Covering Strawberry BEDS.

From Farmers Review: AS soon
as the ground freezes hard enough to
bear a wagon and team, wheat straw
should be hauled and placed over the
strawberry bed to 6 inches deep
between the row and 1 inch over the
rows. If care is taken to make the
covering thin enough ove the plants
they will grow through and above it
the following spring. A few years ago
when the wheat was threshed with the
old-fashioned separator, the straw was
fairly free from grains of wheat and
chess ~("cheat") and this vas the best
method. Now, when the wheat is
threshed with a elbow stacker the
grains of chess and light grains of
wheat are blown out with the straw.
When this straw is used, the entire
strawberry bed will be occupied by a
dense growth of this chess and wheat
which ruins the strawberries. To pre-
VEN this, old blackened straw, in
which all seeds are dead, may be used.
But this must be hauled before 1t
freezes into solid Jumps. It may be
placed in a narrow ridge between the
rows and afterwards, when the ground
freezes, be scattered as previously de-
scribed. Dat straw is a dangerous COW
ering to use. Before spring, it is liable
to cement itself together and smother
the plants. l have grown COW peas be.
tween the strawberry rows. Theil
dense late summer growth smother.
and weakens the plants and wher
freezing begins the GOV pea foliag,
disappears leaving the sickly plantI
without protection. 1 have grown oat
between the strawberry rows. The oat
after freezing fall down and make
nice covering. But while they wer
growing they robbed the strawberr,
plants of light, moisture and air an,
weakened them so badly that the
were not worth covering. 1t is not tn
proper thing to grow cow peas or oat
between strawberry rows to mule
them for winter. l plan to experimen
with another material for winter COY
ering, but 1t is premature to describ
1t now.-L. H. Galloway, Morgan couI

LORD ROSEBERY'S ASTOUNDING PROPOSAL

proved of by the public, is unexplained.
1t may be, however, that the Brazilian
government is nervous lest the United
States, which now admits coffee free,
should put a duty on it or should leg
islate in some way against Brazilian
coffee, of which this country is so
large a The Porto Ricans
have been asking for the imposition of
a duty on all Brazilian coffee entering
their island, for the protection Of their
own product. 1t may be that the Bra
lillian government has decided that 1t
will be we'll to make friendly advances
to the United States so that it may be
less induced to give the Porto Ricans
the relief they ask for. The United
States took $45, OOO, 900 worth of cof-
fee from Brazil last year and that
country ought to be willing to make
liberal concessions to preserve so prof
liable a trade.

ATHLETICS, ANCIENT AND MODERN

The plans now under way for the
Olympian games of 1904 make it seem
probable that in the matter of variety
of interest modern athletics will have
a great advantage ove their predeces-
sors among the ancients. The few sim
pie feats of skill and endurance which
were %applauded by the spectators in
the stadium at Olympia will occupy
only a small part of the ~ttentio OF
the present management.
Racing. wrestling, and boxing are
likely to be given a proper degree OF
prominence, but many other things
will be included in the list of events.
Among these will be included contests
between fire companies from all the
principal cities of the world, contests
between the police departments OF
those same cities, contests between the
sailboats of all nations. contests IN
swimming and diving, matches In MOD
ern games, including water polo, ano
many other means of bringing athletic
prowess into action. The result vii
be a dazzling Kaleidoscope display o.
the physical strength and dexterity o.
the present age.
All this shows that men have mad
some progress or at least some add
lions to their powers and their idea
since the days of the glory thai wa
Greece.

A. ]. Montague, the new governor
elect of Virginia, is MOI quite lofty
years of age. He will step from the
office of attorney general into the eX-
ecutive mansion.
The new governors father was lieu
tenant governor of Virginia during the
war between the states and afterward
fudge for many years of the circuit
court of Middlesex.
Young Montague spent his childhood
on a farm. He graduated at Wlillam
and Mary college at Williamsburg In
1882. During the two years that FOL
lowed he taught school. In the sum-
mer of 1884 he was a law student at
the University of Virginia and gradu-
ated with the degree of B. L.. In 1850
He settled in Danville and n the
spring OF 1888 was defeated for COM
monwealth's attorney. In 1889 Presi-
dent Cleveland appointed him district
attorney for the western district OF
Virginia.
In 1896 he was a candidate for the
ONCE OF dIlOIuey bOhOAoA "A
the nomination and election over sew
eral Of the strongest men In the
Democratic party. His recent canvass
for the governorshlp was preceded by
one Of the bitterest contests for the
nomination ever held in Virginia.
Congressman c. A. Swanson was
also a candidate and had all the ma
chinery of the party behind him. Mon
tague and Swanson met in joint debate
during the v for the nomination
and many bitter things were said
but when the nomination was mad
Mr.. Swanson took the stump in Mon
tague's behalf.
Mr.. Montague is married and ha
three children, the youngest being fou
years old. Mrs. Montague is a beat
tiful woman with delightful person
atty.
Mr.. Montague's nair gave him tn
name his father before him bore as
political nickname. "the Red Fox" H

In the Victoria History of the Coun-
ty Of Norfolk, England, the author
quotes a note concerning the cod, from
an old work on British fishes. which
says that on a midsummer eve one was
captured in Lynn Deeps and brought to
the vice-chancellor Of Cambridge. In
its stomach was found "a book in three
treatises." The date of the discovery
was 1925. Can it be that the scarcity
of cod in the present year is to be ex-
planned by the fact that the fish have
been indulging in a literary diet, as
did their esteemed predecessor, and
with fatal effect? A few yellow
journals may have been eaten by mis-
take.

NEW sIAR FOB HE FLAG.

Congress is quite likely to authorize
a new star placed in the American
flag, and it's name will be Oklahoma.
The people OF Oklahoma and Indian
territories have gone to work In a
practical way to meet the objections
to their desire for statehood. Whether
they have succeeded is for congress to
decide, but their solution of the prob
lem is at least promising.
Oklahoma territory had In 1900
population OF 39S, 1871, Of whom 1874 2
were whites, 1881 negroes, 6.01S In

For the last two years members of
the Baptist church of Saco, Me-, have
been annoyed by a sound of the
church building. While it was not
especially troublesome, 1t vas annoy
in. from the fact that 1t was constant
and could not be located. The sexton
hunted everywhere for 1t, but with
out success until the latter part of last
week. In making a more thorough
search than usual he found tucked
away in a gable end a swarm Of bees
and about fifty pounds OF honey.

President Roosevelt's independence
of thought and action was illustrated
recently in a manner pleasant to re-
cord. He bought three fine, high-step-
ping horses for use in his carriage at
Washington. "He was particular about
having long-tailed horses" said the
man OF whom he bought them. HE
insisted that they should not be dock
ed. 1t made no difference to him that
short-tailed horses are considered more
fashionable"

The law which is driving religious
orders out of France, has two very
simple provisions. The first is a
declaration that all religious associa-
lions of whatever kind must submit to
the general law of the republic and
obey the prescriptions laid down for
the formation of all corporate socie-
ties; secondly, it ordains that all re-
ligious institutions in the country
must submit to the inspection, approx
al and control of the bishop in whose
diocese they are established, and it
provides that no religious association
which processes obedience to a supe-
rior residing out of France shall be au-
thorized to exist In the country.

The English home office is reported
to be considering the abolition Of
Black Maria. The origin of the term
BLACK Maria" is curious. When New
England was filling with emigrants
from the mother country a negress,
named Maria Lee, kept a sailors
boarding house in Boston. She was
a woman of great strength, and help
ed the authorities to keep the peace.
Frequently the police invoked her aid,
and the saying, Send for Black Maria"
came to mean Take him to Jail" Brit
ish seamen were often taken to the
lookup by this amazon. and the sto-
ries they spread of her achievements
led to the name Of Black Maria being
given t. the English prison van.

There are many workingmen In all
large cities who cannot remove to the
suburbs, who must remain in congest-
ed districts because they need to be
near their work. Thus there is force
in a recent suggestion that some inn
mense apartment houses be erected
where tenements now stand. Such q
building, sheltering a thousand per-
sons, perhaps, might be from twelve to
eighteen stories high, supplied with
elevators. steam-heated, fire proof and
sanitary. In the basement would be
a general laundry, on an upper floor a
hall for concerts. lectures and unsec-
tartan religious services, and there
would be a roof-garden which would
be also a playground for the children.

able single men to live in decency and
comfort at prices working men can
afford to pay The big family hotel
would serve the same purpose to mar
ried men who cannot leave a neighbor-
hood of tenements. but would like
themselves and their families TO be
farther from sidewalk sounds and
scenes and nearer TO the sky.
