 Where the strawberry grower is a general farmer, the best system is some system of crop rotation. Pota- toes, corn and melons, in fact, any Of the hoed crops are excellent to pre- cede strawberry planting. Such crops, put the soil in excellent shape and have the great advantage of destroy ing weeds. Turning under coWpeas, clover. vetch and rye is an excellent practice. The legumes are preferable to other plants. They should be turned under i'll late fall preceding spring planting. Stable manure and nitrogenous commercial fertilizers are sometimes used to advantage, but as rule, the best results have been secured by crop rotation, turning un- der leguminous plants such as men, toned above, and using acid phos- phate or bone meal on the patch wherever commercial fertilizer is needed. The strawberry grower will find that 1t pays well to put more thought, work, and money into thor ough preparation of soil before plant ing new bed. Such practice will break up the habit of continually look ing for new soil.

Josephine bought the chair for Mel
lie and nice wrapper and put table
by the window and on 1t plant and
some books She. would have added
more to the room but her mother told
her that it would be too much to give
all at one time, but If she felt she
would care to spend enc afternoon a
week with Nellie it would make the
little cripple very happy and she could
find out what was just the thing to
do for her.
Josephine not only did this but she
interested her little friends so much
that they formed society and visited
all the sick children in that part of
the city where Nellie lived They held
fair at Christmas time and bought
and distributed the gifts among the
sick and poor children themselves, and
Josephine never regretted the sacri-
fee she made when she gave up the
pony cart, for she had made many lit
tie sufferers smile and gladdened the
hearts of many poor children.

BOY MUST PUT ON HIS SHOES
Scientists Warn That All Kinds of
Disease Germs Lurk in Ground
Many Dangers involved.

1t seems a pity to lay a destroying
hand on such a delightful recollection
as centers around the barefoot boy
but, verify, the joys of going barefoot
are overbalanced by the risks and dan
gers involved
In recent years scientists have dis
covered facts which show that nearly
one-quarter of our deadliest diseases
are known to attack us through breaks
or scratches in the skin and by the
bites of certain insects.
In fact, there are two great classes
of infectious diseases--those given
directly by man and those given by
insects.
Going barefooted means that the
feet will have bruises and scratches
and cuts, and when we know, as we
do now, that most, If not all, our bac
terra, disease germs and parasites live
in the ground, the Inference is easily
to be drawn.
The soil of cities swarms with germs
of all kinds, and lockjaw (tetanus),
tuberculosis, cholera, bubonic plague,
hookworm and yellow fever all come
to us through tiny animals attacking
us through the skin. Hookworm is
found in the state and countries
around 35 degrees north and south of
the equator, and is supposed to have
been brought to this country by Afri-
can slaves, as the American species is
identical with tho African
The hookworm of the South bores
its way through the skin, and bores
until it breaks into some tiny blood
vessel Taken up in the circulation, it
is carried through the system, and, in
time, reaches the intestines, where it
anchors itself by its hooks, and there
lays its eggs.
The risk of going barefoot extends
to all parts of the world. In barnyards
and fields is the germ OF. lockjaw.

A CARTER OF VIRGINIA

When The Woman had settled back
In the handsomest of her velvetlined
automobiles her thought Travelled
across the years that we're ended, com
ing up sharply to the elaborate en-
tertainment of which she had been
hostess the evening before, and she
smiled queer twisted smile for
which there seemed no reason what
ever, for certainly the dinner had been
brilliant affair and had gone off with
out a hitch
There had been the usual wonderful
gold plate and cut glass; the custom
airy perfect cuisine; the same fawless
conduct of servants; brilliant run
of repartee, and a hostess whose beau
ty and charm was an unceasing won
der to all those whose lives she
touched.
Yet The Woman as she SKINNED
along over the city streets in her
handsome car, smiled her queer and
twisted smile as her thought travelled
back over the highly successful din
ners and scores of other equally brill
liant entertainments which she had
graced since she became the mistress
Of The Mans beautiful home.
When The Woman's name was an

the hostess of the day turned to the
Stranger Guest and remarked that the
beautiful woman just coming in was

JosEPHINE's SACRIFICE.

Josephine Peters was a little girl
who had about everything little girl
ten years old could wish for, Her
father was rich man and she was an
only child and while she was not sell
fish she had very little chance to
think of others, she was so well cared
for herself.
Her uncle John was very fond of
her and sent for her birthday the
money for a pony and cart. Joseph
inc lived in a large city and he wanted
her to select just the cart she
wanted
The day after she received the
money she was riding in her fathers
auto through a street where the very
poor children lived, as it was a short
way to the place her mother was
going.
Mother she said, looking at the
children on the steps and on the
street, why do these children stay in
the city this warm weather? They
should be in the country"
They have not the money" her
mother told her, land there are thou
sands of them who never saw the
country
When they reached home that night
Josephine asked if they could not give
the poor children the money to go
away to the country.
Her mother laughed. my dear" she
said, 'it would be impossible to help
all of them, but if you care to help
anyone, cook has little granddaugh-
ter who is cripple and her family
is very poor. / have sent them many
things, but there is much you can do
for the little girl
What can l do?" asked Josephine.
THAT is for you to find out" said her
mother. Cook goes to see her to-
morrow; you can have John take you

In the auto if cook is willing to take
you with her"
The next Josephine visited the little
cripple girl whose name was Nellie.
She could not walk and had to sit in
a rocking chair all day in a barely
furnished room. Josephine had not
supposed anyone in the world could be
SO poor, and she came home with
tears in her eyes and sorrow in her
heart
oh, mother" she sobbed, " she has
to sit in that horrid room and there
are no books or games to play with
and her dress was so old 1t was
clean, but it was worse than cook

my clothes to give her and can't
give her comfortable chair and fix
her room pretty? We have so many
pretty things we could furnish her
room and not miss thing from here"
That is quite true" said her
mother; but you would not be giving
1t If let you take these things. Why
don't you buy her a chair with your
own money? You have saved some
from your allowance" Josephine did
not answer, and her mother waited
opportunity she had ever had for test
ing Josephine's generosity After
few minutes Josephine said: 81 think
have five dollars all my own Could
] do much with that?
you could not get the wheel chair"
said her mother, land that is what
Nellie needs most of all; then she
could get around the house and not
have to sit In one place all day"
There was another pause.
Mother is that money Uncle John
sent my very OWN"
Eyes, DEAR" her mother replied. at

Uncle John said it was for a pony
and cart or anything you wanted"
i think said Josephine very slow
iy, that it would be better to get the
chair for Nellie and make her room
comfortable. can run about and |
ride in the auto, and I really do not
need the pony and cart
She swallowed very hard as she
said it, and her mother knew it was
sacrifice as well as a victory She
kissed her and told her that some day
she would explain to her how happy
she made her by deciding to do this
I'll get her the pony and cart said
her father when he heard of Joseph
ines sacrifice.
No. said her mother; you must
not do that. You will spoil every
thing This is the turning point OF
her life; do not let US spoil it."
