STRAWBERRIES EoR THE MILLION
1t is a burning shame at this day for
any farmer or gardener, no matter where
located, to be without clean and thrift
ty strawberry bed for family use. The
old plea that the common farmer has no
time to fritter away in raising such
stuff never was valid excuse for
neglecting the kitchen garden. 1t is
one of the most profitable parts of any
farm. No kitchen garden is complete
without strawberry patch. To one
that has always been accustomed to a
bountiful supply of small fruits for
home use, it is strange to find farmers
cultivating from so to 200 acres with
the ordinary field crops from year to
year, and still these very same men
working hard and contented stilP'-
without raspberry, a blackberry, a
current, or strawberry under culture.
These same farmers would think it quite
important to keep so acre field of corn
as clean as an onion bed, and yet have
no such feelings about strawberries.
We have seen many plats that might
with propriety be called grass beds,
with here and there a strawberry plant
belonging to this class of farmers.-N
Z. Tribune.

ALsIKE CLovER-We are constantly
receiving inquiries as to where the seed
of Alsike Glover and Orchard Grass can
be obtained. We suppose they may be
had at most of the leading seed stores.
Among the most reliable of these, stand
B. K. Bliss & Sons and Peter Hender-
son & Co., of New York, both of whom
we can recommend from personal expe-
rience as careful and reliable firms. The
Alsike Clover is sold, we think, at from
20 to 60 cents a pound, and the Orchard
Grass % pounds to the bushel) at
1925 to $3.50 bushel. Small guam
titles can be ordered and received with
safety by mail larger quantities by ex-
press. We are glad to see the increas-
ing interest in these valuable forage
plants, for we need a greater variety in
cultivation than we now have. The
quantity recommended for sowing is
from four to twelve pounds of Alsike
and from one to two bushels of Orchard
Grass to the acre. Orchard Grass goes
best with red clover, and Alsike with
herdsgrass, as the two former and the
latter are in condition to cut about the
same time.-Vt. Farmer.

A WONDER OF VEGETATIoN.-There
is no tree known on earth which sub
serves so many purposes as the bamboo.
The Indian obtains from it part of his
food, many of his household utensils,
and wood at once lighter and capable
of bearing greater strains than heavier
wood of the same size. Besides in expe-
ditions in the tropics under the rays of
vertical sun, bamboo trunks have more
than once been used as barrels, in which
water, much purer than could be pre-
served in vessels of any other kind, is
fresh for the crew. Upon the west coast
of South Asia, bamboo furnish all the
materials for the construction of houses
at once pleasant, substantial, and pref
cradle to that of stone, which the fire.
quently recurring earthquakes bring
down npon the heads of the dodgers
The loftiest of the bamboos is the SAM
mot. In tracts where it grows in the
greatest perfection it sometimes rises to
the height of 100 feet, with stem only
Is inches in diameter at the base. The
wood itself is only an inch in thickness.
The fact that the bamboo is hollow has
made it eminently useful for variety
of purposes-it serves as measure for
liquids, and if fitted with lid and bot
tom, trunks and barrels are made of it.
Small boats even are made of the largest
trunks by strengthening them with strips
of other wood where needed. In one
day they obtain the height of several
feet, and with microscope their devel-
opment may be easily watched. But
the most remarkable feature about the
bamboo is their blossoming. With all
this marvellous rapidity of growth they
bloom only twice in century, the flow
er appearing at the end of fifty years
Like other grasses, they die after hav-
ing borne seed.

A BIG CLooK.-The large clock at
the English Parliament House is said to
be the largest one in the world. The
four dials of this clock are twenty-five
feet in diameter. Every half minute
the point of the minute hand moves
nearly seven inches. The clock will go
eight and half days, bat it only strikes
for seven and half, thus indicating
any neglect in winding up. The mere
winding up of the striking apparatus
takes two hours. The pendulum is fif-
teen feet long; the wheels are of cast
iron the hour bell is eight feet high
and nine feet in diameter, weighing
nearly fifteen tons, and the hammer
alone weighs more than four hundred
pounds. This clock strikes the quarter
hours, and by its strokes the shorthand
reporters in the Parliament chambers
regulate their labors At every stroke
new reporter takes the place of the
old one, whilst the first retires to write
out the notes that he has taken during
the previous fifteen minutes.

There is one kind of stock, certain,
that no farmer of Orleans County need
expect to get any better breed abroad
than he can get at home. We refer to
Chester White Swine. We acted as
chairman of the committee on swine at
the New England Fair last fall. and
there were no White Chesters on the
ground equal to what can be seen at any
time in the pens of Thos. Baker at Bar
ton. or of H. G. Cleveland in Coventry.
Farmers can buy of either of these gen
tlemen with perfect security that they
will get not only thoroughbred but care
fully bred stock, such as will give per-
feet satisfaction. Vt. Farmer

YOUNG FRUIT TREES.

We esteem fall planting much prefer
able to spring planting, because cultiva-
tors have usually more leisure to plant
trees properly, and there is not so much
danger from the tree starting before
transplanting from the nursery, as in
the spring season. But we find still
another advantage in the selection of
fruit trees which all will do we'll to note.
Young trees are much better than old
ones. We would never plant out stand
ard pear tree over two years old; nor a
dwarf tree over two years old also. If
any one will observe the usual method of
digging three year old trees from the
nursery, they will find the roots greatly
mutilated, and fully one-third are lost
when the tree is at last dug from the
ground. To counterbalance this loss,
the top of the tree must be cut back in
the same proportion; and when this is
done there is little if any better stock
left than Is found in good two years
old tree.
Where person has ground in abund-
ance, and can afford to wait patiently,
we would recommend one year old trees.
We do not loose three per cent in trans
planting one year old trees, while older
ones suffer fully twice as much.
We can then cordially commend The
Fruit Growers Greed for setting out
young trees:
lst. Because they cost less.
I'd. The freight is light.
Sd. It is easier to prune the head.
4th. They will outgrow larger and
older trees, which have to be cut back
when transplanted.
There is no such gain in planting big
trees. Eight years ago the writer set
one, two, three, and four years old trees
the same day, and on the same soil.
The very first apples of course, came
from the four years old trees; but they
were few in number, and to day the one
and two years old are the most vigorous.
and have borne in the aggregate the
most fruit. In setting large orchard
the one and two years old trees l verify
believe are the most profitable
Keeling in, is favorite process with
some planters who purchase their trees
in the fall, heel them in during the win
ter, and in the spring are able to set
them out earlier than they could obtain
the same from any nurseryman.
"Heeling in is simply digging a
trench, say two feet wide and one spade
deep, and long enough to hold whatever
number of trees you have. Commence
at one end of the trench, laying your
trees in a slanting position, and cover
the roots well with earth. pressing il
firmly with your foot Then put in an,
other layer, as before, and so on till all
are ''heeled in Now dig a trench one
spade deep all around this bed of trees,
throwing the dirt on the trees near the
ground, and over all put few inches
deep of straw for winter protection.
