To breathe its fierce enchantment there.

to be made in the future. is to be in the
reduction in the cost of transportation.
We have already shown that the rates
of charges on freight have been reduced
by at least two-thirds within twenty five
years. In consequence of such reduc-
ton produce can now be moved 800

moved 500 miles twenty five years ago

Planting Strawberries in September

Planting Strawberries in September.
A reader living in New Jersey writes
to know if strawberries planted in the
early part of September will bear crop
of fruit next year. To this inquiry
would say, Yes, under the following
conditions: First, the soil must be
rich, second, the plants must be of this
years growth, with healthy roots, and
plenty of them, and must be trans
planted in moist or damp weather, and
if the weather continues dry, must be
watered freely, few times always in
the evening after the sun has gone
down; third, the strawberry bed must be
.mulched before cold weather sets in,
with yardmanure to be left on till Spring
With such treatment, a bed Of strawber-
ries may be set out in September that
will yield, not quite as much fruit as il
put ont in the Spring, but enough fol
family use; and the berries will be, on
the average, of larger size than those Of
the Spring planting. .a .,s
