Sod Soiled Back to Remove Hump or Fill Up a Depression. Before rolling fresh laid sod should stand a little above the surrounding level. Beaters are only.nscd when a roller eannot be obtained. The most frequent cause of thin grass is impoverished soil. Every lawn Bhould be treated with a dressing of manure or rich soil at least once a year, in spring or autumn. At such times grass seed may also be sown.

At the present time lawns will be greatly benefited by an application of nitrato of soda, at the rate of half an ounco to the gallon of water, applied once a week or onee in two weeks. Dried and pulverized stable or sheep manure can also bo applied now by sprinkling it lightly over the lawn once every three or four weeks. Canning Suggestions ANT ONE with ordinary intelli gence ean make a suecess of can ning tomatoes at homo by exer cising care in following the instruc tions given in this bulletin. Common sense, good judgment and experience will make for success in every way. One's individuality is quite as impor tant as rules and formulas. All fruits, vegetables, juices, meats, and foodstufs must bo completely sterilizod and kept in air tight con tainers. Insist upon sanitation. Tho decay and spoiling of fruit and food stuffs is due to bacteria, spores, fer ment germs, etc. Sterilize and cleanse all containers, vegetables and fruit before proceeding with the work. Open boilers are less desirable than the dosed boiler or steam -pressure out fits, as the beat of the water in them eannot exceed 212 degrees F., and the fruit jars must bo kept completely eovered with the water, thus requir ing more time and labor than with the closed outfits. The hot-water eannew with close fitting covers on the boilers do suc cessful work with the ordinary fruits and some vegetables. They operate with little water and much of the ster ilizing is done with live steam in tho upper section of tho boiler. Some of theso boilers carry beat from 212 to 216 degrees F. Steam-pressure eanners are most suo- eessful for canning all kinds of vege tables and meats, because the greater heat and pressure effect complete ster ilization. Steam under pressure raise the heat to abont 250 degrees F. and readily destroys all bacteria and spores In fruit and vegetables. From 5 to II pounds pressure to the square inch is used in successful canning work. Use only fresh fruit and vegetables, and always can fruit the same day it is picked. Tomatoes should first be dipped ia boiling watcT, then chilled in cold water to make them firmer, They will also pack better. , Let tho water come to the boiling point before you lower the fruit into the boiler. Bogin to count time for sterilization when the fruit entcrB the bailing water. Different varieties and different de grees of ripeness require variation in tho length of time given to processing. Soft fruit requires longer boiling than sound fruit. Overripe tomatoes will need to process a few moments longer than if they were jnst ripened, firm and sound, Somo vegetables contain acids that must be destroyed or eliminated before final processing and sealing. This ia usually done by blanching or boiling the vegetables in a weak brine before tilling the cans. Differences in climate, soil and fer tilizer make changes in the chemical and physical properties of tomatoes and affect slightly the time required for sterilization. In spraying with insecticides or fungicides, be careful not to make tha solutions too strong. It wastes mate rial and may injure the foliage.
