REST MULCHlNG MATERGAL

Mulch: is, placed about plants to
prevent the sun from evaporating
the moisture. In many cases 1t
takes the place of cultivation. No
doubt, if it were not for the ex
pense and trouble, it would be
more extensively used about her
baceous plants. We have found
in our. trying climate that a fine
mulch Of manure, completely cov'
ering the ground, is an excellent
thing for bedding plants. With
trees and shrubs a serious oblec-
ton to- the use of mulch is its liza
biity to harbor mice, which may
injure or destroy the plants. For
strawberries mulch is used to keep
the fruit clean as it ripens, and to
protect the plants in winter and
spring. For strawberries we have
had the best success II applying
the mulch quite late in autumn,
and in leaving the materials thin
enough over the plants to barely ez-
pose a few of the leaves. The more
changeable and severe the season
the greater the need of mulch, and
mulch in generous quantity. There
is great variety of materials en-
ployed for mulching. I have heard
OF the use of beach sand or fine
gravel with excellent results. The
Inexperienced gardener can try old
clover hay, as I have done, and get
a good crop OF thrifty young clio
yer to kill out the next spring; or
he can employ rich timothy or
June grass, and soon find the
ground seeded with crop he was
not prepared for. Or. again, if he
like better, in the spring he can
mulch with oat straw not half
tbreshed, or full of chaff contain >
ing oats still plenty. Then he can
dig young oat plants all summer
among the strawberries. Digging
out the young plants Of clover,
grasses, oats, etc., is healthful ex-
ercise, and stirring the soil will not
hurt the strawberry plants. I once
tried all the above methods. I
also tried forest leaves, for autumn
mulch, adding corn stalks to hold
them down, and thought [ had a
good thing. In spring, after an
open, windy winter, the leaves were
not to be found. A few at a time
they had blown away. Having tried
ali these to my satisfaction, I now
prefer clean straw (old or new or
marsh hay or corn.fodder cut two
inches long, less or more. Pine
shavings get into the soil and are
a nuisance. The same objection
may be urged against tan bark or
any, other material which does not
decay readily and help to enrich
the soil.-Prof. j. ". Bedi.

The October Elections.

The Ohio election last week was com
plete republican success. The legisla, use
which the democrats thought they would
get control of even if the republicans
elected their state ticket, is overwhelm-
ingly republican. The democrats having
but about half as many members as their
opponents.
The majority for Governor Foster has
been reported at "a 072 and is likely to
run few hundred over this figure rather
than to be any less. Mr.. Bookwalter the
democratic candidate, had quite notion he
W )uld be chosen and is derided perhaps
unjustly for he appears to have run as well
if not better than anybody on the same
side.
The republican victory in Iowa is. as
usual complete. Sherman is elected gov
ernor by anywhere from 10000 to $4,000;
exact total nobody appears to have taken
pains to figure up. A noticeable feature
of the election in both states is the very
small vote which the greenback ticket
received, which marks the near disappear
ance of that delusion from American poll
tics.

districts have battled very manfully and
literally for many long years. paying from
seventy to one hundred cents on the dollar
of the grand list to support their little
meagre schools Of twenty weeks annually.
The following method Of dividing state
school fund is here presented: One.half OF
the fund to be divided equally among the
school districts Of the state. and the other
half to be divided according to the aggre-
gate attendance of scholars between five
and twenty years of age. With COM
petent board of supervisors to take charge
of every school district in the townships,
with thirty weeks of school annually as the
legal time, and with attendance made
compulsory sickness excepted), it is con-
fidently believed that the schools of this
commonwealth would in a few years take
such n position and advancement that in
temperance and crime would be SO much
diminished, that the state would save
thousands of dollars annually by the de-
creased criminal prosecutions. while the
great mass Of the people-the agricultur'
ists-woud become sufficien ly intelligent
and influential to remove the burden OF
unjust taxation and monopoIies which has
chung to them like viper, destroying the
reward of their honest toll.
1t is only question of time when legis-
lation will take place, giving state system
to the common schools of Vermont, and in
the meantime, it seems appropriate that it
should be discussed. not only in our edu
cational meetings, but in the public press.
for discussion is the beginning of wisdom.

The Senate.

President Arthur has sent in few NOM
nations to be confirmed and the Senate
has nearly completed the work Of its extra
session. Just now it is taking recess in
which most of the members go down to
the Yorktown celebration. The president
has not made any changes in his cabinet
as yet but will soon do so; perhaps when
the Senate re-assembles the last of this
week to complete its work after the York
town visit.
The most important reason for the meet
ing of the Senate was of course to have a
presiding officer elected so that the success
sion to the presidency should be provided
for. The democrats did what they had
perfect legal right to do, if they wanted to
do it, in electing Mr.. Blyard president
pro tempOre. But what they wanted to do
it for is a mystery. They elected him
Monday, admitted Tuesday as they knew
they would have to do. the three new sem
ators on the republican side and on Thurs
day saw motion made by Mr.. Edmunds
to continue the committee of last session
prevail; and also saw Senator Davis elect
ed, by vote of 81 to 81. to take Mr.. Bay
ards place as president pro tempore.
The democrats laughed sarcastically
when Mr.. Edmunds presented a resolution
of thanks to the retiring president pro
tempore. Which merely shows that they
had acted with such degree of foresight
rs to make common courtesy itself sar-
casm. And now they like David Davis AS
little as they do Malone of Virginia.
Mr.. Davis, who weighs more than the
New York San said Hancock did when it
put the weight of that candidate at the
head Of his virtues, is a very independent
man whose only alleged weakness is a
desire to be president. He was an init
mate friend of Abraham Lincoln; was
prominent in managing Lincoln's canvass
in the Chicago convention of 1860 and was
appointed by Mr.. Lincoln to the supreme
bench. In January. 1877. the Illinois
democrats and Il few independents elected
him senator and the democrats have since
been figuring whether the to 7 figures in
the elaborate commission would not have
worked the other way if they had not
taken Mr. Davis from the bench Just when
they did. They have never worked out
the sum satisfactorily, however, and now
are getting in fair way to think just as
badly of Mr. Davis as they have thought
of Mr.. Justice Bradley.
President Arthur proves a president
who is able to keep his own counsel and
whose conduct thus far is in accord with
the best traditions of his great office. The
succession to that office is now in Mr..
Davis who like Mr.. Bayard. and like Mr..
Anthony, is worthy and able man; and
who, like himself, belongs to no party and
whose course in any event cannot be fore
told.
