The strawberry bed.

There are few things that are often
more poorly managed than the straw
berry bed. Again and again has the
writer seen beds that had been started
out well, but that had become entire
failures through mismanagement. Of.
ten it is due to the ground being in o
condition that makes success ip,pos-
sible, and at other times it has been
on account of an easily; explained de-
sire to have the plants make great,
growth Of foliage. This growth of
foliage is MI fright on individual pants
provided the plants are each given
suff;c ent room to develop, bat when,
the growth is on'a multitude ofplants,
as it is often, and these plants are
crowding one against another, the
blossoms are few and the ripe berries
are fewer and smaller
The unprepared ground is no place
for q strawberry bed, but the tempta;
tion to use such ground for straw
berries is often very great. A casesof
this kind came to the atten tion of the
writer about two years ago. Cutie
late in the spring neighbor decided
that he would have first. class straw
berry bed. SO he ordered some hun
dreds of plants. But having all of
his prepared ground taken up with
other things he merely turned over
some sod and set the plants in the
newly turned sod. He hoped that by
the following year the plants would
have secured a good growth and would
have 80 permeated the sod and under
soil with their roots that the ground,
would be loose. He recognized the
fact that the ground was utterly de-
void of manure, save what had come
in natural way through the decay.
ing grass roots. In the fall after set
ting he tried to work between: the
rows and to fork in a little manure
But the ground was very hard and un-
responsive, and, though he had four
of the best varieties of strawberries
he did not get pint of berries from
them all the second year. This failure
was due entirely to poorly-preparad
soil, and without doubt this is the
case with majority of the failures. +

but the writer remembers one bed of
Wilson's that proved a great success.
It was made on well-worked garden
soil, and was enriched with a heavy
dressing of hog manure. This was
thoroughly Incorporated with the soil
before the plants were put on, and the
weeds were kept down. The second
year the crop of great red, glossy ber-
ries was enormous. 1t was an illus
tration of what properly prepared
soil will do.

Any of the large breeds OF fowls,
such as Cochins, Plymouth Rocks,
Brahmas, Wyandottes, Langshans,
Dorkings or Indian Games will pro-
duce fine broilers-that is as far as
breed goes; but in raising broilers it
should not be forgotten that it is a
winter business, as the birds are sup
posed to reach the market in April or
May, which makes their Matching time
start from about October or Noyem-
ber. When birds are Matched and
marketed ut the dates mentioned they
will command about the highest prices
that are offered during the year for
any kind of poultry.

at Atlanta, Ga, by Miss s. Y. Jewett.
Possibly one feature which has con-

is the attention which it gives to the

Winter and Pianos.

''The winter season is hardest on
pianos" observed piano tuner, '.for
the reason that the rooms containing
them are often kept too warm for the
piano, if not the human occupants,
and the result is that the wood work
dries up. This does not always do an
injury, but very frequently it does
serious injury, and especially if the
wood work is not substantial and
solid. In 80 cases out of 100
the wood work is as it should
be, but now and then some por-
