IMPROVE THE COUNTRY TOWN
Purely as Business Proposition,
Beautifying Any Village Will

The cities, great and small, are dong
their whole duty in providing parks,
but the villages and small towns seem
to think that parks are luxuries be-
yond them. We hear political econo-
mists bewailing the fact that the cities
are growing faster than the country,
and they ask why 1t is. Parks, boule-
wards, Libraries, added to the other at.
fractions of the cities are sure to en-
tice the country youth from the hum
drum life in a frowsy hamlet And
who can blame them?
But IL Mr.. Carnegie, or Mr.. Rookie
teller, or other of our rich men, should
assist and encourage our country
towns to build parks, to plant trees
and beautify their towns, thus max
ing their homes pleasant, the glamour
of the city would not be so striking
the building and endowing of great IL
braries is most commedable. but there
are many things we need more. Those
fine palaces filled with books are hand

pended In Fairgrounds about the city

this line. Make the country towns
more beautiful, and the desire to leave
them for the great cities will not be so
great. In spring time the jewellers In

FIRST TEST OF BAROMETER
Before Putting Full Reliance on In
strument, Certain Precautions
Are Imperative.

Don't expect barometer to tell
you the truth about the weather until
you have tested it thoroughly Two
common causes for unreliability are
air and water mixed with the mer-
curry in the tube. These can be ex-
PEELED by boiling the mercury. In or
der to test barometer let it hang
for a time in the proper position, then
gently and with care incline it so that
the mercury may strike against the
glass tube. If there is no air within
you will hear sharp metallic click,
but if the sound is dull and muffied
1t indicates the presence of both air
and moisture. The presence of air
alone is shown by minute bubbles. II
at any time the mercury seems to
adhere to the tube even in the slight
est degree. and the convex surface as
sumes more flattened form, it is safe
to conclude that either air or moisture
is present. In any of these cases the
instrument should be put into expert
hands for rectification.
There are several kinds of barome-
tiers. The ordinary weather glass"
in common use is more or less unre-
liable and is easily made more so by
careless handling In fact. any bar
ometer must be treated with great
respect in order to retain its useful
ness.-Harper's Weekly.

enough so that the plant roots are
well spread and the crown Of the plant,
the point where the roots and the
stems join, Is just above the surface
of the soil Cover the roots deeply,
and tread the soil firmly around the
plants. Pick of the blossoms and dead
leaves and keep the blossoms OF the
plants during the first season SO as to
conserve the energy Of the plant and
get IL we'll established. BE careful not
to allow the roots Of the plants to be-
come dry before they are placed in
the ground.
Some of the plants are perfect and
can fertilize the seed, while other
plants in the same bed do not produce
pollen, hence require pollen from 9th
err plants to produce fruit For this
reason IL is a good plan to set one
row of perfect plants for every two
rows of the imperfect plants, although
this rule admits of q great deal OF
variation.
AS soon as the plants are set in the
ground, water them we'll to bring the
soil particles in close contact with the
roots, and then either cultivate the
ground between the rows or cover It
with straw to prevent weed growth.
The cultivation is much preferable
during the first season. However,
many successful growers find 1t ad-
visable to cover the ground with
straw until after the fruit is harvested
from a bearing bed, as 1t not only
prevents the growth Of weeds by
shading them, but 1t keeps the ripen-
ing fruit from being covered with mud
when 1t rains during the picking sea-
son.
The plants should be set about IS
inches apart In the row, and the run
ners, or vine-like tendrils, must be
kept back with hoe the first season.

April is the very best month to set

some climates will permit of this be-

beds are set out as late as June 15.

drainage is highly important for straw
