Varieties Of Strawberries.

We are frequently asked to name
he best variety Of strawberry. and
have to reply that there is no best
strawberry. What one will do the
best on a certain piece OF land de-.
ponds On several circumstances. The
amateur should try several kinds and
select finally the n that does the
best with him. Sometimes he will
need to select a number that he may
get a succession of fruitings. AS to
prOductiveness, varieties differ on diff.
ferent soils and in different states.
This difference is sometimes consider.
able even in the same locality and on
different farms, due to a difference of
soil texture, composition or condition.
The one that yields the best on one
piece Of land may be a small yielder
on the adjoining farm. We have fire.
quently noted this fact In listening to
discussions OF Strawberries at the
horticultural conventions. Some
kinds do we'll only when given much
care and would fail under the meth
DDS that are in vogue on the farm OF
the lazy man, while others seem to
stand a fair amount of neglect and
do well. One variety needs to be
heavily fortified. while another will
do we'll with only a limited amount
OF fertility available. The old Wilson
for instance, was and Is a berry that
can be made to do we'll only under
high Observation-Disclosures Review.

Tomato Growino.

Tomato growing is popular with
gardeners, but TO grow this kind OF
fruit to perfection requires more skill
than we generally suppose. Soils for
tomatoes should be light and rich
and should have good drainage. The
tomato. especially in the more north
ern part OF the United States, needs 10
be pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible. SO that the growers may get the
benefit Of the crop before frost ONE
On most Of our northern farms during
the past two years there has been
much complaint Of tomatoes not rip
ening. 1t is evident that II the plants
are grown on land that is cold, on &C
count OF texture or lack OF drainage,
there will be trouble of this nature.
h best time to transplant toma-
o e Is when they are six inches high.
II they are left in the hot beds till
they have attained a height Of two
feet or more they do not bear trans
planting well, and growth is checked
to an extent that seems to render
void the start that had been made by
growing them in a hot bed. In fact.
when such plants are set out it is NJ
unusual to see volunteer plants that
grew in the open soil bear fruit as
soon as they. though the hot bed
plants had blossoms on them at time
Of setting out.
Generally tomato plants are set
about o Il feet apart each way and
permitted to lie on the ground. When
the plantation Is small and consider
able attention can be given to each
plant. a good way to do is to plant
them about three feet apart each way
and train the plants to single stems,
tying these stems to stakes. This let's
in the sun, and the tomatoes should
ripen more fully and be Of better flaw
or than when allowed to ripen on the
ground under the shade OF the thick
leaves.
II it is desired to avoid the trouble
OF hoeing out the weeds every few
days, old straw or other like material,
even grass from the lawn, may be
placed around the vines. This also
acts as a mulch and keeps the moist.
ure in the ground for the use OF the
plants. This mulch will have to be
added to from time to time, as the
weeds will make a desperate effort to
push up through II. In the care of
green grass being used for a mulch
this will be particularly so. as the
grass decays very quickly. On the
whole. however. the use of the mulch
saves a great deal of labor and is
therefore very satisfactory. Besides.
1t allows the gardener to walk among
the vines even after a heavy rain.

Ing Highways.
At the second session OF the Ma
tional and International Good Roads
convention at St. Louis the principal
speaker was General Nelson A. Miles.
General Miles declared himself to be
thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement for better roads and in his
address recommends that 5000 men Of
the army be used in times Of peace as
an engineering corps to locate the best
and most feasible roads and cooperate
with the surveyors Of various states.
He said that the government would be
vastly benefited by such a plan when
It became necessary to Use such roads.
The preliminary work OF surveying
could be done by the army, he said,
and the work then left to the state
to be carried to completion and the
general attorney to have control. Gen
eral Miles said he would have intro
duced in congress q resolution or bill
to this effect.

RAILROADS WIN IN TEXAS
Tho Corp orations Get First Decision II
Trust Cases.

The railroads and express companies
won the first contest in the antitrust
suits recently brought against corpor-
ate interests generally by the district
attorney at Austin. Tex. in the nam
OF the state of Texas. The suit passed
upon in the district court was one in
which the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
road and the Pacific Express company
were being sued for violating the anti
trust laws by entering into a conspir-
acy to keep any other express COM
pany from doing business over the
Katy systems. The damages asked
for in this case and some forty others
Of a similar nature, amounted to some
thing like $50. OOO. 900.
Judge Brooks Of the district court
ruled in favor Of the corporations by
sustaining their demurrer and denial
OF any violation Of the antitrust laws.
This gives the corporations interests
| the better Of the struggle as this was
a test case. The plaintiffs aver that
they will appeal to a higher court.

CARD PLAYING AND DANCING
These Two Amusement Tabooed by the
Methodist Conference.

The committee on state OF the
church OF the Methodist general on
ference at Los Angeles having in
charge the consideration OF the pro-
posed change OF the rules in regard to
the dancing. card playing and theatre
going. has decided by a vote of So to
43 against recommending any change.
This result was reached only after a
vigorous and prolonged contest in the
committee meeting. A minority re-
port. presented by members OF the
committee who favor a more liberal
construction Of these rules will be Of
fered before the conference. II is said
the submission of these two reports TO
the general body will be the signal for
the most spirited struggle that will oc-
cur on the floor during the confer
ence.

SCIENTIFIC SURROUND BOUT
Kid Mccoy and lack O'Brien Get To-
gether In Philadelphia.

Kid Mccoy and Jack OBrien fought
one Of the most scientific s%ix-round
bouts ever seen in Philadelphia at the
Second regiment armory. At the close
Of the bout 1t would have been a diff
cult task to pick the winner. Mccoy
had the best OF the third and fourth
rounds, while O'Brien lad the kid in
trouble at the close OF the fifth round
and also in the sixth round. Mccoy
was visibly in distress at the end OF
the sixth round. He repeated ran away
from O'Brien and only attempted to
counter when O'Brien led. There were
no marks on Mccoy while O'Brien's
left eye was bleeding. O'Brien's blows
lacked force and this alone saved the
Md from a knockout. O'Brien landed
the greatest number OF blows. but Nc
Coy's punches had more steam behind
them. The men weighed in at l5s
pounds.

TURKEYS ARE LOOKING UP
Approach Of Thanksgiving Sends Bird
SkyWard.

With the approach of Thanksgiving
the public attention is turned TO tur-
keys. and the mention of the day calls
to mind the accompaniment of the bird.
This year the turkey is a scarce article.
and the supply is not in proportion to
the usual demand. Dealers report that
the crop of turkeys suitable for the
Thanksgiving market is very limited,
though later there will be large sup
ply. in time for the later holidays.
Since the first turkeys were placed on
the market this fall there has been an
increase of from to cents per pound,
and the prospects are that the turkeys
will command even a higher price be-
fore next Thursday. They now sell at
IL and Is cents a pound by live
weight. Ducks and other fowls re-
main at the original prices. and are
very plentiful

Perhaps you have never thought of
ii. but the fact must be apparent to
every one that constipation is caused
by a lack of water in the system. and
the use of drastic cathartics like the

matter worse. Chamberlain Stomach
and Liver Tablets are much more mild
and gentle in their effect, and when
the proper dose is taken their action is
so natural that one can hardly realize
il is the effect of a medicine. Try a
