strawberry Planting.

If you do not have a strawberry bed
in your garden and want one, August
is a good time to start 1t, provided you
rlant pot-srown plants.
These pot-grown plants are runners
which were rooted in pots early in the
season.
You could not use at this season
plants which had not been pot-grown
because the pots would be so badly
damaged In the transplanting that they
could not furnish the plant with the
amount Of water which 1t would de-
mand. That kind Of plant, known as
layer plants" may be set out In Sep
TENDER, but they would not give you
any fruit next spring under ordinary
cultivation, while pot-grown plants set
out in August will bear next spring.
In a bed 10x2O feet, one may grow
100 plants. If the soil is heavy clay
thoroughly work into 1t dressing sew
eral inches In thickness, Of coal ashes,
and half a ton Of manure, before set
ting the plants. AS soon as the ground
freezes, spread another half ton Of ma.
nure over the bed as a mulch.
The following spring, as soon as the
first leaves show above the mulch, pull
the manure away from the crowns of
the plants, and work 1t into the SOIL
Such a bed will bear more strawber-
ries than a family Of three can eat
fresh.

they are British possessions. Unless
the demand for coral necklaces be-
comes more insstent than it has been
for a hundred years or so, the islands
will have little value so Ear as their
natural production is concerned, so
whether the Union Jack or the Stars
and Stripes float over these micronesia
is a matter of no serious Importance.
1t must be admitted, however, that
they have some strategic value, for
they lie almost on the course of steam
ships from Hawaii to New Zealand,
and Tanning Island is at present sta
ton of one of the "all-British'' cables.
This fact has caused some heart
burnlngs among patriots in Australia
and Great Britain. They have sounded
an alarm. They have written to their
newspapers, and have described the
sale as amazing" At this stage, the
High Commissioner Of the Western Pa
clf1c relieved all the agitated minds by
declaring the purchaser of the islands
must hold them subject to the rights
Of the British Crown and the terri
torial rights of the Pacific Gable Board.
Tanning Island, the most important
Of the Tanning group, which also in
cludes Palmyra, Washington and
Christmas Islands, was discovered by
Captain Tanning in 1893. The same
year he saw Washington Island for
the first time, and named 1t for the
American general and patriot. Christ
mas Island, the most southerly and
easterly of the group, was discovered
by the English navigator, Captain
Cook. Tanning and Washington Islands
were afterward occupied by Gregg and

out that the doctor had loved Claire
for ever so long, but she had held him
at a distance, so that he never got a
chance to tell of his love. One day the
doctor had been standing at the WIN
dow. and overheard the girls talking
about the neatness of Claire's work,
when she was mending q tear in
LouiSe'S gown. He decided TO take ad-

this way TO get chance to offer him
self TO Claire-you see, he was pretty
sure who would get the prize. 1t was
very clever of him, think.

PRESIDENT PALMA. President Palma
has issued a decree increasing the
rurale guard force by 1000 men. 1t
is reported that Secretary of Public
Worke Montyalyo has been placed in
command.
According to a Havana dispatch
Guerra is advancing to take Pinar del
Rio with 500 men, VINO are marching in
three columns. There are only 300
rurales defending the city. The rebel
movement in Pinar del Rio is VIDE
spread Some estimates place the num-
Der of rebels there az 1000 1t is rul-
mored that Jose Miguel Gomez, with
coo men, is heading an uprising in
SanctuS Spiritus. 1t is impossible to
tell how big the movement is. II Co
mez is in arms it is a serious affair."
1t is also rumored' there is an uprising
i'll Cardenas. 1t is reported that a cab
met crisis is imminent and that Senior
O'Farrill, secretary of the government,
will resign.
Ever since the riotous disturbances
attending the Cuban general elections
last year there have been mutterings of
discomfort and occasional insurrection-
airy enterprises in various parts of the
island. At that time there was VIC
lent clash between the moderates and
the liberal parties, and Gen. Jose Mi
guel Gomez. the liberal candidate, open
ly defied the Palma government, declar-
ing it to be guilty of election frauds
and various forms of coercion. Riotous
disturbances, involving bloodshed, fol-
lowed at Cienfuegos and elsewhere.
The present revolutionary movement
in the provinces of Santiago, Havana
and Pinar del Rio indicates that the
men who have been inspiring the vari-
Gus riots, dynamite plots and insurrec-
tionary demonstrations that followed
last years elections are still busy. Gen
Gomez is again at the head of the trou-
bic and the movement has assumed a
sufficiently serious form to warrant the
government in mobilizing troops,
pitched battle being already reported.
The fact that rebel proclamations are
being literally distributed among the
rural guards recalls Gomez's boasts of
a year ago that in a crisis 60 per cent
of the troops would be found taking
sides against the government.
There is little to Indicate that the
present movement is anything other
than an uprising of political malcon-
tents and Adventures bent on getting
control of the offices, though the recent
action of President Palma in forcing
the liberals out of power in the Havana
council, causing them to resign in a
body, may be the immediate exciting
cause. At the time of the disturbance
of last year it was reported that the
revolutionsries' real object was to Gre
ate a situation which would menace the
government with a threat of interven-
ton by the United States 1t is quite
probable that their activity now is for
political effect, with an eye to a more
even division of governmental patron
age.

Rush for wyoming cold sands.

Since the report IF the geological sur

gold deposits in the black sand Of the
Douglas creek district, in Wyoming, a
rush of miners and prospectors from all
sections has begun. Chief Dag o. the sur
vey says that some supplies Of the sand
run as high as $3.50 per ton. This can
be worked at an expense Of 10 cents per
ton, nothing being required but washing
in waters. The sand also has 30 per cent
magnetic iron and 81 per cent Of hema-
tite, and there are thousands Of acres Of
it which can be worked as plaeers at very
little cost.

NEW MEAT INSPECTION LAW.

Secretary Wilson Anxious TO Re-
store Confidence in Our Products.
After the first day of October next
every piece of meat which leaves a pack
ing house or slaughter house will bear
brand or label marked u. s. inspected
and passed. And according to regula-
tons which were issued by the Secretary
of Agriculture the other day this brand
or label will be a notification to the world
that the United States absolutely guaran-
tees, under its official seal, that the pro-
duct is clean, wholesome, and that it was
packed and slaughtered under the most
careful sanitary conditions which the in
genuity of man can devise.
According to the census reports of the
year 1900 there were 500 packing plants
in the United States. The total capital
invested in the industry was 1921 ,699, 440,
and the value of the annual product of
these establishments reached the enormous
total of $913,914,624. OF course this in
cluded great many small establishments
which are not affected by the Wadsworth-
BevcTidge law, and the Secretary of Ag-
.1culture is not prepared to say at present
just how many of these plants will be sub
ject to government inspection, but. the
Secretary does say, and he says it with a
great deal of emphasis, that no establish
ment which fails to provide itself with
government inspectors will be permitted
to ship ham, quarter of beef or can
of goods, in which meat enters as COM
ponent part, to any place outside the
State in which the establishment is unless
it first provides for government inspec-
ton.
The new law will be put into full force
and effect on the first day of next Octo-
Der. On that day every ham, every side
of beef, every strip of bacon, every can
of lard, every package of meat food pro-
ducts, in fact, every particle of food of
which meat forms a part, whether in a
barrel, box, can or canvas sack, or in any
receptacle or container, or loose must
bear government stamp before a railroad
company will accept it for shipment to a
point outside the State in which it was

A New Artificial Respirn.or.

The Literary Digest translates from La
Nature the description Of a new apparatus
invented by DR.. Eisenminger Of Szasz-
varos, Hungary, for the purpose Of in
ducing abdominal breathing in the resusci-
tation Of persons apparently drowned. IL
consists of a cuirass fitted tightly about
the body, the chamber Of which is con-
nected by tube with bellows. The air is
then alternately compressed and exhaust
ed, thus causing the internal organs and
the diaphragm to rise crd fall rytbmically.
An incidental advantage is heart massage
at a time when the lungs are fun Of air.
Experiment has given favorable results in
apparently desperate cases.

Inject Pests.

The poultry house absolutely free of
lice and mites Is the happy exception
and not the general rule. One must be
ever vigilant and constantly aggressive

says Matte Webster In Poultry Topics.
When a breeder tells me that not
louise or mite can be found In his or
her poultry domain l cannot help think

houses would discover some Of these

thought truthfully, but l had rude

Of lice a general cleaning was the or
der Of the day, but never since have
declared as Systematically az In the

Propagnting Apple Trees.

Apples are propagated either by root
grating or by budding on seeding
stocks. If the former is employed,
scions of the varieties chosen are united
to 1-year-old roots by the whip, or
tongue grating method. Sometimes
short scions and long roots are used,
in which case the result is called
whole root graft, and sometimes long
scions and short pieces Of roots are
used, when the result is known as a
piece root graft. Root grating Is done
at any time during winter or early
spring. If budding Is resorted to, the
Seeding stocks are lined out in spring
and budded close to the ground in sum-
mer by the T-budding, or shield-bud
method

Chinese Goose Good Layer.

Often difficulty is experienced in get
ting the old farmyard geese to lay ear
ly in the season, but that may be sur
mounted if the Chinese variety be more
extensively kept. The Chinese goose
is a most prolific layer, and the flesh
makes excellent eating. So long as the
huge fat geese are not in demand, the
smaller and more profitable Chinese
may be taken up with advantage. Per
haps the best crossbred goose for gen
eral early marketing purposes is that
produced from mating Chinese gander
with Toulouse goose, but if larger
supply of eggs Is required, the mating
should be reversed. In either case the
youngsters are extremely hardy, grow
ing and feathering more quickly than
any other breed or cross. They should
attain a weight of eight or nine pounds
by the end of the summer with very lit.
tie hand feeding.

Angorn. GROWING I'm Favor.

The value of grade Angora goats
says American Sheep Breeder, depends
chiefly Oh how we'll they are bred. Low
grade Angoras with only two or three
crosses of Angora blood should be
worth in Oklahoma $3.50 or $2.75 a
head. A better grade of Angoras. say
three quarter blood, probably would
cost $3.50 a head. Mohair is worth
this year from % to 40 cents pound,
depending upon the length, fneness
and condition of the hair. There Is
10 doubt, Mr.. Blair, about the future
OF the Angora business. The Angors
is already a national institution in this
country and Is here to stay, and we are
pleased to say to you that Angoras are
growing steadily in favor each year
On new, wild, brushy land they are
simply invaluable and a hundred OF
them are worth more to clear up a new

ever welded an axe, because they clean
it up thoroughly, leaving no live roots
or sprouts behind them.
