A Method Which Ia Reasonably Sure to
Bring Good Results.
In planting Strawberries there is q
right way, and there are number of
wrong ways What we are after in
ordinary culture is to induce reason
able number Of plants to make an early
start, in other words, to have them in
good growing condition before our
usual midsummer drought, so they
will give US a nice matted row: We
find that the earlier we plant after the
land is IN readiness to receive the
plants, the more surely do we reach the
coveted result Usually we can get
better plants in the early part Of the
season than will be obtainable later.
Atmospheric and soil conditions also
are more favorable then. The plants
start promptly, and soon fill the rows
with strong runners. =
The right way of planting always
presupposes the use of good strong
plants. Some Of our nurserymen are
not careful enough In the sorting Of
the plants they ship, and only too often
have we received strawberry plants
that were utterly unfit for planting. If

THE HONEY LOCUST,

/" ns Er"Veu 1ts WIdo AdaptabilIty In q
Number Of Instances. %>' -.
The honey locust has q much greater
western range than the black locust,
and 1t possesses many qualities that
should make it a general favorite. It
has been extensively planted, but has
been used to limited extent only. In
deed' SO far as know, it's only use, ex-
cept tor fuel, has been as post timber.
The wood is hard and takes on q beau
tlful polish, while in color and grain it
Is much more attractive than several
fashionable cabinet woods.
Repeated efforts to grow the honey
locust ut the agricultural college of
South Dakota failed. The young seed
lings grew we'll the first year, but were
KILLED, root and top, tile first win GER.
In northwestern Iowa, twenty-five
miles northeast of Sioux City, there is
fine specimen Of thornlcss honey To-
Gust, and in the grounds Of the Iowa
agricultural college is the handsomest
thornlcss honey locust have ever
seen. Its trunk is about feet in
diameter; the crown is round and we'll
developed, with spread of branches
OF about 80 feet across, and altogether
1t is tree of great beauty.
Prot. Silas Mason, of the Kansas arri-
cultural college, planted a. quantity Of
seed OF the thornless variety of tho
honey locust four years ago, and has q
half-acrc plat of trees from 4 to Q feet
high. Not more than half the trees are
free OF thorns, and there is every gra-
dat1on, from smooth to very thorny
specimens. These thornlcss honey
locusts cunnot be too highly recon-
mended for lawn planting. They give
light, though sufficient shade, and
their finely divided foliage and long
brown fruit pods make them very at
tractive
On the dry uplands of western Kan
sas the honey locust is one of the most
fiourishing trees, as is proven by the
fine growth Of plat OF the species at
Ogallah, where it surpassed the black
locust in size. At Hutchison, in the
moist soil OF the Arkansas valley, it
also makes fine growth. thus proving
its wide adaptability. Thrifty trees
were seen in the suburbs of Denver.
grown under irrigation. Honey locust
grows we'll throughout central and
southern Nebraska. In an eight-year.
old plat at Lincoln specimens twenty
feet high were seen.
A number of years ago the honey
locust was extensively tried as hedge
plant, but 1t does not lend itself weu
to this use. 1t is too rampant a grower,
and no amount of Topping, weaving,
bending and pruning can keep it with

Keeping Fruit Trees Dormant.

The uses Of ''cold storage" in keep
ing meats, fruit and vegetables In an
unchanged condition are well known
but the modification of this process
called "cool storage" as applied to
trees, ETC., is more novel. 1T Is
such an arrangement of packing
house and cellar that all extremes
of temperature are avoided and me-
dium preserved in which nursery
trees will remain dormant for, any
length of time. A western nursery
firm last fall had trees in its packing
houses which had been there twelve
months and were in perfect condition.
Apparently they could be kept through
the winter In the same conditions and

We do not know that the length OF
time trees could be thus kept has ever

METHODS OF VINES.

How Climbers May Re Best Trained in
the Garden.
Climbing vines have many different
methods of attaching themselves to
their support. Some encircle branch
of the post by twining their main bod
les around the support A hop vine is
familiar illustration Of this. More
delicate ones cannot twist around their
stakes, but have to have string or4sim-
liar material to cling to. The ordinary
morning glory is an illustration of this
class; but there are some which simply
climb by twisting the leaf stalk around
the support. This is especially true of
different kinds of clematises, yet it is
not unusual in some gardens to see
stacks as thick as walking canes put
for the clematis to run up on; but, as
it is unable to do this, they have to be
tied to this pole by twine, while the
leaves 60 on twisting themselves in
order to find something to cling to,
and as q consequence the vital powers
of the plant are exhausted. In many
cases the clematis, especially the va
riety known as Jackmanni, will die CON-
pletely and suddenly from the attack
of minute fungus; but it is more
likely that this occurs oftener in cases
as described-for want Of proper means
of support. Thread or twine for the
leaves to twist around, or even q little
brushwood, such as we would give to q
crop of peas, is much more likely to
produce healthy and vigorous elem
atises than when they are deprived of
all means of using their leaf stalks as
tendrils. Monthly.

at the end Of the circuit or term of court
'''At first," relates one of his COL
leagues on the circuit, I'VE wondered at
it, but soon learned to account for his
strange disinclination to go home. Lin
coin himself never had much to say
about home, and we never felt free to
comment on it. Most of US had pleasant,
inviting homes, and as we struck out
for them I'm sure each one Of us down
in our hearts had mingled feeling of
pity and sympathy for him." II the day
was long and he was oppressed, the feel
ing was soon relieved by the narration
of a story. The tavern loungers enjoyed
it, and his melancholy, taking to itself
wings, seemed to fly away.

when he had finished it, speedily found
repetition in every grocery and lounging
place within reach. Hispower Of mim-
1cry, as have before noted, and his
manner of recital were in many respects
unique if not remarkable. His counte-
nance and all his features seemed to
take part in the performance. AS he
neared the pith or point Of the joke or

peared from his face. His little gray

to distribute to the farmers. These were
sent out with Free Soil and Republican
documents. In my efforts to clean up
found that some Of the seeds had sprout-

Office. Judge Logan and Milton Hay oc-

''Lincoln's favorite position when un-

position, with books on the table near

No matter how deeply interested in his
work, if any one came in he had some
thing humorous and pleasant to say, and
usually wound up by telling joke or
an anecdote. I have heard him relate
