ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.

Among 800 farmers, raisers of corn,
hogs and beef, assembled at an insti-
tute meeting only three raised their
own Strawberries, and this in locality
where the strawberry was as easily
raised as the potato. Some had tried
and failed; others said it was too much
bother; others-the many-said they
would be glad to raise them il they
only knew how. AS the time will soon
be here when the bed must be planted
we give simple directions for making
one which, if followed, will insure any
man all the nice berries his family can
possibly use. Take strip of land
eight feet wide and ten rods long, pillow
it eight inches deep, then disk and har-
row it till it is put in the finest tilth
If the soil is thin and poor. put six or
eight loads of well rotted barnyard
manure on 1t before blowing. Get 400
plants from some reliable dealer-some
home man, If possible-of four or five
varieties, such as Lovett, Clyde, War
field, Beder Wood, Crescent. Parker
Earle, Brandywine or other varieties
which the home dealer can recommend.
Set out the plants in three rows three
feet apart and plants three feet apart
in the row, mixing the varieties when
planted; keep well cultivated and free
from weeds the first season; cover with
two inches of prairie slough grass, corn
stalks or clean straw after the bed is
solidly frozen UP in the winter; rake
covering off after plants commence
growing in the spring and leave cover
for mulch between rows then in June
your reward will come. After fruiting
keep the weeds and grass out of the
bed as much as possible, fruit next
year and then plow the bed up. The
way to be sure of plenty of berries is
to plant bed every spring. We have
followed up this plan for 81 years and
have never failed. 1t is worth know
ing that If you can irrigate the bed dur
Ing the blooming and fruiting season
you can almost double the yield

RURAL TELEPHONES.

The rural telephone is rapidly win
ming its way all through the best de-
veloped agricultural sections of the
country. And this is all right. 1t does
very much to mitigate the isolation
and monotony of life on the farm; it
puts the farmer in close touch with the
markets day by day, the family physi-
clan and his business associates all
over the county. More than all these
things, 1t ministers to the pleasure and
comfort of the wife and mother in a
social way, who can without effort of
having to fix up-change her dress and
dress her hair-call up her neighbor
and have n heart to heart talk. a rare
privilege when she gets into that men
tai state somewhat peculiar to the sex
when it seems just as though she must
say something to somebody. There is
no improvement which a man can
make for his farm and his farm home
which will pay SO large a return as a
telephone. Most towns in the country
now have a local system and central
office and operator, and it is an easy
matter to build these county lines and
connect them with such town system.
If this matter has not been looked up
in your neighborhood. suppose you go
at it.

CAN BE A MAN If HE WILL.

A boy at II can practically determine
for himself whether he will be simple

no ambition to be anybody and is con-
tent to simply let things flicker and
take his chance with others just like
him, frittering away his opportunities
to acquire knowledge and caring only
for the trivialities of life, he can make
up his mind to carry hod, ride the
brake beam of a freight car or dodge
the police as long as he lives, or he can
resolve to be q man in the highest

in 1893.
The trial was before Judge Eichel.
berger, where decision was render.
ed in favor of the defendants on the
ground that the statute under which
the proceeding was brought was in
violation of the constitution. An ap.
peal was taken to the supreme court
and an opinion had at the October,
1900, term.
The supreme court found for the de.
PENDANTS, but refused to sustain the
lower court as to the ground upon
which the opinion was reached, but
held that because the question as be-
tween the state and the Meeks had
been determined adversely to the state
in the proceedings had before JUS
tic of the peace in 1893 the lower court
must be affirmed. The supreme court
held that the statute under which it
was sought to abate nuisance was
constitutional.
Meek Bros. asked for rehearing
with the idea of arguing the unconsti-
nationality of the statute, while the
state asked for rehearing for the
purpose of presenting more arguments
against the res adjudicata" theory
followed by the court.

Fifty years ago the legislators and
prominent men of the state were writ

ers and the future of Iowa if these
rivers could be opened for freight and
passenger traffic. Committee after
committee was appointed and volumin-

the subject, and the first general as

LET THE Roy SLEEP.

We were talking with 60-year-old
farmer friend lately, and he said that
when he was Il boy OH the old farm
back in York state his father always
made him get up at 4 o'clock in the
morning whether there was pressing
work to be done OF not, the father do
ing this because he thought it was good
discipline for the boys. We want to
enter protest against this sort of cru
city as being in any manner necessary
either for the boys or the old man. In
general way it is no longer necessary
to do farm work by lamplight. Let
the boys sleep and grow strong till 6
o'clock at least. Old men forget what
an ordeal it is for a boy to be routed
out of bed before he wakes up natural
ly. There are better ways of disciplin-
ing a boy than this.

Completed in 1852.

In this was included the Bonaparte
dam. The dam was completed in 1852
and contained locks for the passage
of boats up the river.
Hardly was it finished before the
whistle OF the steam engine was heard
in Illinois across the Mississippi
sounding the doom of the river traffic.
Former enthusiastic supporters of the
steamboat theory took up with the
railroad idea and the result was that
The magnificent scheme for the i'm
provement of internal navigation
which has cost the state SO much
money was thrown aside, and in it's
stead joint scheme for the building
Of Des Moines valley railroad along
with the river freighting was taken
up. For this purpose the state made
a grant of land along the Des Moines,
giving each alternate section of the
Des Moines Railroad Navigation com
pany and including also the use of the
dam and locks at Bonaparte, then
practically new.

TRIAL ENDS.
Davis Found Guilty Of Manslaushter
Friday Night.

Davis Found Guilty of MansIaughter
Friday Night.
Knoxville, March Q. (Special.)-
The jury in the case of the State of
Iowa VS.. Davis, charged with kill
ing a miner named Holloway at Weir
City last fall, brought in verdict, at
IL o'clock last night, finding Davis
guilty of manslaughter.
The defendant was placed on the
stand yesterday and gave clear ac-
count of the trouble leading to the
killing. The story was very plausible
and his manner and bearing while ties.
tifying, tho displaying much eager.
ness, augured well for his case. His
testimony was practically that of a
confederation of that of both state and
defense, both going into detail His
demeanor was marked by an alertness
OF mind, rarely seen in a man on trial
for his life. He constantly advised
with his counsel, displaying much in.
terest in the testimony of each, and
was apparently fearful at times that
they would not tell the truth. During
the courts instructions he constantly
turned from judge to jury as if to read
their inmost thoughts.
