OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
81 was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that I could
not do without it, but after years Of
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, I attributed it to the drink
ing Of coffee, and after some thought,
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.

according to directions on the pkg. and

MULCH THE STRAWBERRY BED
Winter Protection Is Important Point
Often Overlooked and Neglected
Straw Is Good.
NV M. N. EDGERTON,)

(By M. N. EDGERTON.)
A point in strawberry culture more
often overlooked and neglected thaA
any other is that of winter protection.
Briefly stated, the reason for mulch
ing is this: Strawberry plants are in
jured by the alternate freezing and
thawing incident to the winter and
spring months.
Freezing expands the moisture Of
the soil. This slightly raises the sur
face of the ground, which, in turn,
exerts a lifting force upon the plant.
The root system being held in a
frozen soil, some Of the finer roots
and rootlets are broken. Upon the
thawing of the soil, its surface settles
to it's original position, but not so the
plant.
A continued repetition of this proc
ess often leaves the crown Of the

plant protruding an inch or more
above the surface, the broken ends OF
it's roots exposed to view. Plants are
often thus killed outright or left prac-
tically worthless.
Now, it is commonly supposed that
the injury mentioned above is the
only one to which strawberry plants
are subject, when left unprotected If
this we're true, then it would not be
necessary to apply the mulch until
spring, during which time the greater
share of alternate thawing and freez-
ing takes place, ana not at all on
these soils which do not honeycomb
under the influence OF frost
Nevertheless, the more familiar we
become with the strawberry plant and
It's habits and conditions that exist
where the plant grows wild, the more
firmly are we convinced that this is
an erroneous view.
There is a general lack in the es-
sential information necessary to form
a correct idea in regard to the matter.
BY nature and habit, the strawberry
plant is an evergreen. Unlike the
bush fruits, it does not ripen it's vege-
tative growth and cast it's leaves with
| the coming of autumn, but will, II
given protection, remain green, in a
dormant state, waiting for the coming
of spring, when it may again take up
| the process of life.
Leaves that come out bright and
green will begin work in the spring
where they left Off in the fall
On the other hand, if the leaves
and crown of the plant are left ex-
posed to winter sunshine, the mois-
ture in the leaves will evaporate, and
as, connection between root and leaf
is cut off because of the frozen soil,
the leaves shrivel and die.
Plants with leaves practically dead,
will often put forth new leaves in the
spring, but such plants never show the
vigor of those given protection,
AS to the material for mulching,
anything that will shade the plant and
ground from the sun will answer the
purpose. Generally speaking, the
coarser and freer from weeds ano
grass seeds, the better.
The most satisfactory job of mulch
| ing we ever did was with marsh nay
applied before the ground had frozen.
| Any kind of straw is good for the pur'
pose. but trouble is likely to come
with it, because of the seeds OF
| grasses and weeds.
Corn stalks will answer the pur
| pose, and admirably so, if shredded
Pulp from cane mills may be used;
| also the leaves from forest trees
AS a means of retarding the season
OF fruiting, the mulch should be ap
piled while the ground is frozen OF
covered with snow. With such pur
pose in view, it is often advantageous
to apply light covering early IN. the
season and second, heavy appilca
ton after the ground has become
frozen or covered deeply with snow.
Il Under favorable conditions, the
fruiting period may be delayed from
q week to ten days.
