Brother Gardner's Advice to Trustee
PuIlback.

ssAm Trustee Pullback in de Hall to-.
night?" asked the President of the Lime.
Kiln Club as the band ceased singing,
and window was lowered to let the
smoke escape.
ssHe air, sah,'' was the prompt re-
sponse as Brother Pullback rose Off his
stool.
ssPlease step dis way.''
When the tall form and shining pate
of the member had toed the mark be-
fore the desk, Brother Gardner con-
tinued
ssBrudder Pullback, I has received a

"A curious problem has suggested
itself in Winnepeg. There are about
GOO cows in and around the city, and
these produce 1900 gallons of milk per
day. Yet 1900 gallons of milk are sold.
The question is, how do the milkmen
perform the miracle of selling 1900 gal
Ions of milk out of the 1,2o0 they get
from the cows? The answer is said to
be, sschalk, lime, saIt, and Red kivey
water. ."-C Chicago Herald.

How to Raise Strawberries.

One very important principle is often
overlooked by the cultivator. 1t is that
the production of the seed or fruit is a
very exhausting process. When a man
buys a tree from the nursery and it
bears half dozen samples of fruit
tIle first year. it stops. its growth just
about one year. Hence, until a tree
gets good growth il should not be al
lowed to bear Trees that are growing
rapidly do not bear, and if a tree is
bearing at all, it is to the detriment Of
She growth,
A strawberry plant usually bears a
crop or fruit and also produces new
vines. Now, if the blossoms of those
plants fraDl which we want to raise new
plants are cut off in season, the whole
strength goes into the new plants, and
ane thousand runners grown from plants
that are not allowed to fruit are worth
more than five thousand grown from
plants that bore fruit at the same time.
Old plants are worth nothing-new
plants from an old bed are worth moth
ING. The only plants worth using are
not allowed to fruit. The true way to
raise straw berries is to get young plants
Aof this description and not allow them
10 fruit the first year. They will throw
osit plenty Of strong, vigorous runners.
and the next season before bearing take
a part of these TO make new bed. A
aew bed should be made every year.
When we plant in the spring we should
get no fruit the same year. The next
year we get the largest crop we ever get.
The vines can stand and bear a partial
crop the next season, or be plowed un-
der us soon as the crop is gathered.
j like best to raise one full crop and
only one. 1t is less labor to make new
he'd than to clean UP an old one. 1t is
very little labor to plant an acre of
strawberries il properly done, and no
otber crop pays SO well. The only diff
estlty is to get the right kind of plants,
but every man can raise the plants him
self in this way. Strawberries will do
well on any land that viii raise good
ssorn. 81 Cor. Prairie Farmer.

The subject of our next municipal
election is now becoming the topic Of
considerable curb-stoae discussion
Those citizens who ought to take an
active part ia such matters, because
of their interest in the welfare of our
.citv. and in the selection Of officers
Who will give us a good municipal
government, are, SO far, holding
aloof. while the street bravlers, with
axes IL grind, are conspicuous on
every corner, in arranging the tick
cto which is to become their choice,
and subserye their purposes.
We hear, indeed, that some per-
sons are urging themselves forward
TO places for which they are utterly
sudt; that they are making combi-
nations to control the elections, and
b-.ny about result that will
not reflect any credit upon the city
in any respect
We take the position that our BEST
citizens Of both parties owe it to
themselves, aud to the interests of
OH, city, that fl and proper persons
any should be elected to fill the va
rious Offices in our city government.
Both parties viii soon call their
conventions to make nominations for
Mayor, C9uncilnen, 81. 1t is their
6ury to nominate their best mea for
these positions. The citizens, in their
action in this matter, should act with
tho same circurspectian, care and
good Judgment that they would exer
e.se were they selecting an agent tC
attend to their immediate personal
concerns.
