Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1894-06-02

A man of position in one OF the Lon
don book houses tells me that the Eng
fish publishers are having as interest
ing time bidding for Bismarcl's auto
biography as they had for Stanley's
Through Darkest Africa" Unwisely,
perhaps, the great German statesman
gave out the fact that he was working
at his autobiography, and since that
time he has been practically flooded
with offers. One authoritative offer
consisted OF payment of 100000 for
the complete rights for England and
America. But even TO this, which is
believed TO be the most generous offer
made, the great bismarck has made no
response The fact of the matter is. as
my friend who has just returned from
a visit 10 Bismarck as an emissary of a
London book house writes me, the auto
biography is not yet even completed.
For that matter, IL is scarcely written.
During his recovery Bismarck gave some
attention 10 the work, and wrote and
dictated several pages per day--as much
as his returning strength would permit.
The prince is not ready with the pen.

In certain part of West Virginia

presided over by an honest old farmer,
who in his earlier years. had been an

d keen sense Of humor. One day while
on the bench lac saw IN the audience an

haul some timber from his sawmill near

suaded 10 do the same kind Of labor for

do? iou'll have 70 be taught lesson

indignant Judge, then squared of and

cheerfuily:

Talk on Blackberries.

c. H. Hamilton of Wisconsin says on
this subject:
They would grow anywhere. but
would choose level ground, we'll drained,
and soil made rich with liberal dress
ing of well-rotted barnyard manure.
Plant in rows seven feet apart and
three feet in the row. Some low-grow-
ing crop can be raised the first year be-
tween the rows Give the plants win
ter protection by laying down and COW
ering with earth. ! use wire to protect
the plants and set posts or stakes,
about twenty feet apart, on which to
fasten the wires. Mulch with green
clover and pinch off the young canes as
soon as they get to be twenty inches or
two feet high. The same plantation
can be kept twenty years. have one
fifteen years old which is apparently as
it ever was. usually let all the plants
which come up in the hill remain until
the following spring, then reduce to
four or five. and treat all other plants
between hills and rows as weeds.

r. ]. Coe OF Fort Atkinson, a practi-
cal fruit grower, had for his theme
strawberry Culture, at the Wiscon-
sin horticultural meeting and made the
following points:
Never plant strawberries after straw
berries, for if rotation is good practice
everywhere, it surely is for the straw
berry bed. Don't use plants from an
old bed, nor small, inferior specimens
from a new one. but always choose
good, strong plants from new beds
Prepare the ground the year before
by having it well manfred. Sow rye
in the fail and turn it under early in
the spring. Dig the plants few days
before setting and keep in moderately
cool, shady place until the roots begin
to start Mark rows perfectly straight
and cultivate once week through the
season. Pick off all blossoms and treat
the first runners as weeds. Trim uI
the rows to eighteen or twenty-four
inches Cover in autumn with marshy
hay or other litter which is free from
weed seeds. Now the bed as soon as
picked and, when dry, burn mulch and
all. Never keep bed over two crops
Mr.. Woodward of New York would use
commercial fertilizers at the rate Of
400 pounds of potash and 600 pounds OF
bone dust to the acre.
