PLANT STRAWBERRIES
Every Farmers Garden Should
Contain Small Patch.
irrigation Should Be Given Often
Enough to Keep tho soll Moist
at All Tlmes-Few Successful
Varieties Arc Mentioned.

(By PROF. b. o. LoNGYEAR. Colorado
Agricultural College.)
This is the time to set out that
strawberry patch which every farm
er's garden should contain. Three rows
rs feet long ought to furnish all that
an average sized household requires
and have some left over for canning,
preserving or giving to the neighbors
who have neglected the matter.
Select as good soil as the garden
possesses and pillow under deeply
liberal dressing OF well-rotted manure.
Harrow down thoroughly and II very
uneven go over the ground with some
Kind OF leveling implement. Run small
burrows three to three and one-half
feet apart. Set the plants in the side
OF these burrows. using a spade to
open the soil and the foot to press 1t
against the roots. Most varieties may
be set Is to IS inches apart In the
row. although for those that make
numerous runners. as the Dunlap, 20
inches to two feet Is often close
enough.
II Ia well to run stream OF water
IN the trenches just behind the plant
er or as soon after planting as pos
sible.
Irrigation should be given often
enough to keep the soil moist at all
times. In a small garden plat II Is
often possible to fill the trenches with
dry soil few hours after irrigation
and thus check evaporation. Keep
the soil well cultivated between the
rows and hoe or pull all weeds in the
row.
The first runners should be allowed
to root in the row so as TO fill up be-
tween the plants. Covering the tips
with little soil when they are fully
developed will often assist roofing AS
the season advances the runners may
be allowed to spread out more, but
there should be some space between
the rows preserved for running mar
row cultivator or wheel hoe.
At the end of the growing season
one should have matted rows is
are largely grown in this state for
market and most OF them are also de
sirable for home use:
Bederwood. an early. very suitable
berry OF vigorous growth. A little
soft for shipping.
Jucunda. a medium late variety suit
able for moist soils. Berry large anC
OF good quality. The favorite variety
grown near Denver.
Captain Jack. a vigorous. stockl
plant. which produces well as me
dunn early variety.
Senator Dunlap. an excellent medi
um early variety which produces run
ners freely. The fruit is OF excellen
quality. but does not hold its size a.
late as some.
Ridgeway. a mid-season variety o
vigorous habit and good productive
ness The fruit is large. but rattle
tender for market.
Numerous other varieties are grow
in Colorado with more or less success
but the list is too long TO give here.
, For the home garden almost any o
the above mentioned. If given goo
care. should be found successful.

We built a sheep barn in 1905. 1t
Is 60xS0 feet, standing north and
south. The doors are all at the ends.
The feedracks divide the lower floor,
all of which is used for the sheep,
into four spaces about twelve feet
wide in the clear. There are doors nine
feet wide at each end of each space
TO allow driving through with a ma
nure spreader. The end section of
each feedrack is left out so that the
sheep may pass freely TO any part of
the barn. writes Lee Colony of John
son county, Ia, in the Breeders Ga
zette. The hay is stored over the cen
trail portion of the barn. The haymow
is so feet wide, leaving a space of 10
feet on each side where no hay is
stored. Hay is taken in at each end of
the barn. Large gates are fastened by
hooks to the posts at the side Of the
NOW, then, in feeding. the gates are
moved little away from the hay,
which makes it possible to throw the
hay directly into the racks below all
along each side of the NOW. The hay
has to be carried to the ends of the
feed alley.
The feed racks are constructed of
boards IL inches wide placed hori-
zontally. The lower portion is feet
wide and one board high. The next
board is set in inches and raised up
or s inches to leave a space for the
sheep to reach the hay. The upper
part is sloped outwardly The feed
troughs are a unique feature. They
are inches wide and inches deep
inside. They are made of 1-foot
boards. They are not fastened rigidly
to anything. but are made to raise and
lower. Each trough is 40 feet or sc
feet long. Those on the hayracks are
made right in the line of parts; that
/ is. the bottom of the trough is cut out
where the post goes through and the
sides of the trough pass up and dowr
on each side of the post Then at
each post a small rope is fastened tC

The hive should be just the right
depth so that when the frames are
hung in the rabbets they will hans

the bottom of the hive.
a cheap bottom-board may be made
by mailing four strips together. leav-
ing one of the ends an inch lower

Set this on the ground and i'll with
sawdust or clean sand and you have
a bottom-b board that will serve the
purpose just as well as a more ex
pensive one. A very good cover may
be made by cutting a wide board just
the right length and mailing strips or
each end TO keep it from splitting.

use. but. as l said before, as a make

Generally speaking. cheap Contrap-

strain of caring for the child, and

There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of chill

conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
