Unless the surface of the ground is
mulched around young trees over an
area of six to ten feet in diameter, the
ground should be kept clean and mel,

much unless cultivated, and yet there
are rany who will neglect to give the
same care to a tree that is worth a hun

rich soil trees may grow rapidly without
cultivation, and no amount OF grass or
weeds will retard them; but there are
other things besides these to be looked
after. If the weeds and grass are allow

the corn was planted in drills, ~ the
second in drills after the common fash

drills and the fourth in hills. When the
corn was about six inches high the drill.
ed plats were thinned out, leaving the
stalks as nearly as possible ten inches
apart in the rows; the plats IN hills were
likewise thinned out, leaving the same
numbered stalks in every la: throughout
the experiment. In %cultivating the
