GROW GOOD STRAWBERRIES
Portion of Every Home Garden Should
Be Devoted to Strawberries to
Supply Fresh Fruit for Table.
Clemson College, 8. c.

Clemson College, ). y.
A portion of every home garden
should be devoted to Strawberries. They
are easy to grow, do we'll on practical
" every kind of soil, and very small
area is sufficient to supply the family.
By planting varieties that ripen in
succession, fresh fruit may be had
from early spring until late in the
summer. In the early fall, until the
first of November, is the best time to
set the plants. Delighting In cool
weather, il set at this time they will
become we'll established by spring, and
will be able to resist droughts which
often occur at this season.
In selecting plants for the new bed,
only the strongest OF the present
years runners should be used. The
roots of new plants are always white,
which distinguishes them from older
plants whose roots are always black.
Previous to planting, remove a por-
ton of the leaf surface to lessen evap-
grafton, and shear the roots to about
one-half II they are very long. A com.
mon mistake in planting Is to scoop
out a shallow hole and thrust the
plant into it, leaving the roots a
crumpled mass with their tips near
the surface where they quickly dry
out. To avoid this ,nake deep hole
with a spade or long-pointed trowel, in
sert the roots and spread them out fan
shape. allowing them to hang down
full length. In this way, every part
of the root system will be in direct
contact with the soil and kept con-
stantly moist. Place the crown, or
bud, Just at the surface. II 1t IS below
the level Of the ground, after the soil
settles it is smothered; if nlu h above,
the roots will dry out.
OF the various methods Of training
strawberry runners, the hill system Is
without doubt the most satisfactory
for he home grower. The plants are
placed IA to IS inches apart in the
row, and all runners kept removed, ex-
cept a few trained with the row to
produce new plants. Not quite 80 many
berries will be produced as with some
of the matted row systems, but they
will be much larger and OF superior
quality. It is well during the first sea-
son to pinch off all the fruiting stems
as they appear in order that the en-
tire strength Of the plant may be di-
rected to the development OF the
crown and leaves. BY the end OF the
season, the plants should have thick
broad crowns, each holding the rudi.
ments of several stalks of berries and
containing plant food in sufficient
quantity to produce a maximum crop
the second season.
A strawberry bed may bear from
three to five crops if given careful at
tertion, but it Is better to allow the
plants to fruit only twice. AS the
bed gets older, the plants become
weakened and often diseased. For the
very highest grade berries, the plants
should be allowed to fruit only once
and a new bed set annually.

The High Seas.

High seas means the open sea or
ocean. The claims of various ma
tions to exclusive rights and superi-
ority over extensive tracts of the
ocean highway have been settled
after much controversy by gen.
eral international law. The princi-
pie now accepted is that the juris-
diction of maritime states extends
only for three miles off their own
coasts, the remainder of the seas
being high seas, accessible on equal
terms to all nations. Inland seas
and estuaries, of course, are ex-
cepted.

Oriqin of an Insult.

The expression "blackguard" orig
inally indicated the scullions, kitch-
en- boys and potwashers who brought
up the rear when great mans
household was moved from place to
place. AS these persons were by no
means choice in their language or
elegant in their department the
word was soon applied to those who
in speech of action resembled them.

Natural Viaduct.

In Argentina there is natural
bridge that is one of the most won
derful in the world. 1t spans the
Rio Mendoza and is known as the
Inca bridge. But it is the work of
nature, and not, as was popularly
supposed, of the Incas. The road
on which it occurs was probably a
colonial highway made by the Peru
Wan Incas, who took advantage of
the phenomenon by leading their
road over this natural viaduct.

THE BARD KNEW MEDICINE.
Il May Be That Shakespeare's Son.
in-Iaw Coached Him.

in-Iaw Coached Him.
How Shakespeare acquired SO
profound a knowledge of medicine
is explained in new light by DR..
Walter Lindley in the Medical Rec
ord, in which he gives much credit
to DR.. John Hall, Shakespeare's
son-in-law. The physician had a
'1arge and gainful practice" He
attended the families of Lord Say,
the Earl of Shrewsbury and the
Earl of Northampton and was held
in high regard by many prominent
and aristocratic persons.
A deeply learned man and given
to original research, he made a
mark in the medical profession.
Shakespeare's daughter, susanna,
married DR.. Hall in 1907, she being
twenty-four and he thirty-one. As
the dramatist was only twelve years
older than his son-in-law, they were
on close terms and often discussed
medicine and philosophy. While
Shakespeare had often spoken in
cynical fashion of physicians, it has
been discovered that after one mar
ried into the family he took the
profession most seriously.
DR.. Lindley, who has made an
extensive study recently of Shake
speare's work from medical point
of view, lays stress on what he con-
siders the modernity of the medical
lore of the playwright. The alienist,
he says, can find nowhere a more
agonizing appeal for help than the
lines from "Macbeth," beginning,
"Canst thou minister to a mind dis
eased?"
Again, Shakespeare forestalls
Hahnemann, the father of home
opathy, and his motto, "Similia
Similibus Curantur," in the lines
from "Romeo and Juliet" where he
makes Benvolio say:
Take thou some new infection to the eye.
And the rank poison Of the old will die.
A passage especially showing the
influence of DR.. Hall upon the poet
is quoted by DR.. Lindley from
'Pericles," where the physician,
Cerimon, opens the chest contain
ing the body of Thasia and at
tempts to bring her back to life.
The writer gives much evidence
to show that DR.. Hall was man Of
such deep learning and culture and
social standing that his influence
upon the life and work of man of
so comprehensive mind as Shake
peare must have been a strong one.

The celebration Of the Community

in a dinner table conversation Of a

One of the group, a young man who
had just returned from study in Ger
many, was enthusiastic over the com.
munity festivals there, and the trans.

United States had its birth at that
time. The first community Christmas

An Ancient Poem

When Christmas approaches each
bosom is gay,
That festival banishes sorrow away,
While Richard he kisses both Susan
and Dolly
When tricking the house up with
ivy and holly,
For never as yet it was counted a
/ crime
To .e merry and cherry at that hap
py time,
Then come turkey and chine, with
the famous roast beef,
Of English provisions still reekoned

Roger wishes the cook maid his
wishes to crown,
"0h, Dolly, pray give me a bit of

For never as yet it was counted a
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap
py time.
The luscious plum pudding does
smoking appear,
And the charming mince pie is not
far from the rear.
Then each ticks his chops to behold
such sight,
For to taste it affords him superior
delight,
For never as yet it was counted
crime
To be merry and cherry at that hap

Now the humming October goes
merrily round,
And each with good humor is hap

The song and the dance and the

you delight,
And the sugared rich cake is dis

For never as yet it was counted a

And may all who have plenty Of
