muIchiux Rearing Eruif Trees.

P. T. Qainn, than whom there is no better
authority, recently wrote to the N. Y Tribune
concerning the advantages of mulchipg orch
ards and fruits gardens. He says This
should be more generally practced 10 fruit pro.
ducing districts, for it is the least expensive
and most effective method of protecting fruit
trees against the bad results often following
the frequent and sudden changes of tempera-
ture during the summer and fall months, when
the surface of the ground is left exposed to the
rays of the sun. Again when the mulch is put
two or three inches in thickness, the surface
Soil is constantly moist and loose, even when
no rain falls for term of several weeks, and the
the trees or fruit receive no check for want of
moistenipg and food Under such circumstances.
My method is to cultivate the space between
the rows OF trees IN the orchard using small
one-horse pillow and cultivators, runoing not
more than two inches Deep during the early
part of the season. From the first to the
fifteenth of July have put on heavy coating
of salt hay, covering the surface as far as the
branches extend. After this there is no more
trouble with weeds or grass. There may be
few scattered ones. but they are easily des-
troyed. Every fruit grower knows that two or
three weeks before the time of gathering the
main crop of fruit, fine specimens are con-
stantly falling off by strong winds When the
ground is mulched the majority of such speci-
mems are not bruised or injured for sale. This
saving alore L consider pays me for the
the trouble OF mulchipg the orchard. There is
only one serious drawback to the application of
mulch, that is the danger of hay or straw get
ing on lire when rendered dry by continual
warm Weather.-DrigO Rural

Hereafter.
In after years a twilight ghost shall fill
With shadowy presence all thy waiting room
From lii of air thou cans not ass The bloom,
Yet at old kisses will thy pulses thrill,
And the old longing that thou coulnst not kill,
Feeling her presence in the gathering gloom,
Will mock thee with the Eopelessness of doom,
While she ands there and smiles, and still.
Thou canst not vex her then With PASSIONS pain;
CALI and the silence will thy call repeat
But she will smile there with cold Ii ps and sweet
Foreetful of old tortures. and the chain
That once she wore,-ihe tears she wept in vain
AT passing from her threshold of thy feet.
