now A MULCH ACTS.


The value of mulch is only par
TALLY appreciated by Americans, and
there is wide field for development :
IN using mulches of all kinds, think
a. Il. Barrett. We obtain our ideas
OF mulche from the prairies and for
ests, where nature forms her own
mulch. The decaying leaves aud
stems soon form n mass on the sur
face. which prevents the soil from
losing much of its moisture. This
leaf mold and accumulation of vege-
table matter acts rs protecting
covering for the soil, aud it will be
found around the trees in every for.
est, and around the roots of wild
grasses on every meadow. In initial
ing nature, rs she works in the fell
and forest, we adopted the artilici" |
mulch around our fruit trees. I'll |
found that it worked to their advan.
tage. y mulch, besides retaining H. ,
moisture In the soil, also secures "A
more uniform temperature and adds
considerable plant food to it. The
nature Ct the mulch is an important
part of the work. Fiat stones may be
used around trees, forming IA perma-
nent mulch, but their action is merely
mechanical. 1t retains tho moisture
and temperature of the soil but it
adds nothing to it, Sawdust is but
little better, but straw and new-mown
lawn grass form rich mulches that add
plant food to the soil.
Tho exact change which takes place
in the soil when n covering is placed
over the surface is not generally un-
derstood. Some chemical change
takes place, and the soil is enriched
for time. In some of the gardens of
France the benefit derived from shad.
ing portion of the soil is understood
and carried out successfully. Tiles
cover tho strawberry beds, with holes
made through them here and there for
tho vines to grow out of. Flower
gardens are likewise covered with tiles
or cement, leaving no part of the soil
exposed except where the plants come
through. Expert horticulturlsts there
find this method of great advantage
In less expensive way parchment
paper can be used for covering the
garden soil. Brown paper dipped in
sulphuric acid should be used for this
purpose, as it is then made tough and
waterproof In times of drought this
mulch acts splendIdly. 1t retains the
water, nccelerates the growth of the
plnnts, and keeps down the weeds.
More experiment with mulches will in
time make gardening much easier and
more profitable. The parchment
paper mulch. however, for small
places is the simplest, cheapest and
most efectunl that has yet been ox-
perimented with. New England

cHrNcHmLA, THE POPULAR FUR.

If there are women who, wearing
that most popular fur this season
chinchilla-w wonder why it is so ex-
pensive, their dismay at It's cost
would vanish ut slight knowledge of
the difficulties that lie in the way of
procuring the skin. The tiny animal,
not more than twelve inches long,
with n plump little body on short,
stout legs, thrives only in the tropics
New York's supply of chinchilla skins
comes from Peru and Venezuela
chiefly. The little beasts have to be
killed with the utmost precaution not
to injure their fur, that grows on a
skin nearly as tender and soft rs a
web OF silk. They arc not common
animals, nor abundant in their South
American haunts, so that perfect
chinchilla skin when it arrives, Gus
toms paid, in the port OF New York
easily fetches so or Sl2 for its hands
breadth of fur. To keep in good con-
dition the delicate pclt and the max
ing up of small bits into tho large bar
rel-shaped muffs and circular cape
collars worn this scnson, easily makes
n chinchilla wrap more costly than
crmine or sable. A perfect skin, not
larger than n small pocket haudker-
chief, is revelation in fur growth.
The texture of every hair is finer than

inch, aud the coloring about that oil

WINTER MuLcHrNc OF STRAWBERRIES.

As plants grow until freezing wealth
cr sets in, mulching must be DELAYED
until the ground is frozen sufficiently
to hold up n loaded wagon. With a
widc-tired vehicle there is less danger
of iniuring the crowns. Any kind of
straw may he used. That most free
from weed or grass seeds is best.
Stable manure is good where the land
needs enriching, but it must not be
placed directly on the plants. Marsh
hay is most desirable, but any straw
or coarse litter will answer.
The object of mulching Strawberries
IN autumn Is to prevent rapid thaw-
ing. When once frozen the frost
should come out very gradually. If
the ground is merely shaded this OBJ
lect will be accomplished To con
serve moisture in the spring until
after the berries are picked, apply the
mulch thickly between the rows. Put
little light chNff directly on the
plants. Rake off this chaff when
growth begins. As freezing and
thawing is not rapid or frequent in
December, mulching may often be
delayed even to the latter part of Jan
uary.-Amcrican Agriculturist.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
WHEAT FOR HORSES.

The feeding of wheat to horses, as
might have been easily believed, has
not been found desirable. The grain
of wheat is especially rich in gluten, a
substance that becomes as tough and
insoluble in the stomach, unless it is
cooked, as leather. Thus, when horses
are fed on the whole grain of wheat,
1t is not digested for this reason. If
wheat is fed at all, it should be coarse
~ ground and then mixed with finely
cut straw, so that the grain is divided
in t stomach and intestines, and is
acted upon in an effective manner by
the digestive fluids. The horse is the
most exacting of all animals in this re-
spect, and the necessary precautions
should be taken. New York Times.
