ened somewhat and not possess as much vigor as Is desirable. For this reason 1t may be necessary to renew the beds ev- cry few years by starting with another lot of plants which have never fruited. But if the soil is kept enriched and water Is, applied at the right time, the crops should be large. A gentleman whose grows strawberries after this plan on city lot. told the writer that he counted on getting at least quart of berries from each plant in his bed. With plants a foot apart, or even a foot and half. one can see what the possibilities are.
 One advantage in favor of the city grower Is that water Is always at hand
 and can be applied when needed. The danger is that too much water will be given, or that the grower will try to make the application of water take the place of cultivation. But this will not answer for . cultivation. The soil should be stirred well at least once a week, and water ap- piled only in times of extreme drought. ii the soil is stirred to a shallow depth once week, keeping a dust mulch on the sur
 face, there will be little evaporation of water from the soil, and likely no appli- cations of city water will be needed. If clippings of blue grass from the lawn are used to mulch the plp 1ts, not so much cultivation will be needed.
 In planting strawberries arter tnls pan 1t is well to select varieties which will
 thrive under ths system of restriction.
 Some varieties make so many runners that
 one is apt to be disgusted with trying to
 keep them cut off. But there are a num-
 Der of sorts which will produce wonderful crops of berries under this plant. Among the varieties which can be grown in this
 way are Senator Dunlap. Marshall, Park
 CT Earle and many others-but the aues- ton of varieties wfH have to be solved by each one for himself.

THE PAPER FROM HoMH.
When the New Yorker Reads tho
 Queer Country Sheet.

NeW 1OFk EEeSS.
 The bosom of the country editor would swell with pride if he could ride uptown on an elevated train on the afternoon of Friday or Saturday on any week in the year. On these two days a great many business men give only nasty gianc0 at the evening paper, and then immedi- ately draw from pocket copy of a paper that is in marked contrast to the city papers. as far as type and general appearance go. Tho type is invariably larger, and the display of advertising and heads to news articles are commonly smaller. The ink Is not always spread evenly over the page. Nevertheless the business man opens the paper to the page devoted to news and reads every line there. After that he not infrequently reads the village advertisements and gives a brief look at the editorials.
 The city man used to live in the village where that paper was printed and he rec ognizes the names printed there as those of old acquaintances. perhaps friends The village paper to him Is like letter from home. He may get 1t by subscrip- ton; more frequently 1t Is from loving friends at the old home, who wrap it up and send it after the family there have read 1t.
