To Secure Vigorous Strawberry
Plants,

More attention should be given the
production of good, strong runners to
Strawberries, SO as to secure choice
plants next year. The strawberry makes
the effort to propagate itself both by
seeds and runners. 1t does both, it is
true, but it can be made to excel in either
direction. If one row is left for the pur-
pose of producing runners only, which
can be done by picking off the blossoms
so as to prevent iruiting, the vines will
throw their whole effort into the run
ners. The additional runners, which are
liable to start from the first ones, may
be pinched off, which will give greater
vigor to the main ones. The soil should
be worked fine and loose, and fertilizer
should be applied on each side of the
mother plants by making small rows
and then covering the fertilizer, while
fertilizer may also be applied on the sur
face OF the row. Plants produced in this
manner, and set out next spring, will
grow rapidly, and when the time APP
proaches for fruiting and producing run
ners, marked difference may be noticed
in comparison with young plants pro-
puced in the ordinary manner from vines
that have yielded fruit Philadelphia

Memorial day. Everywhere the day is
practically considered a legal holiday.
but only in the number of states men,
toned is it so by law. Most persons con-
slider it as what is known as national
holiday. Surprising as the fact may
seem, there is no such thing as a ma
tional holiday. There is no provision in
the constitution of the United States
that permits such thing, Congress has
from time to time recognized certain
special days for business purposes, but
not even the presidents proclamation
of Thanksgiving day makes it legal
holiday in any state unless the legisla-
ture of that state has SC signifed by
legal action.
1t needs no presidents proclamation,
no legislative action, to make the Unit
ed States observe Memorial day. The
descendants of the airs, 304 soldiers
who constituted the Federal armies
which fought from 1851 to 1856 need

slider sacred duty. The $40, 61O MEM

MEMORIAL DAY ABROAD.

memorial day in Europe is making
Roadway, principally through the influ-
ence of the large number of wealthy
Americans who now reside in most Eu-
ropean cities. Though many of these
have ceased to be Americans in spirit
and have in many cases succumbed to
their environments, the members of the
respective colonies celebrate such bat
ties as those of Gettysburg and of Ap-
pomattox by banquets and other social
festivities and thus aid in creating an
atmosphere favorable to the great
American holiday. Were there no colo
nv of wealthy Americans in Paris for
example the grave of Lafayette would
have been forgotten long since by his
own countrymen. The Representatives
of both nations meet in common rever-
ence over the grave of Lafayette and
in the evening usually celebrate by
dinner, where toasts are given and re-
sponded to and where eloquence and
wit find apt deliverance.
In the same way in England the
American Memorial day is crowding
out of remem brance that of Nov. 2,
which has from time immemorial been
fixed by the church as the day devoted
to the departed dead. 1t is a season of
gloomy weather and of biting cold, when
people find it hard to be out of DOORS
much more so to visit those lonely and
darkened streets of metropolis which
are the very opposite in respect of site
and cheerful surroundings to American
cemeteries and which one can afford to
visit without carrying around with him
an awful foreboding Of the hereafter.
The countries outside of the United
States, however, where the American
ideas of Memorial day have made most
progress are naturally Mexico and Can
ada. Since Diaz has practically become
the dictator of Mexico, May "a is as
regularly celebrated in the City of Mex
leo as is May 80 in Chicago or New
York. The Mexican celebration is even
more elaborate in some respects than
ours, and invariably those American
soldiers who fell in 1S47 are always in
Guided in the ceremonies. The Mexicans
extend the celebration usually over
three days, and, besides costly floral
tributes, a government military band
accompanies the processionists, which
pours forth strains of delicious music
With the dawn of Memorial day a
steady stream Of people pour into the
cemeteries from daylight to dusk. Flow
ers are SO marvelously cheap the graves
present the appearance of being one
vast field bed of variegated colors, and,
as with US, the day is national holt
day, and general light heartedness
pervades all the people, which in more
somber Europe would be regarded as
sadly in keeping with the solemnities of
the occasion. New Orleans Times

Cure for Hog Cholera.

J.W. Davis. farmer and hog broader
OF Lamoille, ILL.,, says there is no need oil
farmers having hog cholera among their
hogs. He has never had any-at least
not since he found out the cause and
how to remove it. He says hog cholera
is caused by fever and the fever by
worms, which two teaspooniuls of sal
eratus dissolved in water and poured
into the slop will remove. When you
notice a hog not doing well, when it
refuses its food and begins to look
scrawny and sick, the chances are 90 to
100 it has worms. If you kill one and
examine it, you will find bunch of
worms in its intestines perhaps as large
as your fist. These cause constipation
and fever, which kill hogs. Oftentimes
the worms will eat through the intes-
tines into the stomach. Dissolved salera.
tus in proportion of two teaspoonfuls to
every gallon of water will kill the
worms, and almost Immediately your
hogs will begin to thrive and look we'll
again. Warsaw Bulletin.

ROpiness In rIiIk.

Ropiness is fault OF milk which does
not necessarily depend Tor it's cause on
the health of the cows. 1t is said to be
caused by any one of several different
species OF bacteria. ] have found BAG.
illus lactis viscosus to be the cause of
viscld milk in two different creameries.
In the two outbreaks investigated, the
trouble was found to be caused by the
use OF milk utensils which had not been
sufficiently scalded. The bacteria re-
naming in cans which had previously
contained viscid milk were able to sur
yive the washing and remain alive to in
feet new quantities of milk. Greater
care in scalding utensils brought the
trouble to an end
All small utensils were immersed in
boiling water for three minutes and the
larger cans were filled to the brim with
scalding water, which was allowed to
remain for the same length Of time. A
thorough investigation of the sources
from which the bacteria might have
entered the milk at the stables and of
sources elsewhere failed to reveal the
presence of Bacillus lactis viscosus.
Nevertheless, from the work Of Adametz,
there is reason to suspect that during
warm weather these particular bacteria
get into the milk from water.
The Importance Of thorough scalding
OF vessels which have once contained
ropy milk is urged upon the consumer as
well as the dealer. Bacteria may readily
be transferred from running water to
milk by the agency of mud, which, dry
ing upon the udder, may be dislodged
during milking. Milk utensils which
have been used for containing water
should be scalded before using again for
milk. The apparent purity of water
used about a creamery gives no assur-
ance that it is free from bacterial Rulle-

years to turn it from holy day to a
