the lawn bare dur- ing' the early sunnier, sow pats at the rate of,from• 44 to 5 bushels -per acre before the last ;cutlivation in preparation for seeding. This will form a clense greensward within' three weeks, and •though requiring frequent cutting with, the lawn mow- er, will not only make a beautiful lawn, but will serve as a nurse crop, for' the grasses until they are well established Cover', your lawn' seed with a garden rake and roll from time to time after rain.

Some ten years ago the Federal Department of, A.gricultore succeeded in averting the very near danger, of its introduction into Canada from abroad, principally from Europe. The Department then placed an••eni-. bargo against,: the importation'.:of potatoes' from Europe with the usual' emphatic objections generally result- ing from such measures, To -day Canada has every i• ea:son to be grateful for the foresight'' of the Department. In Great Britain not- withstanding every effort towards the eradication of the disease,: some 22,0000 cases and more have been reported during the period of. one !(recent) year. The disease affects potatoes in various degrees of sever- ity; either' there niay be slight infection or wholesome destruction,of the crop, rendering useless all efforts to harvest a 'yield. .Moreover" the disease' persists under certain conditions in the soil .for 10-15.years, always. re Infecting a crop, even.,when panted after an ;.ihtervnl of so many years' duration. The presence of'tlie disease has caused Great Britain and other European ,countries ' serioui. losses, not alone within their own borders but also in the valuable ex-. port 'trade in potatoes. Canada is quite, 'free from this disease which causes such serious losses 'in other countries; but the -danger once more ;jeans on -the horizon„',;;since this 'disease has been discovered in certain eras of the .United, States: Canadian farmer Are ,well advised to continue theirvigilance, especially as potatoes imported from the States are concerned.
