Strawberries for Seed.

There are probably but few growers of
the strawberry who have not been the vic
tins of the tree agent or a well-written
advertisement extolling the merits of
this or that 'best berry IN the world" A
few years ago, at our country fair, some
very large berries were on exhibition.
''They We're new, not on the market" but
''to oblige," etc.. the exhibitor ''would sell
few at So per Dozen" A year later there
wasn't one of them who wouldn't sell the
stock at So per 1000.
Thinking what one could do another
might, selected half dozen of the fin
est berries, and started to raise new var
! let1es, and the next year / had seventy
i've seedlings to plant out. The result
was that ten were good, four very good,
and some medium. Of these seedlings 7
still have three.
At the next years fair E. p. Roe had a
very fine exhibit. Thinking as the fruit
was from his trial grounds, there was a
better chance for Decentralization, Sc
lected those having the most desirable
characteristics. Result: $50 plants. and
none really poor. At least fifty were very
good,whlch continued to grow, dropping
some each year until / now have fifteen
kinds. They have always had common
care, such as the average grower would
give to acres, as [ determined they should
stand on their own behavior l have
planted many leading varieties under the
same treatment, and have a pride in see
ing the new surpass the old.
The winter before last was very hard
on unprotected berries. With US, Sharp
less, Bidwell, Atlantic, Prince and Warren
were all surpassed in hardness by my
own seedlings.
all growers to raise each year few seed
lings. Any one who has intelligence
enough to grow an acre of strawberries
has enough to raise his own plants from
seeds. My advice is, get dozen varie-
ties of the best kinds for your locality,
plant them close, care for them well, Sc
lect the best fruit of each kind, plant the
seed mixed in sand in shallow box, fill
nearly to the top with good soil. When
the plants have rough leaves, prick out
fore room, winter in a cold frame, or I'M
der covering of evergreen boughs. In
the spring, when you plant for your crop,
plant row of the seedlings throughout
the center. You will get enough fruit to
pay for all the work done, and the
chances are good that there will be some
very choice sorts. You have the advan-
tage of an experiment with 100 or more
varieties at once, that have cost you
nothing and will be more likely to give
satisfaction than kinds grown on soil en-
tirely different from yours, and stimulat-
ed to the fullest capacity of an ambitions
culturist or nurseryman.

Negro Mortality.
NJ VII Ts

The annual death rate of the colored
people in the cities of this country, and
especially in Southern cities, has been
much larger than the death rates of the
whites, the ratio in Washington for
several years having been nearly 2 to l..
But reports from Savannah, published by
the New Orleans Times Democrat, indi-
cate that the colored death rate in that
city has been alarmingly large, and far
greater than any rate heretofore noted
there in the absence of an epidemic.
While the rate for the white people is
said to have been only 1919, that
for the colored people is said to have
been only 1924, and the rate for color
ed childred under 5 years is reported to
have been 6O1.93 per 1000. This seems
incredible. If, however, the figures are
correct, the white residents of Savannah
have not done their duty by their black
fellow citizens. Such an enormous NOR
tality must be the result of neglect, want
of medical attendance, lack of food and
care, and total failure on the part of the
city authorities to enforce ordinary sani-
tary regulations.

The Farm Breed.
From the Rural New Yorker.

Is the best farm COW contained In the
ranks of any of the present breeds of cat
tie? many farmers are asking themselves
this question. Breeders who desire to
sell stock for breeding purposes, thus Sc
curing price beyond what animals would
bring at the block, or milk into the pail,
are quick to answer Eyes" Farmers who
have no desire to sell breeding stock are
by no means certain. There is no use in
denying the fact that farmers with small
herds of cattle are still enclined to hunt
for that much desired animal the general
purpose cow" The tendency is to breed
for special purposes, and no pure-breed
animal can ever completely fill the place
of "Jack of all trades" No skillful
breeder can put beef on the Jersey and
retain the little cows wonderful butter
record, and there will always be "a great
gulf fixed" between accessive milk pro-
duction and accessive beef production.
Can the desired result be more nearly OBJ
tanned through high grades of cross-bred
animals? For all practical purposes a
good high grade Jersey is as valuable as
the average thoroughbred. Her price
will be measured solely by the number of
pounds of butter she can make, and for
men who have no desire to speculate in
pedigrees or sell breeding stock, this
basis will be satisfactory enough. Gross
breeding is being more generally practiced
than ever before. There are several herds
in the country, in which this practice has
been followed Systematically, where the
characteristics of what may be called a
new breed have been developed. The off
spring of Jersey bull and grade short
horn COW has given excellent results in
many instances, while calves from Hol-
land bull out of a grade Devon or short
horn COWS are reported excellent for
cheese diaries. The farmer who will drive
his COWS by thoroughbred bull for the
purpose of patronizing scrub at small
price is foolish but he is far from wise to
buy thoroughbred COWS unless he can
afford extra time for rearing, advertising
and selling his calves. If he wants
general purpose" COW he will be apt to
find the best animal for his purpose IN
the offspring of a thoroughbred bull Of one
of the daiary breeds and a high-grade beef

ONLY A WCMAN'S HEART.
HELEN A. MANyILLE,

Only a woman's heart, whereon
You have trod in your careless haste:
A thing at best that was easy won;
What matters how drear waste
her life may be in the future years?
What matters it? Do not start
1t is only the sound OF dropping tears
AS wrung from a womanS heart.
'Tfs of little worth, for 1t cost you naught
But honeyed word and a smile,
Was the fault not hers if she blindly thought
You were truer than truth the while?
What il the seeds of life long woe
From its broken shrine upstart?
What does it matter to you? You know
1t is only woman's heart.
Only heart to be thrown away
With the recklessness that boy
Who careless of pleasure and weary or play,
Would throw down broken toy.
The world is fair and the world is wide,
And there's more in its busy mart
Conscience you know you have put aside;
1t is only a woman's heart.
But powerless is your boosted will
To vanguish the ghost of sin.
1t has spoken oft and it whispers still
Your souls dark chambers in;
In the drama of one life you know
You have acted the villains part,
For you struck hard, cruel blow,
And it fell on a woman's heart.
Only woman's heart, ali, well!
Ills little trow, to you
Whether that heart was as false as hell,
Or as heaven itself as true,
You may hug the thought to your selfisi
breast
That GU re skilled in deception's art;
But | brand you thief, for the peace and rest
That you stole from woman's heart.

Cyclones and T0rnadOeS.

A son of Erin was imparting wisdom
to group of idlers this morning as they
watched the storm in the sky, and took
occasion to silence one of his audience,
who called it a cyclone, thus:
"Gowan now! It's no cyclone, but a
bit of tornady. Whisht, now, an I'll
give ye the difference betune the two O.

It's loike what man said was the differ

Manure from the Pasture.
Farm, Field and Stockman.

When the cattle are turned upon the
pasture, and the area devoted to that pur-
pose is considerable, there is a large
amount of manure dropped daily, al
though in looking over the field the GUAM
tity appears very insignificant. The
question may properly be asked if farm
ers do not make & mistake in allowing
such drOppings to remain on the field.
There is quite loss of the valuable por-
tiOn-amm onia-in q few hours, and the
suppositiOn that the soil absorbs the val
liable constituents is true only when the
manure and soil are intermingled. We
admit that the drOppings on the pasture
field enrich the soil to certain extent,
but we believe it would pay every farmer
to go over his field daily with a wagon
and collect the droppings, hauling them
to the manure heap, there to be properly
composted and mixed with absorbents.
When the droppings are left in the field
the manure is unevenly distributed, the
grass having the appearance of growing
in tussocks, while in some cases the grass
is completely destroyed. If calculation
could be made of the quantity of manure
dropped in a field by fifty COWS in one
year it would be probably equal to all
that is produced in the barnyard, yet its
effect on the pasture is not equal to that
which would be produced if the whole
quantity Of manure at the barnyard was
applied. The reason is very apparent
The manure at the barnyard is properly
cared for, while that on the pasture is ex-
posed to evaporation by dry winds and
the escape of volatile matters through
the influence of the heat of the sun.

The same care in the selection of seed
should be made as with the other plants.
Productiveness, maturity and form are
fully as important as size. All plants in
tended to produce seed for another sea
sons crop should not only be selected, but
planted away from other varieties. Sweet
corn growing in the neighborhood of field
corn will be ruined for seed the succeed
ing year.

Harvest Months.
Rural Press,

It is an Interesting fact that wheat
growing has now become so widely ex-
tended over the surface of the earth that
the moon never fails to find a ripe field
to shine upon. When the growth of this
grain was largely confined to one latitude
the regular occurrence of the ''harvest
moon" was considered by some special
arrangement to lengthen the day for the
hurried reapers. AS now grain is falling
somewhere every month of the year,
many must have to get along without this
helpful phenomenon. No doubt state
ment of the continual harvesting, and the
time when different countries accomplish
their ingathering, will be of general in
terest. We find the following in an ex-
change:
at is harvest in January, for Australia,
New Zealand, Chilli and Argentine; Febru-
airy and March for East India and Upper
Egypt; April for Lower Egypt, Syria, Cy-
prus, Persia, Asia Minor, India, Mexico
and Cuba; May for Algeria, Central Asia,
China Japan, Morocco Texas and Florida;
June for Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain,
Portugal, South of France, California,

THE NOMINATIONS

Governor Murray has sent to the Coun-
Gil, for confirmation, the name OF Mr..
Farley L. Williams to be Territorial Su-
perintendent of Public Schools; that of
Mr.. Bolivar Roberts to be Territorial
Treasurer, and that OF Mr.. Arthur Pratt
to be Auditor of Public Accounts. The
gentlemen SO nominated are well quail
fled to discharge the duties OF the offices
to which they have been named, and We
trust they will receive the confirmation OF
the Council. The gentlemen whose
names have been sent to the Council are
not in sympathy, politically, with the
Council, but if they are fit sand proper
persons to fill the offices the
Council should confirm them, un-
less there are valid objections
to them. That there are no objections to
them personally either as to character OF
capacity will be granted by all, and the
only ones that can be made to them are
OF purely political nature. These should
not weigh with the Council, and if they
do, the Council will assume towards the
Governor of Utah the same attitude
that the Republican Senate al
Washington has assumed towards
the President. 1t is somewhat curious
coincidence that the Republican Gov
ernor of Utah should find himself con,
fronted with the same difficulties, raised
by the Mormon Legislature OF Utah, that
a Democratic President of the United
States has to confront from Republican
Senate. There is some little difference
in the two cases, but this does not mate
rally change the case. The Council
in Utah deny, or rather have in past
years, that the Governor has the right to
nominate certain Offices, the Council
claiming the right to make the appoint
ments independently OF the Governor
The Governor relies upon the Organi,
Act for his right, but the right upon
which he bases his claim says that his
appointments shall be with the advice
and consent of the Council. Whether al

TWO RUMoRs.

The Herald of this morning says there
is rumor in circulation to the effect that
the Governor will not sign any bills that
the Legislature may pass unless the Leg
islature will pass such bills as the Cover
nor desires. That is one rumor. An
other rumor is that if the Governor will
not approve the bills passed by the Leg
islature, the Legislature will refuse to
pass any appropriation bill. Whether
there is any truth in either OF these ru-
mors we do not know. If the ru-
mors are well founded, they do
not reflect any credit on the Gov
ernor or the Legislature. 1t must be
taken for granted that the Executive and
the Legislature of the Territory are not
mere lads quarrelling over their play. II
the Legislature pass just and needed
laws, the Governor should approve them
although the Legislature may refuse to
pass other just and needed laws. If the
Governor refuses to approve certain just
and proper laws, that is no reason why
the Legislature should refuse to make ap,
preparations to carry on the government
OF the Territory. Men may differ as to
the policy or impolicy OF enacting GER
tain laws, but this difference should
not extend to laws upon which they are
agreed, and they cannot plead that re-
fusal to do or not to do thing is a justi-
fication for refusing to do thing both
parties agree upon.
These two rumors Of which we speak
should be looked upon as mere rumors
until something more definite is known
concerning them, and we have merely
discussed them by way of illustration.
Rumors are not always well-founded, and
until they are pretty definitely traced to a
correct source, should be held to be idle.

way to utilize old scraps of silk, and it is
only the abuse of the crazy quilt that
causes dislike. A crazy quilt is prettier
without all the cross stitching, embroid-
cred blocks, pieces of looking-glass set in,
or any superfluous decoration. The
blocks OF silk simply patched together
with colors blending haImoniously are
enough to produce a pleasing effect. It
is the same with the crazy quilt as il is
with everything else in America. AS
