SOIL FOR STRAWBERRIES.
Success Is More In the Man Than the
Variety, Land or Any Other
Condition.

The question is often asked: What
varieties of strawberries are the best
for heavy clay soil? What for sandy
loan or for gravelly soil?
w. S. Crawford of Ohio, an author
ity on Strawberries, says that he does
not think the question can be answered
in satisfactory manner. As gen.
eral thing varieties are not adapted
to special kinds Of soil, and will do as
well on one kind as upon another,
provided they are furnished with the
food and drink they need, as they do
upon the fertility that is held in solu-
ton around the grains of soil.
If the fertility and water are there
they will get it and do well, and il
they are not there, the opposite results
may be expected.
This brings out the fact that we
could hope for best results if we knew
just what was already in the soil, as
some kinds are likely to be wanting IN
some OF the needed elements and
there are some varieties that are not
as good as others in adapting them
selves to imperfect conditions Some
good authorities state that the Candy
is not adapted to dry, sandy land
This is because the land Is dry and not
because it is sandy. In wet season
or with irrigation. 1t will do as well
there rs anywhere.
Given nitrogen, potash, phosphoric
acid and water in sufficient quantities
and most any variety is not particular
what kind of soil it is started In,
for it will get them if they are there.
We advise not to plant some varieties
upon low land, not because It is low
merely, but because it is more likely
to be frosty because it is low. On
such land such sorts as the Nick
dinner or Marshal are likely to be
killed, while the Haviland would likely
grow a good crop.
Then there are varieties that should
not be grown on heavy undrained
land unless they can be we'll covered,
as they will not be able to hold them
selves in the ground. the freezing and
thawing causing them to heave badly,
Success is more in the man than the
variety, land, climate or any other
condition. says Mr. Crawford. for the
man who knows how and will use his
knowledge will TO great extent over

Instead of the usual method OF
propagating currants. viz, making cut
tings of the new wood in the fall or
early winter and planting early in the
spring, better method has been tried

become dry, as the liquid had changed
into a gas, which, being much heavier
than air, had sunk down amongst the
peas, penetrating them and killing the
weevils. The quantity of carbon bisul-
phide used by US was larger than that
usually recommended, as a pound or a
pound and half is generally considered
sufficient for 100 bushels of peas, but we

Carbon bisulphide may be purchased In
small quantities from any druggist at
about 30 cents per pound or 40 cents
per pint. For larger quantities, better
rates can be given by the druggist. The
gas, or vapor, which comes from carbon
bisulphide IS not only combustible, but
it is very explosive when mixed with
air. Great care should. therefore, be
taken to treat the peas in the daytime
only, for light or flame of any kind
brought near the liquid may cause a
serious explosion; and smoking near It
should be positively prohibited. More
over, the vapor should not be inhaled. as
1t is very injurious, even a small por-
ton causing headache, giddiness and
nausea. The treatment with carbon BIZ
sulphide should be made in boxes, bar

DEER VISION NOT SO GOOD.

Every day or two the fact Is brought
to the notice of hunters that deer can
not see as we'll as a man. Tell this tC
q person who has never been deer hunt
ing and he will laugh at you, but it is
a fact that the average human being has
better vision and greater range than
has the red deer of the north woods
says the New York Sun.
This is easily proved. A person may
stand In full view of deer, and the ami
nal may be on the lookout and still
not see the person until quite near and
some time after the person has spied the
deer OF course, the sense of smell, as
we'll as that of hearing, is overdeveloped
in the deer, but not so with the power
of sight James Skilton, one of the best
known hunters in this neighborhood
says that almost every deer he has killed
could have saved itself if its sight had
been as good as his, and other hunters
say the same thing. With the wind
blowing away from the deer, one, or
even drove, will sometimes stand In full
vision for half an hour, until their keen
sense of smell or hearing gives the alarm
and they scramble away through the

SubmerEinR In Salt Water.

Some curious tests with coal are
now being made at Portsmouth, the
object being to ascertain to what eX-
tent If any, II Is improved by being
kept for a certain time in salt water.
Twenty-one tons OF coal taken from
the same heap were first divided into
three parts, two of which contained
ten tons each, and one one ton. One
of the ten ton lots was next divided
into five parts, each containing tive
tons, and these. after being placed in
five perforated boxes, were sunk In the
sea. The other ten ton lot Is also to
be divided into five parts. each con-
tanning two tons, but instead OF being
sunk in the sea these are to be kept
on land and will be covered with tar
paulin. The one ton lot was burned a
few days ago, and thorough test Is
now being made Of it's qualities rs
shown by combustion.
In IL months the coal In one of the
submerged boxes, and also that in one
of the boxes which have been kept on
land, will be compared, and the re-
suit will be compared with that which
was obtained when the one ton was
burned few days ago. In this way
