be rich and mellow prior to planting |;
the weeds and grass must be kept out
Of the beds, the first season, and there
should be no disturbance of the ground
near the roots, at any time in the spring
Of the second year, before the fruit is
ripe. From the time the blossoms come
out, until the fruit is matured, straw
berries require great deal Of moisture.
If, from any cause, this moisture Of the
soil is cut of even for . short time, the
weld as we'll as the size Of the fruit
will be materially reduced. In q climate
like ours, where we are subject to long
droughts, it is Of the utmost importance
to guard against such contingencies
The most simple, practical, and mex
pensive way Of doing this is BY "mulch-
ing," or covering the ground between
the rows. and among the "stools." with
salt marsh hay or straw. This can be
done any time through the month Of
May. and will always repay literally
for the outlay When the mulching
materisl-salt hay, straw. or pine hay
is plenty, it may be put on couple
inches 10 thickness, no injury resulting
from the quantity. The mulch answers
adouble purpose of keeping the ground
moist, cool, and Of even temperature,
and at the same time preserving the
fruit clean and free from sand and grit,
Of which there is sure to be much in
the fruit when the beds are left without
it. By running the mulchiDg material
through hay-cutter, the labor Of put
ting il on is greatly lessened. especially
ifthe rows and plants are close together.
The mistake is often made Of using
fresh hay as mulch on strawberries.
which results in giving irst-class
"set'' in grass that will choke the vines.

WHINING There is class Of people
in this worldly no means small
whose prominent popularity is whining.
They whine because they are poor; Or. if
rich because they have no health to enjoy
their riches; they whine because they
have "no luck" and others prosperity
exceeds theirs; they whine because some
friends have died, and they are living !;
they whine because they have aches
and pains, and they have aches and
pains because they whine, and they
whine no one can tell why. Now, We
would like to say a word to those whin-
ing persons. First, stop whining-it is
no use. this everlasting complaining,
fretting. fault-fnding and whining.
Why, .you are the most .deluded set Of
creatures that 'sver lived Do you know
that It is 4 well-settled principle Of
physiology and common sense that these
habits are more exhausting to nervous
vitality than almost any other violatio1
Of physiological law? And do you
know that life is pretty much as yon
make it? You can make it bright and
shiny, or you can make it dark and
shadowy. This is only meant to dis
cipline us-to ft us for higher and
pnrer state Of being. Then step whinr
ing and fretting, and 60 on your way
rejoicing
