As many farmers have (and all ought to have) a bed of ktrawberriee, and the orop next year depends largely on tbe way the plants are mulched for the coming winter, I will tell what I consider the best mulch the farmer 'oar use, and it can be had on every farm,• as it is fodder waste,. says Waldo F. Brown, in New York Tribune, Begin in September or October to feed yoar horses on Dorn fodder cut to foot lengths, or' shorter, and then bed them with the waste, using no other budding. Do not clean the etalis daily, but keep forking it unsder them, and let it accumulate until the stalks are trampled flat and wet with urine and mixed with urine. It" will improve it if' you can store it in a roomy shed and keep an animal `louse on it until you are ready to use it. Managed in this way, the cornstalks •will contain a considerable omourit of fertilizing matter, whioh the winter rains will witsh down to the planta to give them a good start in the spring ; there will be no seed of any kind in it to tr;ublo the. following season ; 'the mulch will be light end will not smother the plants, and it will be flat and will lie close to the ground, so that it will not blow off. I think it the best of all mulch for this purpose, and if out short, as I recommend, it is easy to handle. This mulch should be applied the first time the ground freezes enough to bear the waggon. Repairing Trees Injured by Mice. Young trees are injured more or le the winter time by being 'girdled by and rabbits, especially young apple trees. the surface in spring sufficiently to barely cover the seed. It is usually said. that this is done to get the grain in earlier.

Ashes for Animals. Prof. Henry's recommendation that hardwood ashes should be given swine should be heeded by every- hog raiser. Wood aehes are excellent for keeping ani- mals in health. It has been our only - condition powder for horses for thirty-five years, and in that time we have post only one horse, and that was due to overwork one very hot day when we were absent. We pat a 'stroked teaspoonful of hardwood ashes on the grain ration_of-each--horse twice a week. I would hardly undertake to raise swine without wood e ashes and charcoal. , We mix with them ,salt, and keep the mixture before the swine all the time. When it is continually before them they will not take too much. If the sanely of ashes from the house fires isnot enough, I barn a brush pile or some other rnbbieh, drowning out the fire to get a good bed of charcoal. Hardwood ashes are excellent for cattle, especially when onireeu feed. Adams County, Ile _ J. M. S.

The Meaning of " Whoa." A horse -breaker has given me a lesson in the proper use of words. This, in its way, is quite as remarkable as would be a literal finding of sermons in stones. This expert was instructing his audience, as he pro- ceeded to subdue a balky horse, in the ri4ht nee of tbe word " whoa." " Balky drivers," " as ho phrased it, make -balky horses.; These unskilful drivers, for exem- pla will say "whoa" to a horse repeatedly, as in going round a corner, when they really mean only " steady." " Don't say whoa unless yon mean stop," was his terse injunction. In other •words, do not ase a superlative" word when, a positive word serves the purpose. Better for the horse and better for the driver.
