! The strawberry Is probably the
most widely-grown fruit IN the world.
There are varieties adapted to almost
every climate and condition, from
Alaska to Florida. Our cultivated
kinds have been developed. from the
Chilian strawberry and the common
Wild strawberry. The alpine straw
berry OF Europe Is the parent Of the
ever-bearfng varieties which are now
coming into prominence in some
places. They, however, are not as yet
Of sufficient value to deserve much
attention. The strawberry is one Of
the frst fruits on the market in the
spring, and hence is always welcome.
The best time to set q strawberry
bed Is the early. spring, as soon as
the land Is In good condition and the
plants can be obtained. There Is
more moisture as rule at that time:
and this, combined with the cool
weather Of spring, gives better grow
Ing conditions than August planting.
Plants may also be set in the fall,
II extra attention and care are given
them. It does not pay to set the
plants In dry soil or in dry season,
Unless plenty of water for irrigation
purposes is available.
Any land that will grow a good
crop OF corn will grow strawberries.
Sod land should never be used If it
can be prevented, as 1t is likely to
contain grubs and cut-worms, which
will eat of the roots of newly-set
plants. A well-drained, friable clay
loan Is probably best for straw
berries-a soil that warns up easily
and vet will hold sufficient moisture
for the crop.
Strawberries require a rich soil,
hence it is well to thoroughly ma
nure the land that is to be used for
the crop in the fall, and pillow under
from four to six inches deep. In the
spring disk, drag and smooth thor
oughly. This gives a loose soil in
which to set the plants, and firm
sub-soil to hold the moisture, and yet
open enough to let the roots through.
A northern slope is to be preferred,
as the plants do not start so early
In the spring. They thus escape the
early frosts and they are not SO like
ly to be dried out by the hot winds
at fruiting time. Many growers, how
ever, obtain good results on south
ern slope, in spite Of the disadvant-
ages.
Some growers prefer to fruit the
bed only one season: in this case, as
soon as it is through fruiting, the bed
Is plowed up and some late crop,
such as turnips or fodder corn. plant
ed on the land. # 1t is desired to

keep the bed fruiting more than one
year, a plan like the following Is often
used: AS soon as the bed is through
fruiting, the plants are moved with
horse mower or by hand, close to the
ground, and then the bed is raked
clean and the trash burned; or else,
If it is very dry, the bed may be
burned over without raking. If this Is
attempted, however, the leaves and
straw must be very dry, SO they will
burn hike a fash; otherwise injury
will be done the plants. When the
trash is disposed of, pillow furrow on
each side Of the row, leaving about

trench with well-rotted manure, and
cultivate the soil back. Then With q
sharp hos cut out all the weak and
diseased plants left. leaving the plants
ABOUT six inches apart. These will
soon send out runners and form new
bed BY fall. In this way much dis
eased foliage and some insects are
gotten rid Of. A good horse Guilt
vator can often be used instead Of a
plow. The use to which the fruit Is
TO be put will influence the picking.
II Tor home or local use the fruit may
be picked somewhat ripper than If it Is
shipped long distance. No matter
where 1t Is marketed. care must be
used In picking to keep the patch
picked clean every day.
Do not pick when the fruit or vines
are wet, as this will cause the fruit
to be soft and to spoil in transit.

city of the interview with Whitelaw

ina New York newspaper, in which
the American diplomatic representa-
tive was quoted as saying that condi-
tons in England just now were SIM
liar to those in France before the rev.

The question was withdrawn q few
days ago, owing to pressure brought
on Sir Henry by the government.
Inc question was again submitted,
however, in altered form, and passed

ua' general political conditions in the

u prevailed in France before the revo-
,u'lon' and whether he will ascertain
rum the American ambassador
suetner the interview is accurately
described?'

PROFIT MADE IN
CULTURE OF FISH
Caxo Need Not Interfere With
Other Work on Farm
Tanks Must Have
Clean Gravel.

To make success in fish culture
the tanks must be provided with clean
gravel and the bottoms raked once a
week. If the tanks are disturbed by
fish hawks, bull frogs, mink or other
pests, place strips Of board across
the tank and cover with wire netting
that can be removed when cleaning.
The food will scatter through the
wire.
When the tank is ready to receive
the fry, order from a commercial fish
hatchery 10000 speckled, square-tail-
ed, brook trout fry that will cost from
SO to IS per thousand, according to
age. For four weeks after Matching
no feed will be necessary. Nature pro-
vides a sack for fry to first con-
sumo. For the next six weeks skim
med milk curd may be fed three times
a day; after that sheep and pigs liv-
er, poultry waste cut fine, or a COM
mercial food made in the form Of a
meal containing fish and grain, at a
low cost. This should be fed to the
fish the same as poultry is fed.
Surprising the cost of tank and fry
is $50 and cost of feeding $25, to-
tai of SIS, and 5000 Of the 10000
fry grow to fingerlings the first sea-
son. BY September the f1ngerlings are
worth $25 per thousand, and will find
ready sale If put on the market.
The producer has left the tank and
$50 above the cost, with a chance to
save many of the other 5000 fry not
reckoned. There are no fertilizer
bills to pay, no spraying Of trees. no
waiting a year for returns, no work
ing in the hot sun killing weeds-just
q lot Of wholesome fun that need not
interfere with other work on the
farm.

Oroxco u Revengsd on Former Rival
Refugees In Danger. 8
FL Psso, Tex.-Word was resolved
here that General Paseho gyillA the
federal leader II the Laguna district
Of Mexico, had been captured BY reb-
els and ordered shot and that severe
battle was fought st Gomez PalAcio :
week ago. Twenty-Five hundred fore
igners in the Laguna district are said
to be trying to escape from the coun-
try.
News Of the battle was brought in
by three refugee Americans, the van
guard OF the French, German and
other foreigners fleeing from Mexico.
Thirty eight federal soldiers and ten
rebels were killed in the fighting, it
was reported. The engagement was
not decisive. Torreon and Gomez
Palacio, large railroad station, are
connected by streetcar. The latter was
and is still in the hands Of the 90
called liberals, or rebels, while the
former is controlled by the govern
ment troops.
Pablo Lavine, supposed federal
officer, was discovered to have been
taking rifles and ammunition from
Torreon to Gomez Palacio, and it was
determined to attack Gomez Palacio
at once. A force of 1000 federal
volunteers was assembled for the pur-
pose. The federal regulars, number
ing 1900 men. declared that they
were loyal to Madero, but that they
would not leave the city to the danger
from looters. The volunteer army
was met on the outskirts of Gomez
Palacio and thousands Of shots were
fired. The volunteers then retreated
back to Torreon.
The report Of the capture of Gen
eral Pancho Villa came in a telegram
from General Orozco to General Ponce
at Juarez. The telegram repeated q
report whcih Orozco had received from
General Salazar at the front that Colo
mel Salazar, semi-independent lead
er, killed, wounded or captured a por-
ton of Villas small force and said
that he had overtaken and captured
Villa and 20 of his men, with 20, 600
pesos.
Villa was said to have offered to
join the liberal movement, in reply to
which Orozco, according to his tele-
gram, ordered him shot. Orozco and
Villa were personal enemies.
Villa, like Orozco, was one Of Fran
cisco I. Madero's trusted leaders in
the revolution against President Diaz.
When the present revolt started his
attitude was matter of speculation
for some time. Both sides claimed
him. Three weeks ago he declared
himself loyal to his old chief, Madero.
