Sum m er Care of Fruits

Curranss, gooseberries, raspberries and
strawberries can be grown most anywhere,
and yet comparatively few people have a
supply for home use. Many who have
planted them have not succeeded for one
cause or another; often because they have
set all plstilate plants. Pistilate plants
will not fruit when planted alone. If we
could destroy all but three or four of our
best varieties Of strawberries we could
double the production. Three years of
dry prairie summer following is the best
preparation for strawberry planting. The
earlier the plants are set in the spring the
better. Mulching between the rows with
fresh cut slough grass is the best check
against drouth. Cutting out the old canes
OF raspberrles as soon as the fruit is gath
cred seems to benefit the new canes. Pinch
IN the new canes as soon as they reach 8
feet high, as they produce better by this
treatment. | would like to ask how we
can enforce the truth that the old and well
tried sorts of small fruits, sold at reason
able prices, are the best to buy, rather
than the new and wonderful just discov-
cred ones? After 20 years experience
believe the sale of new varieties has done
more to reduce the interest in small fruit
culture than frost, drouth and biizzards
combined. &C. L. Smith.

A Berated Barbarism

Whatever excuses might be permitted
for hazing in other colleges there is no ex-
cuse for toleratlng this hoary and unc outh
nuisance in the military college at West
Point maintained and directed by the
United States government. There is no
excuse for it, for every instructor, off GER
and inmate of the school is directly under
the control and orders of the war depart
ment. Every instructor knows that the
brutality of hazing is as much a part of
the course as drill or tactics, and it could
not possibly go on without official tolera-
ton: Yet year otter year the general ear
Is offended with the wearisome repetition
of the same old stories of hazing, and
year after year the official reports and the
boards OF visitors evade the question and
give us himsy assurances that everything
is all right at West Point. It is painful
to think of this admirable Institution lag
ging behind the age and maintaining this
survival of barbarous past.

There are legions of farmers who do
not realize the fact that they use tons of
manure which is useless to plants until
late in the season, for no manure can be
appropriated by plants until it is des-
posed in the manure heap or after it mas
been applied on the field. There may be
portions of the manure soluble, especially
If the urine has been saved and absorbed,
but it may require two or three years for
the whole of the manure to change its
form, and as much depends also on the
composition of the manure as on the fer

only of what tue farmer has made it, the
kind of food used and the ages of his
stock, while the manner in which the
the manure is kept largely affects its

of the magnitude of the exhibition to be

worth a journey of a'thousand miles to

a mile and half in circuit. Those which
do not cover more than an acre and
quarter are deemed insignificant. And
the architectural value of the structure is
worthy of their size. 1t was often said a

The Monkey Voted: His Ticket Like Lit
In room of the hotel was Speaker
Crisp, some other congressman and some

Major Chatfee remarked:
Gentlemen, III bet that none eff you
ever saw a monkey vote ut regular state

There was general demand for the
story.

"1 gu all recollect how hot that campaign
was in South Carolina. 1t was the year of
the red shirts. TIE state was filed with
companies wearing that simple but signif
cant uniform. Nowhere was the cam paign
hotter than in our district In fact the
red shirt idea originated in that district.
Nearly every white man you'd meet wore
red shirt. When the election day came
the red shirts were out in force. One of
our company was the owner of big mon
key. He put red shirt on him, mounted
him on horse and brought him along for
amusement. About noon, when things
appeared to be going our way, and the
boys were In good tumor, the suggestion
was made to vote the monkey. It met
with Instant and uproarious app rotation.
We rode up in body to the polls of the

was a gentleman who wanted 10 vote.

judges. John Jocko, replied our spokes-

How TO use Fertilizers.

To mix either caustic lime or hardwood

almost destroy their fertilizing qualities
If you want to compost your hen manure
do it with much of any good, rich loan,

so fine that it can be readily handled and
distributed, either in the hill or in drills
Apply your ashes separate and alone in
the hill If you wish, and the lime broad
cast on the surface, but never in the hill
where it will come in direct contact with
the surface seed. Paris green will not dis
solve in water, and you cannot make a
solution of it for applyin to potatoes, but

small teaspoonful to three or four gallons,

FARM AND HOME
HIGHER AND LOWER
HARRIET WARNER BE QUA.

If you want to build higher, dig deeper,
The rock our foundation must be
If you stand in the swirl of the tempest
The rock, not the sand of the sea
Ii you want to sweep higher look lower,
You may spread all your sails to the air,
But If there's a leak IN the steerage,
In vain is your hope and your prayer.
If you want to go higher, go deeper,
The roots of the tree must explore
The chasms of darkness for nurture,
Or the leaf can be freshened no more
Would you like to be known for your goodness
Your Christian endeavor and skill
In finding and helping the erring?
Then start at the foot of the hill,
And seek for the path of Gods mercy.
The angel-kept highway of grace,
And follow its leading forever;
Twill end in beholding His face.
Do you want to live higher, live deeper,
The rills of his grace run below
The rubbish and turmoil of fashion,
All, deeper the waters still flow.
Do you sigh for extended possessions:
Then count all you have as but loss
You aspire to crown and kingdom;
You'll find it by bearing cross.

Lloyd Cook lives with family named

edge of the water. Without an instants
hesitation his little Feet were fast carrying
him to where the boy was struggling in
the water.

plunged into the water, and grasping the

him to the shore, amid the cheers of

The Harness,

To hang harness dripping with sweat
IN the stable, usually in the rear of the
horse, is the surest way to quickly rot it.
There should always be in every barn
room especially for harness, and as far as
possible from the stable part. Take the
horse TO the harness before putting it on.
A harness, properly cared for, will last
years withou5 losing its strength, while
another, equally good, will be rotten in
less than half the time.
