THE STRAWB FERRY.
Have a Bed of the Luscious Fruit for
Your Own Use on the Farm.


The strawberry is the first berry
fruit to ripen in the spring and a
generous planting of them should be
made. They follow closely after rhu
barb and asparagus. | will not at
tempt to give cultural directions eX-
cept in briefest outline. The soil
must be rich and the plants must be
set in spring for best results. 1t
takes from 200 TO 500 plants to sup
ply a family depending upon the
wants of the family and the skill Of
the grower. They should be set in
rows five feet apart in the row. All
weeds must be hoed out by hand that
do not come in line with the cultiva-
tor. The cftener they are cultivated
and hoed, the better will be the
growth and the larger the crop of
berries. When winter comes, explains
The Northwestern Agricu]turist, the

weather. There are numerous va
rieties of strawberries and most of
them are valuable under certain con-
ditions. The varieties that make a
great run of plants are the best for
the average farmer to grow. They do
best when given careless culture and
stand the winter bettr than more ten

OPEN GAME SEASON
STARTED THIS
MORNING
Many Hunters Left Early This
Morning for The Woods
GOOD SEASON ANTICIPATED
Rabbits, Partridges, Snipe, Gray
Squirrels. and Woodcock May Now
Be Shot Without Penalty

The open season for several kinds
of game in this state started today
and many local men left early this
morning for the woods. Hunters are
of the opinion that cartridges and
woodcock will be plentiful this year.
Although quail are not abundant in
this section several coveys were found
in various parts of the town last year
and hunters expect to secure several
this year. The dry summer is declar-
ed to be favorable for this season s
birds
The game from which the penalty
of law for shooting was removed to-
day include rabbits, gray squirrels,
snipe, cartridges and woOdcock. Wild
ducks and geese may be shot from the
first of this month.
At the last session of the legsla-
ture law was passed compelling all
hunters to take out a license. For
residents the cost of tnis license Is
fifty cents. Town Clerk h. A. Booth
had up to this morning issued ll5 H.
censes. w. II. Bradford took out the
first license and Edwin ID. Moore the
second. 1t is expected that fully 300
will take out licenses before the end
of the season.
The first hunters to return with
game were II. p Woodman and Frank
Rudd. They went on to Mt. Anthony
at an early hour and returned about
1880 with one partridge and two SPUR
rels.
+. j. Hall and James Bent are in
West Arlington but will not return
before tnis evening. Claire w. Soule
and Edward S. Higgins went out early
in the morning and had not returned
at noon. An automobile party con
sisting of S. H. Blackmer, J. NJ. Ayres,
and T. p. Gregg left this morning to
hunt, ii Is reported, on Mt Anthony
This evening many of the local hun
ters will be returning and the amount
OF game they bring back will be
fair index of the seasons supply. I'm
less signs fail it will probably be bet

MANN RENoMINATED
Scores Pronounced Victory at Troy
Primary Election

Troy, Sept. 15.-Mayor Elias p.
Mann won at the Republican primar-
les yesterday, defeating George
Spence Jr., the organization candid
ate. The mayor carried all except the
Sixth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Elev-
enth and Thirteenth wards. Should
the two delegates from the Third
ward, who are unpledged, vote for him
in the city convention, he will have
a total of "a votes out of the possible
46.
1t was a greater victory than even
the most enthusiastic of the mayors
supporters anticipated, and more
complete defeat than the organization
thought possible under any circum-
stances. The result in the Fourth
ward, where the organization candi-
date, George Spence, Jr., resides; in
the Fifth ward, where the organizat-
ion leader has his nome; in the Sew
enth ward, where former District At
torney Jarvis p. 0'Brien. directed the
fight against the mayor, and in the
Fourteenth, where the organization
claimed particular strength, brought
particular surprise to the opponents
of the mayor. 1t must be said, how
ever, that the organization men, after
the result was known to them. did not
show vindictive spirit, and many
prominent among them quickly ex-
pressed a determination to give the
mayor hearty support from now on.
George Spence Jr., the defeated can
didate, declaring that he meant to
make good his promise to take off his
coat and give Mayor Mann loyal aid
the coming campaign.

TRIPLE SHOOT ING
YET UNSOLVED
MYSTERY
Second Child Victim Has Died
of Wound
CHILD'S FATHER WON'T TALK
Police Believe He Knows Who Muir.
derer Us But Is Afraid to Give
information.

Utica, Sept. 15.-The second victim
of the Italian child murderer died
yesterday morning in Paxton hospital
little Ferdinand Infusino, aged two
years, six months.
The police at every turn have
brought up before a blank wall OF
mystery. They are no closer to find
ing even the motive for the crime
than they were an hour after six year
old Fannie lnfusino was found Mon
day morning crying beside her dying
baby brother and the corpse of her
little playmate, Theresa Procopia,
aged seven, in tne mud in Gulf cul-
vert
The authorities. while they have lit
tie to work on, are confident they can
find the murderer. Mayor Wheeler
has offered a personal reward of $3.50
for the murderer. The city council
has increased this to $500. The pol
ice have two theories: Either the
shots We're fired Sunday evening by
man who hated the Infusino or Pro
copia family or else the children are
victims of a maniac.
The police have a strong opinion
that lnfusino knows who the assaiI-
ant is but is holding his tongue
through fear. Infusino has already
been questioned for hours but shed
no light on the mystery.
The police expect to get their best
information from Fannie Infusino. AS
yet she is too dazed from her wound
and the terrible night spent in the
open to tell a coherent story. She
told officers the murderer said he
would come back and kill ner If she
told his name. A number of Italians
have been brought before her She
looked at them for a moment, then
fell back on her pillow with the re-
mark that they were not the right
ones. THAT child is one hundred
years old" said Chief Brophy after an
hour spent at the little girls bedside
Apparently she is holding something
back, yet | cannot get her to tell what
it is" Brophy has given orders that
Fannie is to be left in absolute quiet
for "a hours. Then sac will be ques-
toned again.
The reward for the murderer of the
and Procopia children was
increased to $500 Tuesday afternoon
when Sheriff Frederick Gilmore Of |
tered $500 on the part of the county. |
Business men have offered $500. May
Or WheeleEwill give $3.50 and the city |
Is much more. Placards announcing |
he rewards with description of tne |
murderer in Italian and English are |
being posted in all Italian settlements |
n this part of the state.
