! MULCHING BEARING FRUIr TREES III. T.
Quinn writes TO the New York Tribune
" There Is no doubt now by our most in
| tellIgent horticulturists about the practical
| advantages to be gained by mulching the sur
| face of the orchard and fruit garden. This
should be more generally practiced in fruit
producing districts for it is the least ex-
penslve and most eliectual method of pro-
tecting the fruit trees against the bad results
often following the frequent and sudden
changes of temperature during the summer
andtall months, when the surface of the ground
y left exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
Again when the mulch is put two or three
inches IN thickness, the surface soil is con-
stantly moist and loose, even when no rain
tails Tor term of several weeks, and the
trees or fruIt receive no check for want of
moisture and food under such circumstances
My method is to cultivate the space between
the rows of trees in the orchard. using a
small one horse cultiyator, running not more
than two inches deep, during the early part
of the season. From the LIST of July | have
put on heavy coating of salt hay, covering
the surface as far as the branches extended
Alter this there is no more trouble with
weeds and grasses. There may few scat
tered ones start up, but they are easily
destroyed.
Every fruit grower knows that two or three
weeks before the time of gathering the main
crop of fruit, fine specimens are constantly
falling off or blowing off by strong winds
When the ground is mulched the majority of
species are not bruised or injured for sale
Ihis saving alone, consider, pays me for the
trouble OF mulching the orchard.
There is only one serious drawback to the
application of mulch, that is the danger of
the hay or straw getting on fire when rendered
dry BY continual warm weather.

CHEAP VEGETABLE CELLAR.-Sink a barrel

box or cask will answer better purpose >
heap the earth around the part projecting
out of the ground, with slope on all sides ;
place the vegetables that you desire to keep
in the vessel, cover the top with a water-tight
cover; and when winter sets in throw
armful ofstraw hay or something of that sort
on the barrel. If the bottom II. out of the
eask or barrel it will be better. Cabbages,
celery and other vegetables will keep in this

frost, ease Of access, and especially freshness
and freedom from rot are the advantage

DISCOURAGE HONE PRoDUcrIoN-At the
opening of the recent exposition of textile
fabrics at Indianapolis the following remarks
occur in the opening address of President
Bowent of Chicago
" need not tell you of the improvement
that has been made by our manufacturers
during the past few years, for any one that
mas given any thought to the subject would
readily notice, in examining the beautiful
goods now on exhibition at this place, that
we as manufacturers, are marching on in
the highway to success, and the question is
shall we make our success certain? The
practical question is, shall we receive from
the good people of our common country words
OF encouragement that make our services the
more certain, or shall the peoples verdict be
against us and the great market of our land
be given to strangers in part to our enemies
Are we able to produce such articles of textile
fabrics as the market demands? Shall VIC
influence our approval of the men and women
OF our nation 10 the use of American goods
Give us these and the fostering care of our
government, and we shall soon see our glori-
Gus land filled with factories and foundries
both north and south, and the tide of pros
perity will be with us as heretofore unknown.
'We say, then, let us encourage these in
dustrles Let us assert, in the full 'deyelop-
ment OF our great country, in which we all
justly take pride, and with prosperous and
healthy state of our manufacturing interests
all over the land, we shall enjoy thrift that

A poor farmer cannot conceal the. fact
that he is poor farmer. All his surround
ings proclaim the verdict against him-his
horses, cattle, wagons, harness, ploushs.

mistakable evidence against him On the
other hand, all these things viii testify favor
ably on behalf of the good farmer. Every
passer-by can read the evidence pro and con.
This fact alone ought to stimulate every
farmer to do his best. for the sake of his own
character, as well as interest, for he may rest
assured that every passer-by will pronounce
Judgment according to the evidence.

e drank the richest draught;
And ate whatever is good
Fish, and flesh, and fowl and fruit
Supplied my hungry mood;
But never remembered the wretched one-
That starve for want of food

In cloth of silver and gold
With silk, and satin, and costly furs,
In many an ample fold,
But l never remembered the naked limbs
That froze with winters cold"

Yes, and again, and it will lose none Of the

What Hood teaches US in these few lines
methinks we could not fail to see-how
thoughtless we are Of the comforts and han
piness of others. Our life seems useless we
do not use what God has given us that we
might benefit those around US. If gold and
silver we cannot give, we have gentle words,
and like sweet notes of heavenly music they
always find response in our hearts, always
touch some chord that will awaken hope.
Who can tell how cheerful smile, accom-
panied by heartfelt words of sympathy, viii
steal into the darkened soul in its hour Of
deepest sadness, and drive out the clouds of
dependency which have thrown their chill
ing shadows around it? We find it 10 be
those who have sorrowed and been blessed
by the kind sympathies Of others, who are in
the future ever dear to US by these little
kindnesses, small to them, but to US more
than We can tell Of JOY and peace They
came to US when all was dark, when We
looked upon the world as cold and full of I'M
charitableness, when we were discouraged !.
we listened, they gave US words Of encourage
ment, they took Us by the hand, and we felt
that we were taken into their hearts. Itwas
then we found we had something to live for.
the world looked brighter, and we saw some
thing beautiful in all that which to US before
was coarse and ungainly.
We have within us the power to Tighten
the load Of human woes beneath which bur
fellow men are each day sinking. by wearing
ever the cheerful smile and speaking words
Of encouragement to the weary, discouraged
ones, and words Of sympathy to the oppressed
and sorrOwing- 1t may cost US some exer-
ton, some seli-denial, for the smile which
radiates the face must be something more
than an affected, meaningless shipper. and
the words which have the magic power %
infuse new life into dropping hopes mus; D.,
something more than the soulless words to
which the heart gives the lie direct
Look about you You will fad 50 much
that you might do to benefit Others which
viii cost you nothing, and the pleasure You
will experience in feeling that you have light
ened the heart of even one sorrowing one, or
fed or clothed some needy one, and you will
wonder why you have been 50 long idle, why
you have been 50 long thoughtless of the
comfort and happiness Of others as wei as
your own Ever

RAPID GROWTH or Trees The Colusa
(Cal.) San publishes this statement: 2. In
1853 we dug a well just above town. in
which there was 50 much quicksand that it
soon caved in, and in 1855 it had nearly
filed up. Protected by its banks. cotton
wood tree sprang up in it in 1855, and has
continued to flourish until about a fortnight
ago, when it fell a victim to the ruthless axe.

CHEESE, according to the statement of Pro
fessor A. j. Bellows, has in it more than
twice the amount of food of any other known
substance. 1t should therefore be used in
small quantities and with articles containing
little nitrogen, such as fruits and fine flour
Those persons whose occupations necessitate
hard labor, and who cannot afford much fresh
meat, will find in cheese a mos wholesome as
well as nutritious food less likely to develop
in the human system those scrofuious diseases
attributed to animal food.

That starye for want of fOOdV'
You can feed both body and heart. Our
hearts are as often starved for kind words
as our bodies for want Of food We do not
know how many are starving about US. We
have not remembered them. We are sup
piled, and even when they come to u. we
often turn them away empty-handcd and
chilled at heart by our indifference to the
welfare of suffering humanity. We do not
think, when wrapped in our numberlcss
warm garments. of the many others who are
freezing for the want Of one which We NAV
have laid by.
Mothers, look at your children as they
are gathered around you, nicely fed and
clothed, and ask yourself, will they ALWAYS
have a home and a mothers care? Think
how sorrow comes to US all, and remember
the Golden Rule, - Do unto others, etc.
Weep not for time misspent irrevocablv

dried ere it is sealed in death Think not .,
the past, but improve the future. Scatter
blessings, cheering words and smiles in your
every day walk, that you may not feel that
your life has been blank. Keep in mind
the happiness of others and you will ever be
happy yourself. Speak words of coincidence
and hope to those who have lost dear ones
then your last rest will be like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch about him.
and lies down to pleasant dreams.r You
will not be fretted as time rolls on with the
useless life you live. You cannot say, as the
year passes away, " Another year gone and
nothing done" You cannot say

affected with nervousness, that the least an
noyance greatly agitates them, and when they
stretch out their hands they shake like aspen
leaves on windy days. BY daily, moderate
use of blanched stalks of celery as salad
they may become as strong and steady in their
limbs as other persons. Every one engaged
in labor weakening TO the nerves, or afflicted
with palpitation Of the heart, should use
celery daily in season, and onions in its stead
when not in season.
