Renewal of Small FruI. rmt..

Will II pay to continue strawberry

ponds much on the condition of the bed
at the close of the frulting season. II
the ground is rich, the rows well filled
out, the crop light, and nearly free
from grass and. weeds, 1t will then usu-
ally pay to continue one, two or more
years. II, however, plants are ex-
hausted by a large yield, and grass and
weeds have been allowed to grow, it
will be more work to place old beds
IN condition than TO prepare new ones.
If to be discontinued, plow at once and
SOW some late crop for feed or fertil-
ity. To renew old beds, NOW oil plants.
AS soon as dry burn over, reduce rows
TO six or eight inches in width with
spade or cultIvator. Remove all weeds.
every particle of grass, apply liberal
dressing OF fine manure, cultivate and
keep clean same as with new beds.
Right here is one of the great bene-
fits of keeping new beds perfectly clean.
Ii saves a large amount OF labor when
beds are continued more than one
year. Old beds produce berries a little
earlier, and second year is often better
than the first, when treated in this
manner.
The bearing canes OF raspberries and
blackberries should be removed i'm
mediately after fruiting. Cut out all
small weak CAFES, leaving only five or
six in the Hill. The removal OF old
canes leaves no hiding place for worm
or bug, or eggs for same. 1t also al
lows the free circulation of air and
the sun penetrates the center of the
bush, making canes strong and vigor-
Gus with a good development of fruit
buds for the following season. 1he
removal and burning OF all dead, weak
and surplus growth is the best pre-
yentive against disease. In berry
growing, remember that good work for
TWO seasons is necessary. First, the
most important, to grow, develop and
mature strong, healthy canes, vines
and buds for next seasons fruit. Sec
ond, to mature the fruit, which de-
ponds very much on the care and
growth of the previous year. Favorable
seasons for fruit are of little avail If
the preparatory work has been ne:-

The United States consular reports
from Berlin state that Prof. Linde of
Munich has invented a method of
liquefying air at cost of "a cents for
each five cubic meters of air reduced.
In Prof. Lindes method an air pump
of five horse power condenses air to
a pressure of 200 atmospheres; this q q
passes down e spiral tube and is eX-
panded into chamber, causing great
cold then it rises and passes on the
outside of the spiral tube, bathing 1t
and thus cooling the new air that has
been pumped into the tube to take it's
place. This cooled air follows on in
to the chamber, expands and again
lowers its temperature, then passes on
up around the same spiral tube; but as
It's temperature has become much low
er, the new air in the tube is still fur
Their refrigerated. This circulating
process goes on until the new air
pumped into the tube reaches the ex-
pansion chamber at temperature Of
27e degrees below zero, when 1t drops
into the chamber in the form of liquid.
Thus the air, steadily cooled, is made
to refrigerate the newly-pumped air
Isore and more, until the necessary
degree of cold Is attained.

The Improvement In the orchards or
Michigan since the peach yellows law
was enacted has come, believe, more
from the increased Intelligence aud
skill of the growers than from the in
fuence of the law. The orchardists in
that section grow their trees more
carefully and skillfully than formerly,
they use chemicals instead OF stable
manure, plant only On soil well adapt

fully understand that it does not pay
to grow peaches on weakened trees
any more than It. does other fruit, I'M
der the same conditions, and especial
ly so when young and vigorous trees
can be grown up to fruiting size In
three or tour years. These causes alone
are sufficient to account for all the
Improvement reported which could
have been brought about by the grow
ers themselves and nearly ali VI the
expense attending the execution of the
provision Of the law saved. Some
credit may be gwen the law for this
Improvement, but "a great principle is'
involved that should not be violated
and many believe such laws uncons1-
tutional because NO wrong has been

Soil Mulchea.

Soil mulches are very useful in the
conservation of moisture. They also
effect its location, tending to dry out
the lower layers and keeping the sur
face soil more moist. AS has been t..g-
gested, mulches retain the moisture.
Forests, by their mulehes of leaves
prevent floods. Dry earth is the most
practical mulch that farmers can use.
Experiments prove that shallow and
not too frequent cultivation prevents
loss of In lch more moisture than no
cultivation, and also more than daily
cultivation. Growing crops prevent
much evaporation by shading the
ground and lessening the effect of the
wind. Frozen ground is a good mulch
for the time being, but it leaves the
moisture so near the surface that on
thawing, 1t soon evaporates and is lost.

This agreement, which covers more

Educated Farmers.-If a person will
take the trouble to investigate the mat
ter he will find that the prosperous
and successful farmer Is the educated
farmer. About century ago the most
of the people thought that grubbing
hoe and jumping shovel pillow were
about all the tools necessary for the
farmer to possess. And If he was the
owner of a wagon and yoke of cattle.
with which to haul his produce to mar
ket, that he was right in the process
sion.' Such farmers with their old
time ideas and ways are fast falling to
the rear of the procession when they
come in competition with the edu-
Gated farmer. The old-time farmer
will reason thus in regard to his boys:
Now William don't seem to take an
interest in the farm. so l guess I'd
better send him to school, give him a
good education and make lawyer or
doctor out of him. while John sticks
to the farm like bee to a sweet clover
blossom, so 1t will not be worth while
to waste any honey sending him to
school, as he will be farmer just like
his dad.-Ex.

There has been lot of fun poked at
the new dog-muZzling law in Eng
land, and a lot of denunciation of it,
says the New York Tribune. But here
are some figures: In 1889 the muzzling
order was made and kept in force un-
til 1893. In 1889 there were 312 cases
of rabies, in 1890 there were 129 and in
1892 only 3S. The order was then re-
voked and in 1893 there were SO cases,
in 1894 there were 24S and in 1895 there
were 672. 1t seems difficult to escape
the significance of such facts.

Peach Yellows.

Below is given the ideas on peach
yellows In Farmers Bulletin No. II.
by Prof. Erwin f. Smith, the gov
eminent specialist and perhaps the
best authority on peach yellows in
the country: There has been much
speculation respecting the nature of
this disease, inasmuch as climate and
soil do not seem able to originate a
plainly communicable malady, and no
fungus, bacteria or animal parasite
has been identified as the cause. At
present peach yellows seems nearest
allied to that phenomenon In plants
known as variegation. 1t Is now rec
ognized that variegation In many
plants Is a disease manifesting itself
In stunted growth. imperfect assimi-
lation, FASTENED development and fee
BILE vitality. Moreover, in a number
of plants. &. jasmines and abutilons,
this condition Is transmissible to
healthy stocks by budding or grating
In the same way as peach yellows.
The contagiousness Of the disease can
not be proved until the juices OF a
diseased tree be introduced into a
healthy tree or a specific germ h dis
covered and separated into pure cul-
lures and then introduced into q
healthy stock, thus producing the dis
ease. as is done with tuberculosis In
animals or the fire blight in the pear.
That the disease OF condition at first
appears on one or two trees only and
that other trees ere affected later, is
no proof Of its Contagion. for all the
trees will die sooner or later, general
ly within Is years. unless very care

BAD Law and mad Sense in This.


Dealing editorially with the recent
decision OF Philadelphia judge, which
practically declared that under any and
all circumstances the bicycle, as the
lighter vehicle, should give way to all
others, the Baltimore News has this TO
say: THE general principle laid down
was that the lighter vehicle should
make way for the heavier. This Is in
itself quite a righteous principle, but
it's application is questionable. The
cert was within the street car tracks,
going In a direction opposite to the
cars. That is, 1t was on the wrong side
of the street, where it had no right to
be. The bicycle was also on the street
car track going In the direction in
which the cars were going. That is, II
was on the right side of the street,
where it had perfect right to be. 1t
is principle in law ethics as old as
civilized courts that one must himself
be blameless before he can accuse an
other of doing him wrong. The prin=
ciple that the lighter vehicle should
give way to the heavier could give the
heavier vehicle no right to break the
law by going on the wrong side OF the
street, and then claim right of way over
a vehicle which was exercising its clear
legal rights. The rule could only APP
ply where the rights of the vehicle to
the positions which they held were
otherwise equal. 1t may be earnestly
hoped by wheelmen that this decision
Of Judge Wilson will promptly be de-
clared by higher court to be what 1t
is, bad Law, bad justice and bad common
sense"

VINTAGE LATE
A Good Product Promises But Small
Returns

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The
California vintage is later than usual,
but will be superior to any since 1882
while the drying crop will be the largest
the state has produced since the bonanza
year of 1893. The total vintage is esti-
mated at from 150O0,O00 to 20, 900 900 gall
Ions. The price, however, will probably
be low owing to competition among the
big corporations handling the product.
The Sonoma county vintage is the fin
est ever known. The berries are fat and
clean. Three million gallons of capacity
have been added, which will permit the
vineyardists to store all the wine which
will amount to about 6,250000 gallons.
Last season the product of Santa Clara
county was 100000 gallons, which has
been increased this year about 25 per
cent, bringing it up to 100000. Some
damage has been done by the vine hop
per. but as rule the quality Of the wine
Is good
The Livermore valley sustains its
high standard of excellence and this
season will exceed its last years yield
Of 100000 gallons.
In Napa county, although there has
been some planting Of resistant stock,
1t has not kept pace with the ravages of

is good and the yield will be about ], 500

that among the sudden influx of people
there were many bad characters and
previous to the arrival of the Bear open
threats had been made as to what they
