of tests of different rates of seeding,

pounds on new land that is first used

No fertilizer of any kind is used, and
his largest berries are about the size
of Gregg raspberries, as a rule. About
half the berries are not worth picking.
l believe that spring is the proper
time to set strawberry plants.
But if one can procure good, strong
plants in the fall, and have them taken
up with a quantity of soil adhering to
the roots, they will bear a good many
berries the following season, but not

If transplanted in the fall, without
any soil clinging to the roots, the
plants should not be allowed to bear
fruit the following season.
This is important, because when all

One day as we were approaching

There are the fields of Boaz where
Ruth CLEANED" said our dragoman, and
perhaps association of ideas caused us
to halt at the roadside. A woman was
sitting on the ground before a pile Of
wheat and chaff. She had been
threshing the little bundles of grain
that her daughter, an attractive girl of
perhaps fourteen years, had CLEANED
in the large fields near by. Here was
Ruth of 1914. At least we thought so

GROUND GRAIN BEST
FOR YOUNG SWINE
Most Satisfactory Gains Made
When Fed in SIop-GNe
Plenty of Pure Water.

There is no way that grain will go
further or make more satisfactory
gains when fed to pigs than when
ground and made in a slop. 1t should
be finely ground for this purpose and
should be soaked at least six hours
before feeding.
Do not make this slop so thin that
the pigs must drink twice what they
need to get a reasonable feed of the
meal and don't make it so thick that
it won't run readily the whole length
of the trough
Feed them as much of this slop as
they need and then let them have
access to plenty of pure water and
they will drink no more than is good
for them.

Waders for Troops.

During their war with Russia, the
Japanese troops were supplied with
waders made Of mulberry leaf as
protection against injury to health
caused by wet feet in the trenches.
Particulars now come of an improved
form of wader, of British invention.
The new wader is made of a fibrous
substance much cheaper than null
berry leaf. 1t is light, warm, water
proof, antlseptic, and impervious to
attack by insects. A pair of the
waders made of this material weighs
about two and one-half ounces. The
waders are made in two sizes-me-
dium and large. The wader is kept in
position by buttons or braces. For
occasions like bayonet charge, when
the utmost freedom for the leg and
foot is necessary, the portion of the
wader worn over and above the knee
would b. turned down.

but as he is the sort of man who
knows it ALL" l said nothing.
No doubt he believes his failure was
due to something in the soil" but, as
we experimental little ourselves, we
are fully convinced that it was all in
the handling of the plants.
The last week in October Is about
the right time to transplant, or rather
transfer strawberries.
The weather has begun to get cool
by that time and the plants are large
and strong. We set out 200 extra fine
strawberry plants last spring and al
lowed the runners to form plants until
the ground was all but covered. These
surplus plants are the ones we will
| lift this fall.
See that the soil is in good condition
to receive the plants. Plow or spade
1t as deep as the soil will'permit.
If crop of potatoes has just been
removed from the ground, it should
not need much stirring.
Place the plants in rows about four
feet apart and ten inches apart in the
rows. Rows may be either single or
double, as preferred.
If the weather is dry little water
should be poured around the roots be-
fore filling in the soil.
After the plants have gotten start,
hoe or run the cultivator between the
rows 10 loosen the surface before the
covering is put on. 1t is a good plan
to cover before hard freezing begins.
Don't cover too deep, because if the
air is excluded the plants will smother.
Clean straw, free from chaff, makes
the best covering.
Anything which holds moisture is
apt to cause the plants to rot If there
is very much rain.

IVY HEN e. M. Newman, a travel
"A" lecturer, started through the
" Holy Land with his camera,
he declared he must get
something different" In that
much photographed country. He did,
but he had his troubles, for the Mo-
hammedan despises the camera as an
instrument Of the devil, and a great
many Of the inhabitants of Palestine
are followers of the prophet.
Writing in the New York Sun, Mr..
Newman says of his trip:
Our first experience with the Mo-
hRmmedans was when we stopped on
a roadside between Jaffa and Ramleh,
the modern name for Arimathea,
whence came Joseph, who offered his
tomb at Jerusalem for the burial of
Jesus Christ. We saw a man driving
two camels that we're dragging a sharp
stick through the earth and turning
the scrubby soil into burrows. 1t was
a subject that answered several re-
Quirements of the desirable picture.
1t was unusual enough to offer a GER
tain human interest. 1t was artistic.
1t was one of the best photographs
that l was able to get illustrating the
survival Of ancient manners and GUS
toms in Palestine.
But we found. as we often found
along the roads of Palestine, that the
gentleman had been spoiled for our
purpose by two agencies-his own
peoples superstition and the foreign
ers with their jingling purses. Too
many tourists have passed along these
roads taking it for granted that they
would never pass that way again, and
some of them have distributed money
with a prOdigal hand. The tourist
with little hand camera has too often
tossed the peasant quarter where a
few cents would have done as well.
But it was not the money that
caused the first tangle with the fol-
