clover or some other crop for a mulch

crop has made some growth in the

heavily upon the moisture in the soil.
One plOwing in the spring will usually

Soil for Strawberries.-Thei ideal soil
is where a clover sod has been manuretl
and a crop of potatoes raised the pre-
viOus year. Corn stubble under same
conditions is good if the strawberry
rows are run between the old corn
rows. If they arc run on the ton. the
old corn hills are apt to be caught by
the cultivator and the plats loosened.
Clover sod is very good, but liable to be
infested with grub worms; besides. ii
there are any clover seeds left in the
ground they are likely to grow and
prove troublesome. Whatever ground
is used, it must be well manured and
made ready to set in good mechanical
condition. If manure is used, it should
be we'll rotted and cultivated in the

D,eteetc v.Iue Of Honey.

Probably most people consider honey
as the equal in value for food of any
sweet sauce-no better, no worse. All
should know that it possesses one great
superiority-ease of digestion. The
nectar of flowers is almost wholly cane
sugar. The secretions added by the
bees change this to grape-sugar. and
SO prepare it that it is almost ready
for assimilation without any effort on
the part of the stomach: In fact. Prof.
A. ]. Cook once styled honey "digested
nectar" 1t will be readily seen that
honey is a very desirable food for those
with weakened digestive powers.
a person is very tired, too exhausted
to eat" it is astonishing how a Few
tastes of honey will act like magic. Al
most no effort is required to make 1t
ready for assimilation. Persons SUI
fering from some forms OF kidney
trouble will find that honey is much
more beneficial food for them than IS
cane-sugar.
In eating comb honey, many strive
to reject every particle OF wax, fearlng
that, as wax is indigestible, nightmare
and other troublesome consequences
will follow an indulgence in warm bis
cult and honey. 1t is true that bread Is
more easily digested than warm biscuit.
as the latter is inclined to pack" IN
chewing. but it may surprise some to
know that comb-honey is really an aid
to the digestion of hot bread or bis
cult. The philosophy Of the matter Is
that the flakes of wax prevent the
packing" while the honey readily dis
solves out, leaving passages for the gas
trio juice to enter the mass of food.
The fakes of wax are indigestible, that
is true, but when warmed are perfectly
smooth and soft and will not injGre
the most delicate membrane; in fact.
they act as gentle stimulant. and are
beneficial in some forms of alimentary
difficulties.
The unpleasant symptoms from
which some suffer after eating honey
may often be removed by drinking a
little milk.-W. 4. Hutchinson, in
Country Gentleman.

Progress of the Plow.-The plow is
not a perfect implement, and a reward
Of the entire globe might safely be Of
fered for any work of art that is perfect
in all its relations. Now the plow, in
cluding the first picked stick that was
used for seeding operations, is the old
est implement used in agriculture, and
in every advanced step Of the industry
it has not only kept pace but has really
led in its march. Step by step in his
growth may be read the relative condi-
ton of man from beyond the period O:
the pyramids down to the latest cleo
trical plow, which is still leading in the
van of the worlds onward march.-Ex

That Country Presents Its Historical Case
on the Disputed Boundary.
WASHINGTON, March 1l.-A valuable ad.
dition to the literature on tn, subject Of
the Venezuelan boundary controversy has
been made public here through the issue
Of an official history Of the discussion be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain on
the Guiana boundary" This is part Of
the cuse prepared by the Venezuelan lega-
tion for presentation to the United States
commission. As its name indicates this
volume is strictly historical, and in no
place does 1t exhibit o line Of argument
outside Of the diplomatic notes exchanged
in the past.
Chronologically the volume covers notes
and correspondence as far back as l822
and the history is brought down to in
clude the celebrated Olncy note of last
July, the two responses Of Lord Salisbury,
the message Of President Cleveland to
congress on the subject Of Venezuela, and
the joint resolution passed by congress
authorizing tho appointment Of the Amer
lean commission to define the true boun-
