A Windmill Of Other Days.

Old things are rare In the New
World-one OF the most interesting
being a sailors ancient corn-grinding
windmill at Nantucket Island. struc'
ture fifty feet In height, built by
Nathan Wilbur. an American seaman,
in ll746. In Holland he had seen the
wind-driyen mill used for saving lum;
Der and grinding grain. Settled at
length In this island, he gathered
from broken ships wrecked upon the
beach the materials for the mill. OAK
en- beams made the framework. deck
planks closed IL in, while OF an old
spruce mast a capstan was built
which transmitted handpower TO the
mill when air currents failed. The
tools with which he wrought were
brought from England, and with them
he made hickory cog teeth for the
wheel and wooden pins TO answer
instead of nails. For more than 100
years the sailors mill. constructed
OF the wreckage Of the sea, answer
ed well It's purpose, and only within
the last five and twenty years has
the grinding ceased. The last miller
doing active service was Portu-
guese, and his assistant veteran OF
our civil war. In the early eighties the
wind-driven, sail-covered wings went
round for the last time TO serve a
special purpose. Then a few bushels
OF corn were ground into meal. which
was sold In paper bags at 10 cents
each to serve as souvenirs of Nan
tucket's miller and his curious mill.
The structure Is now owned and car
ed for by the Historical association
of the island. and is opened to the
public once each year as noted land
mark and suitable museum for the
preservation Of Colonial relics.

TREE MULCH IS IMPORTANT

Rapid Evaporation.

Before hot, dry summer weather
sets in the young trees and shrubs, also
the newly set privet and evergreen
hedge, should have about four inches
or half-rotted straw leaves or freshly
cut grass spread around each tree. Be-
fore applying the mulch fork up the
ground around the tree and rake fine,
then spread the straw on grass. The
covering should extend out fully two
feet from the trunk of the tree to pro-
tect the roots. A few large stones
should be put on top Of the straw to
keep it in place. Only those who prac-
tice mulching know it's value. The
mulch will prevent evaporation, keep
the soil cool and most and prevent the
growth of weeds. Currants, eooseber.

planted and carefully mulched will
make a vigorous growth the first year
and come into full bearing at least
several years earlier than trees that
were not mulched. Ornamental shade
trees should likewise be given thick
mulch.

Plan to set out at least few trees
every spring.
The red raspberry is one Of the
most popular Of small fruits.
Trees should be ordered and planted
as soon as the ground is dry enough to

If the rabbits have gnawed only
the outer bark, wrap the wound with

There are no conflicting opinions
among growers on the effects of cover

The dwarf pear may be planted in
orchards from ten to twelve feet
apart; the half standards should be

Raspberries and blackberr1es should
be mulched with straw or litter after
they have been shallow cultivated two
or three times In the spring.

bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as IS. My cattle have never been

l consider that this country offers bet

where I have ever been. l am sure
that almost any person can come here

perience is that II man farms his
