niulching.

If any one will take the trouble to
try the following experiment they will
be convinced that much of the mulch
ing to protect plants from cold weather
Is not as beneficial as 1t is commonly
supposed. A raspberry cane is laid
down and three fOurths of il covered
with mulching; it does not matter if
1t should be the top or lower portion
that Is covered. With the warm
winds and sunshine of spring it will
be found that the exposed part will
put out its buds and blossoms paying
no regard to the mulch and in the
same time and way that other plants
near by act, it will do. When it is all
out in leaf and blossom uncover the
entire plant and the buds and leaves
will push out and in time will over
take the other, and ripen its fruit but
very little later than the part that
was covered. Since neither the guam
tity nor the quality of the fruit as on
the portions that were uncovered, we
conclude that in some way the plant
has lost part of its vitality by being
covered. Strawberry plants can be
made to bloom later and avoid frost,
but it is always at the expense of a
part of their vigor which reduces the
quality and flavor of the fruit. BY
trying these experiments il has made
me conclude that mulching to retard
and protect from cold never pays. J
think mulching should be used to
protect from drOuth, and this together
with having the ground well manur-
ed, will produce the best results. If
anyone disagrees as to my mulching
theoryI would be glad to see their
reply in these columns.
Tree Pruning
Much has been said about the best
method of tree pruning and we have
been promised to have the matter full
1y explained at our next meeting. l
know that most people are in the
habit of pruning every spring, but few
of them can explain what they expect
to gain by it only they think that
custom that has been handed down
must be right. 1 make the assertion,
to premise my views of the matter,
that every cut or mutilatiOn tree re-
ceives is direct attack on its life,
and in proportion to the extent of the
cutting the tree will lose its life and
usefulness. 1 shall admit that nature
always tries to repair damages and
has dormant buds left to repair the
loss with, and that necessity frequent
ly cOmpels us to remove branches,
but it should be positive need, such
as dead limbs, crossing branches or
parts broken by storm or otherwise.
A healthy, vigorous tree should never
have a scratch ON its bark unless some
disease should arise which leaves it a
cripple, then mutilation is the only
remedy. After noticing the actions of
many orchards l have reached these
conclusions. l have seen trees that
were the most trimmed the most SUM-
scalded and blighted, while those left
in natural state were the most Wig
orous. II people would put in more
time destroying the insect enemies
and less time pruning, the orchards
would be more profitable and longer
lived. SEC. HORT. SOCIETY.

The meeting Of the Butchers Protec-
rive Association Of Wheeling, night be-
Fore last. in the /. o. o. f. building, was
one OF the most important meetings
held for some time past The price OF
meat was cut down considerably, which
will meet with the general approval OF
the consumers. An iron clad agree
ment was adopted to fight the grocers'
who now sell meat and provisions IN
their stores.
President Samuel Ochsenbein called
the meeting to order, and announced
the order of business, during which the
date for the butchers picnic was set fon
August Sth, at the new Wheeling Far
Grounds.
Charges were preferred against three
butchers Of the South Side for selling
boiling meat under the scheuuleu p.ICe
agreed upon some time ago. PreSleeIC
Oebsenbein fined the trio 50 eacn, when
was paid. After some heated discus
sion relative TO the high price OF meat
which was brought about by the charges
against the three butchers, the follow
ing tabulated scale Of prices was
adopted: go, ...
Ioin steak. reduced from 1212 cents
.Der pound to three pounds for 20 cents;
round steak from 10 cents per pound
fo two pounds for % cents; boiling
meat. from 10 cents per pound to an''
IS cents per pound; lard, from lzt9 cents
per pound 10 three pounds Tor 20 cSn'S'
This shows a cut in prices Whlch
would seem 20 the average consumer
as 2 decided reduction, but the general
reduction in the prices OF meat adopted
az this meeting of the butchers, com
pared with the prices Of eight months
ago. viii probably only show reduc-
ton of Ia TO ~ cents. The new prices
90 into effect at once.
The association then took up much
more difficult problem, how TO prevent
the grocers from selling meat After
wrangling with this question for the
past four meetings. the proposition to
boycott the grocers was ADOPTED
The association resolved not to buy any
meat from any of the Western provls-
ion houses, or the Cleveland provision
Company, Home Dressed Beef Com
pany. +. Schenk & Sons, f. Weimer "
Sons. George ZOeCkler, or any firm Oh
butchers assisting or selling meats to
the grocers for the purpose Of retailing
it In their stores 10 the consumers.
This undertaking goes into effect next
Monday. July LIST.
The adoption Of this resolution will
probably cause the grocers to confer at
once. and devise ways and means 70 be-
gin the promising battle.
