STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
Some Hints That Will Prove Valu-
able in Growing Next
Years Crop.

1t is advisable to plant as early in the
spring as possible, for early set plants
| will grow off better and the loss of plants
| will be little or none. AS soon as the
ground is sufficiently dry in the spring,
| therefore, would prepare it. Be sure
| to work 1t until it is thoroughly pulver-
lied and then pack the surface all you
can with roller or drag. l have better
results from planting on firm soil than
on that which is very loose. l also find,
says q correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, that the later in the spring the
plants are set the better condition the
ground should be in and the firmer the
surface should be.
After the ground is thus prepared we
mark 1t of both ways. The rows the
wide way should be four feet apart and
the distance the narrow way depends on
the variety grown. II it is rank
growing variety two to two and one
half feet will be close enough. If a shy
plant-maker Is to "a inches is the proper
distance. The best marker we have ever
used, and we have tried several, is made
by boiling pair of straight shafts to
piece of timber two by four inches and
IL feet long; brace it WELL We bore
holes in the piece every four. two and
One-half feet These holes are made
slightly slanting. In every four-foot
hole we bolt square iron rod about
three feet long, sharpened at the lower
end. When the horse is hitched to the
shafts you have device something like
a rake. only the teeth slant back so as not
to catch on distractions but slip over
them. You are then ready to lay off
your ground the wide way. BY letting
one tooth run in the last mark each time
your rows will all be the same width
One boy and man can operate this and
mark many acres in day.
When ready to cross and mark the mar
row way, put in extra teeth the distance
apart that you wish the rows. A mark
thus made is not blotted out by the rain,
but will show plainly even after hard
rain.
always use spade for planting.
man and boy working together. The
man uses the spade and carries the
basket of plants on his left arm and
faces the way the row runs. With his
right foot he forces the spade into the
ground, pushing the handle forward,
which leaves an opening behind the
spade. The boy Or the left of the row
places the plant in the opening, down to
the bud, holding it thus while the spade
is removed, and the man presses the soil
firmly to the plant with his left foot.

There is more Catarrh IN this section
of the country than ali other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro.

failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science hes
proven catarrh to be a constitutional

RIGHT AND WRONG WAYS OF TRIM
MING.
A sharp knife is best for pruning small
plants, says the Farm and Home. Cut
near q bud at an angle of As degrees,
placing the edge of the knife opposite
the bud and about level with it's lowest
point. This brings the top of the cut
at about the top of the bud. The cut
at d was made too low, and leaves the
bud exposed. SO there is danger of its
being broken. Cut was made too high
and the limb must die back before the
new growth can grow over it. Cut at
b has the same objection, but In lesser
degree.

MAKE CUTTINGS EARLY.
Simple and Easy Matter to Propa-
gate Your Own Grapevines,
Currants, Gooseberries, Etc.

It is a very simple and easy matter to
propagate your own grapevines, cur
rants, goOseberries and most Ornamen-
tai shrubs. II little skill is used these
plants may be readily propagated from
cuttings made late in the autumn after
the leaves are of and preferably before
cold weather comes on, says writer in
Farm and Home.
Well-ripened mature wood, which has
grown during the past summer. should
be selected and cut into lengths of six
to ten inches. The base of these should
be cut squarely just below the bud. They
can be set in the fall in nursery rows
two feet apart or tied in bundles of con-
venient size, with buds all one way and
stored in the cellar or buried in the
ground through the winter.
When spring comes most of the cut
tings will have put on callOus where
the butt comes in contact with the moist
earth or sawdust, in which they have
been buried Even the roots may have
started from some of them. AS early as
the soil can be worked and before the
buds of the cuttings begin to grow, they
should be planted out in good garden
SOIL The soil should be we'll worked
the rows lined out and the cuttings
stuck, at an angle of As degrees. down to
the top bud.
They should be given clean, frequent
cultivation and hoed often to keep down
all wheels during the summer. Usually
an excellent growth will be made. Will
lows, poplars and some other varieties
of trees, Mariana and Golden Beauty
plums, some varieties of ounces, spirea,
privet, barberry, mock orange and most
varieties of shrubs can be propagated in
this way.

est on Wednesday night at the Irving Place
Theatre, where Maxim Gorky's drama-if it is a
drama-called ''Nachtasyl" viii be produced
for the first time any stage in this country.
Apart from fits inherent worth, 'Nachtasyr" is
of peculiar and immediate interest Thousands
who have read Of the recent uprisings In Rus
sa ana their merciless repression viii find IN
Gorkys work explanation Of those tragedies.
''Nachtasyl' is less a drama in the conventional
sense OF the word than a study Of Russian social
conditions and Russian character. Although in
some respects quite different from Gerhardt
Hauptmann's play. THE Weavers.' 1t forms,
Il were q companion picture to that drama.
Like The Weavers," it is an analysis and re-
hection OF appalling misery. The almost inored-
fble hopelessness Of life among the lower GLASSES
in the great Russian cities is shown with re-
uorseless realism. in the scenes which Gorky
has grouped IN ''Nachtasyl." The characters,
though they at first seem mere dregs of human
ity, excite pity rather than contempt. Among
them are two women, the wife Of the
scoundrel who keeps the might refuge" the
other her sister. Each has in turn been loved
BY thief. who in the third act, when he has
begun TO grow weary Of vice, is falsely accused
by the older sister of having murdered her hus-
band. Another, and no6 the least fascinating,
