FARM AND GARDEN.
STRAWBERRY BEDS.

Brush Scream Recommended by the
Minnesota Experiment station.
The Minnesota Experiment station
advises q brush screen, placed six feet
above. the ground, for shading straw
berry beds MANY complaints have
reached u.s." S. b. Green writes in
Bulletin 25, "of the difficulty of secur-
ing good crop of Strawberries in ex-
posed places on the prairies, even when
the plants had grown well and both
staminate and pistillate kinds were
planted. This trouble is probably due
TO the pollen being too much dissipated
by the wind, and further to the drying
up of the fruit after it is set by the hot
sun and winds. With the object of
finding remedy for this trouble, some
preliminary experiments have been un-
dertaken, in one of which part of the
straw berry bed, including mostly
plants of late variety, named Parker
Earle, was shaded with brush screen,
such as we use for protecting evergreen
seedlings, and as shown in the cut
herewith. The result was that the
plants under the screen matured all
the fruit, while on those not thus
shaded many berries We're sun-scalded
and many others failed to ripen In
the first case we had full crop; in the
second, perhaps one-half This is con,
frmatory, though not by any means
conclusive, data on which to recon-
mend this practice to those wishing tc
grow strawberries in very exposed
places. But it would seem, however, 0
very rational suggestion, when we re
mem Der that generally the best fruit
and certainly the best late fruit %
wberries, is found in the wild state
in locations somewhat protected ant
shaded. and that in such places tn,
foliage is seldom affected with flung ou
diseases.
The past season was in point o
moisture an exceptional one and no
the best in which TO make this trial.

Money in Potato Raising.

The growing of potatoes should be
profitable. A yield of $50 bushels of
tubers per acre may cause loss, for
the reason that as much work in plow-
ing. planting, cultivation and harvest
ing such yield is necessary as
would be required for twice as many
bushels An experimental plat has
yielded in proportion over 1000 bushels
per acre, which demonstrates that an
acre of land can be made to give larger
yield with the sames cultivation If more
plant food Is applied.

The Japanese are a very polite ,peo

upon the men of the west. In the days

Among the rest he named to the
Japanese ministers certain aity.
The Japanese functionaries smiled
SO broadly when he preferred the re.
quest that the French ambassador
asked them to tell him what gave them
so much amusement; but instead OF
answering the Japanese ministers
said:
1--WE will open the port in question:
my lord, if France, in her turn, will
open certain port to u.s."
What port is that?" asked The
Trenchman.
"Tbc port of Liverpool"
But, your excellencies," laughing,
Liverpool is not French port, bni
an English one"
"Yes?" answered the Japanese. "And
the port you named is not in Japan,
but in Corea."
The French ambassador was com
PEELED to admit that the joke was upon
him.

venture! In few moments we had
them safely in our gallant Queen of
the May, the rowing boat was made
fast to ours, and we started for the
shore. The rescued ones told us that
they had hired the boat that afternoon
to go for row, and coming home they
were Mortified to find that she had
sprung leak, and, to make matters
worse, in searching for baler one of
the oars became unshipped and slipped
away, and they found themselves, poor
things, drifting away every moment
farther from home, helpless to do any
thing but bale the water out.
And they had been in this sad plight
nearly two hours when their cries at
tracted our notice. How tired and
worn they looked, and with what i'm
portance and delight we brewed them
a hot, delicious cup of tea each with
our spirit lamp The color came back
to the faces of the poor, frightened
lady and little girl and the wee maid
sat on merry Jacks knee, and the two
made bond of friendship together.
And when we landed and bade good
by to our rescued friends it seemed
funny to learn that the gentleman in
the trio was none other than the new
master who had come to the school my
two boy friends were at, and whose
acquaintance-owing to its being holi-
day time-they had not yet made. And
the lady, who was his sister, and her
little girl had never been on the sea
before, and the former declared that
her first trip would be her last.-Pall
