Growing strawberrien.

When growing strawberries for mar
ket the solidity Of the berry is an Inn
portant desideratum, as market berry
should possess good shipping qualities.
Then should follow size, brilliancy Of
color and flavor. For family use the
keeping qualities are not important, the
flavor deserving more notice. 1t is not
dificult to find superior berry, pos
sessing size and flavor, for home use.
The attention Of growers is devoted
mostly to securing varieties that are
firm in texture and Of large size so
as to stand shipment well and show at
tractiyely In market.

weeds and Grass.

The earth is seemingly able to pro
duce weeds or grass, whether fertile
or poor, and they always appear at the
same time, when the crops need the
most care. Weeds are beneficial to a
certain extent, although injurious, for
the gardener is often compelled to era
dicate them when he would otherwise
give the garden his attention. BY so
doing he keeps the soil in fine, friable
condition for the desired crop. Weeds,
however, should be removed as soon
as they appear; by SO doing the work
can be more easily done, and the stir
ring Of the soil will then be required
only to moderate depth.

ways of the Green Bug.

Those who have been watching the
green bugs say that they fly only on
winds blowing from the south, and the
minute the wind changes from the
south and gets In the north the bugs
alight. This was demonstrated one
evening last week. according to Law
renee (Kan.) paper. After eight hours
of nagglng, blustery south wind the air
was filed with these bugs. At o'clock
In the same evening the wind switched
to the north and the bugs disappeared.
The bugs have been coming from Texas
for two months, and on every south
wind they move northward.--Platte

oatn aa Green Feed

Oats can be made to provide an abun-
dance Of food by being grown and cut
while the heads are in milky stage
The straw Is then in palatable condi-
ton, containing portions Of the nutri-
fion which have been arrested on their
way to fll out the heads. When cut In
this green condition the straw and heads
are cured like hay, can be bundled and
then stacked on the ground for winter
use. The proper way to feed oats
cured in that manner Is 10 pass them

When Bishop Talbot, now of the

"the cowboy bishop" Of Idaho and
Wyoming he never overlooked an op.
portunity OF securing contributions
for the missionary work in which he
took !ch delight. On one occasion.
while attending a meeting OF church
dignltaries in st, Paul, he was chatting
with some other clergymen on the
steps of his hotel when several ho-
bocs came along. One of them ap-
preached and asked for aid. Bishop
Talbot took him aside and after a
short but earnest conversation the
other tramps saw something pass
