Setting ont Strawberries.

BY many October is regarded as the
best month to set out strawberries,
especially in the middle and southern
portions of the cotton belt. 1t is a
hardy plant and will make considerable
growth between this and Christmas.
Select plants from this years runners;
never set out an old plant; an old plant
is easily recognized by having more
or less dark roots, while those of young
plants are yellow. The land should
have been thoroughly prepared and
highly MANFRED. with well rotted COW
manure or with ground bone and kainit
or with ashes in place Of kainit If ashes
can be had. Lay or drills 3 feet
apart and set plants 10 to IS inches
apart in drills. Trim off most of the
leaves and shorten the roots some, II
very long. Puddle roots In mixture Of
clay and water; spread out In furrow,

on them. then fill burrows so that
crowns Of plants will be a level with

never set SO deep that the crown or
bud shall be covered with dirt.-South-

A Story About lngersoll.

Here Is an entirely new story about
the late Colonel Ingersoll, which is
quite as good and fully as genuine as
the usual run of them:
When Ingersoll was a young man he
went into short-order restaurant in
Peoria and called for an egg.
"You are an agnostic, l Think" said
the waiter. who was a college student
In the winter. and had just associated
himself with the restaurant business.
Your habit of thinking has not be-
trayed you this time-I am" replied
Ingersoll.
Then you do not have faith in the
integrity Of this egg?' Quoth the
waiter. j.
Il have no faith in its int-egg- rity,"
replied Bob II have no faith In any
thing. l believe only in what l see,
or In what is proved to me-"
II have faith In the egg" said the
student, and he regarded the colonel
with sad eyes. my faith tells me that
it contains a yolk."
'My doubt admits nothing of the
kind" said the agnostic.
So the student broke the egg, and,
10. 1t contained chicken!
But the fact is the agnostic took an
unfair advantage Of the student
He had eaten at that restaurant be-
fore.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE Of
TERMININo FACTORS m suC-
CEssFuL DEVELOPMENT


In presenting interesting phases Of So
entifc and economic problems, high-class
newspapers frequently give informatioa
Of as great value In their advertising COZ
umns as in those devoted to the publica-
ton Of the principal events of the day;
and when the fame Of q product il ex-
tended beyond its natural limits into for
eign lands, and large demand created
throughout Great Britain and her colo
MES and the principal seaports and cities
Of Europe, Asia and Africa, 1t becomes
q pleasant duty to note the fact and to
tell Of the points of excellence ON which
80 great q success Is based. We refer to
the now world-famed laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, the product Of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company. The merits
OF this well-known excellent laxative
were first made known to the world
through the medical journals and news
papers Of the United States; and Is ONE
of the distinct achievements of the press
1t Is now well known that Syrup of Figs
Is an ethical proprietary remedy, approx
ed by the most eminent physicians every
where, because it is simple and effective,
yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable
TO the system, and not only prompt in its
beneficial effects, but also wholly frss
from any unpleasant after-effects. 1t 10
frequently referred to as the remedy Of
the healthy, because 1t Is used by people
who enjoy good health and who live well
and feel well and are well informed On
all subjects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, It Il
necessary to get the genuine Syrup Of
Figs, which is manufactured by the Call
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only.

John NJ. Smyth Co., located at $50 to 166
West Madison street. Chicago, has been

many years of fair dealing. 1t issues an
immense illustrated catalogue that should
be in every family, as it describes and
gives the price of every article required
for household use. A sample Of the ex-
traordinary values offered by this firm is
shown in the illustration of the guitar at
$265 in another column Of this paper.
These instruments are indeed wonderful
values, and yet they are but a sample Of

Fnrn Notes.

One Of the best modes Of destroying
Canada thistles is to pour a gill of sui
phuric acid In the crown of each plant.
The acid destroys the plant clear down
to the roots, and there are but few
plants that will survive the treatment.
The cost is little, but In using the acid
one must be careful. 1t should be ap-
piled from a bottle or some other vessel
made Of glass.
If the strawberry bed has been over
run by grass and weeds the best thing
to do Is to burn the bed over late in
the fall, and next spring the straw
berry plants will get good start The
weeds and grass will render any strtw-
berry bed useless and Improbable IL
something is not done to give the
strawberry plants an opportunity to
get ahead in the spring. Mulching will
also be serviceable on the bed.
1t is claimed that when farmer en-
deavors to secure an all-purpose cow
he fails to have one that is good for
single purpose. Just as soon as two
breeds of animals are crossed the re-
suit is progeny that is inferior to both
parents. A breed of cattle adapted
for beef production can not be i'm
proved with a breed adapted for milk
and butter production. 1t is better to
use each breed for what 1t Is intended,
rs 1t will excel in one line only, being
destroyed If bred with some other
breed.
Sawdust can be prepared In a man.
ner to be used as an excellent preven-
tive against lice In poultry houses and
to keep flies from stables. Dissolve as
much powdered naphthaline In a gal
lon of Kerosene as it will take, permit
ting 1t to stand for few days in order
to allow time for the napthaline to be-
come well Incorporated with the kero-
sene. Sprinkle the sawdust with the
solution, using 1t plentifully on the
sawdust. With the hand throw the
sawdust on the floor OF the stalls or
wbersver II may be needed.

Baltimore. October l2.-Should the
present rate of increase in the net earn
ings Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
continue, almost the entire interest
charges and the rentals for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1900, will have been
earned by December 81, 1890. This was
foreshadowed to-day when the net earn
ings for September were made public.
The estimated gross receipts were $2,-
S04, 293, the largest for one month in the
history of the company, and an increase
of $216,597 over September, 1898. The
net earnings for September, 1899. were
also record breaker, being 81 ,O30. 1913,
an increase Of $271 ,S04 over September,
1898. The net earnings for the first three

increase of $1,174,6 6S, over the same

enough at her trough for them to eat
at, it is better that they have separ-

SO that they can easily reach the food,
