The New stra wherry Bed.

The best authorities and the most sue
cessful straw berry growers insist that
early spring is the best time to set the
plants, but with farmers it is not
unusual that something interferes to pre-
vent planting at this time, and the work
is put off till fall.
Instead Of waiting till September,
have frequently planted directly after
the last berries are picked, and 6y taking
advantage of moist time have succeeded
in getting a good stand, and these mid
summer set plants, with their longer
time to grow, have become so we'll es-
tablished that they have given almost
full yield of berries at the first fruiting.
I consider il much better to plant at
any time during the summer, when con-
ditions are favorable, than to wait till
fall, when at best only q feeble growth
can be made before cold weather.
Usually the runners have not made
sufficient root growth in early summer
so they can be successfully planted, and
SO when the last berries are picked take
vigorous plants of last years growth and
remove to the new bed without allowing
the roots to be exposed to the air for any
length of time, aud il the ground is dry
| aim to leave some dirt adhering to the
roots, get as much damp earth as Is pos
sible about the roots and pack as solid az
possible.
The strawberry is a hardy plant
aud will live and grow II given fair
chance. OF course, it is impracticsble to
plant at this season unless one has bis
own plants or can get them in the neigh
borhood.
Where any one who owns a garden has
no plants growing for next years fruit /,
will pay we'll to set some now, get them
started and insure a supply for family
use fresh from the bed in far better
shape and condition than can possibly
be secured where the market is depend
ed on.
At this season they can be planted
between rows of early potatoes that will
soon be removed and out of the way, leav
ing all the ground W the plants, or they
can be planted where some other early
garden crop has been removed.
| To any one who owns or controls
ground it will pay we'll to start straw
berry bed, and do it a. soon as possible
to insure supply for next season OF the
best fruit that grows.-E. p. Snyder,
Norwalk, Ohio, in Tribune Farmer.

Man pow.r and Coal Power.

Does any one realize the power OF
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day, and at the end Of ten hours 1t
was found that he had done just as
much work as little less than two
ounces Of coal could do. Taking all
the energy put forth by hardwork-
ing man during one whole year, the
same amount Of force would be fur
nished BY thirty-six pounds Of good
coal, or say forty pounds Of average
coal. OF course even in our best en-
gines the greater part Of the working
energy of coal Ii wasted. But even
II only one-tenth Is turned to account
one and a half hundredweight OF coal
IS equal to q man working 800 days
Of the year. A horse can do as much
work as ten men, but one and a quar-
ter hounds Of coal have as much work
ing force as a horse expends IN one
day. So that q ton Of coal, II we
could use all It's force, would DO as
much work as six horses working for
a whole year.

soIvino the old Problem.

When Sir Thomas Upton was small
boy In Scotland he dropped into a
church one Sunday morning and was
put by himself In pew directly In
front of the minister, who preached
sermon Oh the text "Am my brothers
keeper?
The parson. who was unusually eio-
quent. talked on this theme for about
forty minutes and finally worked up to
the climax Of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little LIP
ton. who began to fdget and look very
self conscious. At last, after an over
wheIming outpOuring Of long words,
the minister, his eyes blazing, made
quick gesture and shouted at the boy:
"Am I my brothers keeper
Upton could stand the strain no lon
ger, and replied in q meek voice:

Milking Machine or Breeder.
A REASON WHY MANY HEAVY PRoDUC-
ING COWS BECOME BARREN.

r. c. NJ, Vinelsnd, N. j.: Kindly ad-
wise what to feed Holstein COW that
does not come in heat. We bought her
lately and the former owner said she
was in heat fifteen days after she had
her calf, last December. Can you let us
know what to feed her? She has good
pasture and gets bran, middlings and
beet pulp twice each day. She is In
good flesh and gives about fourteen
quarts Of milk daily. We wish to breed
her again at once. Kindly advise.
Ground oats Is the best grain to feed
cow that does not come In heat, and even
then they fail many times. At different
times have called attention to the fact
that many large producing COWS become
sterile when about five, six or seven
years old; not from any germ cause or
disease Of any kind. They simply are
unable to carry on two functions at the
same time-viz., produce large flow of
milk and at the same time keep the ma
ternal function sufficiently nourished to
cause desire to breed. note your de-
sires are to make this COW produce all
the milk she can or you would not be
feeding wheat bran middlings and beet
pulp.
note again that the farmer from
whom you bought her stated that she
came in heat fifteen days after she gave
birth to her last calf This of itself
shows an unbalanced condition Of her
functions. / see only one
,r two ways for you to manage this COW.
The first is to consider her as a milking
machine aud feed her for milk and con-
,inue to milk her as long as she produces
, paying quantity, then make beef OF
her. The second is to change her habit
IF milking by shutting her up in q stable
With only dry hay to eat for week,
which will diminish her milk flow per-
,aps one-balf or more; then begin feed
ng her literally on grain into which
ground oats enter largely, when she will
likely come in heat, yet may not get In
,alf IL served. As to her milk yield will
'ay she likely will not regain the present
low. The question remains whether 1t
will be more economical for you to con-
inue to use her as a milking machine or
o curtail the milk flow and strive to
make a breeder of her.-C. D. Smead,

curioaitias Of Sound.

There are mysteries In the transmits
sion of sound that have not yet been
fathomed. For example. the guns OF
the Orion are said to have been heard
ninety-seven miles away. though In
audible to those much nearer, and II
Is on record that the reverberadon OF
the battle Of Waterloo reached many
places In Kent. though General Col
Vile and his detachment heard nothing
of II Il dozen miles away. Whistles
boots, sirens and noises OF all kinds
have been tested by the Trinity House
I'm order to find noise which Will Dc
infallibly heard for certain distance
in vain. They may all be heard for
dozen miles and be inaudible at half
mile. Many of the disasters about our
coasts are doubtless due to that mys.
terious "soundless zone" In which the
human ear cannot catch the warning
But no one has yet discovered the rea'

Caspian Sea 10 a Mystery.

The Caspian seu is one Of the great
mysteries of the world. Three great
rivers that pour into 1t from the north
are sufficient to raise Its surface five
and half feet year. The Volga Is
one Of the great streams Of the earth.
But this vast tideless sea does not
rise. Evaporation Is charged with
keeping the water at its present level,
but Its banks furnish undeniable proof
that at a prehistoric period 1t entirely
covered vast depression known to
physicians as the Sarmatian ocean. AL.
though its surface Is now about ninety
feet below that Of the Mediterranean,
there was time at which Its height
equaled the Black sea.
At that time the mighty Oxus-larger
than the Ohio river-which now flows
into the Aral sea, emptied into the
Caspian. The old bed Of that stream
Is visible to this day.
The Aral is more than 200 feet high
er than the Caspian, and one can I'M
agine what a torrent would roar down
that incline were the Oxus to return to
its ancient bed. The Aral sea would
be drained.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The liquids voided by animals contain
