The floating seaWeed was formerly
supposed to have grown near the Ba-

now. however, known to grow and
propagate itself where it is found. In
it are found globular masses of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish

nine-tents of the travelling men eye
dreamed of. His income must be cor
respondingly great or he will hunt
another calling. The farmers of
America support more journals and
read more literature that treats of
their calling. than any other group of
people. The intelligence of the
farmer is correspondingly high.
If you place your ear to the ground,
as did that old magician of tabled
lore, you will hear the tramping of
millions of feet. Where is that great
multitude marching? You may be
told that it is the masses of the
city moving toward the rural world.
The country welcomes those who
earnestly expect to endeavor to learn
our business. but we warn them that
II is a trade. Their hands may
blister with the toll and their backs
ache in the distress of bearing the
heavy burdens of feeding a continent,
but it takes more than labor, it takes
a brain of culture along lines with
which they are not familiar.
Some of them viii achieve success,
many more will fail and fall by the
wayside. They will be made aware
of the fact that modern farming re-
quires the efforts of skilled labor and
not that alone, but a powerful brain
and the habit of bearing responsible
ity. The farmer must be IA manager,
a financier, a scientist along many
lines and a laborer as wen. A com

BAD MONEY
BOGUS COINS CIRCULATE FREE
GY IN MEXICO.
only When They Get Into the Banks
OF Government Offices Are They
Taken up-Work Done .
Systematically.

Counterfeiters find Mexico a good
field for their business. An enormous
amount of spurious coin is in circu-
lation in that country. A remarkable
thing about these false coins Is that
they are readily accepted in the or
binary channels of trade. II is only
when they get into the banks or Of
fees OF the federal state governments
that they are taken up and retired
from circulation. The silver peso is
the principal coin counterfeited. al
though the coins of smaller denom-
nation. particularly the h|ye-cent
piece. are not below the notice of the
Illicit metal workers.
There is no way OF estimating the
amount Of false coin in circulation,
but II must be very large, as is evil
denced by the fact that one Of every
ten coins of the peso denomination in
the ordinary transaction Of business
usually is found to be spurious.
The average Mexican of the lower
class is an adept in fligree and gen
eral metal work. The counterfeiting
outfits usually are crude affairs, and
the coins which they turn out are
good = specimens. considering the
rough method OF their manufacture.
Few of the counterfeiters take the
trouble to form an elaborate compost
ton for their goods. The majority
of them are content with ordinary
lead. In many instances the coins
are east in brass and then plated
with silver. The silver plated brass
coins are kept in circulation until the
plating wears off, when they are no
longer accepted in the usual line of
trade.
II is said that counterfeiters in
Mexico have little difficulty in placing
their product in circulation. In many
instances uncovered by the police and
secret service men the counterfeiters
sold their spurious output to mer-
chants and small dealers in different
cities and the coins were passed out
TO customers in a systematic way SO
as not to attract undue attention. The
patrons of these small stores and
market places are people of the lower
class Tor the most part, and the
rudest kind of counterfeit coin Is ac-
cepted by them without question or
comment.
The counterfeiting of bank bills or
stamps has not been attempted in
Mexico for many years. The execu-
ton of work of this kind requires the
exercise of a kind of skill that the av.
erage Mexican counterfeiter is not
possessed of. The nearest approach
to this kind of counterfeiting took
place not long ago when many thou
sand dollars worth of fraudulent
street car tickets were made and sold
in Mexico City. These tickets were
engraved and were good limitations of
the originals, but it was only a few
days after they were put on the mar
ket before the fraud was discovered
and its perpetrators arrested.

A good orchard fertilizer: Four hun

pounds of muriate of potash to the
acre.
Don't pillow an orchard when the
trees are in blossom; do it before OF
after Some growers say that work
ing the soil at blossom time causes
the bloom to drop prematurely.
If the orchard needs draining, bet
ter attend to the matter at once. Wet
feet do not make fine fruit.
Robins and orioles should be pro
tected from human vandals. Every
one of them is worth s1.50 apiece,
even If they do get a few cherries.

best agent there is to effect it. Then

APPLYING SUMMER MULCH.
Ground Should Be Worked Over Fine
and Deep and Left Free from
All Weeds.

Before applying the mulch the
ground should be worked over fine
and deep and left free from all weeds;
the clippings should then be spread
evenly over the surface, working it
under the leaves of low growing
plants and well up around the stems
of tall ones; as lilies.
Once placed the mulch should not
be disturbed, as fits object is to ex.
clude light and hot air and retain
moisture. Left undisturbed under the
influence of rain and dew 1t settles
into a feltlike mat that effectually dis
cOurages the growth of weeds, while
retaining the moisture. GOODNESS and
friableness of the soil so essential to
the welfare Of the plant.
The mulch must be added to from
time to time, as the drying out of the
grass renders it much thinner than
when applied and beds much exposed
viii require much heavier mulching
than those in partial or complete
shade. So, too, beds of fine, low
growing plants will require much less
mulching than tall, robust plants, as
the cosmos, cleome, dahlia, or per-
ennial phlox, which may be kept
mulched to a depth of eight or ten
inches to advantage, and in a season
of normal rainfall will require little,
If any, watering.
Where a part of a bed has been
mulched and the remaining part left
uncovered and watered it has been
discovered that the weeds grew ram
PANTY. needing constant attention,
and that no amount of water seems
to assuage the thirst of the soil under
a brilliant sun, while the soil of the
protected portion OF the bed would,
on turning back the mulch, be found
cool. moist and free from weeds.
1t is well, in the interest of come
illness, to add fresh grass as often as
twice a week on those beds most in
evidence. Where white clover forms
part of the covering of the lawn the
effect Of the beds covered with the
green grass and dainty blossoms and

ground during winter, will protect the
soil and prevent its teaching, and in
the spring will have decayed and may
be worked into the ground, adding a
