Planting ? strawberry Patch.


j. NJ. Ingling, of Illinois, writes;
Any soil which will grow a crop of
corn will produce strawberries, but of
course a clay sub-soil of reddish color
is best I prefer timothy or clover
sod. Plow five inches deep very early
in March. Drag or roll, as this as
sists in rotting Work until this is
like garden. With light marker
having three runners three feet apart,
I lay the land off crosswise. Then
beginning on one side, stretch a No.
IA plain wire. Insert a brick layers s
ten-inch trowel TO its full depth, and
phil slightly toward yourself, pick up
plaut with left hand by the leaves and
with downward forward sweep drop
in at back of trowel with thumb and
forefnger, firmly holding the heart of
crown. Withdraw the trowel and as
you do so press the ground firmly
about the plant, pulling it up slightly.
This excludes all air and firms the

set every third plant fertilizer, or
one fertilizer and two female plants.
As soon as plants are set, if no rain
has fallen, run roller over them and
follow with light harrow.
Cultivate crosswise twice before
runners bother, then do all cultivat-
ing lengthwise, drawing runners in
until you make a perfect or solid row.
Keep the field clean. I work plants

One has said there is a child's hand on
the door Of the millennium. If that be so,
let US give the child power to open the door
and enjoy the bliss OF regained paradise
by removing the saloon, which is to mill
ions the gateway TO the city OF destruction.
And while we thus teach the youth the
principles of total abstinence from all that
can intoxicate, let us as true patriots re-
member that as the liquor traffic came by
law il must go by law. We may sing "Res-
cue the Perishing" ever so sweetly, and
"Work for the Night Is Coming" ever so
often, but the traffic will still flourish and
fatten upon our dear ones. We may pray
ever so fervently that God will remove the
stumbling block, but the walls of this
modern Jericho will remain as solid az
ever.

From an article on "How to Handle
Breeding and Laying Ducks" by
James Rankin, in Farm Poultry, the
following is taken:
Too often the health of the young
bird is injured by the improper feed
ing of the mother bird during the lay
ing season.
The food should consist of the
proper ingredients, aud quantity just
what the bird will eat clean, and no
more. Grit is absolutely necessary,
and is one of the essentials. We not
only keep it, together with cracked
oyster shells, in boxes constantly by
them, but mix it in ther food.
They must have something during
their confinement during inclement
weather to enable them to assimilate
their food. One ingredient which we
consider of the greatest Importance is
green food, which should compose
nearly one-fourth of the whole. We
have some two acres of rye, eighteen
inches high. This is cut three-eighths
of an inch long and mixed with the
food.
When there is prospect of snow we
cut large quantities of this in a frozen
state and pile it up on the north side
of building. 1t will not heat in this
condition. Shoald this be used up,
and the ground still be covered with
snow, we have several tons of fine
clover rowen stored for the purpose,
which we consider next in value to
the rye, so that we are never out Of
that material for feeding.
We also grow about a thousand
bushels of turnips, which we steam
until they are soft, and mix them in
the food. This the birds relish
highly.
The first point is to start in Will
good breeding stock. Birds thai
have been inbred until their constitu
tions are completely debilitated are il
no condition for reproduction.
Strains that do not begin laying
until March or April are more or lest
Improbable, because when thei
young are ready for the knife the bes
of the spring market is gone, and tn,
grower must take reduced price 70
his product. In this, as in man,
other cases, "the early bird catche
the worm"
My formula for feeding breeding
and laying birds, when fertile eggs ar
desired, is as follows; For breedin
birds (old or young, during the fall
feed three parts of wheat bran, on
part of Quaker oat feed, one part cor
meal, five per cent. of beef scrap, fv
per cent. of grit, and all the green foo
they will eat in the shape of cor
fodder cut fine, clover or Oat fodder
Feed this mixture twice a day, a
they will eat
For laying b.cSs, equal parts {
wheat bran and corn meal, twenty pc
cent. OF Quaker oat feed, ten per cen
of boiled potatoes OF turnips, tiftee
per cent of clover rowen, green ~
or refuse cabbage chopped fine, fiy
per cent of grit. Feed twice da
all they will eat, with lunch of cor
and oats at noon. Keep grit an
ground oyster shells constantly /
them.
We never cook the food for OF
ducks after they are week old, bl
mix it up with cold water.

From the remotest times women
have loved to adorn their fingers with
rings, aud some of the mummies
found in the Egyptian pyramids had
their fingers literally covered with
them Sometimes these rings were
of gold, but at others they were of
glass, pottery or brass, according, no
doubt, to the wealth of the wearers.
A ring is bestowed in marriage be
cause it was anciently a seal by which
orders were signed, and the delivery
of the ring was a token that man
gave the bearer of it power to act as
his deputy. Thus a woman, having
her husbands signet ring, had power
to issue orders as he himself would do.
