MULCHING AS AN AID TO GARDENING
Provides
Protection and The Moisture.
Conserves
One of the greatest aids to successful rnn!nninir is tho old fashioned
practice of mulching : those who have adopted it. particularly In hot, dry weather, are convinced of the fact that by its means the fertility of the soil and the quality of the crops are greatly improvod. Broadly speaking, mulching serves a twofold purpose; (1) it helps to conserve the moisture in the soli and (2) it provides additional nourishment for the crop. The best time to apply a mulch is a few days after the summer rains have
given place to the hot, ury w earner. In this wav the covering prevents the escape of the heat which is stored up in the soil, and the moisture which Is cOout the roots can not be lost through Burface evaporation. Should the mulch be applied after a spell of dry weather. It Is essential that the ground be previously well watered. The best mulch Is one which is composed of half-decayed farmyard manure, with which has been retained a fair amount of the straw. Fresh stable manure is another very good
ih in pnrfions where there is a
large quantity of lawn, the cut grass (mm ihn enrint mowines. If saved in
a heap, will also prove suitable for the purpose. In cases where the mulch has to be applied near or within view of the houae and where the long manure may prove unsightly, it can be passed through a coarse stove or else It maybe covered with sifted soil. Peas and runner beans are particularly benefited by mulchit.z; it will ,.i,t iio imnrinc tioriod consider
ably, besides causing the production of a more succulent pod. it Is hardly necessary to say that fruit trees, especially those recently planted, or those against a hot wall in a dry south bonier, should be mulched. With regard to the flower garden, tho value of mulching to roaes, welphinlwms and many other gross feeders, is too well known to dilate upon, while a good mulching to sweet pens may prolong their flowering period for several weeks.
Horticulture Notes. Reserve for family use all the fruit needed: it adds t0 the health and comfort of all.

AN INDIAN MURDERER.
His Fearful Punishment By a Primitive Mexican Tribe. Speaking of primitive law nmong the Mexican Indians brings to mind a rurlous ce that was told mo sorno
years ago In the State of Oaxaca ty an old Znpoteca chief who had bernm n oonvort to Christianity.
He said that a long whilo ago an American botanist waa traveling through the mountains of Oaxaca studying the rare and beautiful flora of that region, lie had with him a mozo from another part of tho country. He carried several gold pieces sewed In tho lining of his Jacket. The mozo became aware of that fact, and one duy whon tho botanist got down on his knees to drink at a little sprlns the mozo cut his head off with a machette. look the gold pieces and
fled to the higher Sierras. i Not long after the body was found , by some Zapoteca Indians who hud seeu the botanist in former dnys studying the flowers and plants neai their village. They knew that ho was a harmless and good man because ho loved flowers. So they took the body to the chief and told him what thev had seen and found. "What!"
he said. 'Shall the kind stranger with the white face who loved flowers and sought not our goods nor Insulted our women come to such a dog's death umong us and not be avenged?" H th?n disnatched four swift In
dlan runners in different direction., with orders not to return without th1 murderer. After a week's time thev returned bearing the malefactor bound in their rnidsL A council of old men was called, and the rase was exam
ined. Tho g'tilt of tho mozo was nroved. as he still had with him the
strange pieces of gold.
Then the old chier gave tne sen
tence. It was speedily penormeu. Thev led the trembling murderer to
the center of the little plaza, 'inertfour green stakes were Jriven In tinground. The murderer was stripped raked and stretched by the wrists and
feet in the air among ihe four stakes, to which he was lashod. Thea the In dtans made a great heap of unslaked
lime under the wretched mans oouy. and when the heap touched his breast and sides they poured water over It until the scalding steam of the burn
ing lime had cooked all the flesh from the bones. Then they took the bones and threw them Into a hole on the
mountain side.
Ami so was the stain of the mur
dered man's blood covered and ven geance was wrought by tho Indians in
behalf of "the white stranger wno was good and loved flowers." .Mexican Exchange.

The Donkey on the Stage.
"if curious." said a theatrical man
ager who had experienced many up.i ntiii downs, "how the stage develops
jealousies. I once had a show on the
road in which It was necessary 10 make use of a horse and a donkoy. We got the animals well trained for their parts, and on the opening night
they gave a hrst class periormance. fin thf followlni: nicht, however, we
were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse.
went on without any trouble whatev er, hut .Tank that was the name of thp
donkey could neither be coaxed nor
driven out before the footllgtits. we finally had to go on with the performance with the donkey left out. After
the show was over we got togetner and tried to find out what had been
the matter. No one could offer any ex
planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up a program, which
showed that Prince a name was prim
ed in the same kind of type we ueeJ

name printed in type which was nearly twice as big as that which we useJ

The Gila Monster. The other day I came across a fine, large Gila monster (Heloderma suspsctum) waddling along a dusty trail, noosed it with a piece of string and carried it to camp. "You want to be careful how you handle them thlng-J."
Sonora warned me. "Many a fellow has died by bela bit by 'em. I asked for particulars, names of tho victims, dates and places, of their untimelv demise, duration and character of their suffering. "Well. I myself Tjpver seen anv one of 'em." he ans
wered, "hut I've heard of 'em plenty. Any Mexican will tell ou that their bite kills." I used an old washtub for a pen for my lizards, and that evening when Eiiilers chickens wnt to roost I captured a lean and venerable rooster for an experiment I had in view. In the
morning. pra!piug the bird by the Iwm, I thrust It time and again head first against tho head of the monster, but the latter only shrank back and ahi-glt-h'y attempted to Turn tall to the a'tacVi. I ponded it with a stick, even switched It with a willow cutting, but noihiiij? I did aro-ised Us Ire. Finallv 1 killed the heloderma. made an Incision In the rooster's thijeh and inoculated It with the well mixed Mood, saliva and
fiuld from the former's mouth, throat and upper and lower Jaw. "I'll bet that rooalf-r'll lie dead in an
hour!" c-xclaimed Sonora. who was as
sis' lng In the experiment. "I don't know about an hour, but I'll bet he'll be dead before night." Old Timer offered. Thn e days elapsed, and except for a s!lght lameness the rooster has fchown no effect of tho ordeal. At thb moment he Is scratching around at the head of his harem and crowlnc as
nonchalantly as evor ho did. I have concluded that the Gila monster has no poison glands. Portions of ur.swal lowed food may and doubtless do ferment in Its mouih at times, and thus a person bitten by one Jtay be poisoned. Forest and Stream.
