THE. MAKING .0E iA LAWN.
(Experimental Farms Note).
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.

' The'. seeding should be very heavy
The best lawns, are_ made by :having
a -great' many fine stalks. - of grass.
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.

Potato Canker ,or "Wart disease”
of the potato is'a disease happily
only known -to most Canadian fanniers
by its name, perhaps to sone'few by
its notoriously dangerous character
to the potato . growing industry- in
other : countries.
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. The person who
through neglect on itis' part causes,
,the disease to become, established in
Canada, will tame •• this , country

Then I asked him why he hadn't put
up ice, •"Well," he ,said, "It was too'
much bother."
A glance' at the f'igures in this
man's account will show that he, lost
$22.40 that; nsonth :by .not haying ice.

To knowhow much ice to put up
the following is a sa.fe,rule to follow:
If engaged in the city Milk "trade the
farther should put up two tons of ice
per cow, if 'supplying cream, one ton'
per cow is.sufncient, and four tons for''
household' us'a •
In putting up ice, one foot below
the ice,.. one foot along each sideaand.
tis'o feet above'should be allowed fbr'
the. sawdust. If -the ,weather is cola;
it is -a good plan to pack damn snow
between the cakes. Thisprevents
the air from melting the ice.
Tee may be stored' in the corner of
a„ Woodshed or optbuilding, but it
_better to have a )anilding especially
built 4for ;the purpo`e, because the
dampneskis apt to. rot sills and walls.'
In, building,, two 'thins are lessen -
tial, , drainage and , ventilation Un-
less :the soil is' sandy, o, ,few„idoses
of gravel under the ice,'with a drain
to' carry off the water' is necessary.
By having. openings, in the .•gables , a
draught . can bel, secur'erl„ which will
carry away the warm air under the
roof. Plans and ,suggestions for ,farm
ice houses can be obtained free from
the Central Experimental karat, Ot-
tawa, or from your nearest Experi-
mental Station.
As ice often conies into direct con-
; tact with food and drink it is import-
' ant to secure.it.as clean as possible.
It should never be taken.:: from
streams or ponds into, which there is
any drainage from houses or. barns.
Disease.: germs lying dormant . in the,•
ice may become very active if they
'get into man's food..
Good, Clear ice,,. free from snow,
harvested before it begins to 1)1e1t, is
the best: • .

A PLEASANT SURPRISE
A Minto farmer whose farm adjoins
the town, 'went into a local bank on
Monday,' to borrow a small sum ;4,
money to matte up the amount to pay
his taxes, When he was informed
that he had money :on, deposit in the,
bank he scoffed at the assertion of
the manager, who then turned ;up the
bank books and showed him a depos-
it of some 'four 'hundred and some odd
dollars made five years ago, which to-
gether with the interest for that time
brought the total .rap to nearly five
hundred dollars. A>' pleasant surprise,
surely! This farmer, being a bach-
elor, will 110 doubt, buy his best girl
a diamond ring for Christmas.—}Tar_
Aston Review. -
Question: Had ' the farmer been
married, would he have had the bal-
ance?
al-ance?
