have taken root between the rows, it
is advisable to pillow up the center Of
the rows, leaving the younger plants
to form the new row.
Strawberry plants produce the heavi-
est at the first seasons fruiting and
decline very rapidly after that time.
For this reason, it is advisable to re-
move the old plants and give the
younger ones a chance to develop. The
old plants can easily be told from the
young plants by the roots. Old plants
have dark-colored roots, while young
plants have light-colored. Also, the
crowns Of the old plants become black
and elongated, while on the young
plants the crowns are short and light
cOlOred.
Good fruit growers will ordinarily
not fruit the beds more than two sea-
sons, it being cheaper and more profit
able to set out new bed. But where
only limited ground is to be had, the
renovating system above described can
be utilized to advantage.

While she was speaking the door
opened and Brewster, the butler,
stepped into the room.
"Mr Streetman is calling" he an
nounced in well-modulated tones.
"Oh, show him up!" Miss Willough-

had vanished she shot swift smile at
her companion. Speak of the

"Oh, he isn't the devil" Georgy re-

There was certainly no reason to doubt
her extreme dislike of the gentleman
who was at that moment waiting be-
low.
Ethers hand was on the doorknob;
but she hesitated long enough to say
to Georgy:

off her perch on the chair-arm and
started for the door through which
Brewster had disappeared.

Georgy" Miss Willoughby entreated.
She knew that Georgy and Mr.. Street

for her guest.
"Oh, I'll be polite enough-in my

She was we'll aware that she was an

mischievous delight in shocking people

Ethel Willoughby had already closed
her boudoir door behind her; but
Georgy had not yet reached the hall

the caller, who was close upon his
heels.
Henry Streetman, handsome, well

he came face to face with Georgy

SOIL FOR THE BUSH FRUITS
Rich Clay Loan Recommended for
Gooseberries and Currants-Sand
Should Be Avoided.

GOoseberries and currants are very
much alike and whatever is said of the
one is also applicable to the other. A
rich clay loan is best for them, and
the exposure of the plantation should
be toward the north, if possible, as the
ground on such an exposure does not
dry out as quickly as any other ex-
posture. Sand should also be avoided.
In setting out a plantation, the cut
tings should be not less than eight
inches long, and placed vertically in
the soil, which should be made very
rich with rotten stable manure.

Imitation Pearls.

Clever imitation pearls have been
made by filling thin glass bulbs with a
solution of fish scale nacre. Another
method is to coat the inside of the
glass bulbs with ten per cent gelatin
solution which is allowed to become
only partially dry before a small
amount Of sodium phosphate is added,
then the drying process is continued
slowly. The limitations look much like
genuine pearls, but they can be detect
ed by noting the place where the bulbs
have been sealed.

RENEW OLD STRAWBERRY BED
Young Plants Should Be Given Chance
to Develop-Heaviest Crop From
First Fruiting.

(By e. P. SANDSTEN, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
AS soon as the picking season Is
over, the strawberry bed should be
moved and raked off. The dead
leaves around the old crowns should
also be removed and burned. The
rows are generally crowded with
plants in the center, and these should
be thinned out and the rest thoroughly
cultivated with the hoe. Then the
beds should be given a coating of well
rotted barnyard manure worked into
the ground, and a liberal supply of
water applied.
In many cases where the rows are
heavily matted and the young plants

Seward hardly seems to realize after ALL the great
improvements in the means of transportation which have
been effected here in the last few months. We have so
many big things in view that have rather ignored the
splendid wagon road and the fine railroad bed built for
miles out of the city this summer The wagon road which
has now been completed to distance of five miles from
the would be called boulevard in any other Alaskan
city and the railroad bed as far as has gone would be
worthy of any place ON earth How few of the people
have even seen the fine new bridges across Resurrection
river and other streams both the wagon road and the
railroad Of course Seward may have expected greater
things before this and the delay not pleasant but it
would be well to let people outside know that the
comparatively small ,uouul Got greater than
any other town i'm Alaska has got this year. with eX
cepton 1t be said again that we might have got
infinitely more, but let show outsiders what have
got and keep praying for the rest.
