Eggplant is gross feeder, but easily
cultivated.
Interest in the apple box grows apace
in the east.
Bone black is said to be good fertil-
izer for parsnips.
Give good, thorough cultivation be-
tween the rows of Strawberries.
Beets will stand considerable cold
weather and may be planted early.
In cold frame or sprout hotbed Is
good place to start lima beans on
sods.
In butter and cheese making every
effort should be made to suppress dust
which, according to dairy authority.
carries more infection than any other
source.
Bees carry pollen from one flower to
another while seeking honey. The real
benefactors are the bee keepers, many
of whom keep bees for pleasure rather
than for profit. But for the bees many
fruit trees that blossom out full would
produce 10 fruit.
Such crops MS squash, cucumbcrs and
melons should have all fertilizers ap-
piled by broadcasting over the surface
of the ground. If manure is applied 1t
will also give good results If worked
into the soil, although well-rotted ma
nure In the hills will assist the plants
at the start.
1t has been demonstrated conclusive
ly that when an animal is fed on
variety, instead of on corn exclusively,
greater gain In weight is secured.
Corn will excel in the production of
fat, but bone and lean meat sell in
the live animal rs well as fat, rapid
growth being gain in weight.
Preventing the spread Of fungus dis
eases could be accomplished better by
destroying the branches and vines that
are cut away from trees and bushes
than by the use of other methods. It
is not sufficient to remove the portions
of trees affected with black knot. They
! should be consigned to the flames, as
, no remedy is as sure In the destruction
OF the spores as fire.

smu,l Farm. to BE the Rule.

In the future small farms will be the
rule. More and better products will be
raised OH 60 acres than are now on 100
acres. There are farmers today who
plant 40-acre field in corn who could
take the same amount of manure they
used and put it on n 20-acre field, and
get greater yield and of better quail
ity. Besides this, it will take only half
the time to pillow and cultivate the 90
acre field, which would further add to
the profits. What lesson the market
gardeners are constantly giving to us
farmers. Why, some of them use mere
barnyard manure on 90 acres than
some farmers do on 100 acres. The
crops the gardeners get are enormous,
and their land is constantly increasing
in fertility.

10 PREVENT Fright ventor to apply
practically the same principle to con-
troll fractions or vicious horses and to
stop runaways which are caused by
the animal taking fright at some OBJ.
ject OH the street or road. While the
binder In common use on brides pre-
vents the horse from seeing objects
on either side, there is nothing to shut
out the view of anything approaching
which might tend to frightcn the ami
NAL. and 1t can also turn It's head IL 1t
hears noise; but with this new de-
vice the driver or rider has only to pull
cord lying parallel to the reins and
bellows-like curtain is drawn over
both eyes to shut out the sight COM
pletely. In this condition the animal
can only stand and tremble until the
object causing the fright has passed,
when the curtain is lifted by releasing
the cord. and the horse travels on as
before. The curtain is housed In a
small semi-circular leather casing pass
ing over the animals forehead just
above the eyes, and the operating cords
are inserted in tile bit rings before
passing back with the reins.
Cost of au Acre Of Strawberries.
For blowing, IS; narrowing, So;
marking. so cents; plants 5000 $50,
average price; plants are scarce this
year. Trimming and preparing plants,
So; setting plants, 81; cnltivatlng with
horse, $3.50; hoeing six times, $18;
fertilizer, half ton, So; four tons of
straw, 500; applying straw, So. This
makes the cost about 500 for the first
year. OF course the increase of plants
can be used to set new bed the fol-
lowing year, which will make the cost
one-fourth less. The straw is worth
as much as 1t costs almost to the soil.
In these figures we are actually CIV
Ing what it would cost the farmer to

how to do it. If the farmer does the
work himself, he does not feel the cost
any more than We're he putting in II
crop of potatoes. We advise setting
the strawberry bed near the buildings
so II can be attended to without going
J far. The usual gross sales from an
acre of Strawberries are about -four
times the cost of the acre for the first
year-Rural New Yorker.

SOME thirty or more North Dakota

given up the futile effort of getting out
an ideal paper and are enjoying months
jaunt to the coast and back. This time
the editorial excursion is no ''bluff" and
consists solely of editors and their wives.
The bob-tail flush of bankers, lawyers
and other individuals with splethoral
pocket books, who availed themselves of
editorial transportation when the North
Dakota press association took its trip
to Florida two years ago, had the
effect Of "queering" the North Dakota
press gang with the railroad companies
to the extent that when they came
make arrangements last year the Off
Gals of the roads approached turned

LAST week the Commoner, w. j. Bry-
ans paper, devoted one page to denial of
reports that MI. Bryan is a millionaire.
1t states that Mr.. Bryan had $1,000 or
$4,000 before he was nominated for presi-
dent the first time. His new house was
to cost $4,000, but the amount paid
far exceeded the contract price. In
addition to his house and thirty
five acres of land where it stands he has
property, real and personal, valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000, of which $4,000
or $1,000 of this came to him by inherit
ance. In 1897 he received $4,000 as his
royalty from his book, THE First Battle
Anequalamount was given to bimetalism.
Since 1896 he has given $4,000 to
advance political reforms and half as
much to educational and religious pur-
poses. In the two years his paper has
been in existence he has taken from its
till an average of $1,000 for his personal
use. 1t is said that his presidential
campaigns augmented his earning power
and also added to his expenses.
