Life is full of surprises—some
good, some bad. I never know
from one week to the next what
this column will contain. So
here we go again, with a little
of each.
I'll start off by telling you
something that particularly ap-
peals to my sense of humour.
You may remember that some
time ago we sold all our milk-
ing cows. We were through with
dairy farming . .`. but definitely.
Partner being so stiff with arth-
ritis it seemed the only safe and
sensible thing to do. But he re-
lented to the point of keeping
one cow, due to freshen in Sep-
tember—just so we wouldn't
have to buy milk all the time.
So whet happens? Yesterday
our Jane calved right on sche-
dule, in a secluded Corner of
the pasture. Miring. the morn-
ing Partner went over to see if
she was all right, and what do
you suppose he found? Twin
calves, no less"— and both of
them heifers! So that's how We
go out of dairy farming, One
of the calves was frisking
around, the other was busily
getting her first meal.
My other main item of farm
news is not so good. Rusty, our
promising watch-dog puppy was
hit by a car yesterday and has
a broken leg as a result. Part.
ner was down at the lane gate
with the tractor. Both dogs were
with him. Apparently Rusty ran
on to the road just as a fast-
Moving car was approaching
. • and he had it. It wasn't •the
driver's fault; Rusty just didn't
have sense enough to get out
of the way. He never has' been
car-eonscious. How e.v e r, al-
though hie leg is definitely frac-
tured the 'vet' thinks if we keep
him quiet the bone will knit of
its own accord. We hope so any-,
Way—he is just a happy, affec-
tionate, over-grown puppy—and
an excellent watch-dog.
All this happened while I was

How To Build Or
Renovate a LAM'
Autumn is lawn-making time.
If you already have a lawn, this
is the best fiat of year to reno-
vate it, If you have such a
miserable "lawn" that you feel
Yen should dig, it up and begin
over, now is your chance, If you
have moved this summer into a
new home, you can have a lawn
'by next spring by planting it
new,
'he warmish days end cool
nights of a normal' September
in the northern parts of the
temperate zone are ideal for
grass plantS, heavy dew and
frequent rains make for a good
germination of seed and a deep
development of root systems,
Even if your lawn is a thick,
weedless turf this is the time to
give it a final-season feeding,
There are good organic lawn
foods on the market, or a reli
able chemical food can be used.
If possible, put the plant food
on with a spreader, Lacking a
spreader broadcast the food as
evenly `as .possible in two direc-
tions, half lengthwile, half
crosswise. If you ae using
chemical food, knock it off the
grass blades with the back of
the rake, 'to keep it from burn-
ing them.
Work whichever plant food
you use into the soil with a
steel rake or a spike tamp, be-
ing careful not to harm the
crowns of grass plants. On areas
having established turf, water
this plant food into the soil.
Bare spots should be spaded
up and fed, after which a well
prepared seed bed should be
made. Areas with only a thins'
stand of grass can be scratched
up only enough to aerate the
surface, then fed, and later
planted: Before seeding where
established turf is growing,
loosen the top soil as much as
you safely can with rake or
spike tamp to give the seed a
chance to find lodgment.
A few days after feeding, give
the lawn a deep soaking (or
Welt until rains do this for you)
and sow a good grade of grass
seed.
Follow directions on the con-
taiser as to amounts to sow.
Good seed has a high germina-
tion index, therefore should be
planted sparingly. Grass that
comes up too thick will be too
crowded. Seeding heavily is
therefore wasteful. It is also„,
poor economy to seed too heav-
ily on poor soil. A given area
of soil can support only a lim-
ited number of plants and poor
soil can support even fewer.
After seeding, roll Or tamp
the lawn to imbed the seed, and
keep the ground moist with a
fine spray. Established grass
had best be kept cut to• an inch
where new grass is coming up.
This will keep baby grass plants
from being smothered. Grass
clippings and leaves should be
carefully removed. Light brush
or some Other protective means
should keep humans and pets
off of the• tender new growth.
Before any of these opera-
tions are undertaken, you may
need to get rid ;of weeds. There
are several weed-control prod-
ucts.
If you are making an entirely
new lawn, spade the whole area ..
to a depth of at least six, inches,
pulverize it thoroughly, then
feed, seed; roll or tamp, and
keep it moist.
Most lawns need some seed-
ing after a hot summer. If an
established law n indicates
(through a soil -test) .a need of
liming, apply it a week 'or more
ahead' Of feeding, and water it
into the ground, Otherwise,
wait until the ground is frozen.
With a program that includes
this comparatively' easy autumn
care, you should have a good
lawn next spring.
Tots get ready for bed fast
when they can pull P.J.'s out of
