GARDEN MANURE
Rich manure, especially if fresh, is mot only undesirable, but objectionable. Any decomposed material that can be stored m the tot heap for a few months ii suitable* and vastly preferable to animal manure of any kind, exoept It be very much reduced by decomposition. Thus grass mowings, the paring* of grass edgings, theicraplngs of roads, leaves, weedi-.-whioh, if seeding, should be fjurned— —the aihei of pruning, and all sorts of re'ute from the garden, will make tbs very test compost for top-dreteing fruit borders. All such material should be carefully preserved and laid up iv a heap to be turned over frequently, always turning the roughest and least decomposed parti Into tbe heart of the heap at each turning. Tbli Is a point of the economy m the garden which is too little appreciated, but which well repays the slight ttouble entailed In attending to It closely.
