Burning Over Strawberry Beds.

We have for five seasons tried burn
ing over the old strawberry patches
which we wished to have bear another
crop, and like the method so well that
we shall follow this plan exclusively
in the future. think the plants begin
to grow again sooner, and are more Wig
orous and healthy for the burning.
The fire in some way or other causes
the soil to mellow up and hold moist
ure much better, where it has become
hard from being tramped over by pick
ers. Weed seeds and insects at the
surface will destroyed and nearly every
weed will succumb, while only here and
there will a strawberry plant be killed.
In 1888 we had patch which burned,
spotted" on account of old, half-rotted
straw being used for mulch. Wher-
ever the fire reached. the plants grew
beautifully and were free from grubs.
1t is also claimed that burning tends to
cure and prevent rust or leaf blight, but
1 can not speak from experience as to
this. A valuable advantage gained by
burning is that the patch will not need
any work-except to run between the
rows with the cultivator-for four or
six weeks after their baptism of fire. "
They can then be carefully hoed, and
the job with us has never been more
than half as hard as when we did not
burn.-B. F. Engle, in Popular Garden

be ironed. In almost every laundry in
the city to-day shirts are still ironed in
the old-fashioned way, by hand, though
shirt-ironing machines have been in
vented. But the collars and cuffs are all
ironed now by machines in the laun-
dries. A hollow cylinder of steel, heat
ed from the inside, revolving both on
it's axis and backward and forward, is
made to pass over the linen again and
again. The collars and cuffs rest dur
ing this operation on many thicknesses
of felt, which serves as an excellent bed
for them.
Finally the cuffs are placed upon a
half-revolving cylinder which turns
them into proper shape, while a similar
machine exercises q similar function as
regards the collars. In turning the
collars great care has to be taken not to
crack the seams. In order that this
may be avoided the seams had to be
slightly dampened. Up to within few
months this operation of dampening the
seams had to be done by hand, but ar
ingenious continuance just invented &C
complishes this mechanically.
At last all pieces of the ''lot'' are
again taken to the assorter. They get
to the assorter at different times, Of
course, some of the pieces getting done
quicker than the others. But the as
sorter, as soon as he gets the first piece
at once begins his work Of making up

goods as much, either. May be you don't
believe that, but it's so. Nowhere in
the whole modern laundry process are
goods subjected to any such wearing
and rasping treatment as the old style
of rubbing them on a wash-board with
the hands. people really don't know
how we do up clothes at ALL"
The increase in the laundry business
has not only been rapid, but it has
created large establishments for the
manufacture of laundry supplies and
machines used in the laundry business.
These machines, many of them, are
costly, and they are, all of them, in
genious labor-saving contfivances.
Pictures of some of the principal ma
chimes used in the business are here
given, and their use illustrates pretty
we'll the modern laundry process.
The laundry receiving depots where
goods can be left to be called for,' to
which allusion has been made, are most
ly those connected with the big steam
laundry establishments. These depots
are scattered in all sorts of places all
over the city. The favorite places the
laundrymen select are gentlemen's fur
nishing stores. The packages of goods
to be laundered are left at these places
and taken up by the laundry delivery
wagons. The wagons bring the pack
ages back to the depot when the laun-
drying 10 completed, and the owners
call and get them. The delivery wag-
ons also call at the homes of the regu-
lar customers of the laundries. Each
laundry keeps book containing the
names of its regular customers and the
day and the hour at which each custom
er wants 'his laundry called for. Each
drivea Of each delivery wagon has, of
couIse, his regular daily route. The
laundries. Will, as rule, call for and de-
liver goods all over the city to regular
customers. Some of the big laundries
have several sets of deliveries" one
set of delivery wagons for such por-
ton of the city and one set for another
the different sets not all reporting at
a central branch, but having centers of
their own, which, in turn, communicate
with the main offices.
When the package of goods to be
crashed finally gets into the laundry the
eperson who receives it-whO is usually a
good-loOking young woman writes
plainly on it the name and address OF
the person to whom it belongs, as well
as the time when it must be ''done'-ii
such time is specified she also makes
out the ticket" which contains the
list and number of the different articles
in the package. If no time for the work
is specified by the customer-and none
usually is - the person leaving the
laundry ought to expect to get it agair
in three days. that being the time il
which laundry work is usually ''done'
by the first-class shops. The package.

THE SMYSER SCANDAL

An Eye-Wftness' Account of 3 Disgrace
full Chapter In the Raum Case.
Representative Smyser, of Ohio. who.
several weeks ago, was appointed a
member of the special committee to in
vestigate the management of the Pen
sion Bureau under Commissioner Raum,
rose in his place and admitted that
while sitting in Judgment upon the
Commissioner he was himself financial
1y interested in the chief scheme, by
the aid of which, it has been alleged,
Raum has been able to swindle the
clerks in his employ and defraud the
Government Of services which should
have been devoted exclusively to official
duties.
The charge and the confession pro-
duced a genuine sensation, but the
spectacle that followed was even more
remarkable. Smyser attempted justi-
fcation amid the groans and Kisses of
his colleagues on both sides of the
chamber. and sat down without with
drawing from the committee. He would
doubtless still be member of it but for
the action OF Representative Morrill,, of
Kansas, chairman of the special COM
mittee and political associate OF Mr..
Smyser. Mr.. Morrill, rose in his seat
and poin tedly suggested to the reluctant
Ohloan the propriety of resigning. The
episode was decidedly edifying, and the
reflection upon Speaker Reed was SO
strong that be fastened to disavow any
knowledge of Smyser's connection with
the Raum enterprises.
Representative Cooper, of Indiana, to
~hom credit is due for whatever light
the Republican majority of the Raum
committee permits to be shed on the
recent management of the Pension
Office, sprang the mine that carried Mr..
Smyser off his feet Rising to a ques-
ton of personal privilege, he called at
tention to the fact that one of the
charges made in the resolution offered
by him for the investigation of the Com
missioner of Pensions was that the
Commissioner was selling stock in a
refrigerator company to employees OF
the Pension Office. II have in vain

stock holders in the concern" said he.

mittee, and directing the Speaker tc

It was plain Mr.. Smyser would not

stalls running across the barn. Each has its
special advantages.
AS cattle generally thrive rather better on
tepid than on ice-cold water. it is well where
practicable to bring the drinking supply from a
spring, under ground, and into the stables at a
temperature of 20 degrees or more above the
freezing water in open streams.
Long barns may have a floor passage through
the whole length and with double doors at each
end. the passage being just wide enough for
loads. which may thus be unloaded at any part.
Platforms poles over this floor will utilize
the space above.
AS general rule farmers never get room
enough in their barns, usually from want of q
full previous estimate of capacity. They
should, therefore, ascertain nearly as prac-
ticable what they will probably want to store
under shelter of all the products of the farm, in
addition to the space for domestic animals and
for tools and machinery.
Allow ska feet for each horse, 4x12 feet for
each COW, 20 feet square or more for tools and
machinery, twice this space for silo. 800 cubic

PLANTING AN ORCHARD.
A Farmer Who Thinks It Should Re Done
In the Fall.


Farmer Who Thinks It should he Done
In the Fall.
There are few investments that pay
better than those put in orchards when
properly planted and subsequently Gull
tivated and managed as they should be.
In starting an orchard, great care should
be taken in selecting and planting. I
notice some farmers in planting out
fruit trees select the largest tree, think
ing thereby to get fruit sooner. But I
prefer small tree. Their roots are
smaller. will strike quicker in the soil
and not receive such a check from trans
planting. Small trees may nor bear as
early but when they do bear their fruit
will be finer. You can train them bet
ter and make better and more profit
able orchard.
l prefer planting in the fall. for at
this season of the year the sap has
ceased to flow, the condition of the at
mosphere is favorable for rest, and the
top has ceased to draw nourishment
from the roots. In taking up the tree
the roots are cut, and are the same as
| cuttings. A cutting requires first to be
rooted; the soil being warmer than the
air above induces the roots to throw out
little fibrous roots for feeders ready es-
tablished to support the top in the
spring. But if planted in the spring
the soil is cooler than the air above
causing the roots to lie dormant while
the top is stimulated to growth.
In setting, some farmers dig holes
about twenty inches square and about
as deep. This is done some three or
four weeks before setting the tree.
They haul mold from the woods and
place in at the bottom: then set the tree
| on this deeper than it was in the nurs-
cry, and filled with any soil conven-
| lent. I have noticed that trees set in
this way would live a few years and
then seem as if they were diseased and
die. 1 have examined some of them.
| The roots never penetrated the hard
baked sides of the hole dug for them,
and seemed to have grown but little.
The most successful way of setting, ac-
cording to my experience, IS to make an
excavation large enough to set the tree
with it's roots straight and we'll placed.
and no deeper than it grew in the nurs-
! cry, and soil placed around the roots
| until raised above the level of the
surface.
In arranging an orchard each variety
| should be set in rows together for con-
venience in gathering. The early va
rieties should be set nearest the house
as they are used mostly for drying and
for family use. I plant apple trees from
thirty to forty feet apart-(forty feet
each way I think best where land is
plenty), with peach tree or some other
quick-growing tree in the middle of the
space between the apple trees Thus
the ground is all occupied and will soon
be giving a profit. When the apple
trees require all the room the peach
trees have gone through their prime
and can be cut out. Close planting pre-
vents the trees from receiving the
requisite quantity Of sun and the free
circulation of air, both of which are
essential to the size. flavor and perfec-
ton of fruit.-Ohio Farmer.
