the Alameda sailed from Sydney, the
office of the Oceanic Steamship COM

Hundreds of letters were being receiv-

land of glaciers and treasure and for
information as to the best way to get
to it. The letters were coming so fast
that it required the time of several
clerks of the Office to attend to them
and to facilitate their work a lengthy
circular containing the general infor-
nation that was sought was prepared
and copies of it were sent to inquirers.

NEW YORK, Oct. ga dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: Spain's
reply to the note of the United States
limiting at mediation in Cuba and re-
questing an answer before the end of
this month, was placed today in the
hands of the American minister here,
Gen Woodford. The draft of the reply,
made by Foreign Minister Gullon, was
unanimously approved yesterday by
the cabinet The communication is
courteous in tone, but very determined
in rejecting the purport of the Ameri-
can note. Spain resolutely asserts her
determination to settle the Cuban QueS-
ton herself without foreign assistance
or interference of any kind. She de-
clines to fix any date for the pacifica-
ton of Cuba, which she purposes to
bring about as she sees fit by force of
arms and by political reforms culminat-
ing l.. autonomy combined. While re-

Strawberries In Maiae.

"A. J. A." of Fort Fairfield, Me-,
wants a strawberry adapted to north
ern Maine. He has an acre Of grass
land which he would like to set to
strawberries.
So far as climate Is concerned straw
berries that do well elsewhere may be
expected to thrive and fruit in northern
Maine. The plant is hardy and at home
over a wide territory. Some varieties
do best on light soil. others on heavy
clay or stiff loan. 1t is usually best to
plant such varieties as are known to do
well in the vicinity. Consult nearby
growers having similar soil. Send for
catalogues to all who advertise in this
paper and compare notes. But do not
think of setting out an acre of pur-
chased plants this year on land that Is
now in grass, especially If you are new.
in the business. You would probably
lose money mad labor. Grass land is
often infested with worms that destroy
strawberry plants before they get
rooted.
This crop needs land that has been
cultivated at least year and cleaned
of insects and weeds. 1t can hardly be
too rich. Then good plants set in
spring and kept clear from weeds
through the season should yield full
crop the following year. If you have a
small piece of fairly clean. old ground
would advise setting a few dozen
each of the best known varieties and
watching their behavior during the
summer and the next year when in
fruit.
If good care is given the plants the
first year you can get a stock of new
ones to set the following spring. Con-
siderable saving can thus be made in
the cost, for you can raise plants
cheaper than to buy. Home grown
plants are sure to be freshly dug; not
one should die from transplanting. ]
would by no means discourage one
frcm planting strawberries but would
have you do the work in such a way as
to bring success. If you set large lot
this spring on unprepared scotland you
will not have one chance in ten of get
ting satisfactory results. Among the
varieties worthy of trial are Crescent,
Haverland. Greenville, Lovett, Miner,
Marshall, Parker Earle. Warfield, Lead
er. Beder Wood, Beverly, Brandywine.
