A thick growth left on the ground often interferes with mow- ing and raking the following sea- son. Where close feeding has been allowed, the best plan is to top - dress with stable manure in Octo- ber.

When I was there in 1896 the site of Dawson was occupied by a small and squalid Indian village. There is now a city of 10,000 souls, with fine public buildings, churches and banks, wharves and warehouses, to say uothing of the excellent Zero Club, and two theatres.
