CULTIVATE THE STRAWBERRY

seryman Who Makes Speciality of
Them-keep Weeds Out.

Some good points in the commercial
growing of strawberries that should be
emphasized are:
Buy your plants from some nursery
man who makes a specially of han
ding them. By doing this you are not
so likely to get mixed plants or old
brown-rooted ones. Pick the small
crowned plants and prune the roots
back to about three or four inches.
Commence cultivation as soon as the
plants are set and keep it up till
autumn. The soil must be loosened and
no weeds allowed to grow. If the
plants have done well during their
first summer there should be less
than six inches between the runners
Of adjacent plants.
They will bear the first year, but it
Is better to pinch off all the blossoms
and wait fer the second year crop.
Mulch with straw for the winter, put
ting it over them to a depth of about
three inches. This straw is raked back
from the plants in spring, but left be-
tween the rows to hold moisture dur
ing dry weather.

Sheep are useful in preventing
weeds from seeding. In a pasture
where sheep are running it is usually
much more free of weeds than in
pastures where cattle am horses are
running. Another method of prevent
ing the spread Of weeds sometimes
used, is burning them, culling. spoil

crop. This Is often useful in killing
weed seeds both in connection with
the weeds cut green and allowed to

Famous Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, it did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is Of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance of
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
a field near that capital Ais yards
against the wind. The secretary Of
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions of surprise from the Eng
fish gentlemen present, said the Sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance of modern days,
but pillar standing on plain near
Constantinople recorded shots rang
ing up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Aims
lie, British ambassador to the Sub
lime Porte, recorded that nj 1898 he
was present when the Sultan shot an
arrow 972 Washington Star.

MASON AND DlXON'S LINE"
Popular Misapprehensicn as to Mean
ing of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
inally laid off, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, it ran for one-third of
it's whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both Of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason and
DiXon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in it's day
as was the figure Of speech to which
in after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled

vineyards, particularly around our
part of the country, are Concords,
writes ]. P. Hess of Iowa in Orange
Judd Farmer. This is the great COM
mercial grape. The sturdiness and
hardness of its vines, which resist
both drought and freezing, and its un-
failing production, make it of great
value. The fact that it's picking sea-
son extends over three weeks is also
an important item.
The grapes in our country are very
free from disease and insect pests.
Leaf hopper is pest only where lack
of cultivation allows the weeds to
grow under and about the vines.
Borers can be kept out by careful
pruning and cutting away all canes
where they appear and burning them.
Black rot appears only where rows
are too close together or on level
ground and in a wet season. These
are the only diseases or pests which
amount to anything with US. We do
not spray. In some places, however,
the requirements might be different.

Of the teeth of this tool it can be

waist high. Indeed, some excellent
crops of corn have been grown by the
use of the weeder only.
The drag harrow and weeder may
also be used to advantage with pota-
toes, cotton and other cultivated
crops. After the crops have become
so large that these implements can
no longer be used, the tillage is per-
formed with cultivators. Intercultgral
tillage is especially effective in con-
trolling weeds if the crop has been
planted in checkrows so as to permit

they are rightly termed cleaning
crops" Besides the usual cultivated
crops, small-grain crops can also some
times be cultivated to advantage in
the spring with a spike-tooth harrow
or weeder.
After the small-grain crop is har-
vested it is often good practice in the
northern states to harrow or disk the
stubble to encourage the termination
of the weed seeds that are at or near
the soil surface. The seedlings are
killed by the fall blowing or by cold
weather. Some weeds, such as rag

seeds soon after harvest, so that care
must be taken to turn the plants I'M
der before the seeds approach matur-
ity. Flowing without the preliminary
disking would turn under millions of
weed seeds to make trouble in future
years.
Moving to Prevent Seed Scattering.
Moving is another way of prevent
ing weeds from going to seed. AS a
rule. it is best to NOW when weeds
have reached the full-bloom stage.
When there are patches in grain fields
thick with weeds, it will pay to cut
them, grain and all, before the weeds
start to go to seed.
1t pays to cut hay crop early, In
order to prevent weeds from going
to seed as we'll as to secure better
quality of hay. After a grain crop is
removed, crop of weeds, such as
ragweed or foxtail usually follows,
which, if not disturbed, not only re-
seeds the land for further crops Of
weeds, but may do much damage to
a young seeding of clover or grass,
Moving these weeds will prevent
most of them from going to seed, and,
further, the clippings will be of value
as mulch for the young grass.
More or less hand work is neces.
sary in preventing the growth and
spread of weeds on the farm. They
often occur in scattered places about
the fields and can be removed by hand
with little work, whereas if they are
allowed to mature they will thorough.

the future. Such weeds may be pre-
vented from seeding, either by hand

mattock, hoe or spud so far below

One of the best tools for disposing
of weeds with thick roots is the spud

sion of the weed problem on the farm,
dealing with prevention and eradica-
ton.
1t is possible for a farmer, espe-
Cially if he follows a good rotation
system, to make his farm almost
weed-free by observing three main
principles of weed control: % pre-
venting the weeds from going to seed
on the farm; (2) preventing the intro
duction of weed seeds on the farm;
and CO preventing perennial weeds
from making top growth. These
three principles are of far greater i'm

campaign against weeds is stopped
when success is in sight and the weeds
soon recover. Clearing the farm of
perennial weeds is no easy task, re-
curing intelligence and persever-
ance.
The thorough preparation of the
seed bed for every crop is an impor-
tant part in the control of weeds.
After blowing the disk, spring-toothed
or spike-toothed harrow to reduce the
soil to good seed bed condition is
used. Each of these borrowings de-
stroys hosts of young weed seed
lings. Thorough narrowing at this
period may be depended upon to kill
a large proportion of the weeds that
appear at this season.
Kill the Weeds Early.
After planting the cultivated crop
the same object, that of attacking the
weeds when young, should be kept
in mind. To this end drag harrow
or spiketoothed harrow is frequent
ly used, both before and after the
crop comes up More weeds will be
killed by one dragging at this time
