Professor W. R. Lazenby, before
the Ohio Horticultural Society, pre-
sented the following summary of sug-
gestions to be kept in mind by straw
berry growers;
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not easily
influenced by differences in soil and
climate. Those which succeed well on
wide areas are usually better than
those which have mere local reputa-
tion.
Pistillate varieties, when properly
fertilized, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of a variety for fertilizing
pistillate flowers does not depend SO
much upon the amount as upon the
potency of its pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable to be injured by frost than
the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very early
nor very late in point of maturity are
the most productive and have the long
est fruiting season.
AS a rule varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the least productive, while those with
a weaker growth of foliage and a
greater susceptibility to leaf blight are
usually the more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon well-drained soils, but ap-
pears to be necessity upon heavier
ones.
The leaf blight may be checked by
using the Bordeaux mixture, begin
nIng just as soon as the leaves appear,
and continuing the application every
few weeks throughout the season.

HOW TO WASH TABLE LINEN.

Be sure that your linen goes into no
vessel that is not clean and freshly
rinsed. See that it is put to boil in
side bag of clean cheese cloth. If
stained, wet the spots with alcohol,
and wash out in clear cold water before
allowing suds to touch it. Stains of
milk or soft eggs must be soaked in
clear cold water for ten minutes when
washed. Use a mild white soap, or
the Brown Windsor that comes in long
bars. Make a strong lather, only let
ting the soap touch the fabric at some
obstinate grease spot. Tea cloths or
others with delicate colors wash
brighter if handful of salt is added
to the first suds, which should be bare
ly lukewarm. Tne second may be hot
ter. Wash quickly through both.
Fold smoothly for the wringer, then
pop into your bag and set to boil in
cold water for ten minutes. Rinse
first in hot, then in lukewarm water.
Have your bluing water cold and free
from specks of color. Dip your linen
in very thin starch containing a sus-
picion of bluing, and hang, if possible,
in the sun. See that the line is clean.
Take pains to hang each piece square,
as if dried awry it will be very hard to
make it even again.
Let everything dry thoroughly and
do not dampen or fold until little
before ironing time. After cloth is
properly wet, pull the diagonal cor
ners as hard as possible and fold with
a length-wise crease through the mid
die. Roll smooth and tight and let it
lie for twenty minutes. For rich da-'
mask or embroidered cloths put an
extra blanket on the ironing table
under its muslin cover. Lay the en-
broidered part smoothly over it, right
side down and press with heavy iron
just below scorching heat When al
most dry and very smooth, turn and
iron on the right side, using very
light irons on the embroidery and
heavier ones on the plain round.
Stretch the fabric well with the hands
before pressing embroidery.
When the right side is properly
done, fold it lengthwise along the mid
die, then begin at one end and lay
about six inches-ightly over; do not
fold it down but roll until all the
length is coiled. Go over the cloth
twice or thrice with hot iron, chang
ing irons Frequently. Iron till the
pattern shows plain on glossy white
surface. If not thoroughly dry when
ironed, hang upon the horse for an
hour or two, then fold or roll to such
compass as required for the closet

RAISING HORSES TO SELL.

Generally the farmer cannot afford
to raise geldings and keep them on the
farm for team. He can mako them
pay very well if he will keep them un-
til they are four or five years old, and
then sell, taking care in the meantime
to break them well, so as TO get work
enough out of them to pay for their
keep. A horse that has been given
good care so as TO make a steady growth
and development from the time he was
foaled ought to be broken to light
work when past two years old, taking
care that only light work is given him
and not too much of that Then,
whenever good fair price can be
realized for them, unless they are
needed on the farm, and are worth
more TO you than the price offered, it
will be best to sell.
With good young mares, however,
the case is different. The better the
young mares are the stronger the
reason why they should be kept on the
farm for breeding. No farmer can
afford to sell the best of his animals of
any kind, especially those that he can
use to good advantage in improving
his stock. By mating full blooded
sire to carefully selected mares, good
grade colts may be secured. Then il
in turn the very best of these grade
mares are selected and again mated to
pure-bred stations still further i'm
provement is made.
BY keeping the best and breeding in
this way, selling all that are needed on
the farm, considerable Improvement
in quality of the horses can be made.
Keep mares and young, growing horses
to do the necessary work of the farm,
keeping the young horses until they
are reasonably well matured and thus
selling whenever fair price is offered.
In this way considerable work can be
gotten out of the horses while they
are growing, and by taking care to
keep them in good condition they can
be marketed at any time.
But if the best mares are sold of,
and what cannot be sold are bred un-
der present conditions, the colts, even
when reasonably well grown, will he
hard to sell at any price. The cost of
raising the one is as much as the other,
and the difference in value when ready
to market represents to q considerable
extent the difference in the profits, -

Most Destructive Of Meapons.

The reply to this question nat
urally divides itself into weapons
which have been tried in actual war
fare, and those whose powers have
only been tested by experiment. OF
the former the distinction would be
about equally divided between the
torpedo and the machine-gun. In the
Chilean war the Blanca Encalada,
struck by one torpedo, went down in
few minutes with 400 men on board.
The same war proved that no living
creature can remain in an exposed po-
sition within the range of machine
gun fire for more than few minutes,
and this conclusion is accepted by all
authorities. In the second category
the palm must be given to NJ. Turpin's
new ''war machine, which is a light
calibre machine-gun, manipulated by
four men and drawn on a carriage by
two horses. 1t will project hail of
%, 900 missiles every fifteen seconds at
a range of nearly three miles, over a
space measuring 100 yards each way.

Mastodon homes Found.

The people of Frankfort, Marshall
County, Kansas, are greatly excited
over tho discovery of mastodon's
tooth dug up in the streets of that
town. The peculiar thing about it is
that minister, Rev. S. M. Hopkins.
found it in front of his residence, and
rs he is superstitious, the good man
thinks it is terrible warning, and
has preached about it to his congrega-
tion, assuring them that it is the fore
runner of trouble to that people.
When Rev. Mr.. Hopkins found this
mammoth tooth he called in the
neighbors and measurement was
made of it. The great tusk measured
fourteen inches in length, six inches
in width and six inches from the
grinding surface to the end of the
remaining portion of the fangs.
The bone portion of the tooth is
petrifed, but tho enamel is Just as
bright and perfect as il ever was. 1t
is an interesting specimen and people
have travelled many miles to look at
it. Parties have been digging for
other evidences of former mastodon,
and have been rewarded with rich
finds. They unearthed several monster
bones, showing that mastodon of
great proportions died their many
years ago. st. Louis Republic.

WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY.

Doctor Charles G.. Davis, OF Chicago, in n
paper read before the National Temperance
Convention, and printed in the Journal OF
the American Medical Association, speaking
OF the National Temperance Hospital OF
Chicago, says
Tda basic principles upon which this In
stitution rests may be formulated as follows
/. Alcohol is poison.
2. When taken into the system, II Is not
Assimilated, but passes the round OF the cir
cuiation, and is finally thrown of through
the organs Of excretlon, unchanged.
5. While passing through the body il dis
turhs the various physiological processes,
and in this way lays the foundation for
disease.
4. 1t does no. stimulate or strengthen but
1t depresses and weakens.
3. As II is not assimilated, II cannot be q
food
6. As 1t disturbu every physiological pro-
cess, II cannot be medicine.

that cannot be more successfully treated
without than with the use of alcohol.

Chanr. In Nonlhcrn NeLhods.

The enforced economy of the last
two years has caused a complete change
in Southern farm methods and the
credit system is being superseded by
n cash basis. The low price of cotton
for the last few years forced upon
farmers the necessity of raising their
own food stuffs, and added to this was
the decision of bankers and factors to
advance much less money on cotton
than formerly. The result has been n
change that for the time being, while
passing from the credit system, with
it's liberal buying, to a cash system,
requiring the closest economy, there
has heen less trade with farmers, and
hence a decreased volume of general
business in the South.
But this has brought about more
solid condition of the business in farm
trade throughout the South than we
have had for many years. Merchants
are carrying small stocks and buying
only rs needed. Farmers are paying
off their debts TO such an extent that,
without exception, letters from bankers
say that the farmers are less in debt
than for years. The money that
formerly went North and West for
provisions and grain has been retained
at home, and the full result is that
this section is probably less in debt TO
its own banks and less in debt to the
North and West for supplies than in
any year since the war ended. New

LONG LIFE AND INDEPENDENCE.

A well-known writer says / saw in the
carefully-prepared statistics OF insurance So
cieties that total abstinence, as an indisput-
able fact, contributes TO longevity. Then
saw that so far from alcohol being n neces-
sity for great feats OF strength, that many OF
the greatest athletes in the world, from Sam
son downward, whose drink was only the
crystal brook, had achieved without alcohol
feats far more mighty than they could pos
sibly have achieved with It and as far as in
tellcctual exertions are concerned, great writ
ers, though they have not always said with
Pindar that water Is best, have yet constant
ly drawn from temperance a far better inspi-
ration than they could possibly have pro-
duced chemically from the fumes OF wine.
Then found that r great number OF our
most eminent physicians had declared most
positively that in hundreds and thousands OF
cases alcohol was the fruitful source OF dis
ease, even to those who took II IN quantities
conventionally deemed moderate and, on
the other hand, other physicians who were
opposed to total abstinence as a general rule
still confessed that the young and the healthy,
all who eat we'll and all who sleep well, can
do without it and are better without II.
All these proofs and many others convinced
me that IL was not necessary for me TO con-
tinue to toneh any form OF alcohol; and
gave 1t up the more readily because the aban-
donment OF was one element in that very
needful simplitication OF life which gets rid
OF all artificial wants and which is peculiarly
desirable in an age OF luxury like this. Tenn
perance puts wood on the fire, meal in the
barrel, -four in the tub, money in the purse,
contentment in the house and clothes on the
children" Believing that abstinence would
tend to simplicity of life 20 health to strength
o. body, TO clearness OF mind, to length OF
days, for me, at any rate, it became desirable
to give up alcohol altogether; and did so.

ing suffered in consequence even single

SEPARATOR MILK roR CHEESE.

In a Western farmers institute Pro-
fessor Babcock expresses himself
strongly in favor of separator milk as
making better cheese and one likely
to hold a good flavor longer than did
cheese made from milk not put through
this process. The cream and milk are
run together through a sieve after sep
arating so as to mix it thoroughly,
but there are certain offensive matters
that come ont of the separating that
can be kept distinct from the cream.
These are trifing in amount, but when
set to work by the rennet their effect
after two or three months is TO de-
stroy the flavor of the cheese. Up to
that time cheese from whole milk and
that which has been put through the
separator cannot be distinguished. -

DISEASE OF FOWLS.

Hens are subject to several diseases,
but mostly those of the throat and the
intestines. The first class is due to
exposure to cold and damp, or to con-
tagion. The latter is the result of bad
feeding and indigestion. The most
prevalent of the first class of diseases
is one known as roup, which is very
similar to the human diphtheria, and,
like that, exceedingly contagious. 1t
appears rs n thick adherent mucus or
cheesy matter in the throat and mouth,
stopping the breathing and making the
swallowing difficult The head swells,
and of course the birds stop eating
The remedy for this disease is to wash
the mouth clean with warm vinegar
and drop pinch of powdered chlorate
of potash in the throat The food
should be soft, and little hyposul-
phate of soda should be dissolved in
the drinking water. Excessive warmth
is not desirable for fowls in the win
ter, only such as will keep the tenn
perature at night of not less than fifty
degrees. Another frequent disease is
that of the liver, by which the nerves
of the lower limbs are so affected that
the birds cannot walk. This disease
resembles that of pigs by which the
hind legs become useless and are
dragged about as the animal moves.
Overfeeding is the common cause OF
this disorder, and the remedy is to
stop the cause, giving no food for two
or three days, but only water, and then
beginning with small feeds, gradually
increased. New York Times.

use alcoholics even in moderation. In one
town in India, l remember, an English
couple were the only white persons exempt
from malarial fevers during n three years
residence, and they were the only abstainers
in the place. Alcohol is n poison and acts
quicker within the tropics than elsewhere. 4"

It is noticeable that in the best nee,

looks nearly as smooth and we'll fin

that the best imported silks nre the
