went TO Greenhouses room on

child and said that he would do it
again. Then Melendy called him
Il tough name and Greathouse lost
no time in pulling his pop and
firing upon Melendy, who stood
Just outside the door of Great.

fired before Melendy pulled his
own gun. Melendy was shot
once IN the left side, the ball going
clear through the body Just under

caught him in the right hip, the
ball ranging downward, while the
third and last bullet went amiss.
Melendy saw that he vas getting

Mulching Trees and Shrubs.

A very noted English arboriculturist
says:-"Mulching consists in laying a
circle of litter around newly-planted
trees to retain the natural humidity of
the soil" This is certainly a very brief
and incomplete description of both the
operation and the benefits to be derived
therefrom. 1t is, however, abou as
much as has been claimed for it by tree
planters in this country, and for these and
other reasons comparatively few persons
think that mulchiny trees is sufficient
ly beneficial to pay for the cost of mater
ial AMI its application. To say that the
material april ID as mulch is merely Ito
retain the natural humidity of the soil'
is certainly claiming very little for one
of the most beneficial operations which
the tree-planter can practice, especially
in all hot and naturally dry climates, or
in one like that existing throughout the
greater part of the Unified States.
In mulching newly planted trees, CT
those set for some years, we not only
prevent suffering for want of moisture
during the dry weather in summer, but
enable them to obtain those elements,
which they require for nourishment and
growth. In selecting a material for
mulch, one of Iibrous nature, or at
least one that will not become compact
after being beaten some by heavy rains,
is always preferable to any other The
more plant food the material contains,
the better, and for this reason coarse
litter from the stable or barnyard has no
superior for this purpose. Meadow hay
may be ranked next in value, then straw,
corn stalks, bog hay from low lands, and
thence downward in the scale to pine or
Eastwood shavings and sawdust. AL
most any material that will shade the
surface of the soil, and admit air and
water, will prove of great benefit to
newly planted trees, and frequently
restore to health the old and feeble, or
stunted in growth from lack of moisture
at the roots, and those, fertilizing ele-
ments, that can only be absorbed and
utilized when presented in a liquid or
gaseous form. Even small stones may

Every poultry breeder understands
the value of having variety of food,
and that it is essential for the health of
the fowls, and the production of fertile
from which he can expect strong, healthy
chickens. One can imagine the result
to community who would try to live
exclusively on corn; yet probably nine
out of ten who raise poultry, think their
duty done when they have scattered
before them their quart of corn and
gathered the eggs. This treatment may
appear to fulfill all necessary obligations
when fowls can have unrestricted range
through the summer season, as Nature
seems to provide means for sustaining
life for feathered, as well as human
tramps. The necessity of providing
corn, sometimes with wheat and oats
for winter food, is generally understood
but if to these were added supply of
the other grains and vegetables of which
fowls are fond, we would not hear so
much complaint as now of stock ''run-
ming out" and producing nothing but
scalions.
As to the special grains, we may name
buckwheat as one of the most valuable
for the production of eggs. Sun6ower
seeds should also be included in the bill
of fare of all well regulated poultry
yards. The large amount of oil they
contain seems to be especially valuable
for young, growing chickens. l think
the finest developed flock 1 ever raised
was one that had free access to guam
tity of well ripened sunhower seeds.
They also give gloss and brilliancy to
the feathers, probably unequalled by any
other food. Even when fed in large
quantities, have seen no bad effects
therefrom, as the husk or shell must be
taken with the meat. made an expert

with covered run formed by throwing
cornstalks on some poles, and standing
my hot-bed sash up against the south
side. The food for the two coops was
scalded Indian meal, They were both
fed from the same dish, and in proper
tion according TO their numbers. The
p. Rocks laid well, and gained in flesh
all winter. The Brahmas went back"
both on eggs, and in flesh. The reason
was that the first had the strippings from
the cornstalks to help in the assimila-
ton of their food, which the latter did
not have. This proved, to my satisfac-
ton, that some such coarse food must
be provided il We would have the fowls
thrive, and may say here, that well
