Jacobs, in Farmers' Advocate. Effect of Mulching on IMooininc Plants. In spite of the repeated experiments at different stations, as well as in gnrdcna'of private persons, there are some pebble who still talk about mulching trdes and plants to retard blooming. Mulching plants can retard blooming only when the entire plant i$ ' covered with the mulch, as in the cai^e of strawberries or raspberry and/fcjackberry vines that are laid do?ir and Covered up. This, however, , can make but a few days difference-.in the time of blooming, for it will not be safe to keep such vines coveted after they have begun A a 1 /vn or o o aw Ironn W IVIIAUI X*. o <VUQ uo vuvj u cold the mulch may safely be retained. . In the case of trees, however, the mulch will not retare the b!o?soming for a single .hour. The mulch affects only the rbpts of the tree, while the sun and heat awaken the sap in the limbs and trunk into life. It is the life in the top of the tree that causes the flowers to spring forth. Experiments with grape vines have demonstrated that their roots may be in frozen earth -and yet their branches, if taken into a hothonse, will bring ' forth blossoms and even leaves. It is possible for mulching to become a detriment if left on the gronnd above the roots of trees in the spring, especially if the mulch be so thick that it keeps the ground frozen for some time after the ground around it has been thawed out. As has been said, the sun will start the buds and leaves and the sap will begin to flow. The nest operation must be the development "f the various parts of the tree, inc ing the roots and the root-ht?irs. is. therefore, desirable that the eroi. warm up and dry up as soon as possible to permit the various activities of the tree to get ioto fall operation. In most cases, however, the mulch is too thin on the ground to prevent the thawing of the soil. Generally speak-* ing, it does not pay to attempt to control flowering of any plants by means of the mulch.?Farm, Field and Fireside. Culture of Strawberries. The following excellent method foi * " - ~ f lO O./I glUWlIJ^ UI DUU\T UtiiiVW WV.WW--Wby the Virginia Experiment Station: In the first place, select only young plants for setting. These can always be distinguished by their red roots. As soon as the plant has fruited the crown and roots take on a dark color. It is not advisable to select many varieties. For a family garden two first earlies, two medium and two late varieties are sufficient, and one of each season would probably be better. However, it is necessary to avoid se-' lecting varieties with imperfect blossoms. One row of plants with perfect flowers will readily pollinize two or three rows on either side. It is best to set strawberries in the spring. Early setting is not important; but they should be planted when the ground can be put in good condi ' ?It fofa tiuu auu givoju uicuu uuibuio lumi ? in atithran. Care should be taken to remove all blossoms the first season. Place the plants in rows four feet wide and 20-24 inches asunder in the row. Turn the rnnners along the line of the rows so as to fill up a matted'row about one foot wide. It is well1 to prevent the plants from setting in a tight mat. This can be accomplished by pulling off runners after the' plants have set sufficiently heivy. Having given the plants good culture until late fall, the applicaticn of a mulch in wfhter is very beneficial for several reasons. It prevents unseasonable bloom, which often occurs in Virginia, and much weakens the plants, moisture is retained and the berries kept olean by the mulch. The mulch must be applied carefully, for if too heavy the plants will be-killed. Put on just enough material - to cover the vines almost out . of sight. Old, partly rotted stack bottoms avo generally the best material available in this state, Eresh straw is apt to carry [considerable grain and weed seed. , The mulch can often be slightly parted over the rows in spring with advantage tp the plants. Spring cultivation^ beneficial if done early, but j ifris a question whether it will pay to i remove and replace the mulch. If i not, omit the cultivation.

The Money Value of Good Roads. y I y HE report of the Maryland I f Geological Survey for 1892 I annonnces that tbe people oJ q that State have expended ovei ?6,000,000 in tbe last ten years on theii common roads; most of the money has been wasted in continual repairing. Many of the roads have no natural drainage. They are bad roads a pari or all of the time. The Survey hat made a careful estimate showing thai it costs the people of Maryland $3, 000,000 a year more to do their hauling over poor highways than it would cost if they were turned into first-rate roads. This estimate supplements the in< formation collected by the Department of Agriculture in 1895, when it re ceived data from over twelve hundred counties from all over the oountryand found that the average cost of hauling a ton load*one. mile was twenty-five cents, while the average cost in six European countries that possess im? proved highways was almost exactly one-third as much. More than one faotor enters into the cost of hauling, but the main ' reason why our farmer* i _ n : . i pay inree limes as mucn per mne af European farmers pay is that they can haul, on an average, only one ton ovei poor dirt roads, -while the European farmer hauls from three to four ton* at a load over fine highways. > No one knows the total mileage ol our common roads, but their length in New York State is estimated at 123,' . 000 miles. The more important high* ways of Massachusetts have a mileage of 20,500 miles. All students of highway improvement agree that the condition of most of the common roads it America is about that of the English roads, early in this century, when they -were so bad and toll rates sohigt that the question of improvement -was forced upon the British public. Eng laml Had no railroads then, and if it had not been for the wonderful development of our railroads the question of highway improvement would 1 have (Some to the front long ago in thie country. The people, however, are more and more impressed every year with the fact that road improvement is necessary to reduce the cost of hauling, i to make roads fit for pleasure driving, and to save' the enormoue waste of labor now expended on bad roads. When we fully understand that there is no economical way to obtain good roads except by building the best, our practical education will have made a long step. * This lesson has not vet JfcMBdn learned thoroughly. Many of our ' so-called good roads are not the best and, therefore, are not economical. The men who built them would have done better work and spent no more money if they had profited by the experience j of England and France. Maryland has gone about the work i r>f road imnrovement in a wav that promises excellent results. The State | has recognized the fact that geological j considerations are a most important1 factor in good road-making. In 1898 the General Assembly passed a bill for the annual expenditure of $10,000 by the Geological Survey in the investigation of road construction in the State. The first published result is this comprehensive report on thp distribution of the rock material required for good road-making, on the failure of the "improved" roads to meet the needs of modern traffic, chiefly owing to the fact that they were built without competent engineering supervision and without care as to grades and drainage, and on many other practical matters. The report will help to place road improvement in Maryland n? inf/illiffflnf Koci'o f f aVinnls? * likewise promote the caase of good roads throughout the country.?NewYork Sun. Free Roads For Baltimore. With a view to keeping the publio roads leading out of Baltimore free from toils the United Railways Company has made a free deed of gift to Baltimore City and Baltimore Couniy of those portions of the Baltimore and York turnpike, the Baltimore and Hartford turnpike, and the Belair turnpike which lie within the limits of the city and county. The company officials say they are in the railway, not the turnpike business, and that their object is to build up and develop the city and surrounding country, acting upon the theory that such development is certain to benefit the railway company. To se cure proper development, they claim all roads entering the city should be free. The York Road tnrnpike is thirty 1 miles long, the Hartfcrd eighteen miles, and the Belair Road nine miles. Two miles of each of the former roads and one mile of the latter lie within tho city limits. On the York Road in the city limits the company has spent $40,000 grading and macadamizing. The Hartford Road cost the company 1 originally $30,000, and on it the company has spent$8000in improvements. The Belair Road cost the company $25,000. HiRhwny Work by Convlcti. According to the report of the Industrial Commission, the State of New York leads the Union in the enlightened recognition of the moral as well as the economic value of highway work by' convicts. California jnd North Carolina are also doing well. Roadmaking does not interfere with conducting other forms of labor an State acoount also. There are some months of every year when work I sn the highways is impracticable in a Northern oilmate, and days here and there even in the mild season when train- prevents. This leaves a considerable aggregate of time to be devoted to indoor labor, such as making clothing and other, prison supplies?a line in which overproduction, followed by long periods of enforced idleness, is the rule when indoor labor is the only dependence. A Serious Question. When a Government official, in- . struoted to investigate the economical Bide of the question, reports there is an annual loss of $500,000,000 to the country because of bad" roads, it certainly appears the matter is worthy of the teritus attention of the political partj^g and Congress.

The best way to clean off the dark maiks of boiled eggs from silver is with a little powdered and sifted bicarbonate of soda mixed with whiting. A Waterproof Varnleh. A good waterproof varnish for old umbrellas and storm-coats is made of two parts of tnrpentine, three parts oflineeed-oil, and one part of powdered litharge. Mix thes6 ingredients together thoroughly, and boil in a waterbath, that is, in a vessel floating in boiling water, the same as the cabinetmaker melts his glue. When the var msh is thoroughly boiled so that every part is dissolved remove it from the stove and apply with a brush while warm. It should be painted over the article to be varnished with the same care as if it was paint. If it is an umbrella, open it wide, and spread the varniBh smoothly. After it has dried a second coat may be applied if needed. When the varnish has dried it will not be stiff and oracklyi but will show great elasticity. This varnish can be employed in a great variety o! ways. The Dlnlng-Room. Every dining-room should have its rug. The quality of this rug must, however, vary with the purchasing power of the individual. Two things ought to be remembered. The rug must not he so thin that it rolls up with every chair that is .drawn across it, not so thick that no chair oan be dracra at all. The rug may be laid over a bare floor, a carpet, a filling, or a matting. BagB made of pieces of carpeting with a border are never possible in really beautiful dining-rooms, And am nnlv tn innnnidflrfid when J questions of economy have to enter in. it mnstnot be understood by this that these rags are in bad taste, bnt simply that thpy are a confession to weakness, as it were?of the necessity of using something which a salesman sometimes tells you,''though cheaper, is exactly as good as the.other." Rugs of every' kind are manufactured today. The housekeeper has only to take the dimensions of her room,state what price she can afford to pay, and then choose the best that comes within the range. Rugs ought always to be lower in color key than the rest of the room, or they seeki to jump up at you, and make a most.unpleasant effeot.?Harper's Bazar. "Floral Bower" Bedrooms. The flower room has not been overdone apparently, for the ingenuity of the art decorators has been taxed sorely to find some novelty to introduce into the bowery nooks for whioh they have created a demand by arfiutirt nunors und riftinfced fnr.nitnre. When the flower-room scheme first came into being roses, forget-me-nots and chrysanthemums were the stock flowers. Then original maidens with favorite flowers and indulgent .mammas ordered their dressing tables, bureaus, etc., of white enamel, curly birch or bird's-eye maple, to be decorated with sprays of blossoms, bunches of violets, clusters of corn flowers, daisies, buttercups, even dandelions, and one woman had a set of white wood painted witji exquisite orchids. Fond lilies made beautiful mother set of white bedroom' furniture, and scarlet poppies painted on i background of curly birch made a brilliant showing for a room whose woodwork and hangings were of dull, soft green. . Wall paper, floor coverings, window hangings, chintz and cretonne for furniture coverings can all be obtained in the same colors and designs in these artistic days. In any case the flower is repeated in all the "fittings" of the pretty room. Dimity curtains of white colored flowers are charming for cottage windows, and otfingtothe skill wjth which they are made manage to look quaint without being garish or too highly colored. Ketfpee.
