exact proportion required by the tree
or plant from which they fall; nay,
more, if they would consider that it
is exactly in this way, by the decom>
position Of these very fallen leaves,
that nature enrichcs the soil, year at,

hardly be possible for such reflect

these leaves to be swept by every
wind that blows and finally lost alto

away, as many now do He would
rather collect, from week to week,
the leaves that fall under each tree.
and by digging them under the soil
about the roots, where they will de-
cay, provide in the cheapest manner
the best possible food for that tree.
If this plan should be tried we should
