FERRIES REQUIRE TILLAGE.

The nature and habits of the
strawberry require that tillage be
continuous through the season.
Down in the crown of the plant are
being perfected fruit buds which are
large or small, strong or weak, as the
conditions for their development are
favorable or unfavorable.

DIANTHITS KNAPP.

A yellow pink" is somewhat an
anomaly, but as we have white pinks
as well we need not grumble at the
paradox the term implies. In Dian
thus Knappi we have one with yellow
flowers, and it is consequently a spe-
cies which arouses much interest in
the minds of those fond of the genus
dianthus. AS a garden plant it ap-
peals to many, but one finds that its
longevity is not always so great as
one would like, and that frequent
renewal from seeds or cuttings is de-
sirable. D. Knapp is one of the
erect-growing species, and reaches a
height of about foot, and looks even
better in the rock garden than one
would suppose from its character. 1t
is equally well suited for a border
flower, and in either place its sturdy,
erect growth and its clusters of yell
low flowers make it a favorite with
many, apart altogether from its un-
common color. 1t is easily raised
from seeds, but may also be multi
piled by cuttings, taken off immedi-
ately after Towering and stuck in
pots under glass. 1t is native OF
Hungary and adjacent parts. Its
Towering time is usually June and
July.-Journal of Horticulture.

/. Strawberries do well on almost
any we'll drained soil, which is free
from frost, reasonably fertile, and not
infested with white grubs.
2. There is little danger of max
ing the soil too rich, but there is a
possibility of injuring the plants with
commercial fertilizers, IL placed too
closely about the roots, and with
coarse manure.
8. Commercial fertilizers seem to
have no effect on white grubs, nor
does manure, but the latter stimu-
lates the plants SO as to repair the
damage.
4. The best fertilizers are we'll
rotted manure, bone meal and wood
ashes.
8. The best method Of preparing
the soil is to plow in the fall, mulch
with manure, and fit the ground in
the spring with cultivator and har-
row.
6. The best time to set strawberry
plants is in early spring. When
plants are to be set in the fall they
should be especially grown for the
purpose, either in frames or in pots.
Z. For matted rows the plants
should be set eighteen inches by four
feet apart, and for hills one foot by
three.
8. In hill culture the runners are
all removed, and for the best results
In matted rows a part should be cut
of, or some Of the plants dug out.
8. Generally, 1t is better to keep
bed only one season, but II kept
longer the best treatment is burning
soon after fruiting.

WHIPS PUPIL FOR EATING
LEXIS; COUNTY AROUSED

In all the history Of Potter county
there has been no such incident, frac-
turing tradition and smashing prece-
dent, as consummated by this doughty
school teacher from Gold. The gather
ing and deYouring of leek has been a
popular pastime in Potter county for
years.
There is not a homestead In the coun-
ty where the leek hook has not a post
OF honor over the fireplace, emblematio
or that fragrant root, which to the Pot
ter county nostrils spells 'home"
wherever 1t is smelled.
The leek hook is the sign Of heraldry
here. 1t is one OF the handiest of houses
hold utensils. 1t can be used not only
IN uprooting h fragrant plant. but in
digging potatoes, beets. turnips, car
fots, splitting kindling and a thousand
uses to which domesticity is heir.
The pioneers found 1t a handy weapon
IN defending themselves from the as
saults of panthers. bears and wolves

Wen equipped Potter county foot. Oft
en- duels We're fought with them to de-
supremacy in the affections of
some buxom lass. n even during the
civil war, they won renown "along the
rebel lines"
To punish a growing Potter county
child for eating leeks, is like Furnishing
common children for drinking milk. It
IS almost sacrilege to attemp to stamp
out by force a custom so long estab-
lished.
Public sentiment is with the leek. and

declared. to secure to the people Of Pot
ter county their right to pluck and eat

little intelligence and study to
conduct il in the best fashion,
they are apt to be discouraged

will be more successful if he adds
some recreative work. This is
entirely different from his regu-

ke'p,ng is especially desirable
in this connection, as there are
very few kinds of work that are
so full of interest and so gener-

yield seed should be interested
