LAYING DOWN A LAWN. When it is desired to form a la.vn, the ground should be trenched as directed for tho vegetable garden any time during the autumn. If tho plotcan be prepared in March, a season may be gained by sowing the grass seed during that month ; the surface must bo thoroughly pulverised and trodden down firmly. The following is a good mixture, if procurable:— Crested Dog-tail, 2lljs; Festuca tonu-i----foiia. 4'lbs; Eestuca duruscula, 21bs; Loliuni tenuifolia perenne, 201bs; White clover ,21bs; Trifolium minor, 81bs; Poa Nemoralis and Sempervirens 41 bs of eacli. This mixture will -uf(ice for half an acre, and will form a very good lawn, and if kept cut close answers most soiln. Special mixtures for laying down lawns may also be nad from any seedsman. Some of our native poas ami other grasses would answer admirably lor lawn purposes. Tf the ground is of a retentive nature, sowing the seeds should be deferred till August. Commence to cut as soon as tho machine will act. Soino irefer tho scythe for the first time of cutting. Roll previous to mowing; this will save the knives ot the mower.

Mrs Manz, Wellsborne-street.

People told me that the pain was caused by my kidneys being disordered, but all the medicines, and the liniments I rubbed in, did me no good. Then, when } ' as at a loss what to try next, 1 heard about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and I got some. These Pills proved the right thinjr for me; I am quite cured now. They are a splendid remedy for the kidneys, and I recommend them to other sufferers."

I am eighty-three years of age, and I think it wonderful that this medicine has cured me so thoroughly at my time of life."
