looked after: because in order TO keep
the plants stocky. they need to be grown
in exposed positions. and not allowed
very much pot room till they are put
into their fruiting pots, which should be
about ten inches In diameter. Pots are
better than benches for early crops, but
Tor later spring purposes. or a succession
crop, shallow benches with about eight
inches of soil answers very well. Three
of the best varieties are Essex, Lorillard.
and Early Ruby. and some advocate
Dwarf Champion. but It certainly will
not produce fruit so early as either of
the others, nor yet in so great abund-
ance. The suggestions Tor protection
which you make are good.
Pig Growing.-Pig growers have found
how well the swine industry goes along
with dairying. The skim milk is found
very profitable for pig feeding when
shorts. ground wheat. rye. barley or meal
Is mixed with il. For the rapid growth of
pigs. shorts are perhaps best mixed with
skim milk, and corn meal may be added
when they grow toward maturity. Such
feeding is the very best for rapid develop
ment and growth OF the pig, both for ear
ly maturity and healthfulness. Besides,
the very best quality OF pork is made by
such feeding. The experiment stations have
very thoroughly demonstrated this. Tho
rule is a pound to one and a half pounds
of skim milk to a pound of shorts or other
grain. With this kind of mixed farming
any farm may be more profitable than by
purely grain farming alone. The fertil-
izers from the dairy and tho dairy and pen
are rich returns to the farm, and for years

pen have been the most profitable. The
two branches easily go hand In hand to-
gether.
Most Popular Strawberry.-Th Cornell
experiment station has been canvassing
the northern and western fruit districts
of New York state with the object of
finding out the most popular varieties OF
strawberries in that section.
The Wilson was pronounced to be the
best shipper by twenty-nine growers, while
ten recommended the Parker Earle and
eight the Warheld. The most productive
varieties were named as follows: The
Crescent received "a votes; Wilson, -;
Warheld. IA; Haverland. II; Parker Earle.
H. Bubach. Z; sharpless, a; Burt, 2, and
others !.
The Michel was found the earliest OF
the early varieties by 30 persons. the
Crescent by 10, the Wilson by u and the
Bubach by g. The Parker Earle was
by - persons and the Candy by lG
Some 20 growers pronounced in favor
of the Wilson as the best all around straw
berry, Is were in favor Of the Cres-
cent 10 in favor of the Bubach, 10 for the
Haverland, 10 for the Warfield, for the
Parker Earle, 3 for the Atlantic and for
the Sharpless. Taking this testimony to-
gether. the Wilson is the most popular
berry in the above section.
About Raspberries.-We picked some
very fine Shaffer colossal raspberries on
the S1st of July. One berry measured over
three-fourths inch In diameter. The large
size was due to the fine rains we had on
the 18th and 10Th of that month. There
are a few Greggs large and fine, also.
They grew on shoots that grew from stubs
of the main stalks we cut off early in the
spring. This is our remedy for anthrac-
nose. The disease attacks the stalks that
grew the previous summer and causes
the fruit to wither. but the shoots that
grow from their stumps, when cut Off in
the spring, are not injured by the diease
and bear a fair quantity of very fine fruit,
that natures week or two later than that
on the main talks.
cur Wonder raspberry vines, like orange
trees, have blossoms. and green and ripe
fruit growing together. This variety is
well named 1t is wonderfully productive,
of wonderful good quality, and the fruit
continues TO bear wonderfully late. We
once picked fine berries from the vines in
October, after heavy frosts had destroyed
most all vegetable life. An objection TO
the Wonder is that it does not propagate
without considerable care in putting down
the tips. Its tendency is to bear all the
time.
Tomato Soy: Take a bushel of ripe to-
matoes, cut them in slices and skin;
sprinkle the bottom of tub with salt;
put in a layer of tomatoes and salt until
all are in the tub. Cover the top with
thick layer of sliced onions; let staEd
three days; turn into a large kettle; set
over the fire and let boil very slowly for
eight hours; stir occasionally to prevent
sticking. Take from the fire and stand
aside over night In the morning strain
and press through a wire sieve; add four
pods of red pepper, chopped fine, an ounce
Of ground cloves, two ounces each
Of allspice and black pepper. Return to
the kettle; set over a slow fire and lei
boil until very thick and smooth. When
cool put in small jars and seal. Soy is
an almost unknown sauce to modern
housekeepers, but was found in the pam
try of all southern housekeepers sixty
years ago.-Ladies' Home Journal.
Tomato Sweet Pickles, by A. -. CT
make a tomato pickle that is liked by
every one who has tasted them. even by
people who do not like tomatoes In any
other manner In which they can be served
Use green tomatoes, well grown, but
not beginning to ripen. Peel them like
peeling apples, and have a pickle, equal
parts by measure, of sugar and good
vinegar, spiced with cinnamon, cloves and
allspice, heating. Put the tomatoes In
porcelain kettle or stone jar, and when the
pickle boils pour 1t over the toma toes
and let stand until next day; then heat
the pickle and pour over the tomatoes
again and let stand another twelve hours
or so. Then put al on the stove and
boil until the tomatoes are tender enough
to be palatable, but not cooked to pieces.
Lift out the tomatoes with a perforated
dipper into another kettle and set where
they will keep hot while the pickle boils
to a syrup. Then heat glass fruit cans
by holding them over the hot stove. with
the bottom quite close to the top OF the
stove "a quick and reliable method. which
