The first thing to do is to remove all the dead grass by giving the lawa -a thorough raking and at- tention should be directed to fixing up the bare patches by sowing fresh seed. The seed should be broadcast evenly oil the bare patches after they available on the market and may be have beeu raked to the depth of two inches. The seed should• then be cov- ered lightly with a sprinkling of sift- ed soil and packed down firmly. The patches shottid be kept moist, ,but not flooded. for at least two weeks through the application of a fine pray, Fertilizer is necessary for the lawn and should be applied just as soon as the raking and seeding have been done; and as soon as the fertilizer has been applied it should be well wafered in, care (being 'taken to use a fine spray, so that the seed is not disturb- ed in the 'newly seeded areas. When the time .for cutting arrives, which is as soon as the grass is long enough to allow the mower to function properly, regularity in the process should be observed, and it is a mistake to, allow the grass to grow over two inches at any time. Reliable grass mixtures may be ob tuned .from seedsmen but for those people who wish to mix their own, L. C. Young of the Dominion. Ex- perimental 'Farm at Fredericton who, as a Canadian authority on grasses, has lectured on hone lawns in the United States, recommends for the average lawn a mixture of four parts Kentucky Bluegrass and one part Red Top at the rate of three to four pounds per LBW square feet of lawn. if it is desired •to include White Clo- ver, one-eighth part .should he added to the mixture. Where the elP to Mix- ture int try does not give satisfactory results oiling to local conditions, Rhode Is- land Bent .grass should he .used at the rate of two to three pounds per 4400 square feet. For shady areas, one- third the quantity of Rough -Stalked Meadow grass shout,i be added. Fall - me to grow grass in shady place is due more often to conditions of low fertility and lack of moisture than to the shade itself.

Consumption of the products manufactured from milk, except butter, has almost doubl- ed. This has- aided materially •in broadening and consolidating a more dependable market ifor the whole twelve months of the year. "Surplus" 'milk is a term applied generally to this milk [produced for sale by dairy farms in excess of the amount 'whioh urban dwellers con- sume in -fluid •form. The farmer re- ceives less for this surplus .milk than lie does for his 'fluid naiik. The reason is that most of the products into which this surplus milk is made 'may be shipped all over the country. Therefore these products, such as butter, cheese, etc„ are subject to competition from all sections of the counbry. And their selling prices are determined by national market con- ditions, For instance, butter in On- tario Carmol sell ,for ntucit more than it does in Quebec, as holders of but- ter in \Quebec would quickly ship 'di- rectly to 'Ontario, bringing prices to prevailing nation-wide levels, It is against this nation-wide price that the farmar's sunplus milli has to compete, - The farmer receives his highest price for fluid milk sold to urban centres, The reason for this is partly the increased cost to ,the farmer of producing milk under the strict city regulations, and partly that fluid Milk tanttot be economically brought from cry lar away from the city, so that the competitive area is limited. - t)i.stributing t lits of this fluid milk are also decesearily considerable.

Behind the apparently simple deli- very system in every city there are large numbers of workers engaged in pasteurizing bottling, capping, refri- gerating and in washing and steriliz- ing :the machines which make it pos- sible for the city dweller to get the safest and best milk in the world.

'They had with them a Swiss guide from the little colony of Swiss moun- tain men now settled at ,Glacier; and besides guns and food for five •days, they took a small tent. ' ire had crossedthe rarsge, follow- ing the course of old snowslides; and one evening we pitched the tent in a little hollow which a slide had swept out clean 1500 winters 'before. Just at dark it hegaas to snow; and later we were all inside the tesat, round a little oil -stove, having supper. There was a wax candle tied to a stick, stuck in the ground between us. Suddenly Calgard, who was eating and talking, stopped short, his eyes opened wide: then he pointed silently to the wall of the tent directly behind. Weeks. Something from the outside was poking in the canvas where it teas bulging in, The result was moot astonishing! \\'e heard an angry grunt, and then the whole tent, poles pegs and all, was swept from over us—torn clear away, and hurled to a distance of ten or twelve feet! • Ali four of us were somewhat bang- ed about by the poles, ,pegs and lines, but we jumped to our feet in `time to see a shadowy object disappearing in the darkness. , It wsss a -grizzly but we had never heard of one approaching a as in that way before. As a cute, they shy, and they hate correct ideas as to nuns. Calgard supposed that, on account' ,f the snow -storm, this bear vas rov- ing uneasily about, looking for a ,place to hibernate in; but it noayz have- bees hnneer merely which had incited hint, or curiosity to learn what that dim, luminous white object could be,' With the first light the next morn- ing the Engliehmen set off to trail the bear. It was spiting snow, cold and cloudy, but the bear's tracks were visible, large tracks, six by trine inches. I did not like to show the white feather, and so slung on my camera and 'followed them in the snow, although 1 would have much preferred going back to the mine. 'The even more •reluctant Swiss guide toil- ed on far behind us, with the tent and a pack of food on his back. That surpassed alt the long, hard tramps I load ever taken. Till then I had 'little notion What travellers griz- zlies are, or 'how they pick up their living, We followed: for ,three or four miles round the foot of the mountain, and came to where the bear ,Bail made his first -bid for breakfast by digging out a Columbian ground -squirrel. These Northern 'Gophers are nearly as large as a gray ,squirrel, but of course one of them would make hardly a south fel for a grizzly. It .seemed an absurd amount of work on •the bear's part for so small a titbit: he had dug down fully three feet into bard. rock gr'oun'd, the top of which was frozen; But per- haps the sweetness of the morsel re- paid him for his toil. It seemed so, for we soon 'came to where he had stopped to dig out several others. But if at first this looked to he a great deal of hard digging. we had yet to see what a .grizzly can do in that respect. About five chiles further round this mountain, to the south- west, we saw- where he had stopped to do some digging in real earnest. to unearth a burrow of hoary marmots, or whistling marmots, as they ' are generally called 'here. !!hese animals are about the size of the woodchuck of the Eastern States, and when fat weigh from twelve to eighteen pounds, The borrow was in the side of the nlottn•taini we saw the ,hu•ge pile of fresh earth which .the bear had dug- out ugout, and not only dirt, but stones, : great. fiat angular rocks, weighing three or four hundred pounds. !These ' be ,had wrenched out and sent rolling clown the mountainside. He got the marmots, as blotches of blood plainly showed; ;but to reach • thent.-he; had dug a hale fully eight, feet deep, carried .back fourteen or fif- teen feet into the mountainside,' ant!'' he had thrown but more than : four car -hilus of earth. - The twoErgdishnitn were astonish- ed "Could the bear have done that?" Vl-eekc said to Hie. "What else could?” I asked hint. (To be co-ncluded) a FOR READERS OF THIS PAPER FRIENDS!
