The best method of watering the grass la to apply a spray for from 6 to 12 hours, the stream being so gentle that water will not collect in | pufficient quantities to run off. The. water will then sink down into th? I soil and the roots?will grow to a ' greater depth. When this method is used, the lawn should not be wi t tered oftener than twice a week and n then the ground should be soaked o so that the waler penetrates for sev p erai inches beneath .the tux-race. At g a general rule, watering once a weet g 1b sufficient to keep a lawn In good d condition. ,t The man who enjoys watering his 0 lawn in the evening for half hour afi, ter returning frox^ work, will prob h ably prefer 'tkis method to leavihg v the stream on for a number of hotlrr e once a week. If he will divide hit n lawn area in..6 parts and confine his if attention to a different part each > evening, he will obtain practically n the same results in the long rtin. ej, Haphasard Watering every evehihg (-' is not advisable. He should be carea ful also to use merely a gehtle spray n and not continue watering to such an | it extent that'water runs off, As sdcb water does ho good* in fact, it may I. do harm, for it may remove loose \ dirt from the grass rOofp add expose i- them to drtfught. Tha strong stream il of a hose .should not be used, as it a helps to expose the roots unnecessarily. i- Many pdople wonder -why drought t- dries up their lawns in July after I. they have taken what they* consider i- to be good qarn of them, 'the com>f binatlon of hot winds and dry d | weather makes Ju^y undoubtedly rs the hardest month for lawns, and when the roots of the grass are encouraged to grow near the surface i by bad watering, and the Iooee dirt is also removed from them.by a hose of.

Grass could be cut "long" so that the roots will be protected after cutting. This means, says the Department of Agriculture's landscape gardener, that the lawn mower should be set just as high as It will go. Lawns should be <iut frequently and In.ordinary cases whoULthe cuttings ate normal they should be left Where they 'fall, notwithstanding the contrary opinien of the energetic per son who follows uf> bis cuttings by raking with an Iron rakd. Lwwus sboald never be raked with an Iron rake, except to prepare them for the sowing of grass sde4, (or such raking barrowB up the soil. N'ditber should mey do swept. I If the ttfllgent caretaker of a lawn I must follow up the cutting by some other operation, only a wooden raka I should be tfsed, and this should be employed careftrfi? bo as not to disturb such of the grut* clippings as have sifted down around (he foots. These grass clippings that settle *round the roots afford them a very important protection and will do much to keep the lawn in fine condition when there is lack of rain later in the season, for they will hold the moisture and act as a shield from the sun. In fact, the graBg cuttings are generally needed about the roots and should not detract from the looks of the lawn, for they soon shrivel, dry up. and work their way down, so btat they ate no longer noticed. Grasses are naturally coolclimate plants and are liable to be harmed by the hot sun about its roots.
