Better Lawns Make Better Homes
There are many mistalies made in
the establishment of lawns and in.
their subsequent management. In or-
der to make a good lawn the soil must
be fairly fertile or it is pecessary that
it be made so by proper fertilization.
The regular use of euitable fertilizers
is also necessary.
Tht best time to insure a good soil
for a lawn Is at the time when the
excavating and the grading are done.
Frequently a good site that is natural-
ly fertile is matte ueproductive or un-
desirable by covering it over with
isulasoil taken from another location,
that is, from basements or sections
that are moved in grading. Not Infre-
quently building rubbish, ashes, ein-
' tiers, cans and other debris are cover-
ed with a thin layer of soil, tho e -
suit being a. very unsatisfactory pro-
duction of desirable grasses. A very
good rule to follow Is, keep at least
six inches of rich soil pn the surface.
This six inches or more of soil should
be fine in texture or a loam or clay
loam material, inasmuch as they are
the best for the production of most all
grasses that are grown me lawns. They
dry out less quickly and retain added
fertilizers to much better advantage
than do the sandy soils.
1Vhere drainage conditions are not
good they should be corrected by the
laying of tile at proper depths with
suitable outlets. If the subsoil is very
heavy or impervious the surface eon.
is likely to hold° too much water or
become waterlogged, resulting in un-
sanitary conditions, and usually an un-
satisfactory growth of grasses.
If, on the other hand, the sub -soil
Is very porous or sandy, the lawn must
be watered very frequently and fertil-
ized more often than if it is heavy in
texture. In the establishment of a
lawn, if it is available, a generous ap-
plication .of well -decayed or rotted
stable manure is desirable. This
should be worked well into the soil,
the application consisting of about
four hundred to eight hundred pounds
per square rod. The use of well -rotted
manure is advantageous because there
is Much less danger of the introduc-
tion of undesirable weed seed, some
of which may prove objeetionable
later on.
After the manure has been applied
either hydrated lime at the rate of
about fifteen pounds per square rod
or air -slaked lime, or finely pulverized
limestone at the rate of about twenty,
pounds per square rod or dried marl
at the rate of about twenty-five
pounds per square rod should be add-
ed to the soil, and worked into it when
the land is prepared for seeding. In
addition it is advisable to apply four
pounds of sixteen per cent. acid phos-
phate Per square rod.
When the seed -bed has been ex-
tremely finely pulverized and leveled
down the seeding may be made. As a
general rule the Kentucky bluegrass
makes the most popular and most suc-
cessful grass, forming an excellent
turf. Some seed a mixture of grasses,
however, such. as the bluegrass and
the English or Italian rye grass.
Where three parts of the bluegrass
and one part of the Dnglisla rye grass
is used in the mixture, about 'half a
pound is usually seeded on a square
rod. , A mixture of bluegrass and White
clover. Is also a Very Po -Pular one. Pre-
cautions should* be taken' in all cases
to obtain grasses 7ct7hOSU percentages
of.germination are lug . some in-
stances, mixtUrga of low. percentages
are placed op the market.
Following. the establishment of the
lawn for best results it -should be care-
fully handled ancl not neglected. A
very goad rule to follow is to never
•peeenit the lawn grass to •go to eeop.,
inasmuch as this tends -to cause it to
deteriorate, and emult e,poor or un-
satisfactory laWn. A Toint that is fre-
Grow Perennials.
July is an ideal time to sow the
seeds of such hardy plants as pinks,
columbine, perennial larkspurs'fox-
gloves, pansies, sweetawilliants, Shas-
ta daisies, and many others. These
will make a nice growth in the fall
seed bed, and will bloom at the regu-
lar time next spring. The clumps
wild not be quite eo large as those
from seeds sown in May, but the
May -sown plants will not bloom the
first year, so there is not much gained
by planting them. You tan plant the
fall -sown plants semewhat thiekee,
and in transpla-uttieg have more
chance to cut out inferior plants,
• Most of these plants like a. loose
enellow, loam that will, not pack ,or
ran. Woods soil with plenty of leaf
mold is ideal. Sow the seeds in rows.
Do not crowd the rows-. The seeds
sthould be covered not -ovee a vertex
to half an inch, and kept moist until

weeks for most of the common var-
ieties. Sorne are slower to germinate

ones. Thin the plants in the rows
if too thick, but a half-inch space will
serve until transplanting time, except
for such strong growers as hollyhocks.
The seed bed slaoulcl be well culti-
vated to give the little plants a
chance to make a good growth. As
cold weather draws near, let them
get pretty dry to harden them up.
Water the bed well before giving pro-
tection, if it is not already moist. This
mulch can be any coarse materialebut
tree.leaves are probably best. Straw
free from 'fine chaff will serve, or
coarse hay. Anything that will pack
will strut eff too much air. A, good
water tight roof , should- be placed
over all. 'The ,bect should be high

Many of the most auccessful lawns
are rolled, Especially is titii desirable
In the case of a new lawn. This Is
done TO compact the soil and cause
the grass roots to take a firm hold.
Frequently the grass roots are loosen-
ed by the freezing•and thawing during
the a•luter season and rolling is neces-
sary to overcome this condition. In
other instances angle wornts leave the
WW1 in a roughened -condition and the
rolling overcomes this,
Mistakes are sometimes made in
watering lawns. It is better to thor-
oughly soak the soil by laying the hose
ea the ground and permitting the
water to flow freely on one part for
an hour or so and then move it to an-
other place, The sprinklieg method is
satisfactory If continued long enough,
but frequently this is not done. The
soil dries out Nettle the 'exceptfon of
the very shallow layer at the surface.
Only surface applications of fertil-
izers to establish lawns are made.
Where stable manure is used it should
be applied very early in the spring. In
some instances mistakes are made by
applying fresh manure in too large
quantities, there being too muck solu-
ble material added for the grass, the
result being either the killing out of
the grass, comrnonly spoken of as
burning out, or a decided Setback to
it. If fresh manure only is available
it should be applied very uniformly
over the surface at the rate of one
hundred and twenty-five pounds per
square rod. As previously stated, how-
ever, the rotted manure is better on
account of less danger of the intro-
duction of some of the troUblesome
weeds. The manure should be ea:re-
fully removed from the lawn shortly
after the grass begins to grow in the
spring. Where the manure is not
made use of top -dressings of nitrate of
soda at the time growth begins may
be used at the rate of from one-quar-
ter to one pound per square rod. Pre-
caution should. be taken to spread it
uniformly over the surface and when
the grail is not moist, or when the
dew is not on it; otherwise, the leaves
of the grazes_ may be burned or in-
jured by the nitrate. ,Subsequent ap-
plications of similar quantities may be
made as the lawn demands it. In some
Instances the nitrate of soda is dis-
solved in water and sprinkled on the
lawn; usually, however, thts is not
necessary.
Ammonium sulphate should not be
applied to lawns that are growing
bluegrass or white clover ifiasmuch as
it will cause them to disappear and
other less desirable ones may come in.
It should not be overlooked, hawever,
that if the soil is limed about every
four years, topdressings of ammonium
sulphate without lime drives out the
injurious effect to these plants.. In-
vestigations on the use of ammonium
sulphate and sodium nitrate on lawns
over a period of twenty years or more
show conclusively that the use of am-
monium sulphate without lime drives
out the bluegrass and clover, as well
as several other grasses, and also a
number of troublesome weeds that
may come into the lawn. If one is de-
sirous of growing such grasses as the
red-top,.:"bent grasses. and "some of the
fescues, the ammonium sulphate
should be used and the soil left acid. „
Acid phosphate should be applied: to
the lawn about every two years at the
rate of three handrod ,pounds per
acre, although finely ground Ihnestone
as a carrier of phosphorus may be
used about twice at the rate of five
pounds per square rod.

Athens and Alexandria, and was reck-

Why ,Cool Air is Bracing:
Every one knows the bracing effect
of a walk on a windy day. Now the
secret of this feeling of vigor has been
explained in a report issued by the In-
dustrial Fatigue Research Board,
which has been making experiments in
factories throughout England, says a
London despatch.
It is pointed out that a cool skin
encourages exercise, stimulates deeper
breathing, increases circulation and
aids digestion. The physical proper-
ties of air benefit the body, and when
one battles with a sharp autumn wind
It is the "air bath" that gives the feel-
ing of vigor with which all are fa-
miliar.
Factory owners and theatre and
moving picture proprietors are advised
that for the most benefloial results
their rooms should be cool, rather
than hot; dry, rather than damp, w:th
a diversity in temperature and a bri:,k
air movement.
The committee also states that the
color of clothing worn has a marked
effect en body temperature, darker
clothing being warmer, irrespective of
material.
