Type Of Fragaria chioensis.

The garden Strawberries of this
country have come chiefly from the
so-called Pine type of berries, which
has been proved beyond question to
have sprung from Fragaria chiloen-
sis, plant originally brought to Eu-
rope from Chile, but which is now
known to be native to the western
mountain regions of both North and
South America. The first native
strawberries to be brought under
cultivation, however, were those Of
eastern North America, which be-
long to the scarlet class, the species
being known to botanists as Fra
garia virginiana. This class, as has
been stated, has contributed only
5paringly to our present variety list.
The wild berry of Europe, which thas
always been held in more or less es-
teem because of its ever-bearing ten
dencies, has liliwise contributed only
meagerly to the garden sorts of
it's native countries and none what
ever to the American list. The bur
den of the industry rests upon the
Chilean plant.
The garden strawberry Is an
American product. 1t adapts itself
20 wider range of latitude and to
greater extremes in environment
than any cultivated fruit. 1t is uni
versally liked and is cosmopolitan IN
its adaptations.

Green Pasture for Hogs.

If there Is no convenient clover or
blue grass pasture to which hogs can
have access in the summer and au-.
tumn, excellent green pasture can be
provided by sowing rape, which
comes on quickly and may be pas.
tured early or late, as it grows rap
idly and continues growing after It
is pastured down. Good hog grows
ers very properly claim that hogs
prepared for the fattening process
by good pasture will take on three
pounds of flesh more from the same
quantity of feed necessary and add
one pound IN cold weather to a hog
that has been kept up in a pen.
The grass is cooling and laxative
and contracts the heating qualities
of the grain. Dairy slops, fruits and
vegetables have the same beneficial
effects as grass.
They with grass should form the
principal summer diet of hogs, and
with the worms and insects obtained
in pasturing the hogs will sustain a
healthy growth until the fatteniug
process begins.
or course the summer pasture Of
the hog should have plenty of pure
water and shaded damp ground to
which the hogs can go to escape the
heat when not feeding.

Exercise for Fowls.

There is no doubt that exercise is
very beneficial to fowls. Among hui
mans the lack of exercise combined
with high feeding causes most trou-
blesome diseases, such as dropsy.
The same laws govern the animal
world. There are several things that
exercise does. One of these is, 1t pre-
vents the birds becoming too fat,
which In turn destroys their useful
ness. No matter how much a bird
eats, II It exercises 1t will keep the
fat from accumulating, as the mus
cular exertiop causes the lungs to
work excessively, and In doing this
they burn up large amount OF car
bon, which come from the food, Be
ing burned up In this way, II does not
accumulate on the Body and around
the intestines In the form of fat.

Prevention of Swarming.

The most commonly practiced and
easily applied preventive measure is
that of giving abundant room for
storage of honey, says the Agricul-
tural Bulletin This to be effective
should be given early in the season,
before the bees get fairly into the
swarming notion, and the honey
should be removed frequently, un-
less additional empty combs can be
given in the case of colonies man
aged for extracted honey, while
those storing in sections should be
given additional supers before those
already on are completed. With col
onies run for comb honey 1t is not
so easy to keep down swarming as
in those run for extracted honey and
kept supplied with empty comb.
Free ventilation and shading of the
hives as soon as warm days come
will also tend toward prevention.
Opening the hives once or twice
weekly and destroying all queen
cells that have been commenced will
check swarming for time in many
instances, and is a plan which seems
very thorough and the most plausi-
BILE of any to beginners. But some
times swarms issue without waiting
to form cells; it is also very difficult
to find all cells without shaking the
bees from each comb in succession,
an operation which, besides consum-
ing much time, is very laborious
when supers have to be removed,
and greatly disturbs the labors of
the bees. If but one cell is over
looked the colony will still swarm
The plan therefore leaves at best
much to be desired, and is in gen.
can not be depended on.

Expert Supervision Needed.

In many communities there exists
an earnest desire for road improve
ment and Willingness to have the
work go forward, but unfortunately
there is no one available having
sufficient knowledge of materials
and how best to use them in build
Ing a modern road. The necessity
for the employment of men having
the necessary expert knowledge OF
how to properly construct a road or
pavement is becoming daily more
apparent The enormous waste in
road construction and maintenance
since the nation was established will
be checked, and universal good roads
will result through proper study and
the consequent working out of eff
cient systems of improvement in the
different States.

POULTRY ON THE SMALL FARM.
Prove n Profitable Investment with
Little Initial Outlay.

1t should be comparatively easy
to raise poultry successfully on the
average farm, and to make it pay.
Most fowls are natural foragers and
scavengers, and much Is utilized by
them that otherwise would almost
go to waste. The element of ex-
pense is also reduced to a minimum.
On the farm hens are a side line,
filling an important place, yet not
making up much in the way of in
vestment.
To achieve good results requires
care and vigilance. The lowest cost
compatible with satisfactory results
should be aimed at. If you live on a
small farm, your flock cannot have
the same free range that the flock
raised on large farm has. You pro-
vide the roomiest buildings and the
largest yards permissible under linn
tied circumstances. If you grow your
own grain, the food question is sim
plified. Oats, corn and wheat are
the essentials in feeding. Buck
wheat, barley and various seeds and
grains furnish variety. Green food
and q sod run offer many advan
tages to the fowls in summer. The
garden can be made to cooperate
with your poultry business. Chick
| ems are fond of cabbage, Brussel
| sprouts, kale and vegetables like
over ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and
| peas when past season.
Take care that the poultry yard is
kept clear of rubbish that would be-
| foul 1t.
Supply the scratching shed with
light litter of straw and corn husks.
This makes 1t more agreeable to the
flock. 1t is a good plan to make the
| hens work, at times, while getting
| their food. Ears of corn chopped
into small sections will give them
! plenty of exercise in pecking off the
| grains.
Feed your poultry whatever is
edible that cannot be used on the
table, and see that all waste and lit
ter from the garden ultimately finds
its way to the compost pile.

In teaching a calf to drink, never
make the mistake of backing it up
into some corner and putting the
hand on top of it's head. Even a
very young calf does not relish the
idea of being cornered and in conse-
quence will be more anxious to get
out than to drink. Putting the hand
on top Of its head caps the climax,
for that is the spot most agitated
when sucking and as a result, up
goes its head, true to natural in
stinct, in search of food. Attempt
ing to teach calf to drink in this
manner, therefore, must generally If
not always eliminate in a regular
circus, so to speak. A mechanical
calf feeder is the best device for a
calf taken from it's mother. The use
of stanchions has much to do in
training a calf in the way it should
go.

Value of Hot Tar.

"It has settled down to positive
conviction in France that hot tar
applications are valuable in proper
tion to the excellence of the surfaces
upon which they are laid," says Con-
sul-General Robert f. Skinner, of
Marseilles. When well done the>tar-
ring gives the effect of an asphalt
pavement, and the foothold on a ma
cadamized surface is, of course,
much better than asphalt. The work
was done in the midst of the dry
season, after the road had been care
fully swept, and the hot liquid was
worked with stiff brushes into the
road points, penetrating to a con-
siderable depth. The traffic over this
boulevard is intense, and consists
largely of automobiles moving at
their highest speed. After two years
wear no more dust is observable than
would be the case with an ordinary
asphalt pavement receiving traffic
of innumerable unpaved streets. The
surface and sides are intact, and
look fresh and clean after a rain.

Increased Rmffer Enf.

A very striking case reported by
the New York Experiment Station
has recently come to notice. In this
instance the station purchased a
herd of ten cows from a dairyman
who annually obtained 148 pounds
Of butter fat per head from his COWS.
He was not liberal feeder, but
considered that he fed all it was prof
table to feed. The milk produced
and the feed consumed by the cows
was weighed by the Station during
one entire lactation period previous
to the time they were purchased by
that institution, and an accurate
record was kept, but the work was
done on the farm of the dairyman
and the cows were cared for accord
ing to his usual method.
The following year the cows were
taken to the station and were fed a
liberal grain ration, consisting of 8
pounds per day of mixture of equal
parts Of cornmeal, linseed meal,
bran and cotton-seed meal. Hay and
corn silage were fed ad libitum. The
result was that at the end of that
year the average butter fat yield of
the cows was 32S pounds, or 2,2
times as much as under poor feed
ing. During the second year at the
station the average amount of but
ter fat. produced was 277 pounds pei
head. The year following the sec
ond lactation period at the station
the cows were again returned to the
original owner and were put under
their former treatment; they were
fed and cared for according to the
ideas Of the original owner with the
result that the average production
per COW dropped to 100 pounds.

Blood and Egg Production.

Fresh blood from the slaughter
house is we'll adapted to egg produc-
ton. 1t can be given with advantage
to chicks as well as fowls and be
used in several different ways, says
Indiana Farmer. First, by mixing
one pound of blood with three
pounds of mixed ground grain and
the whSle mixture cooked as bread.
Nothing is superior to it, not ex-
cepting meat. Second, If the mix
ture or blood is put in bag and
boiled 1t makes a food that not
only takes the place of meat but
1t is better for the purpose. AS the
blood at some slaughter houses is
usually wasted, no difficulty should
be found in procuring 1t. The blood
will keep any length of time in win
ter, but If not cold weather should
any portion remain after feeding the
hens 1t may be added to the compost
heap where it will still be valuable
as one Of the best nitrogenous fer
tilizers that can be used.

Views Expressed by Grange Menu
! bers to Further Good Roads.
The question of road improvement
has been taken up by the various
States and local oranges with great
interest and enthusiasm, says the
Good Roads Magazine. The subject,
In fact, is one that has been thor
oughly discussed everywhere and by
all classes interested in the progress
and development OF this country. 1t
is especially noticeable that among
those most closely identified with
agricultural interests the sentiment
In favor of good roads Is steadily
growing, and the value of road i'm
provement is becoming better ap-
preciated. The action taken at the
annual meeting of the New York
State Grange shows an intelligent
grasp OF the situation and a desire
throughout the State. The grange
members, however, believe that a
start should be made by process of
education and in beginning the i'm
provements under intelligent super
gathering are shown in part by the
following resume:
The building of any considerable
amount of the expensive macadam
road, while suitable provision is not
made for the improvement of all the
highways, is unwise, wasteful and
extravagant.
To reach the total mileage of high
ways whose improvement would be
an advantage, should be the domi-
nant feature Of any scheme for the
appoptionment and use of public
funds.
A system of administration
should be established comprising a
tive and town superintendent
The towns which have not already
changed should Immediately aban-
don the old system of working out
the tax, because it does not produce
satisfactory results and retards
highway development.
The towns and county should de-
termine what particular sections of
highway shall be specially favored
and the character and extent of
treatment they shall receive.
The repair and maintenance of
roads involving heavy expense for
construction and care should be di-
vided between the town, county and
State.

Mango In Calves.

When an epidemic of mango
breaks out in bunch of calves the
quarters should be well disinfected
by sprinkling some one of the va
rious disinfecting compounds sew
eral times a week from a common
watering pot. Plenty of fresh straw
for bedding every day and good ven
tilation should be the rule. II 1t ap-
pears about the eyes, or on any part
of the body, apply mixture of car
bolic acid one part glycerine, four
parts and raw linseed oil six parts
thoroughly rubbed in with a brush.
The right thing to do is to be watch
full and vigilant with the first ap-
pearance of the disease.

Rearing Queen Bees.

Few bee keepers are so situated
that they can with profit rear their
own breeding stock. 1t is the rule
in some apiaries to choose the queen
from the colony with the best honey
records as the breeder for the fol-
lowing year, but this, while seem
ingly good policy, leads to curious
errors. Unless it is certain that the
queen is of pure stock or of a fixed
cross she should not be used, for 1t
is a well-known fact that when a
first cross is used as a breeder the
resulting offspring are most varia-
BILE. Queen rearing can not be car
ried on without careful attention,
but the methods are not, as many
believe, SO complicated as to make
1t impossible for the honey producer
to afford the time. The beginner in
bee keeping can scarcely expect to
rear good queens during the first
year, and no one can hope to do so
until he becomes well acquainted
with the habit of bees.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-05-01

warrant the giving of so much space,
the sections. which are completely.
finished may be removed and the
partly finished ones used as bait
sections to encourage work in an
other set of sections on this hive or
in new supers elsewhere. The OBJ
jections to the removal of sections
one by one, and brushing the bees
from them, are Cd the time it takes,
and (2) the danger that the bees
when disturbed, and especial If
smoked, will bite open the Gaping
and begin the removal of the honey,
thus injuring the appearance of the
completed sections.

Snhstitnte for Pollen.

Bees can be stimulated to early
brood rearing by putting out some
kind of finely ground meal or -four,
which they will take as a substitute
for pollen, says Field and Farm.
Beekeepers vary in their opinion as
to what is best, but commonly rec
ommend rye, oats, or pea meal.
Common wheat -four, wheat mid
dlings, cora meal, barley meal and
malt all have their advocates. The
order of preference as nearly as can
be judged is as follows; Ground
whole kernels of oats, cottonseed
meal, pea meal, wheat -four, rye
-four, bean meal and barley meal,
The three last named will hardly be
touched so long us others are accessi-
BILE.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-05-01

Stables should be located where
there is good natural drainage and
be arranged with plenty of light and
ventilation. AS lumber has become.
exorbitantly high, many stable floors
are now made of concrete, says the
Indiana Farmer. When made Of the
latter material they need more bed,
ding to prevent the animals from
bruising themselves when lying,
down. Venilators are arranged to
carry off the pungent ammonia
odors and also to admit fresh air.
Ventilation should be so arranged as
to prevent direct drafts on the
horses, as they will induce colds,
rheumatism and pneumonia. The
stall partitions should come down to
the floor, otherwise the animals are
liable to thrust their legs under the
partition when in the act of arising
and inlure themselves. The man
gers should be constructed to slant
inward SO that the horse will not
inJure Its knees when feeding. An
ideal stable represents warmth, light
and ventilation and should be- pro-
vided with plenty of pure water. 1t
will need considerable attention TO
keep the best constructed stable In
proper condition by thorough clean
ing and disinfectant at regulas, in
tervals. IT,.

A Stimulus to Good Roads.

= In his report, Postmaster-G
Cortelyou states that ''The require
ment precedent to the establishment
of rural delivery is to be a possible
patronage of one hundred families
on a standard route of twentyfour
miles; that the roads be kept in
good condition, unobstructed by
gates and with all streams fordable
at all seasons of the year."
The requirement on the part of
the Post Office Department for rural
free delivery is that 10000 roads
shall be kept In good condition, and
should any Of these roads fall below
the required standard the delivery
of letters upon that line will be sus-
pended.
