Mulchng prevents the early flow OF sap by
preventing the ground from warming too early.
AS the frost may catch the trees and vines after
they begin to send out shoots the importance OF
delaying the flow of sap should not be over
looked. Mulching is more essential during an
open winter than at any other time.
Early blowing exposes the soil to the action
of the rain, frost and sun, and the earlier the
work is done the dner will be the particles OF
earth and the more available the plant food.
Quite a number of insects will also be exposed
TO the surface, while the loosening OF the soil
also permits the ground to become warm early.
A cheap remedy for grape rot is to begin
early in the season. and scatter air-slaked lime
freely over the vineyard busting not only the
ground but the vines. 1t should be repeated
at least once month"; or alter each rain. The
work is not laborious as may be supposed,
and will be more than reg1lned IN the crop.

hold Hints

Work on the strawberry bed should
commence before the plants begin to grow.
The sooner the manure is spread over the
plants the quicker viii be its effects after
spring sets in. There are several reasons
for giving good coating Of manure, one
being to supply plant-food and the other
to protect the vines. II this is done early,
but if it is delayed until the plants begin
to grow, il is often the case that where the
manure is very concentrated, such as the
droppings from poultry, the plants will be
killed.
A mulch or covering should consist OF
manure, as it will be a saving of labor,
and the plants will get the benefit of the
matter dissolved by the rains. The
covering is not intended to keep the
plants warm, as that is impossible, but to
prevent the ground from warming too
early or too suddenly. 1t is just as i'm
portant to mulch in those sections where
the climate is mild as it is to do so where
the winters are severe, owing to the
alternate freezing and thawing of the
RIOuut. II Tic SIOuAAn ID 1iOLCAiI AZ IeiA 10
partially kept in that condition by the
mulch, which prevents the plants from
being thrown up out of the soil, and also
from beginning growth too early in the
season. In this section the winter Is
seldom very cold previous to January,
and the necessity for mulch is greater In
mild winter than at any other time,
owing TO the liability of the plants to
begin tO grow too earlV
Except in the middle of the row, the
strawberry bed needs no cultivation, I'M
less the plants are grown in single stools,
but to facilitate picking the crop, all weeds
that may appear should be pulled out by
hand as soon as possible. Every weed
that is allowed to remain RODS the plants
and lessons the crop. Wood ashes are ex-
cellent for strawberries, but if CONNER
cial fertilizers are used, high grade salts
of potash, and ut least two bags of super
phosphate per acre, will be the best form,
and it should be applied early in the sea-
son, first raking off the mulch and break
ing all Jumps of manure, so as to have
all the substances as fine as possible. Ii
there is liability of dry weather, which is
injurious to strawberries, the use of
chopped salt hay around the single stool
plants will be of advantage. All fertil-
izers should be evenly distributed, and
may be used literally.

ABOUT SCHOOL BOOKS.

posing the Trust.
Tpurbvi1Ia Tact-sonfan


It is apparent to all that the state superin-
tendent OF schools, county superintendent
and most of the great men who get money
from the school fund look on the proposition
TO legslate on school books as dangerous
thing. Now, we don't see why 1t should en-
danger the cause of education TO authorize
few sensible men 70 prepare school books for
the children of our schools. a nalf dozen
men can be found in Rushvillve who could
readily prepare the necessary books. 1t is all
folly to talk about the difficulty or danger of
attempting 10 prepare suitable school books.
But if q committee composed Of sensible and
conscientious men were authorized 10 do this
work they would only prepare five readers,
one spelling book, two biographies, one gram
mar and one arithmetic. The arithmetic and
the grammar would not be larger than the
third part of these books now are, and they
would be just as plain and simple for the be-
ginner as the first parts OF these books now
are, and they would be just as thorough as the
third parts now in use. Then why do school
men object? We do not venture opinion.

MIR. Anderson of Iowa then came forward
to reinforce his namesake from Kansas with
a fillbustering motion for an adjournment
until Wednesday, which was promptly
voted down as follows: yeas II, nays 1856;
and a motion to adjourn by Mr.. Blount met
with the fate Of its predecessors.

till Thursday, occupied the time until 5
o'clock, when, under the rules, the session
ended by limitation.
Thus ended day of monotonous and
weary roll calls, the weary clerks mechan-
ically running over the gamut of names no
less than ten Times. Throughout the day
MIR. Reed was constantly in the house, de-
termined that no slackness on his pa
should permit the resolution to change the
rules to escape the attention of the House
and the two Andersons, from Kansas and
Iowa, warily watched overy roll call in
order to lose no parliamentary
vantage ground given them under
the rules. The Andersons, with Messrs
Cheadle Of Indiana, Lind of Minnesota, and
Lehlbach of New Jersey wera the only re-
publicans who voted with two-thIrds of the
democrats for adjournment. The other
third of the democr, Is, consisting of special
friends and advocates of the Oklahoma and
Union Pacific funding bills, voted with the
almost solid republican side against ad-
jounment. A democratic caucus was
announced to be held at 1850 o'clock this
