the labor saved in cultivation.
The practice would doubtless be of
little use in a climate where rain falls
freely during July and August, but
through the middle west and south,
when the soil becomes baked, unless
cultivated often, the mulch is a great
help.
Commenting on the above, the editor
of the American Agriculturist says:
What our contributor says about
mulching is undoubtedly true for a
dry season, and on light soils Elk
tensive tests lin various parts of the
country show that during a wet season
mulching is a positive detriment, as
it prevents the very necessary drying
out of the land after heavy rains. 1t
also tends to develop fungus diseases.

Gold Mines of Florida.

A correspondent of the Clay " orker
calls attention to the fact that while
gold. i'm it's natural state, cannot be
found, in paying quantities, in this
state yet there are industries which
can be made so profitable that they do
prove to be veritable gold mines.
While Florida has no great coal or
metalliferOus ore deposits. such as cop
per. lead. zinc, etc. it has vast golu
mines. in better shape and more avail
able than in quartz and hard prohy-
rite rocks. requiring big stamp mills
evaniding outfits. etc. A few years
ago it was fancied that ''apples of
gold could he grown on trees here IN
Florida. and for period OF twenty
wears or more there was great boom.
However in one night more than one
hundred million dollars were captured
bv General Jack Frost. The people
then turned their attention to agrl-
culture and more recently to stock
raising. Florida Crackers can pro-
duce cheaper cheese beef. butte.. pork.

sections of the United States by 30 per

When. Mulching Vegetables Pays.

When Mulcn1nS VeScCdOAcS dys
The correspondent of the American
Agriculturist gives his views on this
subject. We believe that on our light
sandy land, it would often be a great
advantage to mulch the plants.
A great saving of labor as well as
help in keeping the roots of vegetables
moist during the hottest weather, is
found i'm mulching the ground heavily
instead of cultivating i'm the usual
way. Any material can be used, as
hay. straw, dead leaves, litter from the
garden. spent tanbark or short shay
ings. The object is to provide some
material which is a good absorbent of
moisture and packs well enough so
that it will remain in place.
Vegetables which mature early do
not require the mulch, but only those
which grow throughout the season.
Potatoes if mulched with straw when
about six inches high, will need no
further attention until digging time,
but with them as with other things,
the mulch should never be applied on
| low. wet land, as the roots are liable
| to rot.
|
ers to retard the ripening of tomatoes,
but if applied after the first of the
! fruit is ripe, it seems to have no bad
effect, and through August, which is
| orr hottest and driest time, the mulch
| is invaluable in keeping the roots
moist and in good growing condition
In cases where the vine is allowed to
spread over the ground and the fruit
comes in contact with the SOIL, the
mulch prevents rotting.
| For squash, melon and cucumber
vines the mulch is a great labor saver
1t must be applied as soon as the
wines begin to run. Cucumbers snow
the good effects, being as clean as II
lust washed, instead of covered with
soil after every rain. %
| Summer head lettuce is almost i'm
possible in a hot, dry climate When
the mulch is applied, soon after the
plants are thinned, rapid growth and
Fine heads are secured with little
trouble. When necessary to apply
water. it will soak through the mulch
to the roots. with no chance of any
remaining on. the leaves, causing them
to decay. as they do when touching
lwet ground. Cabbage and caulif1ower
lare also much benefited by the mulch,
hut the latter can be urged to extra
growth by different kind of one.
When heads begin to form, take
COW manure. fresh if possible, but II
not it must be soaked up soft. Spread
it around the roots so that it forms
thick covering at least nine inches
each way from each plant. L never
raised such caulifiower as L grew by
this plan, one of the heads being the
J largest l ever saw. ....

many fine fibrous roots, are also great
