Preparing Strawberry Plans for Fall

pare a rich compost for them. Go into
the strawberry patch and find the
Young runners that have made little
white roots an inch or so long. Take
these to a convenient table and pot
them In the three-inch pots. Now III
an unused cold frame spread bed OF
coal ashes and on these set the pots
closely together. Water we'll and shade
with a screen of building laths nailed
an inch apart, and then see that the
plants never suffer for water. You
can attend to a large number in this
way, and in the fall you will have a lot
OF plants that can be Knocked out OF
the pots and set so as 10 get strong
enough to make full crop the next
spring. The books vii. tell you lot
about growing pot plants of strawber-

them to root But all this is a waste of
time and labor. and you can have just

The Strawpile
Hoo Notes.

The brood SOW should be fed sparing
~ for the first few days after narrowing
increasing gradually, that the appetite
of the young may keep pace with mills
production. Injudicious feeding otter
causes loss thru an undue stimulation
of the milk functions the production
of quantity greater than the young
can consume, inducing irritation, and
finally inflammation of the udder; the
suffering mother kills or starves her
young and is denounced by her erring
owner in unmeasured terms.
The hog gets at any time in life less
variety in his feed than any other kind
of stock. This is especially true when
he is being fattened. There are other
grains that have quite as good fattening
qualities as corn. a mixture of oats
and barley, or peas and barley ground
together makes a feed that will not
only fatten. but will also furnish the
due proportion of lean meat that is
required to make healthful and easily
digested pork.
Hog breeders should think twice be-
fore deciding to turn off the large old
soWs and breed from their young ones.
for with the older ones there is less
risk, and when coupled with a mature
vigorous animal, they will produce
stronger pigs, better boned pigs and
more pigs than immature animals; in
deed, we can hardly expect sturdy, per-
feet offspring from these. Yes, keep
the old breeder on the place as long
as she remains such.
One of the cheapest and most effect
