STRAWBERRIES.

One of the first considerations in
growing strawberries is the very short
root, and the consequent need of a
good supply of water. No other berry
plant has so short a root, and no
other stands SO necessarily in need
of showers or irrigation. Therefore,
soil that is capable Of absorbing and
retaining water is ideal for the
strawberry.
Straw berries may be planted early
in the spring or early in the fall.
The matted row, which is the re-
suit Of cultiyating only, one way, is
liked by all growers. The winter
covering is advisedly straw, the plants
being permitted TO push their
blossoms up through thin layer Of
straw in the spring. This plan Of
having some straw on the vines
keeps the ripe berries clean and
away from the sand and dirt.

tentiOn.> Just as he did SO the big
wheel flew back with such force that
the arm was broken above the elbow,

and few bruises inflicted on the
head. Mr.. Nelson was extricated

arm to heal Mr.. Nelson is bearing

PAPER BASEBALL BATS NEXT.

The home runs Of future base
ball games will be knocked out
with paper bats, : Joseph Taggart,
a baseball bat salesman, said to a
reporter Of the Kansas City Star at.
the Hotel Baltimore the other night.
White hickory and ash from
which ball bats are now manufact-
.ured are getting scarce, and the
process Of seasoning the wood is
long and tedious. Itrequires three
years to season the white hickory
and ash. The wood cannot be kiln
dried, SO that with the long process
and the scarcity Of timbers, bats
are getting higher in price every
year. But the corner lot slugger
must have cheap bat, and that is
what the manufacturers are trying
to make Of paper. =

TO KILL Wild
MUSTARD
State Experiment Station Will
Spray it With Iron
Solution.

Ihe Minnesota Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station will undertake
Within the next ten days number
OF experiments on a large scale. of
killing wild mustard by spraying the
held Infected with solution of
sulphate of iron. The American
Steel and Wire company of Chicago.
has donated for this purpose go, 900
pounds of sulphate of iron and an
especially designed spraying machine
imported from Germany which has
been shipped to Crookston.
Experiments will be conducted at
Iennev, Georgetown. Ada, Crookston,
Warren and Kennedy. 1t is pro-
posed to begin work as soon as the
mustard is sufficiently advanced by
shipping the material and machine
to one of the points named, spray a
large field that had previously been
selected, load the material and equip
ment on the first train and ship to
the next point and SO on until all
fields are sprayed.
These fields will be carefully watch
ca and visited by experts several
times during the summer. and the
conclusions based on the observations
distributed among the farmers of the
state.
Since wild mustard is a serious
menace to the growth of cereals. in
many places, these experiments will
be watched with great interest.

CAN FURNISH CARS.

The 500 railway company has sent
to it's agents the following letter,
which explains itself: -...a.
Mr.. f. NJ. Chatfee, Agent, Warren.
Dear Sir
We are now in position to furnish
empty cars promptly for practically
all shipments to all points.
Just how long this condition will
exist il is impossible to say.
While it does exist all shippers
should take advantage of it and
ship everything they possibly can.
l would suggest that they go to
the extent of advising their custom
ers Of the present favorable condi-
tions and impress upon them
(cIstomers) the Importance Of
letting them (shippers) ship every
thing they possibly can while condi-
tions are favorable and cars obtain
able.
In the interest of the community
and with a view to getting the in
formation to distant or occasional
shippers, suggest you give this in
formation to your local papers and
request that they publish it, giving
it the prominence it deserves as for
as they consistently can.
Yours truly,
Geo. G. Conn,
General freight agent.

MATH|ES0N
BREAKS DOWN
SteadfastIy CIinss to Story
That the Killing Was
Accidental

4 Peter MathiesOn. the young Dane
who killed John Johanson at Gull
Lake near Tenstrike, and is now
confined in the Beltrami county Jail
at Bemidji, is just beginning to rea-
liZe that the brutal murder of his
friend and companion may lead him
to the gallows. ..s
He has again related his version
of the killing of Johanson and main
tains that the shooting was purely
accidental. He cannot fix the exact
day of the shooting, but is certain it
was sometime the latter part of
February. He and Johanson had
Jointly purchased gun.
On the morning of the shooting
says Mathieson, he got up first and
made the fire, preparing for break
fast. He took the gun from the
wall, with the intention of going out
to get some rabbits. and Johanson,
who was lying in bed, showed him
how to load it.
When the gun was loaded, Johan-
son requested Mathieson to put a
stick of wood in the stove. Mathie-
son laid the gun on the table, and
when he did SO it was accidentally
discharged. the entire load striking
JohansoD in the head, entering the
front of his face just below the left
eye.
His story is somewhat disconnected
at this point. and he fails to account
for the TACT that the stock Of the gun
was broken when found and also that
Johanson's skull showed q fracture
of the lower jaw, being broken in
five places from blows inflicted with
some heavy instrument.
Mathieson says he knows nothing
about the broken gunstock or the
fractured skull.a and steadfastly clings
to his assertion that the, shooting
was accidental.
When asked why he did not in
form, some one of the accident, )"
tears came to Mathieson's eyes. and
he said that would probably have
been better.
A few days before Mathieson was
placed in Jail at Bemidji, a letter
addressed to him came from Den
mark, and was duly received at Ten
strike. The letter was opened by
the authorities. 1t was written by
P. e. Anderson, an attorney living
at Norresundby, Denmark, near
Mathieson's old home. and contained
the information that Mathieson's s
mother had died few days before
and request the power Of attorney
for brother Of Mathieson, who has
been appointed administrator.
Mathieson was allowed to read the
letter, and broke down utterly when
he had finished it.
The evidence showing Mathie-
sons calculations as to how he could
make away with his fellow laborer
and get his money, and how he after
wards tried to have his mail so ar
ranged that if the body was discover
ed the public would think it was
Mathieson who was dead, is so con-
vincing that it appears almost i'm
possible for him to escape conviction.
