MULOHING.

There is no operation more important
IN the GUNNER treatment OF trees ard
plants than mulching. Newly planted
trees will make more than double the
growth when mulched, than when the
surface Of the ground around them is ex-
posed through the summer to the scorch-
ing rays of the suns and drying Winds
Many trees that die the first season after
they are planted, might be saved by TINS
simple treatment. With a covering Of
from two to four inches of old straw have
saw duat or tan bark, uniform mols'uT'
is kept up in the soil during sum mer'
however dry the weather may be. The
growth OF The tree, too, is more healthy
and better able to Withstand the severe
changes of winter than when it is prema-
turely and suddeuly checked in summer
by drouth, and ready for a new and vigo-
rous fall growth as coon tas the rain seIsz
in, leaving the stem and branches In the
fall filed with uuelaborated sap.
II this has not already been attended to,
it should TO longer be delayed. The
ground around the trees should be well
Roed and broken up, and a covering Of
old straw or some other litter at once ap-
piled.
Mulching is even more important to
raspberry and blackberry plants, currant
bushes, &c. This treatment insuTes
strong, vigorous stems. and will give the
following year double the supply Of fruit
that can be expected without it. In the
country. where STRAW is abundant. the
entire labor Of cultivation and wedding is
saved by the application of four or five
inches of straw over the ground between
the rows of plants. The ground should
have good working between the rows
with the cultivator, and the straw then
appGsd.- covering the entire surface.
IN the culture Of tomatos mulching
will be found to produce an astonish-
ing effect. On land not too rich, con-
slant succession Of fruit may be had thro'
the summer. This dressing, too, keeps
the tematos. from the ground and pre-
vents rotting, by which so many are lost
in wet weather. If a few small bushes
were first laid down under the plants be-
fore the straw is applied, it would be bet
ter. A hundred plants well mulehed viii
yield more fruit than two or three hun
dred cultivated in the usual way. Try it
