heavy comforts, until you see the fd/img. Let us send you, free, a section of it cut froma ‘‘ MaIsH.”’ 
A Maisu Comrort is a supple, fluffy mass, full of thousands of tiny air cells, zon-conductors 
that keep the body-warmth zz. The MAtsu process separates and curls the long fibres of the finest, 
| snow-white cotton, weaves them into filmy layers, then merges these layers into ove continuous 
piece, the same luxurious thickness at every point. Very warmand light; delightful to sleep under. 
Leading stores have MatsH ComrForts; ask for them but look for this trade- 
mark. Don’t accept uxhealthful, heavy comforts, nor comforts filled with 
chicken feathers sold as ‘‘ Eiderdown.”’

Making Southern Lawns 
SUALLY in our Southern gardens the 
lawn does not assume the dominant 
place that it does in the North. This is not 
because a good lawn cannot.be had, but 
because of not knowing how to maintain 
one. A lawn needs little care, but it cannot 
be kept fresh and green without watering 
in the dry, hot spells. The following way is 
how the good Southern lawns are made. 
About the end of April plow the land six 
inches deep, then harrow, to break all the 
clumps and cut all the small roots. Having 
done this, wait for the first wet spell, to sow 
the grass seed. The Bermuda grass with- 
stands the hot summer best. It is fibrous 
rooted, and very green. After sowing roll 
the seed in. The best way to sow grass seed 
is by hand, thus ensuring a good even stand. 
Six pounds to the acre is the general rule. 
In extra shady spots, sow it more thickly. 
No fertilizer is used. In about ten days the 
Bermuda grass makes the best summer lawn in 
the South. Sow English rye grass each fall in order 
to have a green lawn all winter 
young shoots appear above the soil. Ber- 
muda grass does not need as much mowing as 
the winter lawn does, and it makes a good 
sod, which is unsurpassed for tennis and 
croquet courts. A lawn of Bermuda grass 
can be kept to perfection during all the hot 
weather by watering it. It is better to do 
this in the evening, after the day’s heat is over. 
After the first frost the Bermuda grass 
dies down, but before this happens seed 
of the English rye grass for the winter lawn 
must be sown. It isnot necessary to plow 
the land for this, but some prefer to do so. 
The first week in September, plow the soil 
about eight inches deep. Then harrow well. 
In all cases the soil must be without clods. 
Cotton seed meal is applied at the rate of one 
ton to the acre. Sow the English rye grass at 
the rate of one and a half bushels to the acre, 
and roll it in. It does not spread like the 
Bermuda grass. Assoonas it is three inches
