Strawberries.

A writer for the Farmers voice says /:
Be sure and set out strawberry bed.
take good care of it; keep all weeds
down; runners cut off; give it good
covering of straw as soon as freezing
weather comes and see what big ber-
ries we can have for home use. We
bought our young plants from nur-
sery man, but if youget bed of old
plauts you can start runners yourself.
Let only few start from each plant
and keep all others cut off. 1t is a
good time now to start them. Large
thifty plants taken up in August and
transplanted into deeply dug bed OF
good soil, cared for as above, will bear
a fair crop of berries next june. Our
bed so planted last summer has yielded
berries so large that twenty-five filed
a quart basket, and fifty was fair
average. Another bed planted a year
before has borne more berries and
fully as large. The straw mulch was
left on, so they were late the first pick
ing June 81 and many now to pick.

High Blowing.

Thurston t. Smith, Detroit, Mich,
has a saddle horse that is in every way
perfect in his estimation, except one
"He has strange fashion, or disease,
of Topping his nostrils at gallop.
His health and spirits seem perfect.
Can it be cured" 1t is probable that
the horse has large, thin nostrils, and
this is an evidence of good lungs and
good wind. If the annoyance is of
sufficient consequence, get pair OF
stiff rubber rings, large enough to fit
and remain in the nostIils. They
should be light, and if the rings are
filled with air, they will be better.
But rubber sometimes chafes the nos
tril, i'll which case it should be COW
cred with thin kid or bladder. This
should be cleansed when removed 50
as not to irritate or annoy the horse.
After being used for few times, the
annoyance will cease. 1t is possible
that spraying the uostrils with a solu-
ton Of ferric alum, ten grains to an
ounce of water, may remedy the diff
Guilty without resort to the rings. The
rings will, however, remove the an
noyance. 1t is sometimes a mere
habit of the horSe.-American Agri-
culturist. ...

AMERICAN PROTECTION.
The Mckinley Bill an Error Of Judg
ment.

M. Triad, formerly French Minister
of Finance, in an interview on the
subject of the negotiations for a COM
mercial treaty between France and
the United States, said Treaties of
this kind are useful as modus vi
vendi between countries where tariffs
are SO high that they paralyze trade.
A treaty with the United States will
be extremely opportune, and will GO a
long way to secure our enthusiastic
participation in the Chicago Fair.
The Mckinley law has SO harmed
our trade that / would favor going to
the United States for staples when it
is impossible to obtain what we need
elsewhere. The Mckinley admins
trative bill is barbarious piece of
legislation and has caused great ILL
feeling in France. The whole Nc
Kinley law is due to an error of judg-
ment. The Americans argued that as
their exports are natural products
that other nations must have, they
would be sure to find buyers, and SO
they could shut their ports to foreign
manufacturers. This reasoning is
fallacious. The population Of the
United States might easily increase to
four times the present figure in
twenty years. In that case America
would become still greater exporting
country. Look how England has de-
veloped since she adopted free trade.
If the United States we're to adopt a
like policy America would soon gov
ern the markets of the world. By fol-
lowing the policy of prohibitory pro-
lection she restricts the future to the
limits of home consumption. In
France, where it is impossible to de-
velop resources any further, there
may be some some excuse for protec-
ton, but not so in America, where the
possibilities of development are un-
bounded"

While Postmaster j. A. Ralnley, OF
Edgefield, Junction, near Nashville,
Tenn, was sitting in the postoffice,
Jesse Bloodworth, a youth of the vi
cinity, entered and asked for his mail.
He was told he had none. This
seemed to anger him, and he left NUT

returned, and with a large knife
walked up to Ramly, who was quietly
reading and did not notice his APP
proach, and violently attacked him
cutting him very severely in numer-
Gus places.

1t is very good rule to sell a sur
plus of anything whenever a good
price is offered. Holding farm pro-
ducts or fat stock for higher price
when fair price is offered is an ex-
ceedingly hazardous business.

The celebrated expression, "politics
is hell'' applies with peculiar force TO
the situation in Minnesota. There are
five State tickets in the field, with the
Farmers Alliance loose and trying to
fuse with one of the four in order to
defeat the Peoples Party standard
bearers. The farmers are highly dis
pleased because the "Populists" chose
Ignatius Donnelly as their nominee
for Governor. The Alliance men be-
lieve they have been snubbed in the
matter, and are determined to admin
lister rebuke to the new party in
that State.-[Louisville Post.

AS a passenger train on the Chicago

ing the SiXty-seventh street crossing,
Chicago, a boy four years of age ran
out upon the track. He paid no at

A Serious Shortage in Corn.

The area under corn is five per
cent less than last year, but the reduc-
is not equally distributed. 1t has
mainly been confined to the great
corn-producing regions of the Ohio,
Upper Mississippi, and Missouri val
leys. In these districts the failing off
is much heavier than above stated,
Ohio having only 80 per cent as much
land in corn as last year, Indiana "a
Illinois 81, Iowa ST, Missouri So,
Kansas 80 and Nebraska 81. The av-
erage of these seven great corn sur
plus States is 80, reduction of II per
cent.
This decrease has been in a meas
ure offset by an increased acreage in
the South, where a portion Of last
years cotton breadth has been given
to corn. In the eleven cotton States
the present corn acreage, compared
with that of last year, is 1915. This
makes large increase in the aggre-
gate area of that section, but the
yield per acre in the surplus States,
where the area is reduced, was 1913
bushels last year, against only 1913
bushels per acre in the South where

GOOD ROADS.

Every citizen OF Virginia who de.
sires to see this State enjoy the bless
ings of good highways will be interested
in the report on this subject presented
and discussed at the meeting of the
Engineers Association OF Virginia yes
terday, and printed in THE TIMES this
morning.
Good roads and how to get them has
been the subject of many editorials
during the past two years, and the press
of the State welcomes the recruits that
arc coming from the ranks of practical
engineers in the battle for public
sentiments that will demand and create
system Of highways commensurate
with the general development of the
resources Of this great State.
In the report referred to there are
some valuable suggestions which the
Legislators OF the State might consider
with profit TO their constituency. This
is matter for the STATE to take hold
of with vigor and the sooner the better.
If the farmers of Virginia would con-
slider what they lose every year be-
cause of impossible roads and how much
cold cash coed highways would put into
their pockets every year, tangible re-
suits in what is now an uphill business
would not be slow in coming
