many vegetables is not enough; of those
that remain in proper condition but a
short time there should be succession,

-Mulching Fruit -Trees.--A CORE
spondent OF the american Cultirato
gives remarkable instance of the ben
. etits of mulching. He says upon dry
, and rocky hillside in the town o
Shrewsbury stood an orchard. Th
trees were old and had not given goo'
, crop of apples for several years. Th
owner, having large quantity o
spoiled hay, drew il from the field ant
, placed it around the trees to the depth O
twelve inches, covering the who'll
ground occupied by the trees, omittin:
every alternate row. This was done il
the month of July. The next yea
, every tree where the mulch was applied
was loaded with large and fair apples
r while the trees had made agreat growt
, of wood, and the leaves had beautifu
: green and spring-like appearance, Will
those without the mulch bore no frui
at all.
