SrRA WBERRIEs ON THE FARM.

The catalogues are confusing with their
many varieties, old and now. For home use,
no new or untried kinds are worth taking as
gift; what we want is fruit and plenty of it.
Charles Downing, Bidwell, and Sharpless are
among the reliable kinds that have been
tested and may be planted with confidence
Having ordered the plants, prepare place
for them. The size of the bed will Of course
depend upon the number of plants, which are
to be two feet apart each way from one an
other, and two feet from the margins of the
bed. Make the soil rich with old, decom.
posed manure and sshes, to be worked in as
deep as possible by spading. When the
plants come, their roots should be shortened
or cut back to two-thirds or one half their for
mer length, and all the dead leaves removed.
In planting open wide hole with the hand,
and spreading the roots in all directions,
separating those that are matted, carefully
work the earth in among them, and having
covered them with earth press it firmly over
them. The plants will soon start into
growth, and new leaves open. 1t is probable
that clusters of flower buds will appear in
the center of some of the plants; if 80, pinch
them off as soon as they are seen, as we now
wish to raise plants and not fruit. AS the
season advances, runners will be formed,
and at length bud will appear upon the end
Of each and finally take root. If the runners
do not become fixed readily-as they are
often blown about by the winds-plsce clod
of earth upon them to hold them fast. After
! the plant from the first bud has grown to
some size, that will throw out runners, and
so on, all the season. The object being to
raise as many plants as possible, the runners
should be watched, and not allowed to inter.
fere with one another, but distributed even
" over the bed. If necessary water the bed,
and pull up by hand all weeds that appear.

IN MEMORIAM.

DIED.-At Union Grove, Thursday, March
18th, 1884, Hattie, daughter of Alfred and Huldah
E. GiddingS
She was born in Bristol January 81, 1875, max
ing her age years, month and 10 days. Tues
day she was full of life and activity, attending
school and going from house to house calling on
her sehool-mates after school in the evening
Wednesday morning she suffered from severe
attack of winter cholera, and on Thursday
morning her lifeless form was all that remained
to remind her friends of what she had been to
them.
Her vivacity and gentleness greatly endeared
her to her parents and schooI-mates and all
who knew her. Her body seemed too frail for
her mind, leaving her with but feeble hold upon
the material world, and as the event proved. she
had not strength to rally and resist the attack
of disease.
Shortly before she passed away she asked
her father to sing. She was fond of music, and
while about the house she had been in the habit
of hummlag the hymn " Come to Jesus" and
we can almost seem to hear the echo of her
voice repeating the words of the precious inyi-
tatlon. All were moved in deep sympathy with
the stricken family in their bereavement, and
many of their friends expressed their sympathy
by the beautiful and ftlydev1sed flo, al offerings
they brought which were gratefully received.
The funeral which was at the house, was
largely attended, her teachers and little school
mates sitting with the family around the bier.
After the services her body was taken to the
cemetery, at the Congregational church, on the
old Plank Road between Bristol and Paris, and
laid beside that of her little sister.

So soon why must she go?
And time must seem so slow,
While we must here remain,
And bear the sting of pain.
The Father takes his own,
His reasons are not known
Yet reason knows Him right,
Above our feeble sight.
His love we may not doubt,
Whose proofs are all about;
While mercy spares us still,
To win us to his will.
We yield to Him his own,
And ask of Him the loan
Of his great love TO cheer,
Until we all appear
At home with him above,
To share his open love,
And dwell forever where
We all his life may share.

CITY ELECTION.

The following is the vote on city officers
tt is as correct as we have been able to get
it:
The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1884-11-28

on father or mother; that he has not
received aims from the public funds
within twelve years; that he has paid all
municipal dues; that he occupies a house
or pursues u trade with two employees;
that he pays an income tax or class lax.
Under one or another of these five con
ditions all industrious persons in the
city are included. That all votes should
count equally are regarded as un-busi-
ness like. The arrangement adopted to
meet this point of view is this: Voters
are divided into three classes, each of
Which elect one third of the city coun-
Gil. To the first class are assigned so
many of the largest taxpayers as pay
one third of the taxes assessed; to the
second SO many as in the aggregate pay
the second third of the taxes; to the
third class belong all not included in
the first and second. Each of the two
classes elect forty-two members of the
council, its influence upon questions of
finance being kept in strict equality
with its tax payments. The city coun-
Gil of Berlin has long been conspicuous
for the educational and financial stand
ing Of its members. Election to it is
accounted an honor to which the ablest
men in the city aspire.
