STRAWBERRY PLANTING.

Planting Strawberries is bit of fine
art. You cannot crowd them into the
ground as you would cabbage plants,
or thrust them down as readily as you
do raspberries. but you must make q
hole about half as large again as the
roots of the plant when spread out in
all directions; in the center Of the hole
let the dirt be mounded, so that when
the plant is set on the top of that it
will he a little higher than the level
of the ground. Spread the roots over
this and brush the hole half full OF
dirt: now crowd down tightly until
the crown of the plant is exactly level
with the soil; then fill the hole full OF
soil Lightly pressed, and brush over
the top dirt not pressed at all. The
plant should now set exactly level
with the surrounding dirt, and the
reason for this is that the runners
when starting should have nothing to
hinder them. The crowdin3 down is
an important matter with al plants,
and the spread OF roots is yitally I'M
portant with the strawberry, The
loose dirt on top will serve as mulch
to retain moisture in the soil, and
gather il from the air. As SION as the
bed is finished there should be top
dressing or mulch OF fine, rich COM
post. ! suppose that most of the plant
ers would direct YOU TO use CONNER
cial fertilizers. If you insist on doing
this you will find directions in the
Bulletins OF many OF the Experiment
Stations.
Irrigation is more essential for the
strawberry than for any other member
Of the Rosaceae family, A small bed
near the house can be attended to With
little difficulty but a small plot near
the barn can often be watered with
hose from the barn we'll. For larger
plot believe that tile drains offer the
best method. Distribute the water
through the fields in pipes Or troughs
with small holes in them A stop
cock should be provided to shut OFF
the water or turn it on az pleasure.
The tile should be deep enough to es-
cape the cultivator and the pillow not
less than two and a half feet below
the surface II water runs all the
time you can block mp the lower end
when YOU wish to have Ii perneate
the strawberry bed. Three-inch tile
is about what you want. The straw
berry is a great lover of water, and II
not seldom happens that just as the
crop is full of promise a few dry days
ruin it. If watered by hand a hole
should be made by the size OF each
plant, and not less than full quart
of water poured slowly in, until the
ground Is saturated; then brush dry
dirt over the hole TO retain the mois-
ture and prevent caking OF the soil
One such watering will last three 81
four days. SprinEing strawberry
bed does more harm than good, unless
repeated every few hours. This piaf
is altogether too serious a job for
large bed. and recommend that yol

Yes, 1t is true. Eve been in love before. How many girls? Oh forget-a score. Perhaps. But when you came upon the
 scene, I knew they were but handmaids to
 Queen But maids of honor, who had played
 their part Preparing for the Princess of my heart A kingdom small, but blest if one so fair Enthroned in state might reign forever
 there! Too small realm, the life I have to
 live, But, Sovereign sLiege. 'Tis all have to give! Your kingdom now lovely land appears, Warmed by your smiles and blighted by
 your tears; Bounded by Heaven, beneath it and
 above, It's coin is kisses, and it's law is love. Will you reign there? None may your
 rule dispute It is a monarchy, and absolute. Your subjects are my thoughts; none are
 more true, And none more loyal than my thoughts,
 to you If they do wrong for thoughts will some
 times err). Your frown shall be their executoner Reign then supreme, in more than royal
 state And know that, should you ever abdi-
 cate, The crown will rest upon others

EGYPT OF THE WEST

says in his delightful Jamaica from an Englishman's point of view, at least, is so true.
 So far as we are concerned" he writes, the history of the Indies is a medley of romance, the romance of British greatness. There we laid the foundations of our empire; the Carib- bean sea is the font of the temple of our greatness"
 And of this fact brave old Archdea- con Downer, the rector of Kingston, re- minds you when he points out to you the burial place of Admiral Benbow, who sleeps his last sleep in the historic parish church of Kingston-a church in which is many record of England's S imperial greatness, although the build ing itself is almost a total wreck, a painful memory of the earthquake of two years ago.
 The West Indies always possess un- dying fascination and interest for the , lover of romance. When you stand upon one of those beautiful little Ja- maican silver-sand beaches, girt with gracefully-bending palm trees, and gaze out upon the blue horizon, you find yourself almost unconsciously thinking of dear old R. NJ. Ballan- tyne's Coral Island" or w. H. G. Iiingston's Three Admirals," and the glimpse you obtain of white sail glid- ing and glooming in the far distance reminds you of some little caravel of EliZabeth'S lCng-dead splendid and spacious days.
 And then there are the flowers and foliage, the palms and trees and ferns to reward one for ramble inland. There is nothing to equal, much less to surpass, the superb flowers of a Jamai- can roadside. It is fragrance and beauty all the way. So, whether upon the shore or inland, one is always re- warded with objects of interest.
