The True Way to Water Trees.

IL the trees standing in grass grounds
are 'watercd the surface around about the
body. for three or four feet in each direc-
ton, should be covered with mulch of some
sort, to retard evaporation. Il will be la
Dor lost to water trees on the lawn without
exercising some prooauiion, as the water
will disappear before a hundredlh part has
reached the roots. Straw, hay, awn.grass
weeds, shavings or tan-batk will make an
excellent mulch. Spread the mulch three
or four inches deep, pour two or three
paifus Of water around each tree, aud the
water will permcate the entire soil, keep it
damp, and will supply the moisture which
the trees must have, or die IL the soil is
in tillable condition, draw the earth away
from the tree to the depth Of one or two
inches, pour in two or three pailus Of water,
and return the mellow earth, which will
keep the surface from baking Yet mulch
is far more preferable than the latter
mode
When the soil appears nearly dry to the
touch, the roots cannot possibly derive the
needed supply Of water to keep the leaves
and branches from injury during the rapid
evaporation which is going on night and
day. When the atmosphere is as hot and
dry as the air 10 a huge lumber-kiln, it will
have the moisture in tree and plant, aud
the moisture Of our bodies IF it (the hot
air. has to take it (the moisture) out of the
hide" Hence, we drink, and the roots of
the trees and plants must be supplied with
water or they will wither and die.
a great many persons scatter the grass
from their lawns and the weeds from their
gardens 10 the highway, which is bad hor-
ticulture in many respects If they would
spread such grass and weeds around
their growing fowcrsor around any garden
vegetables the mulch would save the labor
Of carrying many hogsheads of water to
supply the necessary moisture, and the
covering would keep the surface mellow,
keep the weeds down, and save a vast deal
Of manual labor, and the crops would be
heavier. Our Home Monthly
