THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
FALL WORK ON THE STRAWBERRY
BED
Time Spent Now Pays Big Profits.
BY JAMES b. NORMAN,

Who Runs His Own Experiment Stations.
Part OF the strawberry patch ought to
be renewed every year. The fall is a
good time to do this. Strawberries set
out in spring rarely bare fruit that sea-
son.
The strawberry fruits best on new
land or after some other kind of crop.
For instance, a crop of vegetables, like
onions, can be raised and removed before
ii is time to set out strawberries. A
strawberry bed may be made success
fully from the month of August to early
October in many regions,
The soil should be well top-dressed
with farm manure, chicken manure or
commercial fertilizer and thoroughly
turned under. 1t is a bad practice to
simply rake the fertilizer into the soil.
For gardens mark off the rows eighteen
inches or two feet apart, setting the
plants about six inches from each other.
For field culture make rows from two
and one-half to three feet apart and set
plants twelve inches apart.
IT is a good plan to mark the plants
which bear the most fruit. For trans
planting take the runners from the best
pIhHhS oitl " dht UP as ntuNh SpiA az
possible with the young plants, and if
the soil is moist it may be gently
pressed around the roots, care being
taken that no soil covers the crown Of
the plant. If the weather is dry or if
plants have been purchased and received
without soil on the roots more care is
necessary. Some water should first be
poured into the holes, With care, under
the driest of conditions, every plant can
be made to live.
Fall planting of strawberries requires
fall cultivation. Keep down weeds. Neg
lect will surely mean loss and perhaps
ruin of the bed. Some strawy manure
put between the rows will be beneficial.
BY winter the plants need protection.
A mulch free from weed seeds should be
used. Clean straw, marsh hay, coarse
strawy manure, leaves or corn stalks
serve the purpose. 1t should be spread
an inch or two deep. Too heavy mulch
may smother the plants. In spring the
mulch should be raked of and placed
between the rows, only sufficient being
left to keep the berries clean.
The above plan can be run profitably
two seasons. The first seasons crop is
small, but the second one is usually
large. By renewing bed each year in
late summer or early fall, much more
fruit can be raised. With good care and

WOMAN ALLOWED $50.
In Her Suit Against U. S. Officer for Be-
ing Shot in the Leg.


Burlington, Nov. GA case rather out
of the ordinary and which stood next
for trial after the MeCale-Taft trial in
county court has just been continued ON
terms.
The case is that of Lena Cross VS..
J. NJ. Pratt. The plaintiff in the action
sues the defendant, who is a surgeon in
the United States army, ranking as u
lieutenant of the 10th cavalry, for $5,-
600. She claims Lieutenant Pratt shot
her with rifle in the leg at her house
in Colchester from which she fled while
the premises were being searched by
deputy sheriff, who had warrant for
person alleged to have stolen ring.
The reason advanced for continuance
by the defendants counsel was that
Lieutenant Pratt is detained by army
authority at Washington owing to
stress of circumstances occasioned by our
relations with Mexico. Although Lieu
tenant Pratt was here at the beginning
of the term ready for trial he was
obliged to go to Washington later on
and there is no way to get him here
now. On the other hand, Mrs. Cross
claims she has been put to large ex-
pense in getting ready for trial, that she
is poor woman, and has been unable
to work this last summer because OF
the wound received.
The court considered the claims OF
counsel carefully and decided to con-
tinue the case on the defendants imme
diately paying the plaintiff the sum of
$50.

Needless Deaths

BY the very force of it's discoveries the
new childrens bureau of the department
of labor has been compelled to make In
FAINT mortality the subject of it's first field
inquiry, and announcement is made of the
publication of a monograph entitled
Prenatal Care" by which the bureau
hopes to bring before the public certain
very essential facts which must be learned
if infant mortality is to be lessened.
In announcing series of bulletins on
the prevention of infantile ills and con-
sequent mortality the bureau drives
home the appalling fact that 10000
babies less than a year old died in this
country last year. and adds that half OF
these deaths were preventable or the
900, AZ per cent. did not live to complete
the first month Of life, and -tenths
of this percentage died as a result of con-
ditions existing before they were born or
of injury and accident at birth. To help

to the prevention of disease and death.
The best preventive of any undesirable
condition is education, and education
comes only when we eliminate false mod

fearlessly. Certainly tho prevention of

enumerates is worth working for and

DAILY COMMENT ON PEOPLE AND THINGS

Like everybody else, we began
looking for the obscenity' and pro-

And all we could find was that Pete
Bartzen called Pres. Mccormick
Oscar" and asked him if he had his
powder puff with him.
That really was rude of Pete. He
shouldn't swear so.
In it's headlines the Trib said that
Mccormick barely refrained from
pulling nose of Peter"
But, fortunately, Alexander did re-
frain. Anyhow, he didn't pull Peters
nose, slap, Peter on the wrist, or even
make faces at him.
Col. Moriarity voted with Mccor-
mick, as usual. 4
Moriarity did his own thinking at
a meeting not long ago and didn't
