BERRY PLANTS IN AUGUST.

Mr.. NJ. A Tdayer sends us the fol
lowing: A berry plant in yielding it's
fruit; maturing it's seeds and produc
ing new growth, is much exhausted.
In fact, the life of each bud, stem and
cane is given in this effort The ma
turity of fruit buds on new canes comes
after this exhausting work, and unless
good care is continued to develop and
perfect the same, the succeeding crop
is greatly impaired. The natural moist
ure, too, is much less at this season,
and must be retained in the soil by fire.
quent shallow cultivation. The strong
canes must be stimulated by removal
of the weak ones, and all surplus
growth cut away. Remember, the care
egiven fruit plants this season, practic
ally determines the product next, both
in quality and quantity. Never allow
your interest in the fruit garden to
lessen because the fruit is gone. Never
neglect that spot from which you should
receive more for the labor performed
than any other portion of the farm. A
fruit plant is as sensitive to good care
as stock on the farm or members of the
household, and should be treated as
well. Strawberry beds for the family
should be made as early as new plants
from new beds can be obtained. Pre-
pare for them now. Extra care is neces
sary for August setting. The good
nurseryman will take extra care in
digging and shipping plants, packing
so they will not heat or roots become
dry. When received, dip roots in a
thick compost of dirt and manure-not
too strong-and set at once. Be par
ticular to have moist dirt firmly pressed
about the roots. Rake or hoe around
plants often. As buds appear on new
runners, cover them lightly with moist
dirt, thus producing new plants. Con
tinue this process until row is well
filled, and you may then expect nice
lot of straw berries next season. August
setting is not recommended for large
acreage or careless growers. -Farme. g

.HORTICULTURE
FORMULAF FOR KEROSENE EMUL-
SION.

This formula for a kerosene m llsion
was given by a profes sor in one of our
agricultural colleges some years ago,
and I was re quested to experiment with
it on green house plants, says writer.
I did so. with highly satisfactory re-
suits It is made as follows: Two
parts of kerosene, one part of slightly
sour milk Churn together until a
union of milk and oil results. When
they unite white, jelly like substance
will be secured, which will mix readily
with water. Dilute this jelly with 1S
or 20 times it's quantity of water, and
shower your plants thoroughly. Soft
leaved plants. like begonias, primroses
and gloxinias, are frequently injured
by it, applied in the strength advised
above; therefore it is well to dilute the
applications by using at least 80 parts
of water to one of the jelly.
