Fall Mulchinx of Trees.


II 1t Is thought necessary to apply
mulch around the base of trees or
shrubs as winter protection care
must be used not to do the work too
soon, particularly IL anything in the
nature of fertilizer Is used, such as
coarse stable manure, for there is al
ways danger of melting renewed
growth in the tree, just as it Is begin
ming to go to sleep for the winter, and
this growth, being extremely tender,
will be killed by the first cold weather,
probably with much injury to the tree.
A better plan is not to apply the mulch
until the ground freezes, applying
more, II necessary, later on.
BY far the best plan Of all In to use
earth with which to protect the roots
Of the tree or shrub during the first
cold days; put it on several inches
thick for three feet around the tree.
Later, II 1t gets too cold, little coarse
manure may be put on over the soil.
By this plan the tree or shrub will
have full protection without danger Of
melting late growth.

these holes and fasten to post where
you wish to begin. Then stretch your

enough SO the wire will slip when it is

Grinding Corn for Swine.

Grading Corn for Swine.
We believe in feeding swine 20 that
they will have something to keep them
busy as well as for the best results to
be obtained from the grain, 30 we feed
the corn whole and usually on the cob
until 1t gets hard and finty, when 1t Ia
either shelled and soaked little to
soften 1t or soaked on the cob. All
other grains are ground because it has
been demonstrated that the smaller
grains 60 through the animals and do
them but little good. Carrying out the
plan of keeping the swine busy, we al
ways have something for them to
chew on-cornstalks, squares OF sod,
apples, potatoes and other vegetables,
and we do not see that they take on
fat any slower because Of this plan OF
feeding. Pure water is given them in
clean troughs twice duy during the
winter and we know they thrive bet
ter for having it.-Exchange.

Loading Corn Fodder,

Loading corn fodder may not be
very hard work to the small farmer,
but when one has the product OF many
acres to load it becomes formidable
operation. The work can be much
more easily done if the following de-
vice is used: Make loader by using
two-inch plank ten feet long with
cleats of inch stuff nailed on one side
at short intervals. At one end nail a
cleat on the under side, which will be
three inches wider than the board on
each side. Tie small ropes to this cleat

The Jewels Of gold and silver are the

terest. Unfortunately, it is not possible
toassign a precise date to each Of them

form q part Of the finds belong to ali
periods from the fortieth or fiftieth
century B. G. down to the date Of foun

are some of every age. The rings OF
