Wymer has found seven or eight
good varieties of straw berries. After
the crop is gathered, he mows the
bushes to the ground. Then he
plows burrows through them four
feet apart, after which the ground
is narrowed smooth. The weeds
are killed. but the bushes come up
and spread before winter. Every
two years a new bed is planted.
The Palmer is his best black rasp-
berry, and he has a few black
Olders. The red is the Marlborough,
and the purple Colossal. The Black
berry is the old reliable Snider.
These rows are eight feet apart,
and bushes two to three feet IN the
row. Stakes are driven at frequent
intervals, over which two wires
are crossed to hold the bushes up
from the ground. The old bushes
are cut out, and the tops of the new
ones are clipped to prevent them
from growing high to shade the
berries.
All trees and bushes are carefully
cultivated, as hard ground and sod
cause them to winter-kill.
Experiments are being made on
the farm with apple trees, dew
berries, gooseberries, high bush cram
berries, peaches, etc. He has a fine
lot of four-year old apple trees, but
q leaf blight has greatly injured the
fruit for this season.
Mr.. Winner is entitled to what
ever success he has achieved in his
efforts at intensified fruit and berry
farming. 1t has been established at
a goodly cost of time and money.
Patient experimentation, undivided
attention and good soil are neces-
sary to success in this kind of farm.

The Law Supplement.

With this issue the Herald sends
out the new laws passed by the
Wisconsin legislature during the
long session recently ended, and
the supplement should be filed
away for future reference.
The Herald is the first paper in
Grant county to get the laws to the
people We doubt if there is any
one of our readers who will sit
down and read the the supplement
through. 1t contains nearly as
much matter as the bible, but
amounts to whole lot less.

Our successful frult and berry
rairer, o. HI. Winner, is very busy
these days. Your reporter happen ed
in on the berry farm the morning
after the fourth and found twenty
people busily engaged in picking
1000 quarts of the finest red and
black raspberries we ever saw. All
had celebrated on the previous
day, and so a double force was
necessary on the 5th.
Mr.. Winner started the cultiva-
ton of berries in a modest way on
his twenty acres of woodland
several years, ago, and now he has
about seven acres of the finest bear
ing bushes and small trees we have
ever seen. They look exactly like the
nice pictures in highly colored
catalogues sent out by the nursery
companies.
Recently the Winner family com,
pleted the marketing of 10000
quarts of strawberries, from a bed
of slightly more than an acre, start
ing in at 1912 cents per quart, and
finishing at 6 IA cents. They are
now picking the crop of black, red,
purple, and yellow raspberries, and
expect to market at least 12,0OC
quarts from three acres of vines.
These opened on the market at IL
IL cents per quart, held at $1.5(
per crate Of 16 quarts for a time,
and promise to close at $1.25.
The blackb cry crop will come on
in about three weeks, end prospects
are very flattering for a big crop,
the outcome depending on moisture,
which is necessary at the ripening
stage of development. From an acre
and half Mr.. Winner expects to
pick from 10000 to Is, 900 quarts
and will find a ready market fol-
same IN the towns of Beetown
Bloomington, Lancaster, North
Andover, Glen Haven and Cassville,
and with the farming population
along the roads.
From the above it will be seer
that in favorable season there is g
goodly income for berries; but or
the other hand there is consider
able expense attached thereto. The
material for crates and boxes is pro-
cured from st. Joe, Mich, and is
assembled by the deft fingers of the
children. Crates cost So per hun
dred, and quart boxes So per thou.
sand. Pickers are easily found in
the neighborhood, and Mr.. Winner
has employed seven regularly since
the opening of the season. He pays
them one cent per quart for straw
berries and two cents for raspber1ies
Women enjoy the work and carr
from 81 to $1.75 per day. Marketing
the crop along country roads and in
the towns is q heavy item of ex-
pense, and often involves the neces-
sity of keeping late hours. Never
theless, at the end of favorable
season there should be a goodly
margin of profit for ones work
which, though not heavy, is con
tinuous and monotonous, and re-
quires undivided attention.
Success in the cultivation OF
berries and fruits comes only to the
careful students and patient hus
bandman. Cultivation and the best
varieties must be learned. Mr.

BEETOWN CELEBRATED.

Between showers Beetown cele-

The rain cut out lot of outside
decorations and parade features,
which had been planned; but the
states, the Goddess and Uncle Sam
braved the weather and led large
procession to the finest celebration
grounds in Grant County, a short
distance south of town.
Arrived at the grove, there was
an interesting program. Postm aster
J. M. Hayden was president of the
day, and in few well-chosen words

Different WAYS TO CELEBRATE
IMPORTANT ANNIVERSARIES

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 2. - Nine
teen years ago today, at st. Georges
church, Hanover Square, London,
Canon Gutheridge performed the cere-
mony which made Theodore Roose-
welt, now president of the United
States. and Miss Edith Carew, of New
York, man and wife. Canon Guther-
idge was selected because he was a
cousin of the bride, who was then
travelling in Europe with her mother
and sister.
The president put in large part of
the day by attending the football game
at Princeton, part of his family and
number of friends being with him.
The remainder of the day was OBJ
served at the White House in the
usual quiet manner. The president at
tended to his official duties as on any
other day, and held several confer
ences with the members of te cabinet
and other officials. Members of the
cabinet and many personal friends of
the president remembered the day by
sending flowers and congratulations
TO the White House, but there was no
attempt at a formal celebration. 1t is
rumOred that President Roosevelt
again followed his usual custom of
presenting Mrs. Roosevelt with a
handsome addition to her collection of
iewelry In honor OF the anniversary.

Jefferson City, Mo-. Dec. 2.--W. ID.
Vandiver, state superintendent of in
surance, through his counsel, Attorney
General Hadley, F. W.. Lehman and
John M. Wood, today fled in the
United States circuit court his reply
to the New York Life Insurance COM
pany in the proceedings recently in
stituted by that company to over
throw his order revoking its Missouri
license.
Superintendent Vandiver charged
at the time he ordered their license
revoked that the New York Life had
forfeited its right to continue business
in Missouri. He cited the testimony
brought out before the New York le-
gislative investigating committee TO
the effect that President Mccall and
his associates had during the four
years last past, spent large sums OF
money to secure desired legislation
and in campaign fund contributions.
In his reply fled today he accuses
President Mccall of debauching pub
| lie morals, corrupting legislation and
looting the funds of the policy hold
ers. by extravagant ventures and
reckless speculation.
The answer filed fills ten type
written pages II contains direct and
severe attacks on President Mccall,
| Vice President Geo. w. Perkins and
other officers of the New York Life.
It directs specific attention to the
charge that Mccall and Perkins have
in bad and questionable real estate in
vestments, lost $7,000,000 Of the com
pany's money.
Superintendent Vandiver main
tains that the Missouri insurance de-
! partment has right to require in
surance companies doing business In
the state to manage their affairs In
proper manner and to insist on the
election Of new officers and the adop-
tion of methods that will insure SAFE
ly for the funds OF the policy holders.
