Mulching; ie, very erten, an excellent thing to prebarve the moisture in the soil, and pre- vent evaporation, Before a crop has done much in the way of shading the soil with foliage, it also acts beneficially in keeping a uniform temperature in, the soil, Then again in poor coil if nearly rotten manure is used it is an excellent way of adding ferti. lizers. This spread on the top, a. portion carried down, et every, rain, is in lust the position to be taken advantage of by the Young roots. Mulching has a tendency to keep down weeds, which is another thing. Trees nevety planted, partieuharly if large ones, are very apt to sniffer in dry open. A good mulch around such as far as the roots extend will save them, One thorough watering, a loosening of the soil on the sur- face and then a mulch, will keepthe mois- turein the groand double the time that it would if left thoroughly exposed to the sun and wind. Some people place large atones around newly -planted shade trees. These have a tendency to attract moisture from below and prevent evaporation. Very dice, Seeds,, particularly among choieo flower made are treated this way until germination has tak- en place. The object of the mulch in toils ease is to keep a uniform moisture without much watering, Very dna seeds, almost like dust, have to be sawn very class to the aeur- ,save. Itis difficult to keep this motet with. oat continuous eprinkliog, which again is not desirable. It la overcome by a welsh or a ,pane of glass. If the former, then very ale sphagnum mess -the cause as is used for packing the nurserymen's trees or filling the florists' beekete to act the flowers lute, is sprinkled over the eurfeee.

Apple trees areconstantlytaking up pot- ash from the soli and storing a larger par. tion of it in the wood, eaye the Germantown Te;igtnp1s, end it is for this reason that in cid orchards there is sometimes a dearth in fruitage boeaueo of a scanty supply of this oasential fertilizer available for use. Wnen trees have been deriding for yeare drawing from the natural eupply, of there is no ap- glic;ation, it is not at all surprising that there abould come a time when the avail- able supply is exhausted; not only the pot - Ash, but all other mineral plant food. This is undoubtedly ono iroliflo cause of feiiuro and the decay of trees in old oroherdt. Ae a rale, farmers are averse to cultivating orchards, and at the same time seem to fail. in realisation of the fact that during all the years that pats exhaustion is constantly go- ing an. For the supply of neoessary food to trete there is nothing better nor more natural than ashes, and, unless supplied, a cense of failure may reasonably be antici- pated. Spreading broadcaat brings them where they will be carried to the roots of the trees and become, at once available. A. dressing in aummer while fruit is forming will greatly aid its development, as it seems to have a tpecilic effect in the refreshing process. Tru SEX IN EGGS. A correspondent of the London Jautna r s in reference to the o $orticultu el as r question of sex in eggs t Last winter an old poultry keeper, told me he could distinguish the sex in eggs, I laughed at him, and was none the less skeptical when he told me the following secret : Eggs with the air blad- der on the centre of the crown will produce cockerels ; those with the bladder one side. will produce pullets. The old man was so certain of the truth of this dogma, and his poultry yard so far confirmed it, that I de- termined to make experiments upon it this year. I have done so, registering the egg bladder vertical. or bladder on ono side, and rejecting all in which it was not one or the other, as in some it is only very slightly out of the center. The following is the re- cult. Fifty-eight chickens were hatched, three are dead, eleven are yet too young to decide upontheir sex; of the remaining forty-four, every one has turned out true to the old man's theory., This, of course, may be an accidental coincidence, but I shall certainly try the experiment again. Sou22ors of HoNEY,SVPPLF. Bees will not be diverted from their na- tural pasturages; and the great sources of supply in early fruit blossoms, in bean and clover fields, in the woods, and in the wild flowers of our fields and meadows, must still be our dependence as honey -producing areas for our bees. Bat as food it is most valuable when most required, and supplies from these sources are not always available when most necessary, we must make use, largely and freely, of the materials which our travelers and botanists have placed within our reach.. There are periods in the year when but few of our native plants appear in bloom, and we often gee in very early Spring that bees are tempted from their hives by a lilt! e sun- shine, and mail must have observed' the enjoyment they have m visiting any chance flowers they may find expanded. It is most desirableto cultivate as many early -blooming planta as possible, to meet the anxious Cray.. ing of bees for their naturaltood, HAVE A Peeve nap EVERYTHING, A day or two ago I,vasat a farmer friend's when a break -dote Ie machinery occurred.

This rule should apply to the kitchen also. Often the women of the family spend a good deal of time in hunting for articles that have been mislaid, elmply !because there did not appear to be any partieular place far theca, If there is no place, make one,. and insist ort having the .articles that belong there kept in it; This will save time and temper, and the eonvenience of the plan will nonmetal it to all who give it a trial, Vncle ]Si'hralm's Story, Uncle l phtaine, alt aged colored mac, lsa en nannyod qualities that his habit occasionally "crewing the lat; bow" pardoned him by hie friends.

A month to grass will work a wondrous ohmage with a horse whith is feverish and getting stocked. We used to turn our horses out, at night, and keep them in the stable, if not at work, during the daytime. They would renew themselves in this way. And the run to the grass Wag just' enough laxative to purify the blood and take all the fever out of them. When a horse is kept on dry food and fed grain for more than a year, without change, the grain does not seem to have the effect in sustaining the system that it does after eating grass. The change is in the lack at complete digestion and as- similation. The stomach becomes more or lees inflamed and congested and the food passes through ib and is not absorb- ed and made into new blood. There is no sort of economy in this sort of man- agement, as food is wasted, and the horse is not benefited. Increasing the amount of grain will not remedy the trouble, as the horse has too much already. Any horse should have a rest of a few days when first turned to grass, but after it has be. come used to the new diet it may be worked carefully, It should be driven slowly, for it will heat up rapidly, and. as it cannot get rid of the water in its aye tem by evaporation fast enough, it will sweat profusely. If it did nee, it would die. The horse, fed grain, and full of fever and congestion, has no water in its body, comparatively, and of course it Can stand harder image. The truth is, cows and all animals would freeze in winter if they were in the same physical condition they are in summer -when fed on grass. While this is true, it is nevertheless a nee eessity that all animals ehoull have this re newel which the succulent foods of summer bring about so well. The city man, who cannot spare his team, wisely buys bunches of clover or green rYe for his horses and this acts as an antidote to remove fever, and helps a little. In this way the city horses are made to do service longer than if entire- ly deprived of green food. Nerviline. What is it?
