..'Tis true, the farmers of this part of
Iowa have a heavy crop on their
hands to take care of-they have a

How To use the rivers and canals that
run through large cities. and yet ptovide
safe and simple bridges for them, has
long been a puzzle to civil engineers.
The new Van Buren, street bridge in
Chicago shows some novel ideas in con-
struction. and will doubtless be model
after which many win be built. Imag-
inc two enormous. elongated pears so
tipped over toward each other that their
stems meet. and you have the founda-
ton principle Of this bridge The meet
ing point Of the stems is the railing Of
the bridge. which is of the usual height.
Now tip these pears back upon their
blossom ends. and the shape Of the
bridge when open is approximately
given. This form of construction has
advantages. in that no one can drive
through the draw or stand on the
bridge, as the tracks elevate to some
thing more than an angle Of forty-five
degrees. The preponderant weight rests
on very heavy stone piers, and when
tipped upright there is none Of the ire
mendous leverage which is a perpetual
strain on those built after ordinary
plans. The opening leaves the entire
width Of the channel free, and there is
no danger Of collision Of masts or Of diff
ficulties on account Of the narrow1ess
OF the waterway.

A gymnasium and other well-paved
buildings have been uncovered at
Eretria. as well as three Inscriptions,
three heads. and some good architec-

the theater has been nearly completed.
The excavations among the ancient
Greek ruins at Eretria have been
carried On some years by the American
School Of Classical Studies at Athens
The gymnasium and other buildings
which have been uncovered are prob
ably part of the lslildings on each side
Of the ancient street laid bare last year
between the theater and the naval
school Of King Ohio.
When the houses found last year
were cleared floor Of cement and peh-
bles was discovered about yard be-
low the surface The well-paved build
ings mentioned by Mr. Peabody are
doubtless OF a similar construction.

Never let the weeds get a start. but

Planet Jr., cultivator. and think it's the
greatest labor saving cultivator ever
made. In very rocky ground. and when
the plants are small. | usually take off

quently and thoroughly, but be care
full and not hoe too deep.
One of the most important items of
strawberry growing is the distance the
plants are apart at fruiting time. be-
lieve that six or eight inches by one
foot in the matted row system Will give
as good if not better results than to
have them closer. II is easier TO tell
how the plants should stand than TO
make them stand just that way. l
think that as rule berry growers are
too afraid Of spending money enough
on their plantations to obtain best re-
suits.

rles and blossoms on a single plan. that

Even if this plant would only ms ire

would begrudge that Plant even a
square foot Of ground? The best and
cheapest way that l 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 well established. good.
strong plants, and then LIT only four
runners form on each plart Train the
first two runners lengthwise of the
row, so that YOU will have single row
OF plants one feot apart, then let each
plant make two more run c-.. and hen
train al 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 viii bear berries in
piles, instead of few little stunted
berries, as we often see in matted
rows where the plants stand not over
an inch apart. The greatest mistake
that l have made has been in allowing
plants to mat too closely, but l intend
TO thin heroically in the future. and l
expect that every cent thai spend on
my patch will be doubly repaid me in
fine large berries that VIII sell at the
