Prof. munsen On Small Fruits.

After . general introduction in which he
spoke of the principles of plant growth and
the rules of approved practice in small fruit
culture. Prof. Munson took up first the
strawberry and its treatment. The main
points upon this fruit are the following:
The strawberry delights in a sandy loan
soil, but any soil that will grow good corn
will grow good strawberries, but it must be
well drained, and should be moist. The
best manures are commercial fertilizers, ~
with the use of stable manures too many
weed-seeds get into the beds. A good fer
tilizer is also 1900 lbs. Of ground bone and
700 lbs. muriate of potash, per acre. For
general garden purpose grow the plants in
the matted row" system. The best time
to set the plants is in May. In most cases
it is Indispensable to cover the plants
for winter; coarse meadow hay
making the best winter mulch. Do
not put this on deeper than one inch as it is
liable to smother the plants if put on too
thick, then uncover the plants in the spring
as soon as the weather becomes fully set
tied, or as soon AS the frost is out of the
ground. Evergreen boughs also make a
good winter covering. The best varieties
are: Crescent Seeding, May King. Sharp
less. Bubsch. Jessie; promising new
variety is the Parker Earle.
q pistillate variety, Hsviland. Candy.
"a new late Variety Lovitt's Early is new

price is $500 per bushel. The cost Of an
acre Of strawberries would be about $50.
leaving profit Of $3.50.
The raspberry needs much the s,m ',
soil as the strawberry. The best time
of setting 10 usually in the spring-the
.sbiack caps must invariably be set in
spring. Set in rows six feet apart. and tn.
plants four feet apart in the rows. Cut
back the canes when they reach q height Of
three feet, and they will mature for winter.

The Land of the DalxOtas.

'Tie log year since first pictured.
In my lnind the far Northwest;
Land of snow storms ana blxzards.
And Permanent that never rcsts.
This land it reached from the Minneeotas~
To far, fur distant west,
Likewise from the savage POncae,
Reaching a1sv towards the west.
Lovely was the western country.
Ere the white man to 1t came,
All the land was one vast meadow.
Everywhere twas filed with game.
From the buffalo and the bison,
Grouse and rabbits quiet and feet;
Andthe lakes were filled with fishes.
From their dens young foxes !,eep.
In this land there dwelt people,
Not people one could trust,
Bat people filled with vengeance,
White man watch him-so he mast.
This was the land of the Dakotas,
And their enemies the Sioux;
Though they were Of the same fsmily,
He for vengeance ever sues.
And each year q war ne wages.
On his neighbors to the soath,
On the Poncas and Nebraskas,
Each year does this ruin or drOugh.
But this cruel savage people,
Unto grief and death are doomed,
And as they became more restless,
Darkest sh adows 'oer them loomed.
W. sin
They u savage war began,
But it lasted hut fortnight,
When they tackled Uncle Sam.
Thus they painted all in mourning,
When they knew their chief was doomed
When the famous Sitting Bull departed
To the Happy Hunting Ground.
In tho land near Minnewaukan,
Dwelis that faint and famished tribe,
Who, by war and sickness withered,
Till they succomb to guide.
Thus we picture this wild country,
As it was in days gone by,
When there dwelt that savage people,
Not by names we knew them by.
Thue we leave that treacherous people.
Who, such men as Custer slew,
And from things that then were
Well now hasten TO the new.
But this picture have painted,
Is Of different color now;
Lands once rsamed by brute and savage,
Now is upturned by the plow.
And instead of herds Of bison,
Which once roamed this mighty plain,
We see the fruits Of civilization,
Which began when white man came.
And the picture in the springtime
Is acurious sight to see.
To the eastern man wonder
Such things they could ever be.
And the picture still more brilliant,
IL the harvest time to see,
Sounds Of scores OF busy sickles,
And the songs they sung to me.
Drought and storm has often cursed US,
And the crops been spoiled by rain.
But the Dakota farmer labers,
Never mutters ner complains.
This plain picture have painted,
The truth TO tell I've done my best;
Not unlike other botch painter.
What knew not have guessed.
