PROFIT IN STRAWBERRIES.
Selecting the yariety-When to Plant
and What to Avoid.

The profit of strawberry raising to a
great extent depends on the kind grown,
writes John f. Taylor in the American
lCultivator. The Brandywine is good
berry for late variety to plant. 1t is
la firm, good keeper and an all round
berry 1t is good size, deep crimson
throughout and good in quality. The
Corsican is also very good berry to
raise. 1t is the largest strawberry that
grows. They resist drought, weeds and
even neglect of cultivation better than
any other variety.
| Strawberries do better if planted in
| April or the ist of May. Then they can
wait until the last of August or the lst
OF September as they have a chance to
get start and throw out runners or
young strawberry plants. Those will
make good bed for raising Strawberries
the next summer while if planted in the
fall they have but little chance to grow
before cold weather comes. There is
more danger of them winter killing than
lii they were planted in the spring.
When planted either way they should be
covered with leaves or straw before win
ter sets in to keep them from winter
killing In the spring leave some of the
straw around the plant for this will help
keep the berries clean as well as to keep
the plants more moist. In growing
strawberries the great misfortune is the
late spring frost, that is liable to kill
them. If planted on too low ground
such frost win destroy the crop. Select
an elevated site; side hill that slants
to the south or east is best. If it is nat
urally moist it also protects them from
the north and west winds and cold. This
also makes a better winter protection.
The soil should not be sandy but of
clay loan for the plants will bear longer
and larger, better fruit here than on
sandy soil and clay loan also holds the
moisture better. Old ground where a
crop of corn or potatoes has been raised
the first year is best TO set out bed of
strawberries. Plow and work the ground
well so to leave the soil fine and free
from Jumps A fertilizer of well-rotted
stable manure, year or two old, makes
the best fertilizer to use. This must be
worked well into the land. If stable
manure cannot be had, phosphate can be
used. The Strawberries are set in rows
three feet apart and the plants y feet
apart, allowing them to form in row
by setting the runners in a row beside
the parent plants. Those that start ont
later, clip off. In this way they form a
row and the young plants get start.
1t is more expensive to begin a bed in
this way, but the cultivation of the bed
is less expensive, and besides the fruit is
larger. fewer small berries are made and
the yield is greater

CURRENT COMMENT
His Work Unfinished.

For two reasons our guess is that Col.
onel Goethsls. will not be police commits
sioner of New York City in the near fu-
ture.
First, because he has said in an inter
view that he desires to remain where he
is and finish his work there, and will
do so unless forced out.
Second, because word has come from
the White House that the president has
never had any intention other than to
appoint the colonel as governor of the
Panama canal zone under the canal act
of 1912.
If he stays on the isthmus until some
time in 1915, probably Congress mean
while win have made him a major gem
eral, and he can then seek retirement
with large pay at an age not too adj
vanced to prevent his securing remunera-
tive private employment.
Opening the big ditch formally for
traffic without Goethals on the job would
be much like a performance of 'Hamlet"
with the principal character of the play
missing Boston Globe.

AN ELECTRIC HIGH SCHOOL.
Novel Experiment Is Being Tried Out
at Rupert, Idaho.

Electricity from government power
house furnishes heat for the new high
school at Rupert, Idaho, in the center
of the Minidoka irrigation project, &C.
cording TO statement just issued by
the United States bureau of education
This is said to be the first case on rec.
ord where large building has been heat
ed entirely by electricity The use OF
electric current for heating and for a
variety of other purposes in the new
building has caused it to be known as
"the electric high school"
The system of electric heating in
stalled in the Rupert high school is re-
markable for its simplicity. The usual
arrangement of hot air pipes, tlues. ETC.,
has been adhered to, but instead of fur
naces or steam coils battery OF cleo
trio heat units, similar to those used in
electric baking ovens, provides the heat.
Twenty ls-K. w. units are installed in
pairs, each pair with a separate control
of the current from a switchboard in
the principals office. Thus the principal
can regulate absolutely the amount OF
current used. An emergency switch III
the principals Office may also be used
to cut out all current from the entire
building light, power, etc.
Electricity is put to work everywhere
in the Rupert building. A l0-horse pow
err motor, besides driving the ventilating
fan, supplies all the power needed for
the lathes and saws in the manual train
ing department. An electric water heat
err supplies the hot water for the do
nestle science department, for the show
er baths, for the various lavatories, and
for the science rooms. In the domestic
science room each girl of a class of 20
has her individual electric disk stove and
all necessary cooking utensils. This room
will also have an electric range and
other electric equipment for serving cafe
terra lunches on a large scale.
In the science laboratories electric hot
plates are provided for evaporation pur-
poses, and each pupil will have an cleo
trio appliance to take the place of Bun
sen burners.
The electric lighting system includes
an auditorium set with stage lights and
switch control equal to those of the best
theatres. The lighting and other equip
ment have been planned with the idea
of making the high school building
model community center"
The entire electric equipment was
planned by local electricians with the
assistance of L. S. government engineers
on the Miuidoka project. The govern
ment supplies surplus current from its
own power house IA miles above Rupert,
at cost low enough TO compete with
coal. 1t is estimated that the cost of
heating the new high school by electric
ity will be SLIGO per year. Coal might
have been used at a cost of about 81 900,
but the use of electricity saves the
wages of fireman at s75 per month,
and the cost of installing the electric
system was $4,000 less than for any 9th

1t is real misfortune that the great
er part of the exposition building at
Manila was destroyed by fire just prior
to the scheduled opening of the exposi-
ton, inasmuch as the loss will deprive
many people of the chance to learn some
thing about the real progress of the
Philippine islands under the tutelage of
the United States. There is far more
sense in an exhibition Of this sort than
in the numerous city built fairs designed
for local booming largely; and, moreover,
the financial resources of the Manila ex-

for their gift and good wishes. After a
social half-hour, all went home feeling
well pleased with the work done in the
past year and confident that that Of the
coming year will be still better.

THE cLAsHING OF TWO WILLS.

4 lie IJ1AS1lNU Or INO WILLS
Mayor Mitchell of New York is to be
commended in seeking an honest, ca
.pable man for the position of police
commissioner in his metropolis, and it
is not to be wondered at that during
his search he should select the man who
at the present time is deeply engrossed
in governmental work in the Panama
canal zone and whose services can scarce
ly be dispensed with for year, at least,
perhaps for longer time. However,
Mayor Mitchell will learn that he is
against very stubborn man when he
opposes President Wilson in bidding for
the services of Colonel Cocktails, and a
man who will not be likely to give in
to the mayor of a single city when the
interests of a whole nation are con-
eerned. Therefore, the mayor of New
York would do well to find loophole,
by means of which he may crawl out of
his predicament. If continued, the pres
emit snatching for the services of Colonel
Goethals might end in severance Of those
pleasant relations which are said to ex-
list between the head of the metropolis
and the head of the nation. There can
be only one result if it is continued.

When the New York Globe gets
through collecting cast-of clothing fol
"rummage days" distribution among the
poor of its city, it is to be hoped that
the contemporary will subject the ar
tcles to thorough disinfecting and fumi-
cation lest the poor people of its city
have disease foisted upon them under
the guise of charity. One OF the most
prolific spreaders of disease is clothing
which has been more or less intimately
associated with people who have been i'll
with infectious and loathsome diseases.
Under best conditions and among most
careful communities, the system of con-
Quoting ''rummage" distributions is none
too safe.

MY SHIP.

If all the ships have at sea
Should come a-sailing home to me,
All, we'll; the harbor could not hold
So many sails as there would be,
If all came in from sea.
If half my ships came home from sea
And brought their precious freight to me
All, we'll; l would have wealth as great
AS any king that sits in state
So rich the treasure that would be
of half my ships, now out at sea.
If just one ship have at sea
Should come sailing home to me,
All, well the storm-clouds then might
frown;
For if the others all went down,
Still rich, and proud, and glad I'd be,
But bring my love-ship home to me.
If that one ship went down at sea,
And all the others came to me,
Weighted down with gems of wealth M
told,
With glory, honors, riches, gold,
The poorest soul on earth I'd be,
If that one ship came not to me.
o skies be calm o winds, blow free
Blow ali my ships safe home to me,
But if thou sendest some a-wreck,
To never more come sailing back,
Send any-all, that skim the sea,
But bring my love-ship home to me.
