STRAWBERRIES.
How and When to Set--A Good Tool
the Rurnose.

How and When to Set-A Good Tool for
the Purpose.
Strawberry plants may be set every
month in the year, and a crop secured
the following season. The usual time,
however, at the North is during April
and May, on sandy soils, and at the
South paintings are made in the autumn
and thus better growth secured the
following year.
The earlier plants are set In the
spring, the better the growth secured
provided every thing is favorable. The
strawberry plant has great vitality, and
during favorable we ather have known
plants to strike root and grow where the
workmen had dropped them by mistake.

The expense of this trellis is no greater
than for poles, where both have to be
purchased. If your own woods yield the

introduced last year, as it comes in ear
lier than the tall kind, and believe
can be grown and sold Just as cheaply
and more readily than the common shell
beans, as, If smaller than the true lima,
they are still larger than the ordi-
nary bean, while having the true lima
flavor.
Another point worthy of note is the
matter picking these beans,-asi in
this one thing lies large share of the
profit. A common error noticeable on
our market is. that most of the limas
offered were picked too young; not
pod should be taken from the vine until
1t has begun to assume decided yell
low tinge and feels somewhat limp to
the touch while the beans stand out
quite prominently. In this condition
the beans are at their best for market
ing in the green state, as before this
point is reached they have not attained
their full growth, and after this stage
they diminish in size as they become
ripe. A few days difference in the time
of picking will make nearly half diff
ference in the quantity of shelled beans
furnished by certain number of pods,
and herein lies the shrewd market
mans profit. 1t will require from ten
to twelve quarts of seed to plant an
acre according to the above method. -

Heads II Disposed or
Many people are constantly wonder
ing where all the hair cut from human
heads In Chicago barbar-sheps goes to.
An Evening News reporter interviewed
one Of the down town BARRIERS about the
mystery.
Where does all this hair go TOP" re-
peated the expert manipulation OF the
razor and scissors, as he tucked a white
apron under the chin Of the reporter.
I'VE used to have great deal Of trouble
getting rid Of it but now we've got mat
ters simplified SO thatit is no trouble
to us at all Every evening we take
the hair that has accumulated during
the day and, mixing itwith dust and
saw-dust, so it will be easy to handle and
not7blow all away, dump it into little
sheet-iron box that stands in the alley
In the rear OF our shop. We average
about bushel of hair a day, the prod
net OF seven chairs busy all OF the time.
and guess we cut about as much hair
as any one does downtown. We pay
the scavenger who carts the hair away
isficd. Formerly some Of. the shops
dumped their hair into the river, but
the health authorities soon put a stor
to this. We can not burn the hair as il
makes such a terrible odor, and tell
you il it wasn't for the scayenger don't
know what we would do"
Gould not the hair be used in mixing
With mortar?'
ut is too much trouble to sort it.
Human hair is the best for that purpose,
but it is a fearful job to sort it out. You
see. some of it is longer than the kind
needed, and some too short, and the
mortar men think it's more trouble than
the stuff Is worth TO sort it out
by the way, ! notice that spring is
here. In few days you will see the
shops crowded with men anxious to gel
rid Of their winters groMth@ef beard.
Some men grow boards because they
think it makes them took younger, but
as soon as they notice slight tinge oil
gray in the hair they instantly have il
cropped off. guess they don't care to
be reminded that they are growing old.
There is a ira yelit,g salesman who comes
in here that had a beard twenty three
inches long. He could grow one -four
feet long II he cared to. But the sough,
ing wind was so fond Of lingering around
and blowing through his whiskersfthat
he cut them off himself Men who
have spare checks should either wear
! a beard or mutton-chops. II some who
wear them cut them off YOU couldn't
identify them, even If you knew them,
it makes such change in their appear.
