The Value of a Rubbish Heap

Keep all sorts of trees well cleaned OF
grass and weeds about the trunk and
well supplied with coal ash or other
mulch. 1t is well to have q compost heap
always forming to use for mulch. This
is one of the most important points
about a horticultural home. I have
these compost heaps in different places
Into them are flung all leaves, all sorts
Of manure and rotting fruit. Old heaps
of refuse are begged or bought, and doz-
ems of wagon loads of autumn leaves
are gathered for these composts. All
ashes and coal ashes and brine are add
ed. These composts are used not only
for mulch but to cover Strawberries.
You cannot too strongly emphasize the
value of this kind of property. 1t is a
sin to burn leaves.-Independen
