WHY FARMERS DO NOT IMPROVE
In DAIRYING.

Not one in fifty, even among
the men who keep cows and pre-
tend to be dairymen, subscribe for and
read a dairy paper 1t is very likely under
SUCH circumstances that many do not read
thoughtfully, but the great trouble with
them is that they read scarcely at all ON
dairy. questions. OF course it Is true that
Wnen farmer shuts up his mind in dark
ness concerning modern ideas in dairying.
keeps away from what other and better
posted farmers know on this matter, he
cannot thrive in these times in uairying
All that goes without saying but how are
We TO get this farmer that will not read
nor put himself in contact with sound
dairy thought TO see his loss?
Ihere are millions of farmers who keen
COWS for priht, or think they do and vet
not more than one in ten reads a dairy
paper. Every sensible man knows thar
they are losing hundreds of thousands
OF dollars every year because they will
not Keep better posted. But how are we
gong to induce a man to read who don't
want to read? 1t is SO all over the United
States. The men who read and keen in
touch with sound dairy ideas are about
one in a hundred. We have been trying
for twentysix years to get the farmers of
United States to take enough intelligent
interest in dairy questions TO even read
about them, but it is only here and there
one that thinks it will pay. This indiffer-
ence to their own best interests is why
hard times grind so many of them as
under an iron wheel. The reading, think
ing dairy farmers are not complaining to
any great extent. w. D. HOARD.

PLANT STRAWBERRIES FOR BOTH
FAMILY USE AND MARKET.

If there is a reader of this journal who
has bit of land and has no strawberry
patch thereon, let him remedy that omis-
sion the coming season. If he has had
no experience, IIIe questions he will natur-
ally ask are as follows: How and when
shall / plant them? What varieties shall
l plant? How many shall 1 plant TO FUR
nish a generous supply for family of
six?
Taking all things into consideration, the
best time for planting is as early in the
spring as the ground can be worked,
all through the spring, summer and early
autumn. Plant them in rows three and
one-half or four feet apart, the latter is
preferable, and about fifteen inches apart
in the rows. The ground should have
received a generous supply of fertilizer in
some form and should be thoroughly and
deeply worked. Keep the cultiVator run
ming occasionally between the rows to
keep the weeds down and use the hoe and
the hand for the same purpose in the
rows. The runners will soon begin to
grow and in the autumn you will have
solid matted row of plants, leaving only a
veni2nce in working and picking. When
the ground has frozen solidly in the
winter, give them a mulch of coarse stable
manure, straw or refuse of any kind TO
protect them from the frequent freezing
and thawing which will otherwise take
place. Uncover them in the spring icay-
ing the mulch between the rows where il
will, before the season is over, become
Incorporated in the soil.
1t is hard to select varieties to suit
every location. The pistillers, as a rule,

DOES FARMING PAYs

The query is a very common one, and
is discussed every day, and it is very
seldom we hear two individuals give the
same answer. Farming may be made
a success or failure, at the option
of the farmer, says J. w. Delk, in the
Epitomist If the farmer concentrates
all of his energy. studies his business, lays
his plans before commencing his crop and
works to them, he certainly will be re-
munerated for all his extra pains and
labor. On the other hand If the farmer
reverSes things and pays no attention
whatever to his business, makes nc cali
culation of how much land he is going
to plant, what crops are best adapted
to his SOIL and when and how he is go
ing to plant and cultivate, but just leaves
the whole business to chance. may rest
assured that he will not be overburdened
with work when the harvest season
Genes. We have learned that to be
farmer one must farm in winter as Wels
as summer. He certainly cannot wait
till planting time before making any pre-
paration, one must stay with the farm
to make 1t pay, and not only stay with
it. but give it his undivided attention.
A man cannot be a book, fruit tree or
patent churn agent and farmer and
make success of both 1--WE may say
either. In these times or agricultural
depression, of financial stringency, OF
hign-priced money and low-priced labor,
it does not seem that farming is not payS
ing a very large per cent. for the capitaf
and labor invested. But what business
is paying even a moderate per cent? We
have not found it. Although the present
may look rather dark. we have all con-
fidence in farming as q profession, and
fully believe that agriculture is now. and
will be, far in the indefinite future, the
noblest, most heaithful and most indie
pendent pursuit that man ever engaged
in We think that farming, when car
ried on with the same skill, economy,
intelligence and determination that char
acterizes other industries is as paying, as
sure, and as eminently satisfactory as any
other honest calling.

are most productive. Among the best Of
these are Bubach, Haverland and Tim
brell, though there are scores of Others
Among the perfect Powered varieties are
Parker Earle, Cumberland Triumph,
Grandy and Shapeless. all of which are
good and productive. This list could also
be largely extended. OF course, the bed
must be of both sorts, if pistillates are
used at all.
AS to productiveness, one may safely
assume that a good matted row, 100 feet
long, will produce not less than % quarts
of berries, if given good culture. One
hundred and fifty feet may be counted
on to furnish $50 quarts, which would
give ten quarts a day for a season Of
twenty days and leave 100 quarts for
canning and preserving, about what such
a family would find desirable. 1t is better
to have a surplus than a deficiency. and
so we would counsel row of zoe feet.
If wood ashes are. available, give the
plants in early spring, before blooming
a liberal dressing of them. The straw
berry needs plenty of potash in order that
it may do its best.-American Agricul-

day by day the lessons of patriotism are
being instilled into their young hearts,
and the ladies of the corps wish to ex-
tend to both teachers and children for
their cooperation in this good work their
most hearty thanks. In spite of mud and
rain, several ladies, members of the Max

comrades, and forty members and friends
of the relief corps by planting thereon

Elder B. H. Roberts spoke for nearly

in part to be error.
