STRAWBERRY is VERY HARDY
Plant VIII Stand Severe Weather. but
ls Injured by Alternate Thaw-
Ing and Freezing.

The strawberry plant is very hardy,
standing severe and continued freez-
ing weather but is often injured by
alternating freezing and thawing,
therefore we must cover 10 prevent
this injury. Any coarse, strawy ma
terial, like old hay, straw. leaves. pine
needles or strawy stable manure can
be used for this purpose.
OILY a thin covering is needed. Just
enough to prevent thawing until the
warm weather OF spring. Most grow
ers OF strawberries delay covering
until the ground becomes frozen so
that a team may be driven over the
ground without cutting Il; but Il Is
better In the home garden to cover
the bed as soon as the ground begins
TO freeze.
Blackberry canes may be protected
in the same manner. but the roots
must be started with a fork so that
the bending shall not come upon the
canes, which would be broken If bent
over.

FEEDING THE HEAVY MIXER
Large Producers More Than Balance
Added Cost, According to Theory
Of Prof. r. w. Woll.

Some people are apt to claim that
great mixers require feeding the
cost OF which more than balances
the added value OF their produce
Those who have this notion should
consider the statement made by Prof.
F. w. Wol in his address before the
Western Guernsey Cattle Breeders
association, who brought up the fol.
lowing figures;
At the close Of the Wisconsin COW
competition, the Holstein COW. Caro-
line Paul Parthenia, was accorded the
honor OF being the largest producer
Of butter fat The feed eaten during
the year by this COW at market prices
was valued at si2950, while the feed
eaten by the lowest producer was
S4S.32, but as Mr. Woll says:
THE production Of butter fat and
skim milk at fair values would bring
for the poorest COW S6S24 and for
the best COW S2s3.24. II we subtract
the cost of the feed from the value OF
the products, We get what may be
termed net returns. amounting Ia
1892 for the low producer and $154,
A for the record COW. This. there
fore. is the situation: The best COW
produced over 300 per cent. more but
ter fat than the poorest COW; her
feed cost l6S per cent more, but she
gave 60 per cent. larger returns"

shade trees, and the wooded districts

nest near the summit Of some dead
topped tree where he and his wife
rear their brood OF ten to twelve
healthy. hungry youngsters, each Of
them requiring, nay. demanding to
be fed Practically all this birds food
is obtained by boring. It is impos-
sible to even guess at the number OF
noxious insects destroyed by them in
a season. A pair Of them nested in
a dead cottonwood near my uncles
orchard in Yakima valley one year,
and watched them one day
through a pair Of glasses when the
young were about half grown. says a
writer in an exchange. The two
birds made ninety-six trips in one
hour to the tree, each time carry
ing worm It is pretty safe to
calculate that ninety-six apples We're
saved in that hour, practically a box,
worth say, one dollar. If the birds
worked ten hpurs per day they were
worth to my Uncle ten dollars. or in
three weeks the young we're in the
nest s2iO. Can you afford to kill a

After all rotten apples. pruned
limbs and other refuse have been
cleaned up about the orchard the
trees should be given a thorough
spraying
II possible. one should choose a
warm day for this operation, 50 most
OF the insect pests, crawling out TO
lie in the sunlight, will be exposed
to the action Of the spraying solution.
Special attention should be given
old knots. rough and rotten spots
about the trees. as in these places
is where the .fiuit pests deposit their
eggs for next seasons crop and at
the same time many OF these pests
themselves are harboring in these
safe retreats till winter is over.
There are several reasons for this
fall spraying. It not only destroys
the insect pests, but their eggs also,
which have been laid.
After the spraying the trees will
be left healthy and clean and free
from the pests while they are develop
ing their next seasons fruit crop
Another light spraying next spring
will not come amiss. but this fall
spraying will insure the work beinl
done-not neglected next spring wher
the rush season is on and the fielC
turns the farmers attention from the
orchard
