Acquiring A Sod.
Yc oft£n look \vith surprise at the
te of time and money many people
mit to acquiring a sod for a lawn, or
Int of it, or for a yard, in buying some
sod, containing many weeds hard to
Isi rid of, haulihg it and thus employing
1 and carts to sec tin* even enough for
I
nail space, when a much better sod
r 'be obtained from sowing grass seed on
Hand prepared the same as if intended
*a gaiden crop. Lately we had occasion
t. jod a space left in our lawn by there
/al of four large trees of the Norway
face variety. The ground was very few
les in depth in preparing it, and was
| ly in poor condition for the purpose;
in'de no manure was applied. About
>h pound of mixed “lawn grass seed”
ii sown, and a garden-roller passed
tin* it. This was about the 20th ol
nl. About the Ist of May the grass
.dc its appearance; bv the 28th the
ii. * 1
lund was covered, and by the 3d ol
|i;e it was clipped, and by the 12tb
, e>pcd a second time. Thus in six weeks
jihad anew sod, fresh and vigorous,
aot weeds, and much superior to the
psod adjacent. But it would he better
l could the ground have been prepared
it should have been. The excuse of
I'ding this space, buying cutting,
oiling and putting down and watering
fuld not have been less than fifteen
sllars; while the expense of seeding and
aing as nothing else was done to it, was
"■jut one dollar and twenty-five cents
. told.

, j/sonal attention to the minute details
lj l his farm. There are a thousand
all leaks about the nianag: meat of an
. i . °
linary larm, that, if not closely at
|ided to, will surely bring the most
id-working farmer to ruin and bank
a )tcy. A large portion of the fanners
r ji attribute their present condition to
other cause than a lack of close aPen
l<n to the small details of the farm.
yOse supervision to the machinery,tools,
and their feet, a place for every
thing and cveryehing in its place. No
l.ed help is as much interested in at
yiling to these duties as the farmer
i rt nseli. Such a course would in a few
r, c >nths or years at most, enable many

I ide to again begin to ascend, and it
