known in this country as the Boston Ivy

zines vs. w for the farm. 1t belongs to
he same family as the Virginia creeper
Or American Ivy but is not so gross grow
ng in habit or form. The foliage Is not
mike that of the American Ivy but in
smaller form and Is much lighter in color
sven when mature. 1t grows rapidly
throwing out, at frequent ~intervals, small
.eet or tendrils having a sticky substance
attached BIZ which IL fastens Itself to any
cough object, wood, stone or brick n
,lings tenacsously. IL IS a beautiful vine

which the branches have been removed
and is equally beautiful grown over the
sides of a brick or stone building or stone
wall. 1t Is practically hardy but not ever
green. In the fall the foliage takes on all
the various autumn hues OF the maple
leaf. The plants are moderate in price.

much beauty to the farm grounds.

USE THE DUST MULCH.

Most Of the readers Of this department
know something Of the Importance Of the
so-called dust mulch during the season of
cultivation although all do not fully real
lie what it would mean to them if they
would carry out the plan thoroughly. Most
of us who have to work the soil realize
the Importance of conserving the moisture
In it IN order hat the plants may use 1t
during the periods of excessively dry
weather, which are usual all through the
country. They understand too that a soil
allowed to remain unstirred, especially If
it is Of a claycy nature, will dry and bake
then crack; as a result the moisture
in the SOL is lost by evaporation. On the
other hand if the surface soil to the depth
of two or three inches is kept very fine, a
dust so TO speak, the capillary action on
top IS destroyed and the water is re-
tanned in the soil so hat the roots Of the
plant nave the benefit Of it. Any cult
waited crop treated in this manner can be
readily improved, the crop be much larger
n after all, the labor in raising * much
reduced for the work necessary to retain
the dust mulch destroys the weeds so
that we get the valuable dust with labor.

Ponds upon conditions. We a two
large plantations OF strawberries one Of
very light soil and the other on soil so
much heavier that few people would con-
slider it good strawberry soil. Strange
though it may seem we practice the hill
system on the light soil and the matted
row on the heavier soil and for these rea-
sons. The heavier soil is hard to culti~
vate to the extent necessary to carry out
the hill system so we use the matted row
plan and save the cultivation by mulch
ing between the o 1t should be said
that this soil though heavy IS well drained
else il would not do to mulch il for it
would keep it too wet. With the lighter
soil it is easy to cultivate and to hill the
plants and we find we get much larger
crops by this method while the reverse
is the result with tho hill system on the
heavier soil. We don't pretend to know
why this IS so but it is. If one grows
but a small area of strawberries and on
comparatively light soil we believe the
hill system will be found the most profit
able although it is something one should
experiment with and ascertain for them"
selves.

SWINE ON UNcLEARED GROUND.

One of the best ways of rait,Ig hogs dur
ing the summer at small expense is to
provide them with a range near a portion
Of uncleared ground; that is, ground
which is more or less covered with trees,
underbrush and some vegetation in the
grass line. On such a range the swine will
have all the grass needed, or, better, some
sown grain for them to turn into pork, the
woods for the shade and the underbrush to
nibble over and to act as back-scratchers
In addition to this furnish them with the
needed amount of grain, plenty of water
and a few odds and end in the way of
vegetables or an occasional slop and they
will grow in flesh and muscle; not so much
in flesh or fat, perhaps, but enough so that
they will be in excellent shape to fatten
in the fall when the proper time comes.
There is very little sense in turning the
swine out on the ordinary COW pasture
without furnishing them with additional
food and with shade and water; the hogs
need something besides grass and unless
they nave It they will not thrive.

FRUITS AND PLANTS

When one buys fruits or plants, it
is important that they get the very
best OF thrifty plants, and those true
to name. A local nurseryman must
rely on local trade, and therefore
cannot substitute one variety for
another, or he will soon lose his
trade. To be sure of getting Just
what you order, try the
