In the majority of cases, the spring
of the year Is the best season for
planting strawberries When the
plants are received from the nursery,
they should be unpacked at once and
spread out In cellar, to prevent
heating, and In planting the roots
should not be exposed to sun or air.
The ground should be free from
weeds, and well fertilized. The
rows may be thirty inches apart,
plants one foot apart In the row.
They need to be frequently cultivated
to keep down all weeds. which are
the strawberry growers greatest
enemy. In the autumn, after the
ground has become firmly frozen, the
plants should be covered with leaves.
clean straw, or corn fodder. Stable
manure should not be used on these
beds, because full OF seeds, Straw
berry beds should be renewed every
two or three years il the best fruit is
desired. st7S

shallow Planting for Corn.

There is constant temptation to
pillow deeper for corn than is best for
the crop The soil in spring Is moist
and the pillow runs easily to greater
depth than it can be made to do to-
wards fall. 1t is easier, too, for the
careless plowman to put the plow
down so that the handles shall hardly
need to be taken hold OF In going
across the Geld. But that is not the
way to make a good corn crop II
the furrow is half turned and left on
edge with enough loose soil to make
a seed bed the sod will rot better
than it will when deep furrow is
turned fiat and leaving a lot Of cold
subsoil on the surface. This does
not make a good seed bed. The
grains of corn are checked almost as
soon as they terminate and do not
recover until nearly midsummer. 1t
IS possible to get good corn with
deep blowing IL stable manure has
been used, but 1t will not be as for
ward early In the season as the corn

has had no manure.

Currants and Gooseberrles.

These valuable fruits are grown
with great ease, and need only to be
kept free from weeds. New plants are
readily obtained by making cuttings
in the autumn. six inches long, which
may be planted at once, or kept in
the cellar IN moist sand, and planted
in the spring. The plants need re-
newing evers six or eight years.
Better fruit is grown on young, than
on old bushes. To secure large crops,
the bushes have to he pretty severely
pruned each year. The rust or mil
dew OF the gooseberry IL now quite

bushes with solution OF potassium
sulphide, one ounce to two gallons of

sued in China, 2697 b. G. Originally
these notes were issued by the treas
ury, but experience dictated change
to the system of banks under govern
ment inspection and control. The early
Chinese "greenbacks" were in all es-
sentials similar to the modern bank
notes, bearing the name OF the bank,
the date of the issue, the number OF
the note, the signature of the official
issuing it, indications of its value in
figures, in words, and in pictorial rep

@ laconic exhortation to industry and
thrift: produce all you cam spend

ed in blue ink on paper made from the
fiber of the mulberry tree. A Chinese
bank note issued in 1899 B. G. is said
TO be preserved in the Asiatic Museum

Two Ugly Men.

The Duo de Roquelaire was man
of great ugliness and much humor.
One day he met in the street most
unlovely-looking Auvergnat, who had
some petition or memorial to present
at Versailles. He Immediately intro
duced him to Louis XIV, remarking
that he was under special obligation
to him. The King granted the favor
asked for, and then inquired Of the
Duo what might be the nature OF the
obligation. "But for him, your Males
ty, should be the ugliest man in your
dominions"
I am reminded of Heidegger, the
manager of the opera house in the
Haymarket when George III. was king.
One day he laid wager with the Earl
of Chesterfield that he would not find
in all London an uglier face than his.
After long search the Earl produced
a woman OF st. Giles who, at first,
seemed to outvie the manager, but
when the latter put on the woman's
headgear his superior ugliness was at
once admitted. the Year Round.

Planting Early Potatoes.

The potato plant after 1t comes out
OF the ground Is very tender, and the
slightest frost nips 1t, but in cold
soil IL takes often two weeks or more
for the shoot to come above the sur
face. 1t is necessary, therefore, for
the very earliest crop that the seed
should be in the ground while frosts
are still expected. 1t does no harm
even If the surface soil is slightly
frozen after the potato has been
planted. This freezing mellows the
surface, and when cultivated it will
be found in fine filth. Much how
ever, depends on the condition OF the
seed. That which has been prepared
by cutting and drying few days be-
fore putting III the ground will be up
before that which was cut just before
being planted. The planting of early
potatoes should always be deep
enough so that the whole surface can
be narrowed once or twice before the
plants are up This carly cultiva-
tion OF the soil greatly increases the
vigor Of growth when the shoots come
up 1t directly aids growth by in
creasing the amount of available
plant food in the soil.

The amount which it was intimated
Senator Kyle could receive was Sl4,-

the man making the negotiation as q
commission. Mr.. McFarlane, clerk to
Senator Kyle, says the matter never
went any further than an intimation.
He promptly informed Senator Kyle.
The character of the man who is said
to have made the limitations stamps
the whole affair with the seal Of con-
demnation. 1t is scarcely possible that
any syndicate of persons who could
control the amount OF money neces-
sary in order to make an attempt to
purchase votes would intrust it to the
man who made the intimation to the
clerks of senators Kyle and Hunton.

Farm Notes.

TIE comb of the fowls is a true in

bright red it indicates that the fowl
is in healthy condition, but if pale
or dark it shows that there is some-
thing wrong.
MANAGEMENT is as important as

THE mechanical arrangement of the
soil determines It's fertility. The
fineness of the soil is important The
greater the lumber OF soil grains in a
given space the greater the amount
of air space, because thesmall grains,
being light arrange themselves more
loosely than the heavier or larger
ones.
IF you try the feeding of wheat,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, In or
der to find a better market than the
mill or the warehouse offers, better
not feed It BY itself, but dilute IL
with soaked corn or corn meal. This
will make ration which hogs will
tatten on rapidly, and which cannot
injure them.

there vessel was forced on the rocks
and beaten to pieces. The greater
part of the crew persisted miserably,
as no boat could venture to their as
sistance. Meanwhile planter came
from his farm to see the wreck, and
knowing the spirit Of his horse and his
excellence as swimmer, he de-
termined to make desperate effort for
their deliverance, and pushed into tho
laundering breakers. At first both
disappeared, but were soon seen on the
surface. Nearing the wreck, he caused
two of the poor seamen to cling to his
boots, and so brought them safe to the
shore. Seven times did he repeat this
perilous feat and saved fourteen lives,
but, alas! the eighth time, the horse
being much fatigued and m Getting with
formidable wave, the gallant planter
lost his balance and was overwhelmed

but the noble horse reached the land
