SMALL FRUIT FARMING.
When Wisely Conducted the Industry
PnVa Fair Proflta.

Pays Fair Profits.
The Philadelphia Record says: To
make specially of small fruits is to
use less land, give the best of cultiva-
ton and apply manure and fertilizers
literally, Instances have been known
where as much as 81, 900 per acre have
been secured from one acre of straw.
berries, but such results are an excep-
ton In this section the experienced
growers do not wait until the season
opens, but begin work as soon as the
condition of the ground permits. II
manure is TO be used, nothing that is
coarse is placed on the ground, only
the finest and most perfectly rotted
material being used. II fertilizers are
resorted to they are used before the
young sprouts begin to shoot out and,
If possible, the rows are cultivated, the
object being to have the plant food
within reach of the young plants at a
time when they need it most.
In order to give the young plants
start the land is made rich, and they
are transplanted as early as possible,
so as to give them the advantages of the
spring rains. A dry spell not only in
terferes with their growth, but cuts the
crop from the old bed shoot The
greatest enemy of the strawberry is the
weeds. 1t is easy enough to keep
them down between the rows, and il
the bed is matted in wide row hand
pulling must be resorted to, but If the
young plants are well worked the first
year, and the space between each plant
kept clean, the weeds can be kept
down so as to protect the matted rows
the second year. The young plants
may be put out in rows wide enough to
permit of horse culture, and should be
foot apart in the rows Later in the
season they will throw out runners,
which will cover every square inch OF
space in the rows. The plants that are
set out this spring will bear full crop

INFLUENCE OF BREED.
An Important Claim That Has Been yeri-
fled by Experience.

fled by Experience.
1t is settled fact that there are ami.
mails that possess the quality of more
perfect assimilation of food for the pro.
duction of milk than others, and it is
not unreasonable TO suppose that GER
tain breeds possess this quality to a
greater degree than others.
Under what may be termed average
conditions an animal is of little or no
use to the owner unless he is able TO de-
rive profit by keeping it. In the dairy
good animal is the one that will
proftably convert feed into milk, but
ter or cheese. In this, quantity is not
the only consideration, neither is quail
ity. Both are important but the cost
is rather more important than all else.
There must be a liberal quantity and
the quality must be good. At the same
time both must be secured at cost
that will leave fair per cent. of profit
If rightly managed And there is more
certainty of doing this with certain
breeds than with others. There may
be individual animals in all breeds that
excel in some essentials, as there are
others that fail almost as regularly.
Yet, generally, there are breeds that as
class can be depended upon to convert
their excess of food, the amount over
and above what is necessary to sustain
animal life, to milk and cream, and this
characteristic is in the breed to an eX.
tent that it can be depended upon to
transmit this quality from parent Ia
| offspring. Farmer.

Let the Hangings BE Of Melting Colors---
Cory Nooks and Corners. sr1
Home decoration is as necessary to
our we'll being as the clothes we wear.
In this advancement of civilization, we
have come to require well-furnished
rooms, and we gain by these schemes
of color, these textures of brilliancy,
courage to pursue our vacations under
pleasant surroundings. But to all dec
Grafton lovers word of advice may be
given. Look we'll to the tones and
tints. Let the beginning have unity
of purpose, and believe what the au-
thor of my House" asserts: E
ut is certain that well-chosen drap-
cries enrich an apartment, and not on
ly enrich, but give it peace and that
sense CT rcstfulness which wearied
minds and wearied bodies seek for.
Therefore let the hangings be of melt
ing colors; for the bright hues of the
past have graduated into the old blues,
the soft and tender terra Gotta, the
charming browns, and the creamy yell
lows The people of the East teach
us at all times the great lessons in col
oring, and blend in apparent confu-
sion the whole range of those tints
which are so full of marvellous beauty,
and by these examples our homes can
be tastefully decorated"
If there are corners and hooks cur
tanned and poled, there are transoms
which charm our eye, windows which
by their beauty we delight in, mantels
whose shelves hold our best treasures
pictures whose stories tell us of limpid
waters and Towering shrubs, trees
whose tender branches speak to us of
natures blessing-then home decora-
ton is not lost, for it becomes beauty
which we keep in our hearts and reflect
in our lives. Good Housekeeping.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

KINDNESS and confidence between the
owner and the cows saves food and
makes profit.
The churn should not be filled nearly
full of cream. II it is, butter will not
come quickly.
The cellar in which milk is set must
not smell musty. The air must be pure
or the milk will be spoiled.
BUTTER that is in a graduated state
should be washed until the liquid that
comes from it Is clear of all milky color
If butter is colored too deeply it
looks nasty. We believe in coloring
butter because the consumer wants 1t
yellow. But too much color is bad.
Do NOT apply salt to butter careless
ly. Weigh the butter and then add
salt at the rate of three-quarters of an
ounce or an ounce to pound and work
it in thoroughly. Farmers Voice

Bird Toilets.

The feathered tribes have many Pc
culiar ways and fancies about the de-
tails of their toilets Some birds use
water only, some water and dust, while
others prefer dust and no water Birds
are often very particular about the
water and dust for their baths Wild
ducks, though feeding by salt water,
prefer to battle in fresh water pools,
and will fly long distances inland to
prcen and dress their feathers in the
early morning. Sparrows battle often,
both in water and dust, and are not
nearly so particular as to the quality
thereof as many birds are. However,
when he can he prefers the finest and
driest of road dust. Partridges like
dry loan. They scratch out the soil
from under the grass and fill their
feathers with cool earth. All birds arc
more or less fond of burnt ashes. II
you ever have occasion to walk over a
field or copse that has been burnt over
you will be surprised to see the number
of winged creatures that rise suddenly
from the ash heaps.-Philadelphia
Ledger.
