With the first sweet blossoms of

was liaed with very fine grass. We

Almost all kinds of vegetation in
dry atmospher will show a vast im
provement if properly mulched. An
indiscriminate application of any one
kind of material to all sorts of plants
is a decided damage on the average.
It must be remembered in all kinds
of mulrhing that the atmosphere
must not be excluded from the surface
of the soil. Around trees the sur
face may be heavy, like old well-rotted
manure, witb a little long straw
mixed in Bushes, as their size de
crease, should bave lighter material,
sav such manure as comes from the
stable about balf-rotten, nd from
time to time should be forked op
arouad the plant to prevent it from
packing, which would induce mocld
iness. Plants growing low likej
strawberries, aud some half-hardy
perennial flowering plants, must be
not oaly mulched witb a light mate
rial, but it must be very carefully
watched through both summer and
winter or tbe raia aad snow will
cause it to pack, and thus smother
the plants. Mulching fur winter pro
tection is often done so heavily as to
kill the p!aats ; aad this may occur
by using too much of a light materi
al, or so little of a heavy one tha; tte
latter packs down away frsm th
crown of tbe plant, thus leaving it
exposed.
Plants which need winter mulch
ing only need to be protected from
the constant thawin? at noon and
freezing at night, therefore the mate
rial should be light.
For trees, 6hrubs and plants which
ire high enough to stand op through
the mulch, long strawy manure is tbe
best, for low plants, likely to be bur
ied easily long coarse straw or beavv
stemmed weed? are suitable, and for
strawberries verv liht straw must
be used. For mulch to protect tbe
fruit from dirt, tanners' bark, cut
straw, sawdust, or pine needles are
suitable.

Why are farmers so liable to rben-mati-m

Answer: Because they wear wet
clothing, beat aud suddenly chili the
body, over-beat after very bard work,
and because tbey do not keep the skin
in a vigorous, clean and healthy con
dition. If farmers would avoid sud
denly cooling the body after great
exertion, if they would be careful
out to g-t witb wet feet, and if tbey
would not over-heai when in an ei
haus ed couditi on, and batbe daily,
nsing much friction, they would have
less rheumatism. Tbe same role ap
