PoTTING STRAWBERRIES.
Methods for the Starting of New
Plants.

The common method is TO fill Two
inch pots with ioamy soil and sink
them to the rim alongside of the run
ners TO be potted, and place one run
ner plant in the center of each, hold
ing 1t in place with small stone.
In favorable weather the pots will be
filled with roots in two weeks. The
plants are then severed from the old
plant and carried to frame, where
they can be shaded and watered for
a few days while they learn to get
their food through the roots instead
of depending on the plants that pro-
duced them. Another plan is to cut
off the young plants as soon as they
have roots one or two inches long,
and pot them and put them In a
frame at once. With good care they
will be ready for planting in two
weeks.
Still another way. suggested by the
Orange Judd Farmer, is to level up
the earth in the frame. place empty
pots one inch apart and sift potted soil
over them till they are more than full,
and level off with broom Then take
runners with the roots Just starting,
carry them to the cellar or any shell
tered place and trim them, cutting
off the runners, extending beyond the
node. and shortening the main run
ner to one inch. AS each one is
trimmed throw it into pail of water
Then carry the pail Of cuttings to the
frame and place one In each pot,
pushing the runner into the soil until
the part from which the roo.S are
sent out is well in the earth. Then
with the thumb and two fingers press
down the soil and cutting, leaving
the pot about twothrds full. Water
well and shade, giving less shade each
lay, until the young plants are rooted
and self-supporting. The first method
is the best for beginners, and the
second for those of more expert.

THE DAHLIA.
A Popular Garden Flower That Is Eas-
lily Grown.

Dahlias of various colors are now
very popular because they are so
easily grown. Several days, and
sometimes weeks, are gained in their
blossoming period when the tubers
or roots, are well sprouted before
they are planted in the garden. This
may be done in hot bed or a box
filled with earth which should be
kept warm and moist. The tubers
may be cut into pieces. much the
same as potatoes. which shall con-
tain only one or two stalks. This
is done after they have been sprouted
and rooted preparatory to planting out
doors.
The dahlia is most satisfactory
when only one stalk is allowed to
grow. This will form many branches
and make larger flowers than could
be obtained from several stalks
growing on one tuber. Plenty of
moisture and fertility are required to
develop the plants and i2sure bril-
liant colors. Keep the soil loose
and mellow about the roots of each
plant. Do not allow any of the
blossoms to ripen seed-pick them
as soon as they are in full bloom.
Send to the seedsmen for variety OF
colors.

SQUASH BUGS.
Guard the Young Vines from Their
Ravages.

Those pesky striped squash bugs
come in swarms, hence the plants
must be very carefully guarded,
otherwise they may be destroyed in
a single day. Frames covered with
cheese cloth or wire are the best pro-
lection. Their expense is small for a
few hills when compared to the
value of garden crop.
Air Stacked lime, with q few drops
Of turpentine added, busted over the
plants will drive the bugs to the
heighbors' vines. Wood ashes, with
little paris green added, busted on
the plants very early in the morning
Is also destructive to the pests. White
hellebore applied with a small powder
gun Is a deadly poison to bugs
and worms on plants and shrubs. Re-
member this when the current worms

TREE LABELS.
Zinc Is the Best Material Out of Which
to Make Them.

1t is often something of problem 20
hit upon a good label for tying to trees
and bushes, which is easily made. dur
able and from which the lettering will
not become washed off by rains, or H.
legible, owing to the discoloration of
the label. Where the trees are not
subjected to sprayings Of the Bordeaux
mixture, thin sheet zinc makes con-
venient and desirable label. Cut the
zinc with ordinary scissors or shears
into long, narrow strips, tapering
away at one end to point and on the
broad part write the memorandum de-
sired with an ordinary No. or No. 3
lead pencil. This is subject to erasure
or rubbing, when freshly written, but
the action of the air will soon cause
the properties of the lead to eat into
the zinc, making an indelible mark,
impervious alike to the elements and
handling. The tapering end Of the
zinc can be used as tie. and twisted
loosely to allow for growing around
a small branch of the tree labeled.
Zinc labels should not, however, be
used where Bordeaux mixture is used
as they will be eaten away by it.
In such cases copper tags can be used
which the Bordeaux mixture will not
injure, but then some other instru-
ments than lead pencil will have
to be used, for writing.

believes that strong sentiment In favor OF

religiously would result In progressive Utah
and certainly a happier Utah. Mr. WoOlf
comes from a section where there Is little or
no contention Of any kind, where the people
are united for progress and the greater welfare
OF the whole, and he necessarily finds contact
with Utah's conditions disagreeable beyond

THE COMING HORSE SHOW.

Smthfelds horse show advertised for April
II should have the hearty consideration of the
horsenien OF the valley While 1t Is not impos-
sibe that Smlthfed has taken snap Judgment
and considered the matter largely from a sell
fish standpoint and In spirit OF jealousy
toward Logan, there can be no question that a
horse show at Smithted will have good effect
in quickening the ideals OF the farmers who
will attend. Smithfeld ought to be able to
attract large number OF horses and people,
from the north end of the county especially,
and it Is certain that the town north OF us will
extend every courtesy and convenience possible
and make every effort necessary to successful
show.
AS we understand 1t, the regular annual
horse show of the valley will be given In Logan
at some later date and to this Smthfeld can
have no reasonable objection. The county seat
is centrally located, more accessible to horse
men and the public and offers greater convent
ences than any other town OF the valley. Nor.
can it be doubted that for these reasons a far
greater number Of people and horses will come
TO a show at Logan than would 70 to any OF the
smaller towns.
A Cache Valley Horse Show will be given In
Logan each succeeding year, as a matter OF
course, but there can be no reasonable objec-
tion 10 SmiIhfeld, Richmond, Wellsvie or
