II is now time to be thinking seri-
ously OF winter protection for small
fruits For strawberries, the usual
covering of straw is good In mild
locations layer of straw not less
than four inches thick should be ap-
piled. In more severe locations this
would be increased to six inches. and
In the prairie sections 1t Is desirable
to use eight inches OF straw, or even
more.
The prevailing fence Of today Is
the woven wire variety. No better
fence was ever devised, provided 1t is
put up well, and no other fence Is 50
poor, ugly and inefficient II 1t Is erect
ed In slipshod manner.
Pick the fruit, empty II onto the sort
ing tables and pack 1t right in the or.
chard. II this method Is practised

is gathered from the trees.

hens kept In a yard and fed right will
lay more eggs than hens that run at
large all over creation. The feed bill

Is worth considering.
II swine are kept penned and are
given absorbents enough to keep them
fairly clean and dry, they will nearly
earn their keep in the amount OF fer
tilizer they will make, and 1t is the
best of its kind.
Apples will not be over-produced I'M
til every man, woman and child in the
land has all the apples he or she can
use, and gets them at moderate
price.

Start the trap nests SO 1t can be
known which are the best winter lay
ers. Almost any old hen will lay In
spring and summer; 1t takes good
hen to lay in late fall and winter.
