Ice Casts of a Dog's Tracks on Frozen Snow
A reader reports a curious Nature phenomenon where damp snow froze after a warm sun melted it, leaving exquisitely delicate ice casts of a dog's paw tracks. The prints rise as fine paper-thin columns across the old snow, a striking blend of weather and animal motion.

Lawn care guide for early spring maintenance and beautification
A guide from Cor. N. Y. Tribune advises thorough spring lawn restoration including removing winter manure gently, rolling the lawn, fertilizing with bone dust or plaster, reseeding bare spots with green grass and white clover, and accelerating mowing. It covers edging walks, grading center height, pruning shrubbery, composting around plants, and preparing beds for planting. It notes the importance of trifles for lawn and dooryard success and ends with a salon-style aside on a fashion journal report about a hair merchant context.
