Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. G. BOWSFIELD

AS land Increases in value and farms
decrease In size questions Of econOmi-
cal feeding force themselves to the
front.
Farmers should grow more root crops
as stock feed, Cor some Of these are
very rich in feeding value and well
crops as mangel wurzels. tHrnips, arti-
chokes and sugar beets give q big re-
turn per acre Of some of the best feed
ing crops on the market. Any little
lot in which you have failed to put
some early crop will answer the pur.
pose, and the harvesting Of the crop
Is matter Of comparative ease.
Either sugar beets or wurzels, II
sown in drills two feet apart in the
fore part of June and cultivated, will
bring from twenty to thirty tons Of
rich feed per acre in the average sea-
son. They are good feed for both cat
tie and sheep. being grown extensively
for that purpose alone in certain Sec
tons. Dig or pull them out if possible
before the first freezes, as there is
danger Of poison being in frozen beets.
A cool, damp cellar or pit answers the
purpose Of storage for winter. A beet

time seems to add tone and zest to the
herd. These sugar beets are especially

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.
Il IL Profitable to Renew Planting
Every Three or Four Years.

Il 10 Profitable to Renew Planting
Every Three or Four Years.
There are two general cultural meth
DDS Of handling strawberries. One is
to cultivate them clean throughout the
year, and the other is to mulch them
lightly with straw during the winter
and plow this under after the fruit has
been picked in the spring.
When clean cultivation is used the
cultivation is discontinued during the
harvesting season in order to facilitate
picking. Some growers grow the ber-
ries in hills, while some grow them in
matted row. 1t is difficult to say
which is best. as both have good sue
cess. The great advantage Of the straw
mulch is that it gives the berries some
thing to lie on and keeps them out Of
the dirt and enables one to pick them
when the ground is fairly wet and also
adds organic matter to the soil.
Every year after the picking season
it Is necessary to cut out great many
Of the plants, as they will have COW
cred the ground pretty well by that
time. This is usually done by throw
ing furrow away from each side Of
the row and then working it back i'm
mediately. This leaves the matted
row, from which the plants may be re-
moved If they are too thick. It is usu-
ally thought most profitable to renew
the planting every three or four years.

Receiving More Attention Every Year
a. . Commercial Crop In Kansas.
The growing Of horseradish as q
commercial crop is receiving more at
tentiOn every year. Soil and climatic
conditions in portions Of Kansas are
well adapted to its growth. Horse.
radish production near Topeka is a
profitable industry. Adjacent to most
cities and many small towns may be
found gardeners who make a speciality
Of grating and bottling this crop.
'Horseradish Is best adapted to a
cool, deep. rich soil and late growing
season." says M. F. Ahearn, associate
professor Of horticulture in the Kansas
State Agriculture college. 1T grows
until cold weather and because Of its
rapid growth frequently becomes a
troublesome weed. 1t is a perennial.
"Horseradish is propagated from root
cuttings. which should be smooth and
straight and from four to six inches
long. The tops of the cuttings should
be placed from three to five inches be-
low the surface of the soil. Horserad-
ish should be planted twelve to eight
cen inches apart in rows sufficiently
wide to permit horse tillage."
The crop is harvested by blowing out,
washing and grading the roots. 1t is
necessary to grade the roots so that
they will fit the grating machine. The
price Of hOrseradish varies from So to
$50 ton. An acre produces from two
to four tons, but greater yields are OBJ
tanned from deep, rich soils where
there is no lack of moisture.

THE MATCHING EGGS.

Select eggs from only the best hens
in the flock. Twenty or twenty five
should be selected and the eggs from
them kept for Matching purposes.
Eggs for Matching should not weigh
less than two nor more than two and
one-half ounces. They should not be
washed. as this lowers their vitality.
The eggs should be gathered two
or three times daily md placed In q
dry place where the temperature is
below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

relished for their sugar content and
are thus one Of the most valuable Of
feeds.
Turnips and carrots make fine stock
feed. The hogs especially relish them
when once they find they are good and
will make high priced meat out Of
them. And feed Of this sort seems to
be especially relished by all kinds Of
stock during the winter season in the
absence Of silage or other succulent
feeds. 1t is not necessary to cook
these If care is taken not to overfeed.
Just throw in what they will clean up,
and this will always Keep their appe-
tite whetted for more.a
Many farmers have found artichokes
Of great value in pork production. If
left to maturity in the fall the hogs
can be turned in to harvest the crop,
and they will do it at little expense.
A hog will eat great many when he
has to root for them, and drove can

bloom begins to show and keep free
from weeds. Carrots have high food
value for hogs and other stock.
All the more common kinds Of roots
are greatly relished by horses, cattle,
sheep. hogs. chickens and turkeys.
Roots are bone. muscle. fat and heat
producers and are as good as corn, hay
and oats. They keep the system sup
piled with that necessary fluid that is
lacking when dry feed alone is used.
Farmers having silos are not much
troubled with this problem. Roots
have a medicinal value. and every
farmer should grow them for his do

ASKS CHIEF POLICE
TO FIND HIS WIFE

Charles Hill, living at Cattalaugua,
N. Y, who resided at this place some
months ago, has written a letter TO
Chief of Police Frank D. Sanders,
asking the latter to locate his (Hill's)
wife, and furnish the writer of the
said letter her address. Chief San
ders did locate the woman yesterday,
but whether or not she will consent
to go back to her husband remains to
be seen, although she Is reported to
have told the chief that she is doing
we'll enoungh in Escambia county,
and that the trip held out no attrac-
tons to her and the children.
Hill claims that he has secured a
good job, and that he is now able to
care for his wife and children as they
should be, but the wife and several
little ones are with her parents in
the western part of the county.

of twelve aldermen in itself was good,
but did not appreciate the idea of
electing four additional aldermen at
large, from whom the mayor was to
have been chosen. The restriction of
the selection of mayor to the four
aldermen at large, he pointed out,
presented very serious possibilities,
and he thought the mayor should be
elected by the council, and should be
a capable executive. He also thought
that such a man should be selected
from any point where he might be
gotten, even if the council should
have to go beyond the city limits to
find such a person. The mayor, he
thought, should not be given veto
power. The president of the council,
who should be, selected from and by
the board, he thought, should be care
fully selected with a view to getting
man who could assume the duties
of the mayors Office. Mr.. Cunning
ham stressed the idea that the alder
nen should be legislative body, and
that the aldermen should be selected
from each of the twelve city precincts,
! and that there should be no doubling
of the city precincts. Each of the
precincts should have representation
in the council.

in Pensacola, and that such a plar

so much as they do demand the right
to speak, and he suggested that the

who will have a say in who shall be-

of course, the present charter wai

WOW. COMMITTEE
To TALK Up THE
ENCAMP MENT HERE

A committee representing the local
W. o. w. lodges will start out i'm
mediately to work up interest in forth
coming encampment of the uniform
rank, to open August 81 at Palmetto
Beach.
Pensacola cannot afford to fall
down on the proposition of taking
care of these people" said a promi-
nent member of the order last night,
land must bespeak the very best
success for the committee which viii
start out on Wednesday. We must
do something, for there will be raised
at least $500 to take care of the en-
campment. That is all they expect
from the city or citizens, and we
should be anxious to encourage the
encampment, to come here every
year."
Pensacolians remember what a
crowd of Woodmen came here on the
occasion of the last year encampnent,
and are assured that an even larger
number will come next month. In
quiries have been made as to accomo-
dations in the city, and the wives and
daughters of many of the Uniform
Rank men will come and spend the
week here. Leading officers, or SOW
ereigns, of the order will coIne here,
and at least one band will be in camp,
It is expected that the Forthcoming
encampment will be one of the most
successful, and the local members q
the committee should be given all the
encouragement possible.
