After the strawberry bed has yielded
its crop NOW the tops of the plants
close to the ground and burn them as
soon as dry enough, choosing time
when there is wind enough TO cause the
fire TO run quickly and not burn too
long in one place. Then the weeds can
be cut out with the hoe and perhaps
the old plants and the land left to the
new plants or runners. Some first work
the paths between the rows and make
the soil fine and rich with manure or
fertilizer, then cut new path where
the old row stood, thus keeping the bed
in the same place practically for sever
al years. While this is an old fashioned
method, those who are limited In their
gardens or in land where they can
grow strawberries can scarcely try any
better method until rust or insects be-
gin-to injure the plants. 1t may not be
adapted as well TO those who grow

AID TO AGRICULTURE.
Benefits That Good Ronds May Brinf
to the Farmers.


In welcoming the Mississippi good
roads convention to Vicksburg, Mayor
Trowbyidge said in part:
THE proposition of good roads Is
self evident proposition, and Is one that
Is being taught, and we know how ex
pensively taught, by past experience. l
shall not attempt to enter into the Ques
ton of how to acquire them, for there
are gentlemen on this floor who have
made thorough study Of that ques
ton, and we shall look to them for in
struction and information on this sub
ject. We can only promise them that
their information shall not be lost but
being guided by the experience of the
more advanced brethren of the western
states, we shall endeavor to have our
legislature frame such laws that will
conduce to good roads.
at does not require the foresight Of
a prophet to tell that the question OF
good roads is one that will engage the
politics of the counties of the state and
be even Of national Importance, for
that question which affects the wei.
fare, the comfort, the happiness, the
prosperity Of its people is one worthy
of engaging the attention Of members
Of the national congress.
II beg pardon of the members Of this
convention for depression, but there
Is matter very closely allied to the
question Of good roads and one of such
Importance that l cannot refrain from
touching on the subject. and that is one
of scientific farming and the formation
OF farmers alliance throughout the
southern states. Again, can we take
advantage Of the experience Of our
western brethren in the formation of
these helpful societies or clubs that
have done so much for their advance
ment and prosperity?
with the good roads and prosperity
on the farm that will surely come from
the formation of farmers institutes
will so surely come the pride of the
farmer in his farm, his house, his barn,
his stock. his, surroundings. 1t will
then be no unusual sight to witness the
visit of our country friends to our
churches on Sunday. Then will the
young beau harness up that young
horse that he has taken so much pride
in raising and, going after his best
girl, will drive her on visit to some
neighbor or, perchance, to ball or
theater in the city, returning home at a
rafting pace over the good roads"

FARM AND GARDEN.
FIELD BEAN CULTURE,
lncreaseJ Demand For WAX and
Green Folded Varieties.

The growing of wax and green pod
ded beans for canneries has assumed
considerable proportions within the
last few years in certain sections, and
the market gardener and trucker have
found an increased demand among pri-
vate customers and the markets for
string beans for canning and for pic
king down in jars, casks and barrels,
while farmers and private gardeners are
paying more attention to the produc-
ton of better quality of pod that will
have more flavor and brittlcness and
less stringinCss and toughness of the
outer skin. The better qualities come
from higher culture, and the undesira-
BILE features are the result of practic-
ing the theory that land which is too
poor to grow anything else will grow
beans.
First. to successfully grow string
beans of that desirable luscious, tender
quality it is necessary to force the
growth of plant and pod TO the limit.
In the garden, either private or com
mercial, the canning crop of beans can
be made to follow some earlier crop

These potatoes were grown on upland
clay, hard and tenacious, better adapt
ed to marble making than to potato
growing. With blowing and thorough
pulverzation with roller, disk, spring
tooth harrow and plank drag, the soil
was perfectly fined and melowed to
the depth Of five or six inches, except
the check or No. 2 plat, which was
given only the ordinary preparation Of
the average farmer.
The seed cut to two eyes was planted
with an application of high grade com
plete potato manure on both plats. In
few days the weeder was used on
plat No. /, followed by three harrow
ings at intervals. After that nitrate Of
soda was applied, followed by two
civilizations on each of the two sue
ceeding weeks and another application
of nitrate Of soda the following week.
bordeaux mixture was used, further
cultivation given, and third applica-
ton Of nitrate was given just as the
vines came into bloom.
Plat No. was cultivated four times,
had one application of paris green, but
no bordeaux or nitrate.
