PoLLENIzE STRAWBERRIES B.
Howard says in The Rural New York
er that in raising strawberries to as
sist in securing polarization, either
for fruit for consumption or for the
seed, swish an evergreen bush back and
forth, just touching the plants lightly,
doing this every day while in bloom.
The most favorable time is at midday,
beneath clear sky, and when the
plants are free from excess of moist
ure. Avoid drenching the foliage
with water when the plants are in
bloom, if satisfactory polarization is
desired.

DANGER?-An old lady read par
agraph in one of the papers the other
day, describing how grindstone burst
in saw mill and killed four men.
She happened to remember that there
was grindstone down in her cellar,
leaning against the wall; so she went
out and got an accident insurance pol
icy, and then summoning her servant
and holding pie board in front Of
her, so that if the thing exploded her
face would not be injured, had the
stone taken out into the road where
"a pals of water were thrown over it,
and stick was stuck in the hole bear
ing the placard marked Dangerous"
She says it is mercy that the whole
house was not blown 10 pieces by the
thing before this.

SAM JONES ON ANNEXATION.
The Georgia Funny Man Has View OF
His Own.


His Own.
Atlanta Journal, Friday.
Rev. Sam P. Jones was in the
city last evening and stopped long
enough to give The Journal his views
on expansion. =,
"It is not question of expansion" "
said he, "because we have already ex-
pauded. We have certainly taken in,
by the treaty between the United
States and Spain, all Spain had, except
her home. The question now is, what
shall we do with the Philippines? OF
course, we will hold our band upon
the government of Cuba long enough
to import enough of 'Yankee-doodle'
down there to vote Cuba over into our
possession. Porto Rico will also be-
come province of the United States.
"But what to do with the Philip
pines now is the question before states
men, politicians and editors. Ihe
Philippines are on our hands. We
cannot unload these islands like the
farmer unloads his potatoes and corn
when he drives into town and sells
them. 1t will take time, wisdom, and
the best craftsmanship to determine
what is best to be done. / am sure it
is not wise to decide now what we
will do with the Philippines; but the
question of expansion is already set
tied. We certainly have expanded.
But the fellow don't always keep
down everything he swallows.
II think the United States will be by
the Philippines like the fellow was by
the oyster, lying in big plate on the

BT 1 understand that Spokeland
couldn't make a living down in the
bottoms" said a man meeting an
acquaintance.
"No; had to move away"
"Wasn't the land good?"
"First rate, but the trouble with
him is laziness. He was too lazy to
live in that country. That's no place
for lazy man, let me tell you, Why
sir, that fellow had a chill one day
and was too lazy to shake. In that
country it is necessary for a man to
shake when he has a chill. 1t ain't
right to buck against nature"

SETTING OUT YOUNG TREEs.--lf
young trees are set out early in the
spring be careful to not expose the
roots so as to allow them to dry.
Make the holes large, so as to receive
all the roots without cramping or
bending them, and return the top soil
to the roots, pressing firmly and SET
Ting the soil with plenty of water.
The top soil may be mulched with
stable manure, but do not mix manure
with the earth used to fill in around
the trees. Shorten back the tops be-
fore the buds begin to swell and cut
away all surplus branches.

IA Brigham Young understood how
to dodge. A man came to him from Eu,
rope to have him replace a leg that had
been removed. Brigham said to him,
II can do this and it would not cost
me any trouble; but if l should bring
back your leg you would, on the morn
ing of the resurrection, have three
legs-the first leg, the one that you
lost, and the one that l would make
for you. Had you not better 60 on
with one leg for little while, than to
60 through eternity with three legs -

INTENSIVE FARMING.-The inten-
sive farmer, in most cases, is making
more money now than the extensive.
The man that grows the same amount
of produce on half the land his neigh
Dor does saves in various ways. He
has only half the land to fence and
pay taxes on. He can plow and har.
row in half the time. Half the seed
is saved, and he has twice as much
fertilizer to apply to his crops. He
only travels half as far in cultivating
crops, and large yield requires little
more labor to harvest than small one.

GROUND OATS For FEED.-The
grinding of oats makes them more
digestible, and the same may be said
of corn. The best method of feeding
is to mix the ground grain with the
forage, which increases the digestibility
of both kinds.
