any white; their smooth, rotund form;
and the clean-boned leg, devoid of the
feather characteristic of the other two
British draft breeds.
The breed is criticized for the lack
of size to supply the heavy-draft type
demanded for the heavy hauling in
the cities and for being too light in
bone for the size Of the body.
Suffolks were first imported into
this country in the early eighties and
have been imported since then in
small numbers, but have never gained
a very strong foothold here. One rea-
son for this has no doubt been due to
the lack of size as compared with
other draft breeds. Another reason
why no more have been imported has
probably been that they have not been
bred in very large numbers in Eng
land, being confined to a limited area,
and the home demand by the farmers
has been sufficient to take care of
most of the animals produced; and,

2nd of April, severe storms will Sos
the continent. Heavy local rains, high
winds, electrical and hail storms and
tornadoes are all probable during
these dates. On the 31st of March
and LIST Of April these results may be
expected in severe proportions in
Georgia, South Carolina and border
ing states, upper Ohio valley or CEN
trail lake region.
Much cooler and clear weather will
follow close upon the heels of this
storm area,
About April 1st, storms will renew
in activity with high winds and rain
crossing the United States during the
next three or four days.
Under certain conditions severe
storminess does not appear during the
storm periods but the symptoms, such
as changing wind directions, Increased
warmth, followed by cooler as the
wind shifts TO west and northwest are
the only effects that are felt. Such
conditions are due to a fight between
polar and equatorial air currents.
This is the time of year that nature
fights the two extremes-summerh heat
and winter cold, as the sun crosses
the equator and moves slowly north
ward. Consequently both forces are
equally strong at this time. Little is
understood regarding these atrial con-
fiicts, hence this PARTICULAR storm pre-
diction can only be taken as prob
ability. AS a general storm it is not
expected to be anything serious out
side of electrical storms and light
rains generally, but in localities
storms may take on more severe pro-
portions.

is a violation of public order; a dis
turbance of public order by an act of
violence or by an act likely to produce
violence, or which, causing consterna-
ton or alarm, disturbs the peace and
quiet of a community.
BY this it may be seen the term,
disturbing the peace, is a very broad
one and can be readily used in cases
where a more serious offense has
been committed when evidence to
prove the seriousness is lacking.
The usual punishment for disturb
ing the peace is fine of from one to
ten dollars. The more irritating forms
of disturbances are especially treated
by statutes which provide for more
severe punishment. There are special
statutes in most states against drunk
enness, keeping saloons open on Sun

SUFFOLK.

The native home of the Suffolk
breed is Suffolk county, in eastern
England, and the production of the
breed in that country is confined al
most entirely to that and adjoining
counties. The Suffolk has not been
bred for the heavy draft work of the
city, but largely for the farm, and for
this purpose it ranks high among. the
farmers Of eastern England, who con-
slider it capable of doing a large
amount of labor on a small amount of
feed and for longer periods than other
drafters. The breed is used more ex-
clusively for farm work than any
other of our draft breeds.
In size the Suffolk is smaller than
other drafters; and while occasionally
a mature stallion in fair condition
may weigh 1000 pounds, such a
weight is not characteristic of the
breed. Considering their size, the

LOCATING THE STRAWBERRY
BED.

To the parties setting out a small
strawberry bed | would suggest: Set
them close to the house as possible,
that they can be got at readily; in
this way they will receive better care,
for you can put in odd times on them
that they would not receive if located
at a distance, also it makes it more
convenient for the women folks (and
you can bank on the women folks
every time it comes to raising straw
berries, anyway, if located close to
the buildings or road they will be an
object of pride and you will see to it
that they have proper care; if located
at the hackside of the farm, no one
will see them and they are apt to be
neglected.
Almost any good soil will grow
strawberries; as a rule, the soil should
be porous and we'll drained, If grow
ing for market and you have a warm,
sandy soil, / would advice growing
early varieties; if a heavy or cold soil
or on ground sloping to the north, late
varieties, as usual thing, the early
and late berries bring best prices.
Berries in the height Of the season
always being lower, and if your mar
ket is limited sometimes it will be
over-supplied. The one fault in rails
ing early berries is danger Of frost.
Unless located in locality unusually
free from frosts in May, would not
advise growing the real early varie-
ties.
The season can be extended some
what by mulching, also by irrigation,
giving the plant plenty of moisture at
all times will almost invariable cause
all berries to mature and lengthen the
season.
I have had very good results ex-
tending the season by applying coarse
manure before snow goes off of beds
(this. would not apply if ground was
not frozen under SNOWY, or before the
frost starts to leave the ground if no
snow. BY this method ! have nearly
doubled the returns. When berries

and

they sometimes do not get berries, for
if drouth should come along. the
season closes very suddenly and
parties who have nice berries at this
time can usually get their own price.
My method is to set them on ground
that has had a liberal application of
stable manure and planted to some
hood crop the previous season, my
preference is early sweet corn, for by
giving this good care the ground can
be sowed to some cover crop early;
this, in turn, can be plowed down late
in the fall or allowed to stand all
winter and plowed in the spring.
By blowing late in the fall the
white grub and other troublesome in
sects are killed by being plowed up
just before winter sets in and exposed
to the elements.
There are several advantages in fall
blowing: One of the most important
is that the work is sure to be done in
season for setting the plants early; it
is also very important, should the
weather be bad in the spring; you can
generally get time to set the plants
early if the soil is ready, even though
it does rain. Sometimes your stand
of plants depend upon whether they
are set early or not; if set late and
dry weather sets in early, a large
number are apt to die or be weakened
so they might as we'll have died.
With the strawberry, the same as
any other crop, the better condition
the soil is put in before planting, the
more certain you are to secure good
stand Of plants; of course, fitting the
ground will not alone produce the de-
sired effect, but it makes it much
easier to care for the plants. Many
people make the very common mis-
take of waiting too long after setting
before they begin cultivation; as a
usual thing, we set the plants while
the ground is very wet and we pack
the ground around the plants with our
feet, which forms a crust and this
should be broken as soon as possible,
by running close to plants with fine
tooth cultivator or hoe, as the season
advances we should keep farther from
the plants and run cultivator shall
lower.

March 2Sth to April 3rd.
The storm in the west last week is
expected to be in the Mississippi val
ley on Sunday, the 28th, with a gen
eral rain area in advance and snow in
its wake. This storm area will reach
eastern sections Of the United States
about Monday or Tuesday, the Goth
or 30th, with warmer and drier air in
the eastern states and especially those
south Of the Ohio river. A sharp fall
of temperature will follow this storm
with much cooler and stormy weather
in the northern states from the Lake
region and Ohio Valley westward to
Pacific Coast on Monday and Tuesday.
Moderating conditions are expected
TO appear over western states about
Monday, the goth, Mississippi valley

DISTURBING THE PEACE.

The law aims to preserve to the
people of the United States public
orderliness at all times and tranquil
ity in all affairs. Since the peace and
of community can be dis
turbed so easily and in so many ways,
statutes on the subject
have been established in different
states.
In some states the offense is called
breach of the peace and in others dis
turbing the peace, disturbing, disor-
derby conduct, and such. These var
ious offenses are usually classed in
law under the general heading Of mis-
demeanors, which is the lowest CLASH
fication of unlawful acts. A general
definition of this sort Of misdemeanor

Sufoks have a deep and wide body,

High ideals in sanitary require
ments for rural schools are proposed
in a bulletin that is distributed
through the United States Bureau of
Education. The bulletin comes from
the Joint Committee on Health Prob
lens in Education, composed of men,
beers of the National Education Asso-
citation and the American Medical As.
sociation.
The general ideal proposed is that
the country school should be as sani-
tary and wholesome in essential par
ticulars as the best home in the COM
munity.'
"The school should be located in
heaIthful place." declares the commit
tee. Noise should be eliminated;
children should not be obliged to walk
farther than two miles or ride more
than six; Fairgrounds should be ample
and we'll drained; and the school
ground should include real garden
or experimental farm, with trees and
plants grouped artistically."
The school house, according to the
bulletin, should be as nearly fire
proof as possible. Doors should open
outward. A small room for consulta-
tions and emergency purposes, and
one for workshop, instruction in cook
ing and preparing refreshments,
should be provided.
In the matter of ventilation and
heating, the bulletin gives specific
suggestions. Fresh air should be
provided through window board venti-
lators except where the furnace or
jacketed stove is used, in which case
adequate inlets and outlets should be
provided. Every school should have
thermometer and temperature in
cold weather should be between &C de-
grees and 6S degrees Fahrenheit.
Light should be abundant. "The
best arrangement" says the bulletin,
"is to have the light come only from
the left side of the pupil and from the
long wall of the class room. The
school room should receive direct sun
light sometime during the day, but
the main windows should not face di-
rectly south. East or west facing is
desirable. In providing shades for
windows dark ones should be used at
the top of windows to control light
on bright days.
There should be no dry sweeping
or dusting," says the committee.
"Floors and furniture should be clean
ed with damp sweepers and oily
cloths. Scrubbing, summing, and air.
ing are better than any form Of fumi-

Furthermore, other countries have

above what Americans would pay.
The Sufrolks in this country are
found in small numbers in a large
number Of states, but have never
gained any strong foothold, and con-
sequently their adaptability to our
conditions can scarcely be judged.
The stations have been crossed to
some extent on mares in this country,
