MAKING CUTTINGS OF SHRUBS.

AAAiNo u IIINOs Of kHkUBs.
Cuttings of hardy shrubs may be made a;
almost any time during winter; but II
taken off from the plants before very severe
weather, they will be more certain OF grow
ing. During pleasant weather / have q
quantity Of the young shoots, Of kinds de-
sired, carried into the cellar, and these are
made up during stormy days. The larger
portion Of our hardy ornamental shrubs
are readily propagated In this manner, and
there is no reasonable excuse for the scar
city which is frequent in country towns
Demzids. PhilddslphHs. Wei1elGs, Lonicrds.
and scores OF other beautiful species. may
be propagated from cuttings OF the ripe
wood taken of at this season and kept 10
cellar until spring. The shoots shouM be
cut Into sections of about six ipohes In
length and then buried in earth, sawdust,
or some similar material that will prevent
DRYING. until the time arrives for planting.

SPREADING MANURE.
An Exchange says We think IL wrong
practice, when hauling oct manure in the
fall or winter. TO place it In heaps. IL Is
better to spread IL at once. In the first
place labor Is saved. But most important
of all is the fact that much OF the manure
al once, II is more equally divided than il
can be afterwards. We once hauled Out
manure On field. leaving Il In heaps until
the hauling was complete. During this
time some showers fell. The land was
sown TO oats next spring, and on the spot
where the heap had been the grain lodged
and was spoiled. The following crop was
wheat. and on those spots the wheat rusted
and yielded nothing. while the growth Of
straw was remarkable. We have never
since repeated the practice.
LEACHED ASHES As MANURE
An agricultural journal of Germany calls
renewed attention To the great value, a.
manure, OF soap-boilers leachcd ashes.
which. as Is well known. are prepared by
mixing wood ashes with fresh burnt lime.
and boiling or teaching the two together
for the purpose Of obtaining a caustic I've.
Although the soluble salts are removed
from these ashes, the insoluhle parts re-
main, namely.the csrhonStes. sulphates. and
phesphates, principally lime salts, accom-
panied generally hv little caustic lime
Experience has shown that there is no sub
stance equal 10 leschcd ashes of this kind
for manure. not excepting even the richest
guanos; the vegetation of the cereals be
coming broader than common by it, use.
and the stalks more tubular. while the
leaves grow OF dark, BLUSH green. The
value Of this complication is seen more par
tioUlarly in meadows, where. curiouslv
enough. nearly all Of the ordinary grass
disappears in consequence. and instead o {
II 4 thick vegetation OF red clover Is met
with. which will be renewed year by wear
for long time, without additional supply.

MCLCHING.


Universal experience attests 10 the great
advantage OF mulching around fruit trees.
as a means Of fertilization. and preservation
from droughts. Ii is a great preventive
from sudden charges OF temperature, rem
dering the earth warm and more agreeable
in winter and more cool and moist In Sum
mer. With newly transplanted tree, il does
away entirely with the necessity OF water
ing; they are more certin alto live. and s..
a rule, they will make three times the
growth the first year, than they would if
un-mulched.
By applying the mulch amer the ground
has frozen, danger from winter-killiDg is
quite overcome, and, = with a straw
mulch, by tresding snow about the
trees they will be secured from destruction
by mice.
Mulching consists in placing layer or
covering of some kind around for dis
lance Of three or four feet, and from to 6
inches deep. The best materials are rock
weed, coarse manure, and half rotten leaves
refuse hay, or straw, tan or sawdust are
good. Rirer sawdust is quite valuable as
q mulch.

city Schools and instruction.

EDITORS CHRONICLE As our city schools
are to commence soon, l would call attention.
through your columns, to the system of Light
ming Addition and Short Methods of Multipli-
cation" presented before the Board of Trade in
this city few months since. The system is no
humbug 1t is of real value and should be
taught in all our schools. Its merit consists
principally in two things First, in an immense
saving of time and labor in the process of add-
ton and multiplication; and, second, as a
and rapidly of execution in numerical combi-
nations and computations. This system does
not supersede the need of the ordinary process
es of addition aud multiplication, but Is rs SUI
perior to them in its practical application to
most of the work of the scholar in these pro-
cesses as is the sewing machine to the hand and
needle in ordinary sewing. A pupil acquainted
with these processes (which are easily mastered)
will save months of labor in the course of his
mathematical education. We commend this
matter to the attention of the committee on city
schools. d. u BUTLER
