Setting strawberries i'm Autumn.

Although spring is the best time generally
for transplanting strawberry plants, yet it
often becomes desirable to do the work later
in the season. The plants, if set in August,
make some growth, and obtain a good foot
hold before winter. One of the difficulties
with trarsplantng later is the lial ility to be
thrown out by frost The work will succeed
well in September if the following precau
tions are observed Procure strong plants of
the same seasons growth, with abundant
roots, and set in rich, deep and mellow
sol which has good surface and bottom
drainage; spread the roots out well like an
umbrella, which will prevent heaving out
better than if crowded together; if the soil
is dry, settle it about the roots with water
when the hole is partly filled; mulch with
manure, and keep the surface well protected
with such mulching in winter, taking care
not TO cover The crowns of the plants. If
the soil is heavy or clayey, make it slightly
convex about the plants, and press it firmly
with the foot, leaving smooth surface to
throw off the water or rain Coventry Cen

Advnntages of The Use of Lime.

An English writer sums upan exhaustive
article upon lime by detailing the advan-
tages of its use thus:
"Ihe advantages of the use of lime are so
many and SO great that it is almost impossi-
bic to enumerate the whole ofthem. Their
effects may be described at being both chem
ical and mechanical, and as being exercised
both on the organic and inorganic constitu-
ents of the soil. The following may be TAX

FARMERS COLUMN.


The Net0 England Farmer replies to the
inquiries of correspondent, when is the
proper time to skim milk, and whether it is
always desirable to remove the cream while
the milk is sweet Now, this is difficult
question to answer in a few words, partly
because there are so many other conditions
connected with butter-making all of which
may have an important bearing on the ques-
ton. Under certain conditions we would
prefer to have cream sour when taken from
the milk, or certainly very soon afterward.
There is probably no month in the year
when dairymen are so much annoyed by
bad behavior IN cream as in November, and
at n time too, when the milk may be kept
mn indefinite length oftime without souring.
We might answer that when the milk in
clines to keep sweet for a long time, we
would prefer to have the conditions changed
80 that it should sour, and when it sours
too readily, we should endoavor to keep it
sweet. In July and August milk set in
open pans without ice, and in a warm room
lICllltS " e'uI luV SVOu1 bSAOAS NuS Ni'"'''
has time to raise completely. At this time
we should change the conditions so that it
should keep sweet longer. In cold weather
the cream rises so slowly that it often be-
comes bitter in the pans. Here more heat
is wanted, even though it tends to sour the
milk So we would say in cold weather
keep the milk where it will tend to grow
sour in forty-eight hours, and in hot wealth
er keep it from souring in less than twenty
four hours.
We prefer to have milk that is set in open
pans ready to skim in from twenty-lour to
thirty-six hours, the year round, and just
ready to sour when the cream is removed
but not really sour, nor thick, like curdled
milk. We prefer to have the cream slightly
acid when il goes into the churn, SIMMER

HULsE, THE RAPIsT.
Motion to Have the Trial in Another County.

The case of Harry Hulse, who is now on
trial for raping the six-year-old girl, Hattie
Hoberg, in Millcreek Bottoms on the 18th

poor little victim Hattie was sitting in the
room.
Mr. Willard Milligan, counsel for the de-
fendant renewed his motion for change

had stated to him that they did not believe
this county, but they refused to make an
affidavit to that effect for the reason that
they did not desire to lend their assistance
to this defendant to escape punishment.
Mr.. Drew said if the motion was to send
Hulse for trial over to Newport he would
not object.
The Court said II the witnesses refuse To
go before notary public and make aft

Their Fiftieth Anniversary.

Fifty years ago yesterday the Cincinnati
Insurance Company met and elected their
first officers and board Of directors and to-
day, in commemoration of their half CEN
tury of activity and usefulness they held
pleasant little anniversary reunion at their
cheerful offices on Third street.
The Cincinnati Insurance Company was
chartered February 7th, 1929 the incorpo-
rators being Elisha Brigham, Michael P.
Cassidy William S. Hatch, Charles W. Gaz-
zam, John w. Mason and William oliver.

only one that still survives. The reputa-
ton of the company has always been un-

The losses paid in the fifty years amount
ed to 81 636, 3l3 50, and the dividends paid
in the same time to $9S2, 037 23, an average

FORTY FOOLS.
A Great Gang of Green GaWkies Going
Round Gilm0re's Garden.

New York, April 14-Three thousand
people went to Gilmores Garden last night
to see thirty-sx greenhorns and four walk
ers set out on the first mile of what must be
1876 mile walk in six days, for which each of
them is to get back his entrance money and
one hundred dollars cash.
The pedestrians started at one o'clock
this morning. Tobacco smoke and music,
both of the worst quality, filled the air,
and the crowd was just such as collects at
any Sunday night sacred concert. The men
came to the starting point in forty different
costumes, long and short fat and lean, and
of dozen different nationalities. They
set off from seven starting points, Howard
in the first rank on run. He led on the
first lap around, with Brien second, and
Bradie third. Howard made his first mile
in nine minutes and twenty three seconds,
with o. Brien still close behind. The crowd
laughed heartily at the strange antics cut
by some of the men on the track, while
Bradie, the newsboy, went round in circle
of applause.
AT noon to-day the score of the leading
pedestrians was as follows:
Panchot 81 miles; Fletchroft 53 Nc,
Ever, So; Merritto, 81; Raine, 81.
