Mulching.

Mulching ia the process of spread
ing a substance, not good conduct
or, upon the surface of the ground to
prevent the moisture from escaping
therefrom. Trees, shrubbery, etc,
newly transplanted, should without
delay be thoroughly mulched, to in
sure success. Rotten straw from the
barn yard, or decayed chips from the
wood pile, answer a good purpose.
This not only answers the purpose in
dicated above, but prevents weeds
or grass interfering with the steady
growth Of the trees. Raspberry,
blackberry and strawberry plants, re-
quire this to insure large, juicy and
delicious fruits. In their native
wildness they seek these conditions,
and succeed in no other.
With this care, which requires but
little labor the soil retains its fertility
for a long time, is kept cooler, and
the conditions of moisture kept more
evenly supplied, which will give the
plants more uniform growth, and a
greater certainty of long lease of
life.

How to Breed Good PIGS.

Perhaps at this time few suggcs-
tons, says an exchange, on this sub
ject may be of use to those who are
intending to breed pigs next year.
Were l to select boar, the first point
would be to be sure that he was a
thoroughbred. We should be sure
that he was II thoroughbred of some
distinct breed, and upon the sire we
depend for our improvement. The
boar should not only have the good
points, but be one that is sure to
transmit his good points to his of, :!
springs. A scrub or grade cannot be
depended on. None but thorough
bred can be depended on to do this.
Care in this point should receive that
that attention necessary as the only
means of securing uniformity IN the
offspring.
The second point would be in age
He should not be young and imma
tured, or old and declining, but in
full vigor OF life. am Of the opin-
ION that threc-fourths of the pigs
dropped in the country are sired by
young boars, say from eight to twelve
months old. Breeding pigs from
such is contrary to all known laws of
breeding. 1t is contrary to the prac-
tice of animals in their wild state;
as the older and mature, the strong
and vigorous males are masters of the
herd, and sires of the offspring. The
great loss Of young pigs every year
is, I think, owing to this breeding to
young and immature bears. Their
weakly constitutions will not bear
the ills that many pigs are subject to,
so have to 90 under.
The third point is the constitution.
However fine and nice, and true to
type, or form, he may be, he is worth
less without a strong and vigorous
constitution. No matter if the sow
is strong and robust, if she bred to a
boar with a weakly constitution, the
chances are that the pigs will inherit
the weak points, aud many will die
before they are marketable. The
points that indicate a good constitu
ton are broad and deep chest, with
well-archcd ribs, which give good
play to the lungs consequently Il
good circulation of the blood essen
tial to the thriving and tattening OF
any animal0 large abdomen, a
broad, deep loin, which indicates 4
wcll-developed muscular system and
digestive apparatus, are points that
cannot and should not be overlooked
The disposition is Il point that will
do to look after. The boar should
be Of that mild, peaceablc and quiet
disposition that is just right SO that
he could be handled. lie should be
of that disposition so as not to be Il
top of the fence all of the time
This fence high disposition | do not
like in Il boar. 1t is sure to be trans
mitted to the pigs. A squcaling pig
is never satisfied, no matter how well
fed. Squealing parents are sure to
breed squealing pigs.

Social Leanness.

The American farmer, in all his
planning, and all his building, has
never made provision for life. He
has only considered the means of get
ting a living. Everything outside Of
this-cverything relating to society
and culture-has been steadily ig-
nored. He gives his children the alt
vantages of schools, not recognizing
the fact that these very advantages
call into life a new set of social wants.
A bright, well-educated family, i'll a
lonely farmhouse, is very different
material from n family brought up
in ignorance. An American farmers
children, who have had a few terms
at neighboring academy, resemble
in no degree the children Of European
peasant. They come home with new
ideas and new wants, and if there is
no provision made for these new
wants, and they find no opportunities
for their satisfaction, they will be
ready, on reaching their majority, to
fly the farm and seek the city.
If the American farmer wishes to
keep his children near him, he must
learn the difference between living
and getting a living ; and we mis-
take him and his grade of culture al
together if he does not stop over this
statement and wonder what we mean
by it. To get living, to make mon
ey, to become "forehanded"-this is
the whole Of life to agricultural null
titudes, discouraging in their num-
bers, to contemplate. 10 them there
is no difference between living and
getting living; and when their fam
lilies come back to them from their
schooling, and find that, really, this is
the only pursuit that has any recog-
milton under the paternal roof, they
must go away. The boys push to
the center of the cities, and the girls
follow them if they can. A young
man OF young woman, raised to the
point where they apprehend the diff
ference between living and getting a
living, can never be satisfied with the
latter alone. Either the farmers
children must be kept ignorant, or
provision must be made for their
social wants. Brains and hearts need
food and clothing as well as bodies;
and those who have learned to rec
ognize brains and hearts as the best
and most important part Of their per-
sonal possessions, will go where they
can find the ministry they need.
What is the remedy? How shall
farmers manage to keep their children
near them? How can we discourage
infinx of unnecssary-nay burden
some-populatlon into the cities?
We answer: BY making agricultural
society attractive. Fill the farm
houses with periodicals. and books.
Establish central reading rooms, or
neighborhood clubs. Encourage the
social meetings of the young. Have
concerts, lectures, amateur dramatic
associations. Establish bright, act
i've social life, that shall give some
significance to labor. Above all,
build as far as possible, in villages. 1t
is better to go mile to ones daily
labour, than to place ones self a mile
away from a neighbor. The isolation
of American farm life is the great
curse of that life, and it falls upon
the women with Il hardship that the
men cannot appreciate, and drives
the educated young away.-Scrib-
ne,'s Monthly.

A CANADA farmer has lofty notions
Of the uses of charcoal 1t is his
experience that by keeping charcoal
in the hog-pen, much Of the disagree
able odor is averted, while the hogs
appear to thrive better on less food
in the improved atmosphere; 1t should
be sprinkled about-some powdered
and some in chunks. Byputting a little
in the horse stable every day, all
dampness is absorbed; and if: when
removed from the stalls it Is dried
under shelter, and then sown on the
meadows, the increase of the crops
will be wonderful. 1t may be used
with equally good effect in cow
stables and poultry-houses, and is an
excellent deodorizcr and dlsinfectant
in out-houses. The same writer as
serts that little dropped into each
hill when potatoes are planted, will
enhance both the size and the quality
of the crop.
