Getting Ready For Berries.

II J. important 10 set out the runners
for the new bed Of trlwberiie. as early
as il can be done. In this latitude such
work is done in April, but il shuld be
done earlier if the ground thaws. The
reason is that the young plants get the
advantage Of the spring rains and be-
come well established before the sum
mcr sets in The young plants have
whitish roots, which should be abuud-
ant. The old plants have dark roots,
and they ,hould never BE- used for new
beds, the young plants from the runners
being always preferred. To thrive well
the plants should be set out on fine,
mellow soil, that has been plowed deep
and narrowed down fine. Even then
the rake viii bc foand very serviceable
in assisting 10 put the soil in fine con-
ditiol. Make the rows three or four
feet apart, Og Of distance 10 permit of
the cultivator, and place the plants
about Is inches in the rows, a they
will soon RIM together and mat, though
some growers prefer to grow plants in
single stools when extra large berries
are desired, but which requires more
labor, n the new runners must be kept
back.
FERTILIZERS AND CULTIVATION.
The plants st out this spring viii not
bear uutil next, hence the fertilizers
need Nos be applied a. lavishiy as for a
producing bed. About lOJ pounds Of
nitrate OF soda, 100 pounds sIperphos-
phate, and 10 pounds Of sulphate Of
potash make aH excellOnt combination.
The superphOsphate and potash may be
applied when the ground Is narrowed,
a. they will then be well incorporated
with the soil, and tine plants should be
set ont after a good rain. The nitrate
Of soda may 5e applied after the plants
are well under growth, by being sprin-
kled along the rows, on each side OF the
plants Bearing beds will require twice
a. much of the nitrate and superphOs-
phate. The plants must be kept clean,
not blade of grass or a weed being
permitted 10 grow. The object should
be 10 keep the young plants growing.
If manure il used it should be we'll
rOtted, and. also br0adcasted before har-
rowing, - as 20 have il well worked
into the soil.
VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES.
!. .ff..-.a.4
show that there Is no variety suitable
for all sections. More seems TO depend
on the soil than on the climate. Varie-
ties suitable for light soils DO not bear
profu-ely on clay land. and the climate
also influences the yield To some extent.
Beginners should keep in view the fact
that some Of the best varieties are pis-
tillate only, while Others are both stami-
nate and pistiI.ate. This necessitate5
the use OF two varieties if the preferred
one Is pis,illate, every third or fourth
styled doubic-bl0s-om variety for fer
tilizins the pi7tilla.e kind. Large ber-
ries depend ON the variety, but growers
have learned tuat success j. met when
large applications of fertilizers are
given, a. much a. half a ton per acre
being considered not excessive by eX-
pert growers, - they thereby secure
large yields of eXtra-siLe berries, and
also receive AN extra price per quart
when the berries reach the markets.

Chinese Pawnbrokers,

Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to the general one
storied or low constructions. Some Of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at considerable distance
above the ground and no outside pro-
jections by which thieves might climb
up. These establishments are called
pawnshops, but they appeared to mo
more to resemble our banks where we
place deeds and other valuables for safe.

Chinese to deposit their possessions Of

A gentleman who went into the woods
region on hunting excursion and put
up" at farmhouse in remote clearing
was annoyed during the daytime with
the abundance Of flies that found access
to the house. But when twilight of
evening came ne was treated to an exhi
bition of fly catching that more than re-
paid him for his vexation. The windows
were opened as tho darkness settled
down, and the hostess tallow dip only
partially dispelled the gloom in the old
fashioned kitchen, when he suddenly
became aware Of odd creatures darting
to and fro in the room, often coming al
most into his face, while queer little
noise of "snip, snip, snip" seemed to
follow their velvety fluttering motions
For all instant he was startled, not
knowing what to make Of such intrud-
ers.
"It's only the BATS" said tho lady
quietly as she pursued her work. "They
arc catching flies Don't you hear 'em
snip off their wings? There'll be hun
dreds Of fly wings on the floor here in
the morning"
The gentleman arose early and looked
for the wings, and sure enough tho floor
and tables were Uttered with them. -

ON A NEBRASKA FARM.
Life Was Only q Drcary Waste When tho
Grasshoppers Came

LIE Was Only Dreary Waste When tho
Grasshoppers Came.
1t was well ON in August, and the
drought had done its worst to the corn.
1t was a hot, sultry day, as parched and
dry as all the days before. The sky was
clear but for the usual haze that never
left it, the haze of wearing heat. About
noon my father came up from the field
and summoned US to see something that
looked like snow. The air about the sun
seemed filed with snowflakes, thick,
innurnerable, and fitting rapidly, as
snowfakes do. But snowhakes and the
clear atmosphere and the hot day were
quite incompatible things. They could
not be snowfiakes, but whit else could
they be? We raoked our brains in vain
to imagine. Perhaps it was some kind
OF cyclone which had lifted leaves and
dust and other such things into the air.
But there was no signs of that, and ev-
cry one OF the snowflakes was of regu
lar size, with no such irregularity as
sticks and branches and leaves carried
into the air would present.
We ate dinner in puzzled uncertainty
as to what was hanging over us. But
two hours later it was painfully appar-
ent what the snowtiakes in the sun real.
ly We're They were full grown grass
hoppers. By 4 o'clock the air was clear
and serene, and the grasshoppers were
with us. They were not few thousand
insects, miserable little pests, fitting
about in the air and getting into your
face when you were out of doors. They
were millions upon millions The trees
became brown with them. They cover
ed the corn as some insects will literal
ly hide from view leaf sometimes.
They were hungry, too, and began to
eat leaves, corrstalks, the bark of trees,

ing sting wherever you went or did not
60 Everything seemed alive with them.
l was Young then and was filled sim.
ply with curious wonder. But as
think Of it now l am sure my father
must have been quite overpowered with
discouragement when he saw what tho
grasshoppers really meant. He saw on
the first day that they had alighted to
get square meal and certainly meant
to have it. But day after day they lin
gered, and new terrors developed in
them. They had alighted to lay their
eggs. The soft earth in the plowed
fields seemed to please them for this
purpose, and each day you might see
grasshoppers = or inches long Dor.

only their heads remained above. There
they would stay from morning until
night and then 90 away. If you exam

flown, you would find a soft, silky co.

pulpy eggs which meant whole crop
