TREE MULCH IS IMPORTANT
HaIf-Rotted Leaves Excellent for
6pring-Planted Trees---Prevents
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
Oh kalf-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 1t in place. Only those who prac.
tice mulching know its value. The
mulch will prevent evaporation, keep
the soil cool and most and prevent the
growth of weeds. Currants, gooseber-
ries and raspberries yield larger ber-
ries and much more fruit when the
bushes are mulched early In June. The
rose borders should be mulched with
the lawn clippings. Young hedge
plants, after the ground is forked up
on each side of row and raked fine.
should be mulched with any material
that may be at hand--grass, weeds,
rotted straw or half.rotted leaves

table matter should be forged under
and good dressing of well-rotted ma.
nure spread on each side of the hedge
to enrich the soil and to protect the
roots. Trees and shrubs properly
planted and carefully mulched will
make 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

The open fruit tart is a German ma.

brother. Apples or plums are scat
tered not too lavishly on surface OF
thick pastry, and speckled with
brown sugar.
These tarts are often eaten with the
preparation known as Dick Mich,
the forerunner of our craze for sour
milk.
Germans would, however, feel much
insulted If they heard their favorite
dainty stigmatized as sour" instead
of thick" In their opinion 1t is
merely milk in solid form, and for
generations they have esteemed its
properties highly, regarding 1t almost
as a medicine
For its preparation all that is nee
essary is to keep bowl of milk in
the cellar for three or four days,
then skim off the cream and beat 1t
quite smooth with a wooden spoon,
and afterward add the milk very slow
ly beating all the time. 1t is usually
