GROUNDS. 



During the past season considerable change has been made in the grounds. Some 

 2 acres of new lawn' have been added, taking a small portion of the old orchard next 

 the main road. On this a mixture of grasses and clovers was sown, made up as 

 follows: 30 pounds, Kentucky Blue grass, 15 pounds White or Dutch clover, 55 pounds 

 Timothy. 



An excellent catch wis obtained and by next year we ought to have a nice lawn. 

 Then, too, a number of shrubs were removed from the lawns, they being too thick and 

 doing more damage than good.
