Berry Culture.

Every farmer should raise enough
berries to supply the family all the
year There is nothing more delicious
and healthy than strawberries, rasp-
berries and blackberries and no other
crop on the farm pays 30 we'll for the
small outlay and the land they require.
September is the month to plant them
and when this is properly done, good
crop can be grown the first year.
A northern slope that will drain well
is best. A great many make the mis-
take of getting the soil too rich for
strawberries and get big crop of
vines with but very little fruit. Land
that will grow good crop of corn is
just right and when properly planted
and cultivated, will always produce
plenty of fine berries. The soil should
be cleared of all weeds and rubbish,
well pulverized with disk or cultivator
and harrow and then plowed deep and
thoroughly pulverized after blowing.
Mark rows three feet apart and set the
plants in deep, putting a half-pint OF
water with each plant and packing the
dirt firmly about the roots. Late in
the fall they should be mulched with
clean straw, marsh hay or corn stalks
In the spring hoe or cultivate shallow
but not after the plants begin bloom
ing, as it will cause them to rust.-Fruit

The JJntruthfui Mummy.

We saw only the cute gardens and
the museum, the chief attraction OF
which is a magnificent marble sarco-
phagus decorated with bass-reliefs of
Alexander the Great. On one side the
conqueror is represented as routing the
Persians, and on the other side there
is a lively struggle with a wild boar.
The guide book does not certify that
Alexander ever occupied the sarcopha-
gus, but the guide assured me that he
had. The collection of statues, bronz-
es and sarcophagi is interesting and
immensely valuable, and | would like
to copy some of the descriptions from
the guide book, but space forbids.
One Egyptian mummy case had a
Stranger forbear" kind of an inscrip-
ton on it. The guide furnished me
with liberal translation. The king
on the inside of the case, "swathed in
spicery and fine linen" had caused this
injunction to be placed on the lid Of
his sarcophagus;
do not disturb these mortal re-
mains, for there is naught within this
easement except my poor body. There
is neither gold nor precious jewelry to
reward the covetous."
The antiquarians who unearthed the
sarcophagus did not respect this appeal.
When they examined the mummy
wrapped inside Of the box they found
several pieces of gold clasped in the
right hand. which proves that an Or
ental will lie even after death.-Egyp-
tian Correspondence to the Chicago
Record.

Small Flock System.

The poultryman who keeps a small
flock OF poultry in village yard is very
apt to think that be could do much better
if he was on the farm where he could
have larger buildings and not be oblig-
ed to confine his fowls in yards,
We have tried both ways, aud we
think now that if we had farm as large
as the State of Rhode Island, every hen
and chicken should be enclosed in a
yard with wire fence around it, so
that they could not get out, or dogs
and foxes could not get in.
And the yard should not be so large
that we could not easily look over ii
every day to SEE that there were no
sick hens. and that none were lying
outside of the house. We might have
two yards for each flock we had space
for them and if we had no other bust
ness to attend to we might have sever
al fiocks, but they should be kept sep.
arate every day in the year.
Nor should we want more than
twenty-five or thirty hens or chickens
| in one flock, which would not require
very large house or yard. We know
that this would make larger outlay
necessary for the same number, but we
believe extra profits would repay that
and it would have the advantage that il
roup or other diseases began in one
flock it would not spread to others, as
it does where there are several flocks in
one long house.
Another advantage of the small
house and small flock system is that
one may begin in small way and in
crease each year, as his income from
them would warrant and his experience
demonstrated his ability to handle 6
larger number.
This is the way most OF our scccess
full raisers of poultry have begun ant
grown up, while we have known som'
to begin on large scale and come on
very small.-Fancier's Review.
