Never let the weeds get start, but

One Of the most important items OF
strawberry growing is the distance the
plants are apart at fruiting time. be-

think that as rule berry growers are
too afraid Of spending money enough
on their plantations to obtain best re-
suits.
The present season l counted 260 ber-
ries and blossoms on a single plant that
mad plenty Of room to show what 1t
would do If it was given good chance.
Even If this plant would only mature
100 good large sized berries, and that
they would only fill one wine quart
box, who Is there before me to-day that
would begrudge that plant even a
square foot Of ground? The best and
cheapest way that I know of to get
your plants six or eight inches by one
is to set your plants three by five feet
and cultivate both ways, and keep all
blossoms and runners off the plants
until they are we'll established, good,
strong plants, and then let only four
runners form on each plant Train the
first two runners lengthwise of the

of plants one foot apart, then let each
plant make two more runners, and then
train at right angles of the row. and let
each one of these runners make two
plants, and keep all the balance of the
runners pulled off.
This will insure you some very large
fine plants that will bear berries in
piles, instead Of a few little stunted
berries, as we often see in matted
rows where the plants stand not over
an inch apart. The greatest mistake
that have made has been in allowing
plants to mat too closely, but intend
to thin heroically in the future, and l
expect that every cent that spend on
my patch will be doubly repaid me in
fine large berries that will sell at the
very highest market price.

one knew what to do for him.
Just seven miles away, In the city,

cence Of her heart, had asked her
mother why he did not come and cure
papa. Her mother had answered with
some bitterness, "He cures rich peo"
pie, my child. 1t would cost more dol
lars than we have cents to get his

they fall sick, because they have no

money or that she had something OF
her own that she could sell and get

She looked at her own little yellow pig

always left them some valuable Jewels,

had nothing to leave her, and she had
searched the leaves Of the Bible.
No, there was nothing she could do

miles and beg Of Him her fathers life!
Following this thought came again
that of the great doctor. Indeed, she
had hardly ceased to think about him

ne would cure her father If he only
came to him.
"Oh," thought Stella, "if mamma
would only let me so to him 1 know
he would come, for surely man who
can cure everybody must be a good
man, and must love to do It,"
She thought Of her good, kind father,
who loved her so well, and of the walks

held her hand in his firm, strong grasp

Handy Why of Measuring.

striped bass under eight inches in
length when caught shall be returned
to the water Sometimes the fisher
men use an eight-inch stick to measure
the fish with, but the common practice
is to cut notches eight inches apart in
the seats of the boat or in the gunwale,
and as the net is hauled to touch the
doubtful fish to one of these spaces.

sorption and tho plants conse-
quently feel the benefit at once,
1t does not follow, however, that
liquid manures can or Should take
the place Of all coarse manures, any
more than that the ELECTROMAGNETIC
commercial fertilizers should run out
the barnyard fertilizers. The soil
needs both. One great advantage that
coarse barnyard manures confer upon
the soil Is to separate the soil particles
and make them more porous. The
thicker and more compact a soil Is the
more does it need coarse barnyard ma
nures.
But the value Of the liquid manure Is
frequently overlooked by farmers, and
more Of this is wasted than saved, If
a manure heap is located outdoors
where the spring rains can fall upon 1t
the water teaching through the pile will
soon form a puddle at the bottom, II
allowed to stand q short time 1t will
get dark. Now apply some Of this
liquid manure direct to a dozen hills
OF corn or any vegetable, and fertilize
dozen more equally good hills with
the coarse manure from the pile. Make
two or three applications Of each dur
ing the summer and watch the results.
The experiment has been tried many
times, and the results are invariably
In favor Of the liquid manure. The
plants grow faster and thriftier and
produce larger crops At the Iowa
Experiment Station some time ago this
experiment was tried, and the acre Of
corn fertilized with the liquid manure
yielded $500 bushels Of corn, and an
other acre fortified with barnyard ma
nure of ordinary richness produced only
50.06 bushels.
This represents roughly what farm
er is losing when he exposes his ma
nure pile so that the liquid part is
wasted. Every rain that falls on 1t
washes away considerable Of its most
valuable ingredients. This waste is
ceaseless. 1t continues right up to
the time of applying the manure to the
field. If allowed to stand out all win
ter 1t stands to reason that more than
half Of the essence of the manure has
been wasted. Fortunately Of late years
this practice Of exposing the manure
to the weather at all seasons of the
year has gradually fallen into disuse,
and only few farmers Of the old school
hold to it. In the coward and stables
the liquid part of the manure is allowed
to soak into the earth, where 1t can
never be reached. On a large dairy
farm this waste is enormous. II one
has wooden or cemented floors Of
course the waste is checked almost en-
tirely, but not one in 10 have such
floors.
The hard earth floors, packed down
by heavy pounding, and covered with
a foot of chaff, will collect most Of this
liquid manure in the COW stable. But
the absorbent must be renewed often
enough to keep all of the liquid from
going to waste. If the yard has a
slight incline the liquid will run off,
and can be conducted into receivers
placed at one side. During rain
storms the surplus moisture is great,
and a dozen barrels Of liquid can be
collected in this way. This will be
liquid manure strongly diluted, but 1t
can be poured over the manure heap
later in dry weather so that most Of 1t
can be absorbed. One loses little from
the COW stable exposed to the weather
by adopting some such plan as this.

Potatoes in Michigan.

The Department Of Agriculture of
Michigan have issued a chart showing
the average rainfall for the various
seasons throughout the different coun-
ties of the state Of Michigan, and show
ing how the farmers are planting their
potatoes at an inopportune time. The
reports contain the following: Potato
raising in Michigan Is largely on the
increase. The Importance of good soil
we'll supplied with readily available
plant food and thorough cultivation is
recognized by all successful growers.
One thing needful to mature a good
crop which cannot be supplied by the
farmer is rainfall. Much can be done
by thorough preparation of the soil,
and by judicious and timely cultiva-
ton, to conserve all moisture that
comes, and the time of planting can
be better selected to use to best adj
vantage the rainfall than is the usual
practice with many growers. In the
southern part Of the state it is the gem
eral practice to plant potatoes soon
after getting in the corn, or about the
goth of May. Potatoes planted at this
time will form tubers in August, lat the
time of least rainfall and greatest heat,
and under the most unfavorable con-
ditions. Would not the conditions be
more favorable if the potatoes were
planted earlier or later? II planted early
in April, as is possible in many soils,
the tubers would mature before the
time of greatest heat and least rainfall.
An early or medium-early variety
should be used in this case. If plant
ed two or three weeks later than the
Goth of May, the warm soil, together
with the copious June rains, would give
the crop good start. and the tuber-
| forming period would come late in
August and in September, when the
rainfall is greater and the temperature
cooler. For northern Michigan the
chart shows that the drought comes in
July, when 1t ism OF so injurious to the
crop, and that the rainfall is greater
during the fall months than in the
southern part of the state, which may,
in part, explain why the northern Sec
ton is so successful in potato grow
ing"
