The report that several cases of cholera had
occurred in this vicinity, is believed to have
no foundation in fact There are strong
temptations at the stores and saloons TO invite
the disease, in the shape of green apples and
other unripe fruit. In this season of drouth
and heat, persons cannot be too careful in re-
gard to their diet. Attention to what we shall
eat, what we shall drink. and wherewithal we
shall be clothed, becomes now a necessity and
Il religious duty as well.

Mulching Bearing Fruit Trees

Mulching Bearing Fruit Trees
There is no question Of doubt
now held by our most intelligent
horticulturists about the practical
advantage to be gained by mu' ching
the surface Of the orchard and
fruit garden. This system should
be more generally practised in fruit
producing districts, for it is the
least expensive and most effective
method of protecting the trees
against the bad results often fol
lowing the frequent and sudden
changes Of temperature, during the
summer and fall months, when the
surface of the ground is left expos
ed to the direct rays of the sum-
Again when the mulch is put two
or three inches in thickness, the
surface soil is constantly moist and
loose, even when no rain falls for
term of several weeks, and the
trees and fruit receive no check for
want of moisture and food under
such circumstances.
My method is to cultivate the
spaces between the rows Of trees in
the orchard, using small one-borse
plow and cultivator, running not
more than two inches deep, during
the early part of the season. From
the Ist to the 18th of July / have
put on q heavy coating Of salt hay,
covering the surface as far as the
branches extend. From then there
is no more trouble with weeds and
grass. There may be e few scat
tered ones start up, but they are
easily destroyed.
When the material for mulchinG
can be had at q reasonable cost, il
is safe and practical method fol
producers OF delicate fruit to puT.
sne, and l would advise those who
have not tried it to test the efficiency
Of a mulch this year
Last year the bearing part Of oul
orchard was mulchcd, and although
no rain fell for several weeks the
fruit gained steadily in size, and the
trees held a bright healthy foliage,
SO essential to bring crop to ma
turity,
Every ruit-grower knows that
two or three weeks before the time
ofgathering the main crop Of fruit
fine specimens are constantly fall
ing off or blown of by strong
winds. When the ground is mulch
ed the majority of such specimens
are not bruised or injured for sale
This saving alone consider pays
me for the trouble of mulching the
orchard.
| have no doubt that within a few
years this simple and practica
method Of mulching will be applied
not only to the strawberries, but al
so to raspberries, blackberries ant
currants, as well as to tho pear anC
peach orchards.
There is only one serious draw
back to the application Of mulch
that is the danger Of the hay o.
straw getting on fire when rendered
dry by continued warm weather
Young fruit trees or shrubs whicl
were transplanted last fall or spring
will thrive better aud are less liabl
to suffer from the effects Of moyinl
when the ground, as faras the root
extend, is mulched with salt hay
straw, long manure, or charcoa
