George r. Maxwell corps held its
regular meeting on Wednesday, with a
good attendance. Three members were
admitted by initiation and business
of Importance was transacted. The
handsome silk quilt now displayed in
Auerbach's window was the handiwork
of some of the earnest workers. The
tickets are for sale by the members.
The quilt will be ratified later, when
enough tickets have been sold.
The monthly social in the evening
was a pronounced success: An enjoy
able programme, both literary and
musical, was finely rendered and clio
tied hearty applause. The various
numbers were as follows:
Original poem by Mrs. l.. S. Dickin-
son, as published in the Worlds fair
book of poems.
Club swinging by Master Harry
Schenck, accompanied by Miss Lola
Cochler.
Recitation by Miss Margie Mulvey.

The members of No Is turned out
in force last Monday evening, and wit
messed the initiation of Brother Reese.
Several out of town brothers were pres

man Nicholson, of Capitol lodge No. 2,
Helena, Mont.
Brother Nicholson states that at
present there are $500 worhmen in
Montana and that No. 2 has $40 of that
number.
A good story has leaked out about
Brother Abe Randolph, who is known
as the rus.ler of No. 10. Abe has al
ways got his eye peeled for a prospec-
tive candidate, and a short time ago
met gentleman whom he thought elig-
1ble TO become a member of No. 10.
Abe is a terrible talker and he worked
with this gentleman for over an hour,
explaining the benefits, etc, and when
he got all through, and was certain he
had secured a candidate, he was calm
ly informed that he was a past master
workman of No. IS, and had been a
member for over seven years. (Total
collapse of Abe.)
No. Is assures the committee on the
Ogden trip that they will easily fill the
special car allotted to them. as all the
members have signified their intention
of going.
In spite of the bad weather the ladies
of the Degree of Honor held their meet
ing last Tuesday evening and had 120
members present; eight candidates were
initiated and the applications of five
received. 1t is stated that quite a dis

RUNNING FOR EXTRACTED HONEY.

If the market is local should not
advise running exclusively for ex-
tracted honey. 1 once visited an apiary
which was run for extracted honey and
all of it was sold at home. The pro-
prietor said he could not supply the
demand. But usually there is a local
demand for a fancy article of white
comb honey. This is only produced
during a good flow and when the
hives are crowded with bees. Then
the comb will be so delicate as to be
scarcely observable when eaten. The
owner of a large apiary says: 81 have
barrel of extracted honey 1 got it
from colonies that would not have
made any comb honey" This verifies
the statement of Langstroth that bees
refuse to build comb in the fall during
nights, even when there is plenty of
honey to be had in the fields, but they
VIII gather and store in empty comb
If they have it. The barrel of honey
was taken from the outside combs of
colonies, and they refilled them in the
fall, so 1T was a clear gain. The bee
keeper often sees an opportunity of
getting 5 or 10 pounds of extracted
honey from colonies where there is no
chance of obtaining comb honey.-Mrs.
L. Harrison in Farm and Home.

sHAKEsPEARE AND SLANG.

An enterprising correspondent to the
American publication. s'Shakespeariana,
has been showing that the Bard of Avon
is the father of more than one slang
phrase now held in disrepute in certain
circles. For instance, in "Cymbeline."
Gii. g. 3D. Imogen, defending herself to
Pisanio, says accusingly to her husband:
Some jay of Italy
Whose mother was her painting, hath
betrayal him.
Most of the instances of modern slang
cited from Shakespeare are mere verbal
condolences. like too thin" which some
body has traced to Henry VIII ", 8, 125.)
But know l come not
To hear such 1attery now, and in my

metaphor. as it continued to be in speech
and writing until recently. when by vul-
gar iteration it lapsed into slang.-I.iter-

PLANTING POTATOES.

1t viii soon be time to select the seed
potatoes and prepare them for planting.
Indeed, this may be done at any time
now, and by taking the opportunity of
warm spell of weather. when the frost
is out of the ground, to plant for the
early crop. TnSs is safely done by plow-
ing deep furrow and covering the seed
fully eight inches by a double furrow
thrown over it. This will cover them
safely from the frost that might injure
them otherwise, and the root growth
will be starting, so that when the warm
weather of actual spring arrives, and the
ridges made over the seed are leveled
down by the harrow, the shoots will soon
be seen above the surface. Then, if dan
ger of late frost appears, it is very easy
to save the plants by throwing a light
furrow over them by hand plow. This
may be done anyhow with advantage, as
the earthing over the plants will kill N.Y.
riads of young weeds, cleaning the
ground and encouraging rapid growth
of the crop. The latter planting may be
done in June, while the early planting
will be within month or less of matur-

FARM AND GARDEN

off the sawed surface to make it
smooth, SO the wax will stick closely.
Do not attempt to insert the gratis in
very large limbs, because the wounds
will be large and not heal over easily.
Better cut a little higher, but in no
case more than six or eight inches
above fork, to prevent having long
'shanks." A method which / like
above all others in grating small
branches, about the size of a pencil to
that of ones finger, is the tongue graft
illustrated by the accompanying draw
ing. For larger stocks up to nearly or
quite an inch and a half, the cleft
graft with sloping cut on both sides,
but principally on one side, like the
illustration, is preferable. The wound
will heal up much better than if the
stump is cut square off. 1 like one
graft better than more, unless the
stock is quite large, as two or more
make bad forks 1t may do to insert
and let more grow than are needed to
help heal the wound, and then cut out
the merit spring.
In setting the scion the main point
is to have the inside of the bark of
both stock and scion coincide, for it is
there that the vital union begins. l
often give the scion little inclination,
so these parts are sure to cross or
come in contact. Trim the scions with
a long, slim wedge which is a little
thicker on one edge which is the one
to be set on the outside where the ten
sion of the stock will press the more
tightly. Bandaging is necessary
where the stock is weak, and the wax
ed cloth is just right for this Waxing
should be most thoroughly done.
Nut trees should be, whenever pos
sible, grated about four to six inches
under the ground and banked up to
nearly the top of the graft, because
the scion cannot so readily dry out as
when set in the open air. No waxing
is necessary in such cases. The scions
of nut trees should be held back by
keeping them in a damp refrigerator
or in the sawdust in an ice house so
they will not start until the stocks are
at least partly leafed out This al
most insures them to succeed as well
as other grafts.-H. E. Van Deman,
Late United States Pomologist, in
Green's Fruit Grower.

THE BEST sEED POTATOES

The best way to cut seed potatoes is
a problem upon which no two farmers
agree and concerning which number
farmers generally. as well as by ex-
pertinent stations. Results at all the
stations have been carefully studied
by ]. F. Duggar, who concludes Far-
mers' bulletin No. 80, United States de-
partment of agriculture) that it is
more important to cut the tuber into
compact pieces of nearly uniform size
than to so shape the pieces as to have
a definite number of eyes on each set.
No piece should be entirely devoid of
eyes, and the majority of the seed
pieces should be large enough to sup
port at least two eyes, and better three
or more" The yield from planting the
seed or bud end is larger than from the
stem or butt end of the tuber, the eyes
on the seed end being first to germi-
nate, and hence of especial Importance
when an early crop is desired. The
total yield increases with every in
crease in the size of seed pieces from
the single eye to the whole potato; this
increase occurs both in the large and
in the small potatoes, but chiefly in
/ IHS LIE LSI yISlQ VI VIC
potatoes increases with every increase
in the size of seed piece from one eye
to the half potato. The half potato
affords a larger net salable crop than
the whole potato. Taking the av-
erage of many experiments, it was
found that for every 100 bushels of net
salable crop grown from single eyes.
there were ia bushels from two-eye
pieces. 131 bushels from quarters and
139 bushels from halves, but only 129
bushels from planting whole potatoes.
These results favor the use of halves
as seed pieces if seed potatoes and
crops are assumed to be of equal value
Per bushel, but when seed potatoes
command very high price, quarters
may be used to advantage. II is bet
ter to place in one hill one large piece
than several very small ones of the
same aggregate weight. Small pdta-
toes can sometimes be used for seed
with profit. in which case they should
be planted whole Leading growers are
careful to select for seed medium to
large tubers of good shape, and their
example should be followed"

STRAWBERRIES PROFITABLE.

No matter whether strawberries are
planted in the new way or after the
old approved fashion, if the right kinds
are planted and taken good care Of,
the crop can be made one of the most
profitable of all fruit and garden crops.
Strawberries need high manuring and
high cultivation. The half rations of
manure and The half cultivation that
are usually and grudgingly accorded
to them will only give a half crop Of
inferior berries. The money is in full
crops of well-developed fruit The

THoROUGH HARROWING.

OF all the work done on the farm,
the narrowing is the most neglected,
the most sighted. 1t is a general prac-
large or small, before any narrowing is
done, writes E. S. Teagorden in the
Farmers Union. 1t is usual to see a
field covered with clods after blowing
and before narrowing. 1t is impossible
to grow a good crop of any kind Of
grain or grass on clods, and to harrow
down clods and make the surface mel
low before heavy rains come to melt
and soften them is not easy.
1t is important that the narrowing
be done as fast as the blowing, or so
soon after that no time is given for the
soil to dry out Sometimes only a few
hours is required to so dry out the soil
that when il is narrowed the surface is
left covered with small clods and it is
impossible to get the soil into such a
fine state that is absolutely necessary
to insure the best results. A good plan
is to harrow just before noon what has
been plowed in the forenoon, and in the
evening what has been plowed in the
afternoon. This prevents drying out
and if the narrowing is we'll done the
soil is fine and in a condition calculat-
ed to produce the best crops
The blowing should as a rule be deep,
so that the moisture of rains and melt
ing SHOWS may be soon absorbed and
carried down INTO the earth, where it
will be stored for use when needed at
the surface, when it is brought up by
the capillary action of the soil. If the
blowing is deep each season and the
subsoi1 plowed occasionally-that is,
once in three years-the narrowing
should be such as to make the soil fine
as deep down as it is plowed. This is
a very important matter, as the roots
of the plant require a fine and we'll
compacted soil to do their best work in,
as they go down to a greater depth
than blowing is ever done. So, if the
soil is made fine as deep down as it is
plowed, the roots will find ready access
to the plant food deposited in the soil.

the plants. run through the patch
few times with the cultivator, and soon
after midsummer cease all work
among the berries and let the plants
have their own way. In the fall the
ground is crusted over and covered
with plenty of small weeds, and the
young runner plants, instead of being
stimulated into healthy and strong
growth, have hard work to just make a
few roots and live. 1t is folly to ex-
pect much from patches thus treated.
The cultivator should be kept going
until fall. We use plenty of wood
ashes on all our small fruits, and if
we don't have wood ashes we use
muriate of potash; too much of these
fertilizers can hardly be used for
Strawberries. It is true that even the
Indifferent grower, with his careless
methods, gets far better returns from
his strawberry patch than from any
of his other crops, and that he is salts
ged that strawberries pay" Still, the
ordinary returns can easily be doubled
and trebled with a little more atten-
ton to manuring and cultivation.
STRAWBERRY VARIETIES. = The
great number of new varieties which
have been introduced during the last
few years is bewildering; not only be-
wildering, but actually soaring us out
of one of our favorite pastimes, name
ly, the testing of novelties. To try
them all is too big task for one that
has a good deal of that work to do
anyway, and to test only few of them
is hardly worth the trouble. But while
1 could not say which strawberry is
the best, 1 can name several that I
know are reliable and usually salts
factory everywhere. One of them is
Bubach (No 81, the other is Haver-
land.
We find the last named enormously
productive and rfpening from early to
late, thus extending over a consider
able period. Often the latest berries
are as large as the earlier ones. This
strawberry will do well enough for a
near or local market. That is also the
case with the Bubach. Both varieties
are pistillates, and need some perfect
Towering variety, like Beder Wood,
Lovett, or even the old Wilson, near
them to furnish the needed pollen.
With all the newer introductions, and
many of them 50 highly lauded by in
terested and non-interested parties, we
do not feel that we can get along with
out Bubach and Haverland.-T. Grei-
ner in Farm and FireSide.
