Country Gentleman gives the following advice about preparing a lawn for seeding and also for turfing, explaining its suggestions with the cuts here repro- duced. To make it sufficiently rich, finely broken manure must be worked in through the soil; this will aid in giving a green lawn in times of drought. The application of pulverized lime, at the rate of a peck toa square rod, will be useful, if well harrowed or raked in. The grass seed should be sown on a finely parts corn meal. for half a and Pets. the seed over half an inch, and warm and moist weather will soon give the new green carpet.

Treatment of Breeding Ewes. farmers give to their grass not be mowed closely all. each more speedy way of securing a lawn, wlicre the sur face is limited, is by turfing. The work, how yever, must be well done or it will be rough and lumpy, like Fig. 1, which repr esents a section of a badly laid turf. If properly performed it will be smooth:and even, as shown in Fig. 2. To secure this smoothness the turt must be cut from a compact Das ture, in squares, with accurate sides, and made uniformly thick inverting upside down before laying, by on a boar d and shaviiig with a sharp hoe, as shown in Fig, 8. Lay these accurately on the well prepared deep soil already described, early in spring. An Ftem About Ducks. . If the incubation is natuxalthe duck is in the opinion of many the best setter, but the hen is the best mother, especially if a pond or water course is accessible. The eggs once hatched, away hies mother duck to the nearest water. Whether anxious to reduce the number of bills to be met or what, she with her little brood is soon afloat. If the mother duck would hover over her charge after leaving the water until they were dried. no harm would fellow the swim, and the plumage would be the better for it. But this’she will not do, and instead she leads ‘the chilled ducklings upon a foraging’expedi- tion from which, if any survive, they are stunted, and from such drawback the bird never fully recovers. It is for this reason that the hen is the better mother. With the hen they can be kept within the limits of a pen, whereas the duck mother would be ‘restless in the confinement. After the first'week the ducklings may have water'in a shallow pan to dabble in, and if with a hen mother may have fully liberty. Value of a Good Terrier.
