Profi,, in stra,,berrx Growinq.

Quite in line with the more approved
methods of culture is the idea that to
get the best results from the straw
berry plantation some care must be
given to the preparation of the ground
long before the plants are to be set. The
old plan is to set the plants on any
land they happen to have no immediate
use for, and pick the fruit the first
season. The best land for strawberries
is that which has been in sod, and to
prepare such land it should be planted
to some hoed crop like corn for two
years before strawberry plants are set.
This is necessary in order to rid the soil
of the white grub, the greatest enemy
Of the strawberry plant.

ers' Journal says: The large number
Of prizes carried home from the inter

by Minnesota is proof that stock can be
grown and fatted at a profit outside
the corn belt. 1t has been eontended for
years that this was impracticable, and
that the corn belt had a monopoly on
the feeding business. However, States
outside the corn belt have found other
feeds that are quite as cheaply grown
and are quite as efficient ip beef-mak-
ing as corn. We are doing well here
with alfalfa, and ought to do much bet

a CASTOR, heavy farm cartwheel,
mounted and ready fol br ,mess. Small
strips of hard wood screwed to the
rim keep the band from coming off.
The plan of setting up the wheel is
plainly shown. Where the rim of the
wheel used is of sufficient thickness,
the old iron tire can be removed and
a very thick, but narrow, tire put upon
both edges of the rim, leaving a
chance for the band to run between
them. In the case of a cast-off cart
wheel this plan would answer admira-

THE permanent settlement of the water question seems no nearer solution now, though two diff ferent parties have applied to the town council for franchises to place water mains throughout the town. Something must be done, however. We must have water and there should be no prejudice as to who delivers the goods so long as we get the necessary article. Every en- couragement should be given by the city fathers to anyone who is willing to make the attempt with out cost to the town, though an ex- elusive right should be given no one until a specified amount can be guaranteed. From present indica- tions the town can use more water than can be developed within a ra- dius of fifteen miles and we believe it to be to the best interests of the community to encourage this de- velopment in whoever is willing to undertake it. With plenty of water new enterprises would spring up and the demand would only in crease Why not call a mass meet ing of the citizens and have a thorough discussion of the matter that is of such vital importance to us all?

An interesting question has arisen as to
the disposition to be made Of the newly
acquired Danish West Indies. One propo-
sislon is to incorporate them with Porto
Rico, but there is objection to that plan.
The people of the sanish West Indies
would resent being merged with tie people
of Porto Rico. The population of the
island is we'll advanced; the language is
English; the suffrage is limited and is in
the hands of the property owners and
educated people al the islands. Fer years
thsy have enjoyed what is in effect self
government, and they are fully qualified to
manage their own affairs Doubtless this
would be taken into consideration when
congress comes to decide npon final dlsposi
ton. Legislation OF the islands will be IN
charge Of the insular committee in tht
House and of Senator Forakei's commit
tee ia the Senate, which hereafter will b'
called the committee on the Pacific islands
and the West Indies, instead of the Pacific
Islands and Porto Rico. Should the isl
ands retain their individuality they vii
have to receive a new name. One PROPOSE
tion is to call them the Antilles, snothe
Caribbia and still another the McKinle!
