Moisture and Strawberries.

A bulletin Of the Ohio experiment
says: Although strawberry plants will
not thrive where the soil is perma-
nently wet, they do require an album
dant supply of moisture, both during
the growing and fruiting seasons. The
non-observance Of this requirement is
the occasion of heavy losses. In the
first place, the ground for strawberries
is often left until planting time before
blowing, anG breaks up in clods, occa-
sioning much labor in preparation
with harrow and roller. Although it
may be possible to put such soil into
fairly good condition for planting, the
water which has been lost cannot be
restored, and weeks may elapse before
sufficient rain falls to keep the plants
alive. 1t has been shown that more
than 1,500 barrels OF water, per acre,
may escape from unplowed ground in
one week, in excess OF the quantity
which will pass off from an equal area
which has been piowed early and har-
Over, the ground which has been
plowed late will continue to dry out
during the season at rate in excess
Of the early plowed. This shows plain
ly that early blowing and frequent har-
rowing are essential, in order to retain
the soil moisture, even though planting
may be delayed. The difference be-
tween fall and late spring blowing is
still greater than between early and
late blowing. especially as affecting the
capacity of the soil to retain moisture
during the season. The best prepara-
ton for a strawberry bed is fall
blowing, where the soil will admit, and
if not then as early in the spring as the
ground is fit to work. The prevention
OF escape of moisture from the soil
during the growing season is also i'm
portant, and this can be accomplished,
very largely. by frequent cultivation.
especially after every rain. 1t is quite
as important TO stir the soil after light
showers as after heavy rains. Retain
ing of moisture by mulching during the
fruiting season Is no doubt q more
practicable method than cultivation.

WOMEN SMOKERS.

sex Using Tobacco.
A recent writer on the subject of
Women Smokers" has something to
say that may prove interesting reading
to dramatists, stage managers and
theater-goers generally, says the New
York Telegram Here it is:

smoking full-havored cigars. y
The peasant women, especially in Ire
land and Scotland, enjoy their whiffs

bacco. No! I'm not advocat-
ing the use of short clays among the
wide class covered by the word ladies,
but for the life OF me cannot see what
harm is done to these peasant women
by the process of putting off their
cares in their own way. In the best
houses nowadays when cigars are
handed around to the gentlemen ciga-

territory is concerned, without making
some trial of them. In making such
trials there should be means for COM
parison. II the station reports that
given variety of corn did best In its
tests, and a farmer should plant all OF
his land with this, he would not know
whether the increased or decreased
yield compared with that of previous
years was owing to the variety or the
season. 1t is the business Of the sta
ton to try experiments which farmers
could not afford. But there are many
experiments which farmers may make
with little increased cost. Thus, many
trials at the stations showed better
yields from planting moderately early
rather than very early; from planting
a larger number of kernels per acre
than most good farmers think adyisa-
BILE; from planting small growing yari-
cites in rows closer together than Is
best for large varieties; from giving
shallow and level cultivation rather
than deep and ridged cultivation; from
planting rather shallow early and deep
er in late planting. Other trials have
seemed to show that very frequent
cultivation does not repay its cost; that
it is important to cultivate as soon as
may be after rains: that deep cultiva-
ton while the stalks are small may be
helpful, if followed by shallow culture.
Many of these things could be tested
on any corn growing farm. A trial for
one year is not enough, as the results
might be different If the seasons were
different. Feeding tests on farms are
not so conveniently made, as they may
make it necessary to have separate en-
closures for stock. But a more salts
factory opinion can be formed as to
whether Poland Chinas or Duroc Jer-

Comparisons on one farm than
by comparing ones hogs with those Of
his neighbors. Many tests seem to
show greater profit from full feeding
pigs until they are ready to be sold
rather than keeping them a longer time
in growing conditions" In many
cases direct comparison can easily be
made.

Purchase OF a Stallion.

Having been asked for an opinion re-
garding the purchase of a stallion. and
requested to state whether l should adj
wise such transaction under present
conditions. or await further develop
ments in the way of renewed confidence
and higher prices, we submit the fol-
lowing: At a not very remote period it
appeared to be the prevailing opinion
among those persons interested in the
welfare of the light harness horse in
dustry that one of the most certain
methods of securing competency was

words, their plans suffered a miscar-
riage, or else died abornin'. Many an

BILE piece of horse flesh. as "he cost me
$4,000 at Gen. Blue Blood's. in Ken
lucky" Such recommendation was
all that was needed eight or ten years
since in order to make most any kind
Of stallion profitable. There were
hundreds of colts sold by Kentucky
breeders and dealers, at what would
now be termed fabulous prices, that
paid for themselves and their breeding
the first season they were shipped
north. And yet the majority OF these
colts would be worthless were they
placed upon the market today as geld
ihgs, while as stations, no one would
class them as such. 1t may be possible
that we'll bred stations can be pur-
chased as cheaply in the future as now,
but we doubt 1t. To owa a

a few owners have been able to make
such a showing. while still fewer have

more profitable than others. Such men
