Iulching.

Mulches for fruit trees and berry
plants are vet used, as many think. to
prevent freezing. but 10 prevent thaw-
ing 1t is not the cold that kills, but it
is the alternate freezing and thawing
during a mild winter and especially dur
ing the later months of winter.
The kind of mulch to use depends
largely on circumstances. That used
for rkspberries, blackberries and fruit
trees may be coarse manure. if the soil
needs plant food at all. Where this is
used the plant food will be leached out
during the winter and soak into the soil
for the use Of trees or bushes. Such
manure is likely to have in it large
amount of weeds and grass seeds, and
there will be Q good crop from these in
the spring which must be killed by cul-
tivation.
For strawberries something free from
seeds should be used as the grass and
weeds in the mulch will spring up in
the hills and must be pulled out by hand
with much labor.
The best mulch for strawberries is
cornstalks, marsh hay or well-shaken
straw, the shaking freeing the straw
from seeds. Whatever is used it should
be placed along the rows fret 20 as to
protect the plants and then the space
between the rows may be filled with less
care. The object is to give the plants
an opportunity to grow up through the
mulching material in the spring, Straw
berries must not be covered too deeply
or they will be killed.
The time to mulch is after the ground
is frosen hard enough to bear up team
and loaded wagon. Mulch put on al
such time prevents thawing until warm
weather comes in the spring and then
prevents the freezing and thawing that
comes with our variable springs.
Besides protecting the plants, mulch.
ing prevents the escape of nitrogen from
the soil, saving a valuable plant food

A quart of bran mixed with a peck

A quart of bran mixed with peck Of
cooked turnips will give better results
than when the same proportions Of bran
or turnips are fed separately. for the
reason that the turn ips arc composed
mostly Of water and the mixture Is more
complete as a food, while the bran is
better digested when fed with the bulky
food. Variety in feeding cOnduces to
health and the less valuable foods be-
come more valuable by mixing them
with substances that are more concen-
trated and nutritious.

In the purchase of fertilizers the
farmer has more difficulty than in any
other duty. rs he must rely largely upon
the honesty Of the man ufacturers, and
for that reason be should buy only from
reliable parties. The reliability Of man
ufaeturers may not be known TO ell, and
mistakes may occur in the factories -
There is one plan that can be pursued
however, and which will be satisfactory
to the manufacturers also, which is for
4 number Of farmers to cooperate In
making comparative tests Of oil ferti-
lizers procured by exchanging samples
The stations will also analyze samples
for farmers, but the better plan is for
each farmer to make tests and thus edu-
cate himself in the use Of fertilizers and
their effects upon plants by direct OBJ
servation. Only one dollar expended
for fertilizers for each farm, provided
several farmers will work together, will
be sufficient.

Ranncs TO be tried on the following
questions:

The Major proceeded to examine tine

question of the handwriting, upon Wfflch
even the experts fell out, he thought
that the references to covering the troops

nificant. Esterhazy, he pointed out,
would have had no difficulty III secnr-
ing the firing manual, therefore he
could hardly have written that it was
difficult to get, while Dreyfus could
not easily have obtained it.
Discussing the sentence about going
TO the manueuyres which has caused so
much controversy, Major Carriere de-
clared it would have been impossible
for Elsterhazy to write it.
Major Carriere added:

Darien, Ga, Sept. THE case against
Henry Delegal, colored, charged with
criminal assault upon white woman.
out of which affair grew the recent riots,
was given to the jury this afternoon.
The trial was held behind closed doors,
guarded by troops. The woman was in
court with her child. There were no
manifestations either of sympathy or
anger. The defense introduced no evil
dence, relying upon the character of
the prosecuting witnesses as developed
in the examination, to produce more
than a reasonable doubt in the minds of
the purors. 1t took a longer time to
secure a jury than to submit evidence
and arguments. A verdict is hardly
looked for before morning.

86TH BIRTHDAY.

Friday, June 3O.-she Receives Con-
gratulatIons.

Friday, June 30, was the eighty-sixth
birthday of Mrs. Catharine B. Couch
or "Aunt Katie Couch" as she is
known by her friends. On the after
noon and evening Of that day friends,
principally relatives, to the number OF
forty or more called to offer congratu-
lations and good wishes. Many Of
them showed their regard by gifts. At
one time five generations Of relatives
were present. Six nieces and three
grand-nieces we're present to greet
her. The average age of these nieces
was sixty-fve years. The little rece2-
ton was informal in character and ar
ranged on very short notice, as it was
only by considerable effort that Mrs
Minor was able to get the house settled
in time. 1t therefore happened that
many friends who would otherwise
have been present did not learn OF the
occasion until afterwards.
1t was all surprise to aunt Katie"
who at first could not restrain her
tears for very joy and until the last
friend was gone from the home in the
evening, her face was radiant with
gladness.
Mrs. Couch was born in Beckett,
Berkshire comfy, Mass, in 1918. For
sixty years she has lived in Yelling
ton. The older people recall her as for
years member of Deacon Cases
household, later as Mrs. Dimock, and
then as Mrs. Hiram Couch. She was
the youngest girl Of family Of twelve
children, and several Of her brothers
and sisters have died in Wellington.
She was active in her connection
with the Congregational Church
Someone recalled that years ago wher
