AIulching.

1t is not generally understood that
a mulch may with benefit be applied
to cultivated ground. The usual meth
Cd Of applying coarse litter and manure
to trees and small fruits is falling into
disrepute with some Of our best horti
disrepuLe with some Of our best horti-
culturists. This method causes the
root system to form too near the sur
face of the ground, so that when the
mulching becomes thin or a protracted
drouth ensues, the trees quickly sue
cumb Moreover, cultivation is not
possible with the thick mulch. and
consequently coarse weeds grow up,
and Quack grass finally takes posses
sion, to the total destruction of the
trees or small fruits. Many horticul-
turists are now advising the abandon
ment of the thick-litter mulch and
prescribing instead only cultivation or
the dry earth mulch. But this method
has disadvantages also. Under it the
land becomes impoverished. owing to
the exposure OF the bare soil to the
fierce, direct heat of the suns RAYS.
Notification is retarded, since it pro-
crosses more favorably when the sur
face of the ground is partly shaded.
Again, the cultivation method, to be
effective, must be frequent and thor
ough-conditions not always easy to
meet. Earth-litter mulching, as prac-
ticed by this writer, obviates most of
the difficulties named. Short-fibred
manure Or litter is spread evenly over
the surface of the ground to a depth of
one or two inches. In a few days the
ground is cultivated, thoroughly mix
ing the mulch with fine surface earth.
In the case Of small patches, this may
be done with a hoe, but in the majority
Of cases it is best done with a cult
vat0r. After some time, when the ap-
pearance of weeds or when other causes
repeated. The advantages of this
method are:
l. The moisture is more effectually
conserved, and the root system takes
it's proper position.
2. The soil is better protected from
the direct heat Of the sun. The earth
litter-mulch is a non-conductor.
3. The manure thus applied keeps in
tact the supply Of humus, thus increas-
ing the soil capacity for moisture and
maintaining fertility Notification is
also favored
4. The best features of both old sys-
TENS are retained, and the method is
applicable not only to trees and small
fruits, but to any cultivated crop.
5. Labor is saved, the required Gull

DIFFERENCE IN BARRIERS.
Loquacious Ones Downtown-Uptown
They Are Reserved.

1t is a well-known fact that BARRIERS
vary. But they vary nowhere more
! than right here in the city of New
York. This is only natural for no.
where do their customers vary more
than here in this city. Perhaps few
| people who read this have ever had
occasion to employ the services of one
of the razor experts described in Mr..
Hoyt's song called "The Bowery." 1t
will be remembered that the BARRIERS
victim averred that that was the worst
scrape he ever got in, and also that
he wouldn't go there any more. But
the Bowery barber holds out low
prices as an inducement to put up with
some of his eccentricities. He will
give you a shave and a haircut and an
extemporaneous grafton for the sum of
10 cents.
The downtown barber in the Wall
street district is just as distinct from
the uptown barber as he is from the
Bowery artist. He is generally as ex-
pert with his tongue as the Bowery
shaver, but he has the saving grace of
his trade The downtown barber is a
pretty good judge of character, how
ever. He can tell readily whether his
customer is in a conversational mood
or not. If his customer wishes to dis
course about the weather Or the polit-
ical situation in Zanzibar he has read
the papers enough to know what is go
ner that is truly inspiring If, on the
other hand, his customer is suffering
from an attack of indigestion, nobody
is quicker to discover it than he. He
knows that when a mans digestion is
not good he wants nothing so much as
venerable mother from whom, the
physiogomists declare, the president
elect has inherited his strongest traits
to be let alone, and let him alone he
does.
Still, your downtown barber is guilty
of one offense that would speedily lose
him his job in some of the uptown
shops When you have got the shave
you went for he seldom fails to suggest
that you have a shampoo or a haircut.
If you have had your mustache trim
med he proposes a shave. He does this
not because he wants the money. He
doesn't get any of it, anyhow. He is
merely solicitous for your well-being.
He merely advises you for your good,
just as your physician does when he
tells you you ought to have him cut
your leg off.
The average uptown barber, while
he may be no more skillful at his trade
than his fellow of the business district,
is quite different in other ways. He
is generally a model of taciturnity.
He answers questions politely, and if
you remark that it is a fine day, feel
ing genial toward all the world, he
replies that it is, no matter if it is
raining bricks and mortar. But such
admissions as these are about all that
you can get out Of him. He never
asks you if you don't want something
besides what you do want. If he should
insult you by asking you if you didn't
wish a little hair tonic he would be
looking for another job soon.-New

The Dairy Breeds.

The Geneva Experiment station
gives the following results of a series
of tests of the leading breeds of mich
COWS:
The process adopted was to establish,
as fairly as could be done, the prices
for the milk per hundred weight, for
the milk solids for cheese making per
pound, and for butter fat per pound
these figures were placed at SIPS per
hundred weight for milk, 9 Is cents
per pound for milk solids, and 26 Is
cents for butter fat.
On this basis Ayrshire milk was
worth as SUCH during the year, SS7.24
per COW; it's solids for cheese making
were worth SS1.14; and its butter fat
for butter making was worth but
S6447.
The Ayrshire, according to this
showing, would be worth more to the
milkman than to the cheese maker,
and more to the cheese maker than to
the butter maker
The milk of the Guernsey was worth
SOC.JC, IuS 1111h SOIINIS WSIS kdluSu at
$75.04 for cheese making, and $75.18
for butter making. Here, the Guern-
sey is shown to be more valuable to
either the butter or cheese maker than
to the milkman.
The milk of the Jersey at the price
assumed was worth S645S; the solids
were worth to the cheese maker S72. 81,
and its butter fat was valued at S7430.
The Jersey is, therefore, just the re-
verse of the Holstein-Friesian. She
is at her best in the butter making,
and the next most profitable use for her
milk is cheese making; it is least prof
liable to the milk man.
The Shorthorn gave milk worth
$3.50, the solids in the hands of the
cheese maker were worth SS0.S5; the
fat in the hands of the butter maker
was worth S5O.O3 The figures prove
the milk of the Shorthorn the most
profitable for manufacture into the
cheese, the sale Of milk standing sec
ond in point of profit, and the butter
| value coming last.

kilos Of butter to London during the
last twelve weeks of 1895. The Argen-
tine press place the exports to England
OF their butter at about 100000 tons
annually. 4 large market is also
found in Germany. Australian butter,
too, is figuring quite extensively in the
English markets, one of their great
advantages being that their summer
grass made butter reaches Europe in
its winter season, and the ocean trans
portation costs only one penny per
pound
Butter is. never so good as when
used within one week from the time it
leaves the churn. 1t possesses then a
delicate aroma and a peculiar, indie
scribable flavor, which soon passes
away and is never present thereafter
but butter properly made can be kept
sweet and in good order for months.
Get the butter in good condition as
soon as possible after churning and
pack it firmly in gallon or half gallon
jars. Those containing five or six
pounds are preferable When the jars
are bought ask the seller, as>he marks
the weight of each, to number them,
so that a record of the amount of but
ter in each jar can readily be kept
Pack the jars level full, tie a round
piece of strong, thick cloth over the
top and place it bottom side up into
a new, large crock. Do not pack but
ter made at different times in the
same jar, but store only those jars that
can be filled at one churning.
Make strong brine, using all the salt
the water will absorb, adding to each
gallon teaspoOnful of saltpetre and
a teaspoonful of granulated sugar.
Scald the brine and skim it thoroughly

cloth into the crock Add more brine

Ideal Dairy Cow.

Dairyman Gould in a recent lecture
gave this description of the Cow for
him."
'The ideal cow" he said, sis not
large; she weighs about 1 900 pounds:
she is something like a race horse, for
speed in the horse and milk in the
COW are allied. Beef in a horse and
beef in a COW mean strength always.
1t is a question of nerve power, and
that, is something food will not produce,
only maintain. For the typical dairy
cow you must have race horse type,
bony and muscular, whether she be
HOlstein, Jersey or whatever she
may be. You will find her with bony
head and strong jaw, long between the
eyes and nose, with broad muzzle. She
should have very bright, protruding
eye-I want COW I can hang my hat
on her eyes. Why? Simply on account
of her brain power. 1t means strong
nerve force, and that means action
later on. I want a thin neck and re-
treating brisket. The lines above and
below must not be straight, or she will
steal from you; [ want her slightly de-
pressed behind the shoulders, with
sharp chine; I don't want too straight
a back bone. She must have large or
gans Of eproductiOn-you don't want
a COW with a straight back; l want her
wedge shaped. want two wedges,
large in rear and large heart girth j. E.,
wide between forward legs, sharp on
shoulder. This gives me large heart
action and the strong arterial circula-
ton I want. Then last, but by no
means least, she must have a good
udder, for one-half of the value of the
COW is in her udder. She should have
a long udder from front to rear. Then
she must have good handle on each
corner of her udder. And why? Be
cause if she gives two pals of milk
day it is a matter of some labour to
milk her"

HOME TINKER AT WORK.
Woman Has Learned to Sharpen Pen
ellis and Drive Nails.

Somewhat to her credit, be it said,
there is many a woman who cannot
only sharpen a pencil without cutting
her fingers off, but can also drive
nail up to the head without dislocat-
ing her wrist, though men are loath
to give up declaring these impossible
achievements. 1t may be owing to
her enforced mastery of the bicycle
knit that she now manipuIates tools
with such facility, though we must in
justice credit the pre-bicycIe era with
not a few of these seIf-reIianf fem
mime thinkers, who could even put in
window light or prop up a threl
legged sofa without calling in a
fessionaI extortioner.
That stage OF efficiency was,
ever, only an evolutionary stage

Strawberries in Autumn.


[ set most Of my strawberry plants
in the fall, usually in September, and
have good success from this method
I prefer it to spring setting Last
season I planted 5000 strawberry
plants the latter part of September
They were cultivated once a week as
long as the ground would permit of
culture, and as soon as the surface was
frozen a light covering Of stable man
ure was applied. In the spring, as
soon as the frost was out of the ground,
the covering was raked off and cult
walton begun. The cultivation has
been kept up all season, and a fine crop
Of berries was picked in June The
plants now cover the ground and a
good many of them will have to be
taken out l firmly believe that straw
berries cannot be produced unless there
are plenty of vines for them to grow
on. In the fall the ground is in much
better condition than in the spring
A large root growth is made before
freezing weather sets in and the roots
will go down deep, ready to promote
thrifty development in the spring
With but very little extra labor the
plants will be far ahead OF those set
in the spring. In my opinion it is
advisable not to let the plants fruit the
first season after setting.-American
