PROFIT IN STRAWBERRIES.
Some Interesting Statements From
the Kansas Station.

The strawberry Is one of the most
profitable crops ever. introduced on
Kansas soil, according to the station Of
that state. which presents the follow
ing case in order to support the state
ment: Last spring a gentleman set in
his garden in Manhattan 1,O25 straw
berry plants of the following varieties:
Wartield, Parker Earle, Robinson,
Beder Wood and Bisel The plants
grew in matted rows and covered one
fourth of an acre. The plants grew
well, the ground was cultivated fire.
quently, and during the winter a
mulch of clean straw was kept on the
bed. The yield to this date has been
2,46O boxes and will reach 5000 boxes
by the time the crop has ended. The
setting of the plants. the cultivation
and the picking have mostly been done
by the family, so that the only outlay
was for the plants and berry and crate
boxes. The first 400 boxes sold at 1215
cents per box, the remainder at 10
cents. The following is the record:

The pickers who We're hired We're
paid at the rate of a cent per box. Els
timating at this rate for the whole
crop and allowing SIS for labor of set
ting the plants, cultivating and mulch
ing the bed, we have left $199 for the
quarter acre, or a very handsome rate
of S196 per acre. No irrigation was
employed Another case is recorded
where the profit was at the rate Of
$SO442
Speaking generally, the most favora-
BILE location for strawberries for the
local market is right in the city on va
cant lots, where the city waterworks
provide sufficient water for irrigation
of small tracts. Besides having a wa
ter supply, the berries are near the
market, and the cost of delivery is
small.
Intensive culture is the only profita-
bic method of culture in strawberry
growing. Try the recommended va
rieties until you have found the best
and then discard all but three or four.
Give the ground thorough preparation
and have the soil rich Use good,
strong plants in setting the bed and
after that cultivate well and water
when the plants indicate the necessity
of it. During winter cover the whole
bed with a mulch of clean straw. In
the spring this can be mostly removed
from the plants and placed between
the rows. On the whole, the best sue
cess comes from setting new bed
each year. Old beds can be renewed,
but the labor required is often greater
than that required to set the new bed,
while the greater profit nearly always
comes from the new bed

Story of n wiIa nov.

The story of Peter, the wild boy" Is told on the brass erected to his mem- ory in the parish church of North church, Hertfordshire, England. The celebrated Doctor Arbuth1ot made special study of Peter. but failed to make anything of him, and, when the novelty of his appearance had worn off and he had been induced to wear the garb of civilization, he was pen- stoned off and sent to the village of Northchurch. But he retained his vag- abond habits and gave his guardian much trouble by wandering off to dis. tant counties. As he could not speak or make himself understood of stran- gers, this propensity for straying brought him into trouble, and he was sometimes arrested as an obstinate beggar who would not give an account of himself. Thus it was that a brass collar, engraved with his name and address, was fitted to his neck. He is said to have been fond of music, and he used to dance to express his delight at the sound of musical instruments. His tombstone is still standing near the doorway of Northchurch church. When he died he was 72 years old.

saIted the Giant Powder

If you never had mine salted on you," remarked an old-time Colorado miner recently, you have missed half of your chance to get good expe- rience.
 Did you ever have it happen to you?" asked the stranger from the East.
 Yes, my very first lesson cost me S5000, when I bought mine in Lead vile that had been tunnelled into the mountain side for nearly 200 feet. I had heard of the trick of salting prop critics, so after the man showed me what there was in sight he invited me to go right ahead and blast out several feet in order to satisfy myself, which did, and the ore seemed to be just as good as it was when he was working 1t. Of course I bought it, and then it never paid a cent--it was salted."
 But how could they salt three or four feet into the solid rock?"
 There was the trick of it. They didn't salt the rock, but put gold colors Into the giant powder, and as long as that lasted there was gold in sight,

A MAMMOTH SPRINGS MAN HAS INVENTED
 ONE
MODEL ON EXHIBITION
On Exhibition at the Commercial League (Ft. Smith)
 Rooms.

There is on exhibition at the Com merciaI League rooms the model Of a cotton picker which is attraeting a great deal of attention and interest, says the Ff.Smith News-Record. It is the invention of Dr. David $ Deader lek of Mammoth Springs.
 The picker is composed of two large wheels on the inner surface of which there are card cloths. In the center there is q ow.shaped con- trivaBce which is called thespreader. When the machine is in motion the spreader is run between the cotton rows. It forces the cotton to the sides of the card cloth which is con- stantly moving upward aud when it reaches the top it is met by the s steel wire roller revolving in a direction opposite to the movement of the card cloth and is forced into a con veyor and is moved along to the rear end on a sliding leather slip and dropped into bags attached to the two conveyers.
 There has been no practical dem onstration of the correctness of the principle aside from that exhibited by the model itself which has been hauled through miniature cotton fields, and the manner of it's work ing has inspited the belief if is cor rect as to make up and will prove just the thing wanted. The con struction of the picker is not at all complicated. sThe constructive parts are few, so there is little liability of it getting out of order

Ancient War songs.

Julius Caesar had his men sing songs of triumph after a victory and some of the verses are in existence to-day. Edward l. had the Welsh bards put to death because he thought they melted the soldiers to battle. In Spain many traces of Roman war songs are to be found. Spanish and Portuguese war songs were called romancers. The Cid. written in the twelfth century, has aI- ways been the martial inspiration of the Spaniards What the Cid is to Spain the Roland is to France The "Chanson De Roland" has been sung since the eleventh century, and has 1.5QQ yegsess ssssa. :

Some Points Which Prove It to be soli-
 tary Animal.
 All the cats habits show it to be by nature a solitary animal. Even Tn early life, when family ties bring out the instinct of association, this is ap- parent If you compare the play of puppies with that of kitten you will find in one case that companionship of some kind is essential, for if puppy has no playmate of his own species he will always try to make one of the nearest biped; whereas a cork or @ bit of string is all that is necessary to sat isfy the requirements of the kitten Tho way in which the eat takes it's food is Q sure sign that in it's natural state it is not in the habit of assoeiating with greedy companions.
 When given something to eat 1t first carefully smells the morsel, then takes 1t in q deliberate and gingerly way. and sits down to finish it at leisure. There is none of that inclination to snatch hastily at any food held before 1t which we observe even in well train- ed dogs, nor does a cat seem in any hurry to stow it's goods in the one place where thieying rivals cannot interfere with them. Indeed, no greater contrast ln natural table manners can be ob- served anywhere than when we turn from the kennel or the plgsty and watch the dainty way in which cat takes it's meals That a cat allows peo- pie to approach 1t while feeding with out showing jealousy proves that 1t does not attribute to human beings like tastes with it's own.
