In moving lawns, allow a gradual higher
growth as autumn approaches, so as to have
a thick mass for enduring winter.
Mr.. A. NJ. Purdy has whtewashed his
fruit trees for thirty years and closely OBJ
served the results, which have invariably
been to make smoother bodies and healthier
trees. He therefore designates the articles
in some of his exchanges which oppose
whtewashlng as in urious to trees as mere
bosh."
The amount of the crop of strawberries
next year will depend much on the treat
ment of the bed this year. A strong growth
late in summer and during the first half of
the autumn will give good crop next year.
Scatter manure between the rows or about
the stools, and work it into the surface soil
with steel rake or hoe if in the garden, or
with horse culture in the field. Keep the
runners cut, and fine growth will be the
result
The South is fortunate in the acquisition of
a new plant called Japan clover and it is
being made a standard grass crop. The clover
is low in growth, barely exceeding four
inches in height. Its value is due to its
ability to grow under many disadvantages,
for it will reseed itself, stand drought, and
occupy locations that are unfit for any other
purpose. 1t seems to fill vacancy long felt,
and for the pasture cannot be surpassed,
especially for sheep.
Professor A. J. Cook, close observer who
each summer during several years has
worked in the Michigan Agricultural Col
lege apary. with class of from twenty to
forty students entirely unused to bees, says
he has found no proof of the statement that
bees know their master, and are more likely
to sting stranger "only as the latter is
more nervous, and so jerks his head, or
makes other quick motions which are Of
fensve to the bees and are sure to meet
quick reproof"
Separated from the soil man never yet
has succeeded in thriving. At best, without
it, he is a potted plant, and some of the pots
are mserably small. 1 have visited many
factories IN New England, and find that
wherever the operatives have a good-sized
garden with access to pasture for cow, the peo-
pie are healthy, cOntented and saving. When
ever this is the case the population is likely
to live without actual starvation or extreme
restitution in the event of the mills being
closed for even very long period. When
ever they are separated from the soil, as in
some of our large and crowded cities, there
is squalor Generalization and despair
