The Roads of Norway.

A curious feature to travellers on the highroads of Norway Is the great nun Der of gates-upwurd of 10000 In the whole country-which have to be open
 ed. These gates, which either mark the boundaries of the farms or sepa- rate the home fields from the waste lands, constitute a considerable incon- venience and delay to the traveller, who has to stop his vehicle and get down to open them.

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
OF Course Young Mother Could Only
Reason That the Fault Must Be
With the Scales.

The story is told Of a young mother
who. after her first baby had been
born, hurried to a hardware store to
purchase a pair Of scales, that she
might be able to keep tabs on the re-
markable growth Of her first born.
When she got them home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried the scales back,
stating that they were not satisfac-
tory. Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was, she replied:
81 think the scales are not right. MY
baby did not weigh as much as l think
she ought to-"
did it ever occur to you," asked the
bard-hearted seller of hardware, that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?"
She saw the point and kept the
scales.-Brockton Enterprise.

Cotton In California.

Since cotton was first planted in
Imperial valley, California, as an ex-
pertinent, about eight years ago, the
acreage has increased yearly until 1t
is now $4,000, yielding $4,000 bales.
The United States department of agri-
culture says the valleys production
per acre is more than twice that OF
any other part Of the country. In the
valley there are nineteen cotton gins,
three cottonseed oil mills, and three
congresses. Over half the acreage Is
in the vicinity Of Calexico, there be-
ing there eight gins, two oil mills,
and one compress, all busy day and
night during the winter making by
products like %cottonseed oil. cotton
seed feed and hulls.

cultivated before picking begins. Even
when there Is a mulch 1t is a good plan
to remove this material and cultivate;
1t al be replaced.
Rotate With Lseumes.
A systematic rotation of crops is
Just as important in growing straw
berries al It Is in growing other crops,
but very few growers practice 1t to any
great extent. Soil on which straw
berries are raised year after year does
not produce as large crops OF fruit as
1t would were a good system of rota-
ton followed. In any system Of rota-
ton some leguminous crops should be
grown and turned under n year In
every three or four years, and a cult
waited crop grown on the soil the sea-
son before the strawberry plants are
set.
For the South the following system
can be employed to good advantage:
Strawberries for n or two years, fol-
lowed by cowpeas after the strawber-
ries are harvested. Turn under the
cowpeas in the fall or winter or har-
vest them for hay. The next spring
plant the land to some vegetable crop.
such as early cabbage, and follow with
a fall crop Of vegetables or cowpeas
for turning under. Plant the land to
corn the following spring and plant
cowpeas between the rows. After the
corn is harvested, turn under the
stalks and the pea vines.
When strawberries are planted IN
the fall, they can be set out after the
cowpeas and cornstalks are turned
under. A second system that can be
followed IL strawberries n or two
years, followed by a fall crop Of vege
tables after the berries are harvested
The next spring plant to vegetables
and follow with cowpeas, and then
either plant strawberries again OF
grow corn and cowpeas followed with
Strawberries. In sections where vege
tables are not grown commercially
oats can follow the cowpeas that are
turned under the season the straw
berry field is plowed, and either cow
peas or peanuts can follow the oats
The following year plant the land Il
corn, with cowpeas between the rows
then return to strawberries. BY fol
lowing a good rotation system, sucf
as has been suggested, the yield o.
strawberries will be greatly increased
and the cost of cultivation lowered.
Harvesting of the strawberry croI
and the kind of packages used in mar
keting are also dealt with In Farmers
Bulletin No. 864, which may be hat
