 The biggest race of the year, from a money point of view, will be the histor ic Futurity, to be decided at Sheeps. head Bay probably in September. The Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps may be run again, if only to perpetuate their names, but the added money will be nothing compared to that of former years.
 The slump that the racing game has undergone is best evidenced by the fact that the salaries of officials, jockeys, trainers and other employees have been cut in half, while the ordinary running expenses of the track will also be great ly reduced.
 As far as betting goes, the track own. CTS have instructed the Pinkertons to enforce the law strictly, so that specu- lators who may take chances by record ing wagers will do so on their own re- sponsibility. In accordance with court decisions rendered so far it is legal for individuals to make oral bets. It is also legal to sell advance information, while it is question whether the display of odds can result in conviction for a violation of the statute.
 Many cases for the violation of the Agnes-lIart anti-betting law are now peIding in the courts. In due time some of these cases may be passed upon, and if these are favorable verdicts the rae ing situation may be cleared pp. The fact that at least half of the season has been left unapportioned by the Jockey club would corroborate the gen eral opinion that if the eases in the courts should be decided 30 as to per init individual and oral betting and reg istration of wagers the attendance would be 80 good as to warrant there being fall meetings at both Acqueduct and Jamaica.

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and back
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten.
For hot climates Quaker Oats is
packed in hermetically sealed Tins
keeps fresh and sweet anywhere.

Strawberry Planting.

From. the Outing Magazine.
 Planting strawberries is a bit of fine art. You cannot crowd them into the ground as you would cabbage plants, or thrust them down as rapidly as you do raspberries, but you must mako hole about half as large again as the roots Of the plant when spread out in all direc- tions ..sin the center of the hole let the dirt be mounded so that when the plant is set on the top of that it will be 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 crowding down is an important matter with all plants, and the spread of the roots is vitally important with the straw berry. The loose dirt on top will serve as a mulch to retain moisture In the soil, and gather it from the air. As soon as the bed Is finished there should be top dressing or mulch of fine rich compost. I suppose that most of the planters would direct you to use commercial 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 well. For a larger plot l believe that tile drains offer the best method. Distribute the water through the fields in pipes or troughs with small holes in them A stopcock should be provided to shut off the water or turn 1t on at pleas ure. The tile should be deep enough to escape the cultivator and the plow-not less than two and a half feet below the surface If water runs all the time you can block up the lower end when you wish to have it permeate the strawberry he'd. Three-inch tile Is about what you want. The strawberry Is great lover or water. and it not seldom happens that iust as the crop Is full of promise a few dry days ruin 1t. If watered by hand' a hole should be made by the side Of each plant, and not less than full quart or water poured slowly in until the ground is saturated; then brush dry dirt over the hole to retain the moisture and prevent cakina of the soil. One such watering will last three or four days. Sprinkling strawberry bed does more harm than good. unless repeated every few hours. This plan is altogether too serious Jop for A large bed, and 1 recommend that YOU be provided with underground tiles.

SUPREME COURT
 REVERSES CASE

Jackson, Miss. June A.-(special.) )-The supreme court has reversed and remand ed the case of J. w. Stewart vs. the state.
 Stewart was cashier of the Moss Point branch of the Bank of Scranton, which failed two years ago. and the president of which, ORourke, is now serving a term in the penitentiary They were charged with receiving deposits after they knew the bank was insolvent and sentenced to five years in the peniten- tiary.
 The reversal is given on what the court holds fatal error' in the instructions to the jury. MT. Stewart was in the court room when the decision was an nounced and was heartily congratulated.
