4. France has fine climate and an excel
lent soil, and her lands, which have been cul-
tivated for centuries, instead of being ex-
hausted by vicious system Of husbandry,
such as frequently prevails in the United
States, are now more productive than they
ever were before. Although she has a popu-
lation Of over thirty five millions to feed upon
territory much smaller than Texas, she is q
large exporter Of various kinds of agricultu-
raj products As purely agricultural coun-
try, France is undoubtedly the first in Eu-
rope-in manufactures she is second only to
Great Britain.
5. No country has been more favored during
this century in the possession of really able
6nanciers and political economists. Agitated
and disturbed as France has almost constantly
been on political questions, the questions of
finance and revenue, upon which the great
material interests Of the nation depend, have
been fortunately excluded from the political
arena, SO that the same general financial
policy has been followed under the Monarchy,
the Empire aud the Republic, and the
revenue departments Of the government have
been administered under every regime with
single eye to developing the resources of the
nation, stimulating production and increas-
ing foreign trade. In NJ previous period of
her history have greater ability and firmness
been displayed in the management Of
her finances and the imposition of
taxes than during the last four years

The Advantages of Mulching.

THE advantages to be derived from the
use of mulching material may be summed
up somewhat as follows: First the desire
TO keep the soil moderately moist and cool.
Second, TO prevent the surface from bak-
ing hard through the combined influences
of the rays of the sun and the high winds.
Third, as preventive from weeds. For
newly-planted trees all of these are
necessities; the mulch preserves the sur
face moist and cool, and this is precisely
the condition under which young fibers
are formed 1t keeps the soil open and
porous, another sine qua nan for the torma1
ton and growth of young roots. That IT
smothers out the numerous weeds that
would invariably start were the surface
not protected is a selfevident fact
For threesor four seasons past, we in the
Middle States have suffered terribly from
the severity of the droughts, and, had il
not been for the beneficial effects of mulch
ing, in many instances the losses would
have been frigbtful. Paraioxical as il
may appear, water, applied as we viii,
does not answer the purpose altogether.
We need something more; shade is abso-
lutely essential, together with an equa-
BILE temperature.
The material that should compose our
mulch differs with the plants TO be pro-
tccted, as well as with the season when il
is applied. We may rest satisfied, how
ever, that all green or untermented sub
| stances are deleterious in their nature, and
not unfrequently do more harm than good
Weoccasionally hear of instances, however
where such have been used with good
effect, as for example the use of turnip
tops for mulching strawberry beds; still
the principle is bad and should be dis
couraged.
Heat and moisture engender decomposi
ton in green vegetable tissue, and the hea
consequent upon rapid decomposition is
very injurious To plant life when placed IN
| immediate juxtaposition Herewith. II
calls into active life innumerable forms OF
| fungoid structure, many of which are the
| forerunners of disease, and all are dele
terious in the effect upon the health
of the higher order of vegetation. Il
forms proper hotbed for the propa
CATION and dissemination of millions
of insects, the greater portion OF
which damage the roots and bark of ON
trees and plants And, lastly, il imparts I
sour and saddened character TO the soil be
| MEATH which must affect the well-being o
the plant
The healthiest pear trees ever saw were
kept constantly mulched with a gooo
thick coat of this, and each autumn
slight sprinkling of well.rotted manure
was scattered over the surface. Tan-barb
is applicable to most kinds of growing
plants, from the largest orchard trees to The

ant shade, devoid of any deleterious effects
Hay do not like, unless very coarse, anc

As general rule farmers do not select
their seed with half the care they should.
Crops of all sorts will be much more abun.
dant If the seed sown or planted were
saved with care. Almost every garden
product may be improved by selecting the
best seeds for succession OF years. The
present season should be improved 10 make
the selection for such articles as are still
in the garden. Take your seed corn from
the stalks that bear the most ears, tie up
the ears by the husks and hang them in a
dry place. where you can find them next
spring Choose the finestsquasnes, cucum-
bers, elephants, melons, peppers, beets,
carrots, etc, and put them where you can
find them when wanted. The seeds should
be carefully cured, put in papers, labeled
and dated. II is well also to put on the
weight of the fruit from which seeds are
taken that you may see the improvement
next season. In nothing are we more
prone to be careless than in saving the
seeds of fine fruits and vegetables. we
are fully persuaded that time cannot DC
more profitably spent than in making this
selection. There is fixed law In nature

How to Take Care OF Bulbs.

AS soon as their beauty of flower is
over we always cut off the tiower-stems
lust below the lowest flower, and for this
reason the hyacinth and tulip both seed
freely, particularly the latter; if the bulb
is forming seed, its strength is in great
measure wasted by that process; whereas,
if the fower-stem is cut off, the bulb has
nothing TO do but to prepare itself with
yigor for blossoning the ensuing year
We pay great attention to the protection
of the leaves of both hyacinths and tulips,
and never allow them to be interfered
with until nature indicates, by the decay
of their points, that the bulb is preparing
for rest We then follow a course with
both hyacinths and tulips which we be-
lieve many do not; that is, we take them
up before the leaves are quite decayed,
and for this reason: we believe that both
of them, after the bulbs have attained this
period of growth, are only weakened by
remaining in the ground, because the off
sets are living upon the parent bulb, and
consequently weakening it for the flower
| of the following year.
If a cultivator wishes for stock he should
| let the bulbs remain until the leaves are
quite decayed. If he wants his bulbs to
| flower in beauty again he should follow

| We have generally placed our bulbs at

Lost Sheep.

SOME of our city divines who have been
taking their vacation in the rural districts,
where the humming of birds and the bleat
ing of lambs are heard rather than the
changing Of street-car bells and the noise
of the pavements, will appreciate the fol,
lowing bit that comes to us by late steam
or from England:
A curious incident occurred in large
and wellattended church in Clifton on
Sunday evening. The preachers subject
was the Lost Sheep" and during the
sermon il so happened that real live
" lost sheep strayed from Durdham Down
close by, and got itself entangled in .he
iron ratings that surround the church
Thus it was that as the preacher made al.
fusion TO the lost sheep" of the parable the
real live sheep at the church door answered

" Which of YOU" said the preacher, hay,

replied the woolly captive outside. The
audience, as il must be ut once perceived
were placed in a position OF considerable
embarrassment, not To mention the poor
preacher, especially when he continued

THE science of advertising is one which
can be learned by experience only, and, like
everything else requiring study and skin, 10
best understood by those houses whose sole
business it is; hence we regard that adver-
tiser as peculiarly fortunate who is enabled
to secure the services of q reliable agent con-
versant with the whole subject, and able, by
his experience, knowledge and general repu-
tation with both the public and the publish
ers, to offer all the advantages and emoiu-
ments that can only be possessed by q
frst-class house. Among those houses of
known solidity and promptness whose mer-
its are universally recognized and whose
reliability and skill remain unquestioned
perhaps that OF Geo. Z. Rowell IL Co., Al
Park Row, New York, Is most deserving OF
mention and confidence. close attention
TO business, a watchfulness over the best
interests Of their customers and a prompt
ness IN the execution Of all orders intrusted

the firm from the outset, and have done
much to ingratiate them In public favor.
They have always possessed the best faeili.
ties for doing work both cheap and well, and

lowest cash rates; and by so doing distance
their competitors in majority of cases
