THE RULES OF THE iiOAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driving your carriage along, if you bear to the left you are jure to go right, if you turu Lo tin 1 riplit you go wrong.

When it is desired to form a la.vn, Ihe groinnl should be trenched aa directed for the vegetable garden ;>ny time during the autumn. If the plot can be prepared in March, a season may be gained by cowing the grsss seed during that, month ; the surface must bo thoroughly pulverised .uid trodden down iirmly. The following is a good mixture, i! procurable: — Crested Dog-tail, 2lb's; Festuca tennifolia, Jibs; Festuca diiruscula, 21bs; Lolium tenuifolia perenue, 201' os; White ciover ,21bs; Trifolium minor, 81 bs ; I'oa Nemoralis and Sempervirens 4lbs of eacfi. Thi« mixture will uftico for half an acre, and will form o very good lawn, and if kept cut close answers most soils. Special mixtures for laying down lawns may also be :iad from any seedsman. >Some of jur native poas and oilier grasses woald answer admirably lor lawn purposes. U the ground is of a retentive nal.iro, sowing the seeds should he deferred till August. Commence to cut as soon as the machine will act. Some >rel'er the scythe for the lirsi time of cutting. Roll previous to niowi.ig; this will-save the knives ol the mowjr.
