Mulching.

Joseph Meehan discusses the sub
ject of mulching in his department of
the Practical Farmer, as follows:
1t is not at all uncommon to find
fruit gardens of amateurs mulched
over their entire surface, both to keep
the roots of the bushes and trees cool,
and to lessen the necessity for hoe,
ing. Where mulching can be kept
up year after year, there is much in
it's favor, though it is not usually ac-
knowledged to be an unmixed bless
ing. There are cultivators who con-
tend that soil continually covered in
that way is lacking in some elements
of fertility which the exposed soil re-
quires.
But aside from this, there is no
doubt at all that perpetual mulch
ing brings fibrous roots close to the
surface, and this is what so many
contend is an injury in the end. AS
already said, where mulching is car
ried on from year to year, the roots
are, in a measure, as far below
ground as usual, measuring from the

Thousands of men in every walk of life
all over the world are playing desperate
game with Death for an opponent. They
are playing with an opponent who has every
advantage, and the outcome OF the game IS
as certain as-Death. The man in any walk
of life, who is too hard-workel, too busy,
to take care of his health has only himself
to blame when the final breakdown comes.
1t is easy to keep health while one has it,
but uphill work to win it back when it is
lost. A man neglects slight indigestion.
Then his appetite gets poor. That's tr1he
and he pays no attention to it. Then he
complains of headaches and it is hard to
work or think. His sleep becomes restless
and he only gets troubled spells of it. He
gets nervous and irrit1ble. Everything goes
wrong both at home and at business. He
persists in paying no attention to his
health. Then some day he breaks down.

mulch, but otherwise they are not,
and both from the winters cold and
summers heat they are liable to in
jury. The mulching affords GOODNESS
ground and entice roots to occupy the
same position.
Some years ago a grower of dwarf
pears in this vicinity believed that
surface manuring in spring was
much better than doing it in the fall,
or applying the fertilizing material
in any other way. He kept up the
work for two or three years, ma
nuring heavily in early spring, so that
quite a coat of it was there all sum-
mer. At the end of that time, decid-
ing that the trees were growing too
fast for their welfare, he omitted the
manure in spring. But he found that
the roots of the pears were so near
the surface, brought there by the
GOODNESS and the food, that serious in

summer weather, SO great, indeed, as
to quite undo all the benefits derived
from the previous mulching.
There are certain shrubs native OF
deep woods and cool places, such as
azaleas and rhododendrons, which de-
mand mulch, that the roots may con-
tinue in a cool temperature. And
newly planted trees are much the bet
ter for mulching; to aid them to re-
cover from their transplanting, and to
form new roots. But to mulch for the
purpose alone of keeping down weeds,
as some gardeners do, is not likely to
result in lasting benefit to the plants.
In the case of strawberry plants, or
others, which will occupy the ground
but a short time, mulching continu-
ously saves wedding, and is, as well,
of benefit to the plants.
No man can be absolutely perfect,

plants in the five-foot beds are set
at first several inches below the gen
eral level of the ground. All the sur
plus dirt in the spaces between the
rows and in the spaces between the
beds is needed in banking up the Gel
cry. Be very careful in handling to
hold the plants erect and to allow no
soil to cover the center, or inside
stems. Earthing up causes the stems
to bleach white and to become crisp
and tender.
AS we have said, celery loves wa
ter, or damp soil. When it begins
to grow rapidly it should have a thor
ough wetting once a week or ten days.
During dry seasons the crop will
be very materially increased by irri-
cation. A small planting may be sut-
ficiently watered from well or els
tern; but large planting will require
a water supply from pond or rum
ming stream.
If the season is favorable, celery
will be ready for use by Nov. Goth to
25th. However, it will not be at it's
best until later in the season. AS it
continues to grow higher, covering of
some kind should be used, allowing
only tips of the plants to appear
above the covering material. With the
dwarf varieties sufficient dirt may be
had from the spaces between the rows
and beds. Tall growing varieties Of
ten require additional material. Gel
cry will stand good deal of cold. If
the thermometer goes below IS de-
grees it will be well to cover the
plants entirely. Remove the covering
as soon as the weather moderates and
the celery will begin to grow again.
During very severe weather the Gel
cry will freeze in the row (first)
method, while it will come out O. k. in
the bed, (second) method if a cover
ing of foot of leaves is applied pre-
vious to the cold. The explanat ion is
thus;-in the row (frst) method the
soil is banked up on each side of the
plants leaving high pointed row not
sufficiently thick to prevent hard
freeze from reaching the celery from
steep sides; while the other celery Gin
second method) is in broad beds that
can only freeze on top. The leaves
or other covering will protect the top,
and thus the celery in beds goes
through in good shape. During the
average winter, however, freezes are
not severe enough to kill celery in the
rows. In this latitude we may have
nice, fresh celery until March.-Miss

may be done any time from July 18th
to September first.
One very decided advantage in
growing your own plants is this: You
can prepare and transplant just when
the weather is most favorable with
freshly dug plants. If you fail in
your attempts to grow plants it will
then be time to secure them else
where.
Two methods of planting celery
are in vogue, namely, in rows four
to four-and-a-half feet apart, plants
six inches apart in the row; second,
in beds. In the row method the
plants should be set either on a level
or else the rows should be slightly
elevated. The beds are made as fol-
lows: Lay off the beds five feet wide
and as long as desired, leaving five
foot space between the beds. Now,
throw over the top soil on tue beds
three or four inches deep, putting
the soil in the six foot space between
the beds Level the soil in this open
ing and mark off places for the plants
so as to run the rows across the bed
or fiat bottomed opening. These
marks should be about twelve inches
apart and the plants set five or
six inches apart in these marks.
IL 1vyn
plants to the row. Now, remember
ing that the bed is five feet wide, that
the rows are twelve inches apart
and running across the bed, and that
there are say, twelve to the row, a
bed fifty feet long will hold six hum
dred plants. From the description of
the bed you will see that the plants
are put several inches below the
general level of the surrounding soil.
A little further along we will see the
reason for the space between the beds
and for setting as we have indicated.
Plan if possible during a spell OF
cloudy or showery weather. If not
favored with such a season transplant
late in the evening and water freely.
Shade for two or three days from sun,
especially during midday.
In transplanting, set the plants as
deep as possible not to cover the CEN
ter bud, placing nothing but finely
pulverized soil about the roots.
After watering, put a little dry
dirt or dust over the wet surface to
prevent crushing or baking of the
soil. Nothing is better for shading
the plants after transplanting than
crab grass or light straw. 1t is only
necessary to place the straw, Or
whatever covering is used, over the
plants along the line of the rows. For
the first two days and nights leave the
covering on the plants. After this time
remove at night and replace before
the sun grows hot. When the plants
liven up we'll leave off entirely. Celery
makes a very slow growth during
warm weather. AS the nights grow
longer in the fall and the weather
cooler growth becomes more rapid.
When the plants are six or seven inch
es high the Handling" process be-
gins. This consists in holding the
stems erect and in banking the earth

Celery Growing in the South.

could be made only in the north;
and that they possessed one crop that
we would always be compelled to
procure from them. During the past
few years southern growers have de-
monstrated the fact that celery will
do well here if proper preparation and
culture is given.
Our greatest difficulty is to grow
the plants, and to keep them alive
during the long, and sometimes, hot
and dry summers. The seed should
be planted about April LIST. A good
place to plant the seed is in an old
cold frame from which tomato or cab
bage plants have just been taken.
Make the soil very fine, especially on
the surface. Make drills across the
bed about twice as far as for cabbage,
say ten inches, and very shallow.
Drill in the seed three or four to an
inch and barely cover with finely sift-
ed soil. Water as long as the bed
will soak up water. I rather prefer to
do the heavy watering a day or two
before planting, and, if necessary, wa
ter little more after planting the
seed. When the seeds are covered lay
a piece of canvas down on the bed so
as to come directly in contact with
the surface over the entire bed. This
will keep the soil moist Immediately
around the plants and will hasten
termination. When the plants be-
gin to make their appearance lift the
canvas and support it on the frame or
in some way so it will shade the
plants during the heat of the day.
The object is to hide from the sun
and at the same time to let in the
light and air. The canvas may be
taken off at night and, as the plants
grow stronger, give more and more
sun during the early morning and
evening; finally the plants will bear
the MONDAY sun and the canvas is
no longer needed. Water should
however, be given when necessary. If
you have no cold frame, as indicated
above, it is only necessary to make a
finely pulveriZed bed with no frame
around it, lay boards or leaves on the
bed instead of canvas, and, as soon as
the plants have had sufficient time
to sprout freely, make brush shade
a little above the ground to protect
from sun. More or less sun may be
given by thickening or thinning the
brush. 1t is better that the brush be
supported by a cheap framework
than that the brush be allowed to
touch the bed. This matter of shad-
ing the plants while young is a very
important factor of success with
celery growers. When the plants
are two or three inches high thin
them to one inch apart in the drill.
To make the plants strong and stalky,
shear the tops down every two or
three weeks taking care not to clip
off the center bud. When the plants
become well tablished no water will
be needed unless the ground becomes
very dry. In this case water thor
oughly Gall the soil will hold) and
let alone until the soil is very dry

abolish the office of commissioner of pub

House yesterday, he said: The bill bears
the name of all three of the representa-

in order to strip the bill of even a SEM
blance of personality, and to show TO the
House that it is the will of our people, so
far as a united delegation can represent
this will"
When asked what he thought of the
prospects of the passage of the anti-com-
mission bills this session, Maj. Meldrm
said he did not care to express himself on
that point just at present. He is hope
full. however that the Senate will 10y
aside the so-called "sena torial courtesy"
upon which Mr.. Geiger relies to defeat the
bills in the upper house, when the facts
are all presented and, instead, accord this
courtesy to the municipality of Savannah,

the catastrophe to the players, was re-
sponsibie for a fatal wreck on the trolley
line of the Atlanta Street Railway Com
pany.
Two cars, one coming from the foot ball
grounds, loaded with over 100 passengers,
and the other going out, collided, killing
one man outright, injuring another so that
he is not expected to live till morping,
and in addition to these fatalities, five
women and a dozen other men were more
or less painfully hurt. Among them were
may accur more fatalities.

was w. NJ. Reeves. motorman on one OF
the colliding cars.
The street railway officials did every
thing they could to get the injured away
and prevent the newspapers from getting
their names. Those most seriously in
jured 50 far as can be ascertained are,
besides the two above:

The name of only one Of the five ladies
hurt could BE obtained. She is Mrs M.

The collision took place at the foot of
a very steep grade on Cooper street. Mo-
torman Reeves car was hauling a trailer,
both loaded with people from the football
grounds. The trail car jumped the track
and caused delay which in turn caused
Motorman Thomas car to run beyond the
siding, where he should have passed the
other car. 1t was dark and no headlights
were on. Reeves did not suspect there was
another car at the foot of the hill, and
went crashing into it without warning.
Both cars were demolished. Carlisle, who
was killed outright was standing on the
front of the outgoing car.
