KATE SAINT MAuR.

Like asparagus. strawberry bed,
should be established as soon as III,
family has settled in a country home
because 1t takes year to get full
crop. There are great many varie
ties to choose from. Among the stand
ards are the Marshall for first early
the Glen Mary for midseason and the
Candy for late gathering.
New beds may be started in the fall
or spring. whichever is the more con
venient. If the plants are set out In
the early fall they will bear the fol
lowing season, but if planting is de
layed until spring it will be a year be
fore the vines fruit. August planting
is therefore recommended to the be
ginner except where there are estab.
Hshed beds to take other plants from.
Strawberries are propagated from
runners. These. taking root, develop
individual crowns. Nurserymen have
Of late years taken to sinking small
pots filled with rich earth in the beds;
then. by lifting the ends of the run
ners on to the pots, the roots of the
young plants develop within the pot
and can later be removed without re-
tarding the development. which. of
course, greatly facilitates the growth
Of the crown after it is set out in its
permanent position.
Planting.
Mark off rows four feet apart and
set the plants two feet apart in the
row. When the plants are received
unpack and water copiously and leave
in a shady place for twenty four hours
before setting out. If they are strong
and healthy specimens growth will
start almost Immediately, so go care
fully through the rows in about two
weeks time, when the plants will
have commenced to throw out run
ners. Four for each plant is enough.
and those are trained to root as nearly
as possible before and behind and on
each side OF the parent plant which
makes a solid row about twenty-sev-
en- inches wide at the end of the
growing season. The best way to in
sure runners roofing is to press them
close to the soil, holding them in place
either with small stone or a handful
Of earth.
After growth stops in the fall the
space between the rows should receive
a dressing of commercial fertilizer and
be well spaded over. About Dec. a
mulch Of straw or leaves should be
spread over the plants to protect them
from frost. Early the following spring
the same work is repeated, and about
May 1 the mulch is removed from i'm
mediately around the plants, but left
on the ground to keep the berries from
coming in contact with the earth and
also to keep the soil moist about the
roots.

GOOD AND BAD ROADS
Poor Roads Cost the Driver at Least

:. q. MORTON.

Z. o. MORTON.
In carrying produce to market few
people realize that it costs more to
have bushel Of wheat driven over a
fairly good road than for a railroad to
haul ton of wheat the same distance;
that our poor roads cost us at least SIS
per annum for every horse we drive;
that good earth roads would save half
the cost Of hauling and state roads
more than three-quarters Of it.
Some figures will show the tractive
force tthe live horse power required
to pull one ton on level roads of diff
ferent descriptions, and it may be men,
toned that a horse produces his best
efforts when drawing load two and
one-half miles per hour with tractive
force Of $50 pounds.

The building and maintaining of
state highways is duty Of the state,
and we can only see that money is well
expended and work properly done by
putting in honest, efficient men. fol
our country roads are most important
to us, and we who live in the country
are responsible for them, as we have
a voice in local affairs, and thus
should see that they are graded. cared
for and properly drained.
Drainage Overlooked.
Drainage, where the frost goes deep
into the ground. is quite frequent
ly overlooked. Tile drains should be
laid three or more feet below the road
surface on each side of roadbed at
the foot Of the grade and parallel to
to it. If properly laid with 2.5 to inch
tile and joints closed tightly the roads
will not heave and become impossible.
Moreover, they will dry out rapidly
after rain if the open drains on the
sides are kept clear.
Drowning the road doesn't mean put
ting on scrapers and throwing all the
trash from the cutters into the mid
die, making rough, water holding
crown, but, on the contrary, making the
graded portion of the road wide enough
to carry the travel and not rounded up
80 as to be dangerous. yet well above
the overflow of storm water, with suf
fcient grade to shed water quickly.
Usually one or one and .one-half inches
to the foot is grade enough. That is.
a roadbed twenty-four feet wide should
be about eighteen inches higher at
the center than at the side. Finally.
repair promptly. for it is less expen-
sive to have road caretakers every ten
miles or so than to haul over badly
neglected roadbed or to rebuild every
few years.

Doc White, the famous pitcher of

Veni Vidi Venice in the Coast
League, has a,small son who is en-
amored of the "eats" in California.
Most of the time he has an orange in
each hand and violates the training
rules forbidding eating between
meals. A rule was passed curtafling
his eating, and one evening he was
sitting on the porch with a couple of
oranges, few tangerines, some ripe
olives, half a dozen peaches and a
few other trifies when his father ar
rived from the ball grounds.
Here" remarked Doc, tits only
half an hour until dinner time. You
don't want to be eating all that stuff"
'I'm not eating" remarked the
son calmly as he sucked an orange.
You're not? What do you call
that?"
