of the veneer mill force, which is very
artistic and shows large amount OF
work. The Board is made OF over 300

The strong aversion Of the late Colonel
Battell of Middlebury to the automo-
bile is well known to all who were con-
versant with the colonel's life and by
strange coincidence his first ride in a
motor vehicle was also destined to be
his last, as in a taxicab he was taken to
the Georgetown university hospital in
Washington, ID. c., when overtaken by
his fatal illness.
A Middlebury rag peddler recently
purchased bag of carpet rags in New
Haven, which, when dumped onto the
load, also proved to be the home of
swarm of bees, and the peddler's ride
was probably the most exciting and the
warmest he ever took, for the bees
warmed up and gave him good fight.
The amount of business done at the
Burlington postofiice for the last year,

All watering troughs in Winooski have
been closed for several weeks, to pre-

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
Better Go Without Coffee or Tea Than
To Go Without Strawberries"

"Being the first fruit to ripen, the
strawberry comes to the table when the
appetite is capricious, as welcome visit
| or. So beautiful in form, color and fra
GRANGE, it is among fruits what the rose
| is to flowers. In flavor so delicious, in
healthfulness so beneficial that invalids
gain strength, while its season lasts,
strawberries fully ripe and freshly picked
from the vines may be eaten at every
meal, in saucers heaped high like pyra-
mids. and nourish the most delicate stom-
achs." Thus did Jacob Bicycle eulogize
the strawberry in his little berry book,
published years ago, and no one has
ever attempted to decry his statement
as being overdone.
The cultivation OF the strawberry is
very simple, and there S no plant so
ready to adapt itself to all conditions
and to all sorts of soil, whether loan,
clay, or sand. Good drainage is essen
tial, but this need not involve much adj
ditional labor. The ground for the straw
berry bed should be trenched deeply, il
the garden is small, with the spade.
This is done by breaking up the soil
two spades deep. The first spadeful is
thrown to the right, leaving the sub
soil exposed the whole width of the bed.
The subsoil is not thrown out but sim
ply lifted and allowed to drop so that
it is thoroughly broken and pulverized.
When returning the top soil, mix with ii
plenty of wel-rotted manure; don't be
afraid of getting the soil too rich, the
danger usually lies the other way. In
addition to the manure, spread top
dressing of some good brand of garden
fertilizer over the bed at the rate of two
pounds for every l0x4Is feet of bed sur
face Rake this fertilizer in thorough
ly, then mark out the rows Is inches
by three feet. This distance is for plants
grown in hills, which is the most eco.
nomcal for small areas.

AMONG THE FLOWERS

To induce nasturtiums to bloom in
rich soil, strip off the most or the
leaves and all seed pods and let the
sun to the stalks. Nasturtiums bloom
best in poor soil.
Bud roses now. Choose healthy,
vigorous stock. 4 very pleasing e.
feet Is had by inserting buds of diff
ferent varieties, generally teas), on
the same stock. This makes line
showing.
Acacia lopantha should not be al
lowed to become root-bound; II the
top or the long branches are not short
ened to encourage bushing, the lower
leaves turn yellow and fall off, leav-
ing the plant unsightly.
If one has pit ready, many plants
with belated blossoms, which must
otherwise die, can be taken care OF
and the bloom enjoyed until the holl-
days or after. A pit Is easily made
and not expensive.
Mound beds dry out rapidly In mid
sumner, and plants growing in them
need plenty of water and good coat
OF mulch Beds a little lower than
tho surface of the surrounding soil
are best for all moistureloving plants.
Mulch dahlias, cannas, calladiums
and like plants with coarse manure,
and deuge with water. IL water can
not be had, withhold the manure. as
manure alone is drying
To insure the perfect health OF the
fruit trees this is the season to spray.
In wet seasons the spores OF different
diseases terminate more rapidly than
ordinary In the leaves of the trees,
which are in best condition for the
termination OF the spores. Bordeaux
mixture will destroy the sucking in
sects.
This is rose budding season. Try
your hand ut 1t.

MAKING MOST OF THE IRIS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Iris OF all plants Is most indifferent
to it's surroundings, SOIL and environ
ment. With satisfactory attention it
gives wonderful results.
For German Iris, plant the roots
deeply; but the bulb should be COW
cred very lightly unless planting late
in the fall or very early in the spring,
when they should be planted about two
inches below the soil level At other
times just barely cover them.
When hoeing in the summer it is
we'll not to draw much soil to them, as
it is liable to rot them at certain times
when they are more subject to this
decay than others, when covered deep
ly with soil; and doubly so after they
become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free Of weeds and hoed
very lightly or raked just so the crust
Is broken or kept loose.
About November /, before freezing
begins, give them good hoeing and a
light dressing of manure after the hoe
ing. Plant or divide at any time.
A few very good sorts are tioren-
tina, early white; innocenza. late
white; celeste, rich sky blue; pallida
delmatica, rich lavender; fairy, pearly
white; flavescens. rich canary; hon-
orablis, rich falls, yellow chocolate
brown gypsy queen, smoky bronze.
falls deep chocolate; sappho, deep vel
vety purple: all very free.

FISH OIL MIXTURE
A GOOD REPELLENT
May Be Applied to Animals BY
Cheap Brush or Sprayed on
With Small Machine.
(By C. C. IIPPl

Fish oil may usually be bought by
the barrel at about As cents per gallon
or in ten-gallon lots at 60 cents per
gallon. 1t is a good repellent for flies
and similar insects and may be used
in the following mixtures:
1. Fish oil, parts; kerosene, ]. part.
q Fish oil, 100 parts; oil Of tar 50
parts; crude carbolic acid, part.
3. Fish oil, tx pints; kerosene, IL
pints; resin, ~ pounds; laundry soap,
2 cakes. Mix thoroughly and add
enough water to make three gallons.
A. Fish oil, linseed oil or kerosene,
1 pint; coal tar dip, pint; laundry
soap, one-fourth bar; hot water, IL
pints. Mix thoroughly so as to form
an emulsion.
Any of these mixtures may be ap
piled thinly to the animals with such
brush as can be purchased for ten
or fifteen cents, or they may be
sprayed on with small hand-sprayer
such as can be purchased for 40 or SO
cents.

VARIOUS WAYS TO
KILL QUACK GRASS
One Good Plan Is to PIoW Late
in Fall, Thus Exposing Plant
Roots to Frost.

There are many ways to destroy
hoxious weeds and 1t seems as though
every farmer has a method of his own
yet every farm seems to have enough
weed pests to last him until all the
various methods are tried out.
To kill quack grass is some job, yet
1t can be done, and the very best
method we have yet tried is TIE follow
ing: Late fall blowing to expose the
roots to frost; cultivation the follow
ing summer, twice a week when the
ground was dry up to September; the
following spring any extra plants
which showed up were removed and
the field put into corn; the following
spring the field was put into barley
and wheat, says writer in an ex-
change. The method was thorough, as
the weeds seemed to be completely
eradicated.

SUNFLOWER DRINKS
MUCH WATER DAILY
Speculation as to Amount of
Moisture Consumed by Roots
of Trees in Forests.

Some sections of the East have had
more rain than was needed recently.
In fact, the torrential precipitation has
brought plague of insect pests into
the gardens. PIT there is another mat
ter to be taken into consideration, and
that is the enormous amount of water
absorbed by plants. On warm day it
has been demonstrated that more thf /
a quart of water enters the roots of
the unassuming sunfower of medium
size. This opens for speculation the
number of thousands of gallons of wa
ter that the roots of the forest absorb
The root performs threefold func-
ton, First it anchors the plant, then
it supplies the conduit for the water
that is needed for the stem, and it at
tracts the liquid nourishment.

SOME TIMELY HINTS

Take down the curtains and roll Up
the shades. Give the plants all the
light possible and plenty Of fresh air.
Ferns should have a soil Of pure
leaf,mold with a little sand added,
abundance of light and air but no
sunshine. Keep moist in a cool room
away from dust and furnace heat.
All roses that can be transplanted
with safety in the fall should be at
tended to. A rose so planted gets
all the good Of the early spring wealth
er and is better prepared to wit
stand the heat and dryness of sum-
mer.
Shelter the house plants on Ihe
veranda a week or so before bringing
inside, to accustom them to the change
by degrees, taking them in on cool
nights, and setting them out during
the day.
The ported bulb should be frequent
" turned, that all sides may be ex-
posed to the sun. If this is nc. done,
the spike may develop on one side
only, the other side not opening its
flowers.
The SCOT recommended as fertili.
ger for garden plants is that from
wood ashes. Coal ashes have no value
Window boxes and plants IN pots
must have an abundance Of water. Wa.
ter at night thoroughly always. AS
soon as the soil dries water again
whether 1t Is morning or noon.
Cut away all but the strongest canes
half dozen are enough to leave on
the climbing roses. Prune the Iune
bushes.
Gloxinias, fuchsias, and tubefous
rooted begonias are summer boomers
and should be doing their best now
Let them rest during the winter.
Transplant peones, bleeding hearts
iris and many hardy herbaceous plants
this fall.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1915-09-30

The Japan Iris requires much differ
ent treatment. while very easily han
died when their requirements are un-
derstood, yet they are somewhat tickle.
The best results are obtained when
the soil is very rich, we'll watered
and kept hoed st all times.
Never allow weeds TO attain any
start in their beds as they cannot re-
sist the encroachments Of rapid,
stronggrowing weeds.
Plant them deeply so that the
crowns are fully three inches below
the soil level. Plant late in October,
or very early in the spring.
Water we'll after doing it. They
may be planted at almost any time
if the soil is allowed to adhere to the
roots and kept we'll watered for at
least two weeks. In fact they should
never be allowed to become dry.
Give them deep hoeing and good
mulching of manure during August or
September, and hoe it into the soil
thoroughly.
Iris Tectorum, Sibirica and similar
types require much the same attention
and treatment as Japan Iris, but they
will stand any amount of dryness.
Iris Germanica, Susiana, Pumila and
similar types require the same treat
ment.

Consisting Corn
Removed Allow the Put Wheat
s Seed
CBy w. MILTON KELLY

By w. MILTON KELLY)
The organic matter in sandy soils Is
held in more accessible form for plant
food than any other soil. 1t does not
crust over and become hard, is warm
and easy to work, will not get sticky
and adhere to the farm machinery
when being worked, more of the land
can be worked with the same amount
Of labor and it will bring the earliest
market crops of any kind of soil and
the work may be done at times when
it would be difficult to work other land
on account of being wet and muddy.
When the land was first cultivated
it yielded large and profitable crops
and the common idea was that the
coil was strong and inexhaustible, but
we have found out to our sorrow that
loose system of cropping without
restoring the removed fertility has led
to soil ruin.
The question that confronts us is
how to restore these lands to their
former state of productiveness with
out paying out more than the lands
will be worth when we have accom-
plished our purpose.
In the first place the sand itself con-
tains but little real plant food, but
in the so-called sandy soils we find
large proportion of earth and the
sand fulfills the Office of sponge to
hold the water and plant food in
form accessible for the use of the
young rootlets Of the plant to feed
upon, thus all Of the plant food Is
made available so rapidly that the
soil soon becomes exhausted from too
heavy cropping.
The great question is how to supply
and keep up the organic matter in the
soil sufficient to produce crops. Plants
OF heavy growth might be sown and
plowed under for this purpose but
the leguminous plants to which clover
and cowpeas belong have so far given
better results, for the reason that
they draw largely from the air and
deposit in the soil valuable fertilizing
elements.
The best rotation to adopt after
The land is again brought into use
will be a three years rotation, con-
sisting of corn which is to be cut
and removed early enough in fall to
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1915-09-30

to apply 1t as a top dressing on the
clover seeding; for the reason that
the plants will take up the fertilizing
elements and hold them in the soil
until such time as they are needed
for the crops that follow in the rota
ton, instead Of allowing them to leach
and wash away from the land. This
will also improve the texture and wa
ter-holding capacity Of the soil.
All of the grain raised should be
fed out to live stock on the farm and
the manure returned to the soil, for
clover alone viii not keep the soil up
forever unless it is supplemented by
the use of other plant foods.
When we apply manure to the
clover we are getting the lever under
the very center of gravity of the farm
If we lift the clover crop the whole
farm comes up with it ana produces
larger and more profitable crops.
