When dry hay is used, it will not begin to decotn- �mose unfit soaked by rain. In the meantime, it constitutes a serious fire hapnrd and the beneficial action of the mulch is delayed. As a general rule, where grass is used as a mulch, it should be applied before July 1, or atter the terminal buds have been formed on the new wood in late sum- mer. 1 t is also desirable that the early suhnmer application be comparatively light, tato or three inches of green grass beuug sufficient, so that it will be decomposed by the middle of Au- gust, in order to permit the trees to mature and ripen the new wood. The most satisfactory time to apply the mulch is hi the late fall, or easily win- ter,whom the material can be tranmped into the slimy. , Had 42,000 Proposals of Marriage in Six Weeks (Discussing• the 'case of a woman, looking like Mae West, who was sud- d'enly'deluged with proposals of mar- riage, but all she said w•a.s 'Ras'pber- ri'es!
