prize on general collection of vegetables, 
and on collection of plants in pots, which 
was the biggest in the hall department, and 
first on collection of onions, and of field 
corns. Besides these, numerous other 
first and second prizes swelled the grand 
total to $33.50. And they sold quite a 
lot of the stufif there, at the close of the 
last day, at extra good prices, so that they 
felt well repaid for the time and energy 
put in. But besides this, and of as great, 
though less tangible, value, was the ad¬ 
vertising he got out of it. Hardly a per¬ 
son for miles around now but knew of 
the Mantell enterprise ; and he made a 
host of new friends — and rivals — during 
the two days spent there. 
As the fall approached Raffles spent half 
a day in preparing a number of lath sashes 
for some of the coldframes, in which to 
start pansies, daisies, and a few other 
greenhouse seeds, and lettuce seed for the 
early crop in frames. Under the shade 
thus afiforded, and in the soil watered thor¬ 
oughly the day before sowing, they came 
up quickly and strongly. 
Much of their time, too, was spent in 
the beginning of the harvesting season 
and in getting ready for the crops to be 
reaped, and it was not long before the 
click of the reaper was heard in the field. 
There was a mellowness and peaceful¬ 
ness about the oncoming autumn which 
Mantell had never realized in the city, even 
on those rare occasions when he got away 
for a drive through the neighboring coun¬ 
try. There was a sense of quiet joy and 
safety in thus getting ready to put in their 
winter stores, which sprang from some in¬ 
stinct still strong in him. 
Making a Bowling Green 
(Continued from page 16) 
The green must not only be well con¬ 
structed, but what is just as important, it 
must be properly placed. If put out in the 
open, where the sun will beat on it all day, 
not only the surface will suffer, but the 
time for play will be considerably short¬ 
ened. An open area under a summer sun 
and browning turf is not attractive. A lo¬ 
cation so near large trees that their shad¬ 
ows will fall across the green is to be de¬ 
sired. A gentle rise in the ground lead¬ 
ing from the green makes the matter of 
arranging places for the spectators easy 
of solution besides relieving the stiffness 
and formality of the usual seat formation. 
An elevated area about all greens for 
the accommodation of spectators is de¬ 
sirable. but where possible the natural ris¬ 
ing ground should be preferred. 
The best expression of this idea was a 
green arranged at the bottom of a bowl¬ 
shaped piece of ground the slopes of which 
permitted the tasteful arrangement of rus¬ 
tic benches and chairs, with just enough 
trees dotted about to temper the sun’s rays 
and throw picturesque shadows. 
While it is not possible always to find 
these conditions some treatment can be ef-
