possible or until the runners between
the rows interfere, and occasionally use
the hoe. Turn the runners toward
any vacant places. After the ground
has frozen in the fall cover the rows
with straw, coarse hair or anything
that is most easily obtained thick
enough SO that you can hardly see the
vines underneath. In the spring rake
the straw between the rows, or if the
mulch is thin leave it on and let the
vines grow through it. This will make
the crop little later, but the berries
are invariably of better size, the mulch
keeping the ground moist and the
berries out of the dirt. New England

4 Bird story.

Will you allow me to add touching
instance of courage to your pleasant
bird stories? Early one morning last
summer was called to the window by
great noise among the bird people OF
the garden, and saw the following
scene. A young blackbird was stand
ing fascinated by cat, who was
crouched under bush ready to spring
on him. An old blsckbird, on an lex
close by, was uttering loud and agi.
tated cries, and there was general
cackle of anger and sympathy from
other birds all around After few
seconds the cat sprang on the young
bird and held him down. At that in.
slant the old bird came down ON them.
There was moments struggle, the
bird beating her wings violently in the
cats face, and, ] think, pecking at her
eyes; then the cat jumped back to her
bush, the young bird made off with
long hops, and the old one flew up to
the lex, amid a jubilant chorus of
commentator which lasted quite some
minutes. / never saw this before,
though have seen a robin come quite
close to cat stalking another bird and
scold and flap her wings in her face.
The WAYS Of birds are delightful,
and in small garden You can have
many by keeping earthenware saucers
full Of water for them to battle in. -
