Improved Strawberry Culture.

As culturists become more familiar
with the requirements of the straw
berry plant, and especially where it is
properly grown on small areas, they
learn that while moisture is essential
it does not of necessity mean the EN-.
ployment of elaborate systems of irri-
CATION in order to make it successful.
The necessary moisture is most easily
secured and especially during the
first season, by attention to the proper
details in the preparation of the soil
and in cultivation. Early spring
planting for new beds and early spring
cultivation for beds already set are
important, for to allow the soil to be-
come dry in the spring beyond the
point necessary to get it into good
workable condition is to take great
risks in strawberry culture. Early
and continuous cultivation saves the
moisture to an extent not appreciated,
for it has been i'll excess of that from
cultivated ground to an amount equal
to an inch and three quarters of rain
fall in one week. AS well-known
strawberry grower remarks: ga man
with team and sprinkling cart would
not replace the water on an acre of
land as fast as it escapes by evapora-
tion from the soil when it goes off at
that rate, if he had to haul the water
one-fourth of mile" Low prices are
likely to rule for the next season or
two and yet there will be money in
strawberries if they are grown on the
intensive plan aud the market sup
piled with the high grades of fruit in
fair quantities, rather than the in
ferior fruit in larger quantities.

How to Prune Fruit Trees.

It is lamentable fact that not one
man in hundred, fruitgrowers in
cluded, knows how to prune a fruit
tree properly. In the first place,
fruit trees re luire very little prun-
ing, and the old idea that large quan-
titles of the inside branches should be
cut out "to let in the air and sun
shine" is nonsense. The pruning Of
trees should be done on scientific
plan in SO far that there should be a
good reason for every cut that is made.
Every lioeral bearing frnit tree sends
out little branches or spurs on the
sides of all limbs and small branches,
and these should never be cut off, nor
should they be injured when the fruit
is being gathered or in any other way,
for these spores produce the fruit buds
for the coming seasons crop. Every
tree which needs pruning should be

New Varieties of Potatoes,

In choosing varieties of potatoes for
spring planting it is advisable to Sc
lect those that have been recently pro-
duced from seed, provided, of course,
that their quality and productiveness
have been tested and are generally
known. The variety that is newly
produced from seed is generally more
vigorous then than it is likely to be
after few years contest with the po
tato bugs, and the blight and rots
which all help to decrease potato vigor
and productiveness. But it is not
advisable to plant potatoes, however
good, which are very unlike standard
sorts, and whose good qualities are
not generally known. There is so
much difference in potatoes that the
mere fact that potato is a po- ato is
not enough with most consun ers to
secure market for it until after they
have given it a trial.

Growing Caulihower.

Considerable effort has been put
forward by some writer's to make it
appear that the success sful growing of
caulihower was difficult operation,
but as matter of fact any soil that
will grow good cabbages will grow
good caulihower. If early crops are
wanted the seed must be sown in Feb
ruary and transplanted into shallow
flats as soon as the sesond leaf shows;
the soil in the fat should be rich. Air,
water and keep at the same tempera-
ture as for young cabbages. Plant in
the open ground as early as possible,
not later than the middle of April, if
it can be avoided. The soil should be
rich and deep, using handful of fine
bonemeal mixed with the soil about
each plant as it is set. Cultivate care
fully each week. Hot weather Injuries
the crop greatly, so to be successful
with it one should grow only for an
early and late crop, avoiding the
mid-season crop. For the late crop
the treatment is about the same as for
late cabbages. The main points to be
observed in the culture of cauliflower
is 10 have the soil rich and to keep it
we'll cultivated during the season of
growth.

a Checkerboard Fish.

Joseph Evans, of Thirteenth street
and Snyder avenue, is the owner of q
very queer looking fish. 1t is four
feet long and has tail two feet in
length, which is spotted and striped,
like a snake. Evans caught the fish
in an oyster dredger while at work on
the oyster boat Mary Colman. 1t
lived nearly day out of water and
caused no end of trouble before it fin
ally collapsed The skin of the strange
inhabltant of the deep resembles a
check erboard, being uniformly colored
with black and blue squares. Mr..
Evans intends having a glass case
made for the pretty creature and will
exhibit it in his parlor. Several scien-
titic men, who have seen the fish, are
at loss as to how to classify it, and all
of them agree that "what-is-it" fish
would be the proper name for it,

morning with tepid water, followed by
brisk rub. This is equally as i'm

is to use water freely inside and out.
At least two quarts of water daily
should be taken; half pint the first

night, a cupful of warm water before
each meal, and the remaining guam

''boiled down" in the same way.
Iu shadow is the casting shop, ex-
cept when the doors are raised, when
a flood of light, wave of extreme
heat, is thrown out. In the dusk of
the shadows grimy men raise the sea
of fetal with long bars. The master
melter, never still, steps now and then
to his wheels, set at one side of the
furnace and looking like the brake
| wheels on freight car, and gives one
or the other sharp twist. By this
he regulates his fre-hve hundred de-
grees at twist. The silica bricks
with which the furnace ..is lined can
stand four thousand degrees of heat
and more before they commence to
melt. The master melter runs up the
heat to the extreme point and then
lets it down.
There are three ''heats" day in the
casting shop. Three times metal is
heated, three times it is let go with a
mighty rush into the casting pot. The
last few moments of each heat are the
| dramatic instants. It is then, at the

the furnace is fed with medicine, "

Potato Planting.

It is said that two ounces corrosive
sublimate dissolved in one gallon of
water in an earthen vessel of some
kind and this turned into tight bar
rel with fifteen gallons of water will
make preparation that will destroy
the germs thatproduce the scab on the
potato. If the seed potatoes are put
in sacks and one sack full at time
be dipped in this diluted solution un-
til the potatoes are entirely covered
and allowed to remain one and one
half hours, the germs will be destroyed.
Tne potatoes should be then removed,
drained and spread out to dry, and
when thoroughly dried they will be
ready to cut and plant at any time.
AS the solution is very poisonous it
should be kept in earthen or wooden
vessels, as it will quickly corrode iron,
steel or tin. The amount named will
be sufficient to treat from five to eight
barrels.

Cure Enund for TickR.

The bureau of animal industry has
just made its annual report to the
House of Representatives. Some of
the points discussed are of particular
interest to stockmen. Part of the re-
port reads as follows:
''Probabiy the most important work
of this bureau during the year has
been the experimental study of the
effect of different substances in de-
stroying the ticks which spread the
infection of Texas fever. For long
time it appeared as though no mixture
conld be obtained which would kill
these parasites without severely injur-
ing the cattle which were treated.
Recently it has been found that q
petroleum product known as para fine
oil will destroy the ticks without
greatly irritating the skin of the ami
NAL to which it is applied 1t is
thought that by dipping the cattle
twice in this oil, with an interval of a
few days, all the ticks will be destroyed
and the animals, even from the in
fected district, may thereafter be
shipped with safety to any part of the
country. If this hope is fulfilled, the
dipping of cattle from the infected
districts soon must become general,
and will save millions of dollars to the
southern states. At present such cat
tie must be kept separate and in quar-
antine pens, and sold as quarautined
animals at less price than they would
bring if they were free from such re-
striction. The general dipping of in
fected cattle would prevent the infec-
tion of cars and stockyards, and en-
able this bureau to prevent the dis
semination of Texas fever with less
hardship to the owners of cattle, and
with greater safety to the stock inter
est
can effort also is being made to
prevent the losses from disease known
as 'blackleg, by distributing to the
owners of herds where such losses
occur vaccine that will produce inn
munity. The ravages of the disease
in some of our states have become
discouraging to the owners of cattle,
particularly to those who have en-
deavored to grade up their herds and
Dfeeu tue DeSt GeeI-pfOuucluP va
rieties. Many owners of large herds
have reported annual losses ranging
from eight to fourteen per cent. This
disease appears to be quite easily
prevented by vaccination. Hereto
fore, however, the methods used in
this country have required two vac
cinations, with an interval of ten days
or more, and the trouble and expense
of double vaccination, added to the
cost of vaccine, have deferred many
stock owners from adopting this
method of prevention. This bureau
has experimental with vaccine pre-
pared by special method, which pro-
duces Sufficient immunity to resist the
disease with one vaccination. This
bureau has prepared a large quantity
of this vaccine, and has distributed it
for experimental purposes. BY Sc
curing this material free of charge and
obtaining immunity with single
operation, the method has been so
simplifed and cheapened that cattle
owners who have suffered loss from
the disease in the past are anxious TO
adopt it.

Down on the meadows of the Passaic,
on the shore of Newark Bay, and
within the bounds of the city of
Newark itself, says the New York
Herald, men are working day and
night on guns for the Government.

crest" of an hour OF SO or the replnc-.
ing Of cutter dulled by hours of slow,
steady ploughing through the hardest
and finest steel.
Steel is everywhere, in almost shape
less, oblong ingots, fresh from the
casting room; in forged lengths, in
cylinders, now bearing some resem
blance to ''rapid fire." and in chips
and shavings. There are strange and
interesting scenes in these gun shops
and the pictures presented each hour
are dramatic in the extreme. Here in
these processes is to be seen the acme
of American manufacturing, the great
essential fact being the machinery,
that is almost automatic in it's work,
and the few men needed to control and
guide it.
Except in the forging room scarcely
blow of hammer is heard. The
shops are almost as silent as the grave.
Wheels revolve, cutters turn, men
stand placidly by the side of machines,
moving softly here and there. All
this time, each second, the gun that
some day will belch forth fire and

A Kid-Raising Experiment.

An interesting stock raising expert.
ment was inaugurated Tuesday when
C. S. Onderdonk of Philadelphia took
a lease on the Canada de Los Alamos
New Mexico) grant of Is, 900 acres,
near Lamy junction, which he will at
once stock with goats. Five thou
sand goats will be placed on the land
a once and as many more in the spring,
and if the experiment proves sue
cess other grants are to be leased and
stocked. The OBJ. ect is to produce
pelts to supply kid-glove manufac-
turers. French experts say that north
ern New Mexico and southern Col
orado, owing to the dryness of the
atmosphere and the constant sunshine,
produce fner-grained and tougher
pelts than any other part of the world,
and for this reason gcatskins from this
section command high premium in
the Eastern and foreign markets. st.

Mineral Manures for Grape vines.

Grape vines usually need very little
manure other than mineral, and that
chiefly potash. In European countries
it is the habit of vineyardists to burn
the prunings each year and apply the
ashes. No other fertilizer is used. In
fact, stable manures are objected to,
as they make the vines grow rank, and
the fruit will lack the flavor that be-
longs to fruits whose vines are only
manured with the ashes. Much of
the excellence OF French wines is pos
sibly due to this sparing use of man.

Wherever a mouse has been working

around the cut so that union may be
