BEAUTIFUL LAWNS
Starting a Lawn
One of the ;first jobs to be carried
., out after a new house is built is that
of making the lawn. The soil must
be put in fair condition, as; grass re-
quires food just the same as flowers,
1Vlalre the surface level, To Ao''this
It is well to rake over as evenly as
possible two or three times, giving
rains and perhaps 'a freeze or two a
chance to settle the 0011 in between
raking% :Remove all broken bricks,
stones, sticks and similar •material,
just as soon as you an get on the soil
in the spring without jetting your
shoes muddy. It is beet to sow the
Seed in the evening or on a dull daY
when there is no wind, One pound
of seed is required for every two hun-
dred square feet, and where the
place is shaded special seed should
be used. Roil in thoroughly, or ifno
roller is 'available use a pounder. The
grass should be cut with a sharp mow-
er as soon as it is a few inches .high:
One of the best fertilizers to use on
the new lawn or on any lawn in the
Spring Is nitrate of soda. The best
way to apply is to broadcast at the
rate of about one tablespoonful to
the square yard during or just before
a rain, If' the shower does not mate-
rialize, water the fertilizer in with the
hose, so that there will be no chance
of it burning the young plants, Some
people prefer. to dissolve the nitrate
in, water, about one ounce to the gal-
lon, one gallon of this mixture being
sufficient for a square yard, This. 18
a good way to apply the fertilizer in
the vegetable or flower garden also.
In the Fall, just before the heavy
snow arrives, a light dressing of
strawy barnyard manure is advisable.
This should be raked off after .the
snow and frost disappear in the
spring.

Garden hints—The best way to tell
the vegetables from the weeds is to
watch your neighbor's chickens,

Some Paints to Consider
In this ,country, the denten(' for
flower seeds is 'overtaking that for
vegetables, because invariably ' the
amateur, and even the very practical
one, who starts with a vegetable gar-
den, with few flowers attached, will
gradually swing to the lighter and
tore beautiful side of gardening,' On
account of this heavy demand for
flowers, and the multitude of varieties
from which • one can make a selec-
tion, it is important to place seed
orders early, Too often one will ar-
rive at the seed store sometime in
late May only to find that the favor-
ite seeds or bulbs are no longer ':n'
stock. First of all, get those seeds
that need to be started in boxes in-
doors. Select your standard varie-
ties first, but include a few novelties
for sake of gaining 'experience. It
Is better to order improved strains
of, favorite old plants than the old
and plainer strains we knew in
earlier years. Practically every well
known flower has been improved re-
cently, this being particularly true of
zinnias, asters, sweet peas, and•scabi-
osas, Have your•. order balanced,
that is include flowers for cuttings,
bedding, edging, and for fragrance.
A few nicotine should always be in -
eluded, not for their beauty of foliage
ki
or flower ,which is not striking, ng, but
for the penetrating and spicy scent
afterevening
fte has fallen. Seed of
annual poppies, larkspurs, and
batchelor's button may be sown out-
side
utside on the last snow, if one is not
particular whether; they are washed
about abit, or just as soon as the soil
can be prepared. Sweet peas should
also be put in at this time, in March,
preferrably, but if this is not possible,
April or very early in May. ,
Rotate the Vegetables
Even In the smallest garden, it is
advisible to rotate, that is move your
vegetables around from year co year.
One vegetable grown in exactly the
same location each year will exhaust
all the particular fertilizer that vege-
table requires, and may fill the 'soil
full of disease.. Then too some lege=
urinous crops, such a; peas and beans
which actually add fertilizer to the
soil, . must be moved around so the
whole garden will benefit, These will
compensate 'for the gross feeders
like corn, beets and carrots. Take
a chance 00 sowing a few rows of
vegetables extra early, but save the,
bulk of the seed until the time speci-
fied In the seed Catalogue, with a lit-
tle left over 't0 replant any spots
which inay have been visited by rab-

Immigration
London Daily Express: An unfor-

coming to suspect immigration from

a completely superficial view, but they
are not to be blanited for holding it.

Unemployment and
Emigration ,
Britannia (London): A producer is
also a consumer, and if we send away
a producer with his family we are
getting rid of perhaps four consumers,
and that surely means that our home
manufacturers are losing valuable
customers. The Dominions 'and for-
eign countries are all increasing their
producingplants behind tariff bar-
riers, and making it more difficult for
us to find consumers overseas, Where
then is the advantage of sending away
the consumers we already have? A
generation ago the Colonies, purchased
their manufactured goods very large-
ly from us, and our emigrants still re-
mained customers for our industries,
but this Is not the case to -day. Emi-
gration may be highly necessary to

Dominion Status
Toronto Star (Ind,): It appears to
be impossible for a certain kind of
mind to entertain the idea that there
can be a permanent relation between
Britain en dthe Dominions far more
satisfactory far more certain of en-
during, than a colonial relation of sub-
ordination and dependence. The
statesmen of the Empire who at the
last Imperial Conference evolved the
British Commonwealth of Nations .per-
ceived clearly that great and flourish-
ing Dominions must inevitably arrive
at the headof their experience as
colonies and that they must have .a
larger and freer scope of action with-
in the range c-0 the British system.
The old idea was that a colony must
forever remain a colony or it must
grow up and move out. The Imperial
Conference devised a plan whereby
the Dominions could grow up without
moving out. There has been no con-
ception so fine and inspiring in the
history of the British sh peo le.

early age,
During the years one learns how to

good taste in clothes should also be
acquired. The ability to enjoy clothes,
far from being something to frown

It is now possible to gratify chil-

income means that one must put
more thought into buying. Lady
