one day when the ootanist got down

the mozo cut his head on with a
machette. took the gold pieces and
fled 10 the higher Sierras.
Not long after the body was found
by some Zapoteca Indians who had
seen the botanist In former days
studying the flowers and plants near
their village They knew that he was
a harmless and good man because he
loved flowers. So they took the
body TO the chief and told him what
they had seen and found. What

MuIcHlNG AS AN
AID TO GARDENING
Provides Protection and conserves
The Moisture.

One OF the greatest aids 10 success
ful gardening is the old fashioned
practice OF mulching. those who have
adopted il. particularly in hot. dry
weather. are convinced Of the fact that
by its means the fertility OF the soil
and the quality OF the crops are great
iy improved. Broadly speaking. mulch
ing serves a twofold purpose, % II
helps 10 conserve the moisture in the
soil and 90 H. provides additional
nourishment for the crop.
The best time 10 apply a mulch is
few days after the summer rains nave
given place 10 the hot, dry weather.
In this way the covering prevents the
escape OF the heat which is stored up
in the soil. and the moisture which Is
s<bout the roots can not be lost through
surface evaporation. Should the mulch
be applied after a spell OF dry weather
Il is essential that the ground be pre-
yiously well watered.
The best mulch is one which is com
posed OF half-decayed farmyard ma
nure. with which has been retained
fair amount OF the straw Fresf
stable manure is another very goo'
mulch. In gardens where there Is
large quantity OF lawn, the cut gIas'
from the spring mowings, II saved II
a heap. will also prove suitable 10
the purpose.
In cases where the mulch has 10 o.
applied near or within view OF tn
house and where the long manur'
