Early Hatched Chickens Stronger.

The early Matched chicken is not

egg, but is the chicken best able to
Withstand disease and parasites.

chickens are hurt most by lice. The

Frat Until Erosts Occur.

49, ~'f-tt i@-Aa 0~-NAs
Strawberries in almost continuous
supply from early summer until
lrosts occur arr low a possibility for
truckers and home gardeners in the
Northern States ~Everbetrins" Va
rieties Developed hy growers in re-
cent years from long rltins plants
OF -hor' season types and from hy
birds have passed 1t successful trial
period aud arc nos recommended by
specialists OF the United States De
partment OF Agriculture ioc planting.
The best varieties and cultural prac-
ticea somewhat different from the
culture oil common sraw berries
described in a publication which has
just appeared from the Department OF
Agriculture. Farmer Bulletin 90l. "EI-
erbearIns strawbetries."
Besides their long fgu.Jins season.
some OF the new varieties are very
hardy and resistant to disease. The
southern boundary OF jhe territory IN
which the tyerbearing type- can be
grown most successfully is described
by the specialists rs the northern
parts OF Virginia, Kentucky. Arkansas
and Kansas. South of these limits
points may be found where they will
grow with some degree OF success. it
is said. but Jhey are not definitely
known 10 thrive there.
The two leadins Varieties Of the
eyerbearins type are the Progressive
and the superb. The Progressive has
been found to Withstand the winters
OF the Middle West better than most
other varieties except The Dunlap, one
of its parents. The superb also IS
harder than most varieties OF straw
berries 4 remarkable characteristic
OF both is that il blooms are killed by
frost they soon flower again This
character makes them especially val
liable for sections subject to Hate
spring lrosls, which often destroy thr
crop in ordinary sorts.
Ii is explained that the new ever
beating sorts, which are sometimes
confused with other varieties shown,
abnormal behavior, differ in that they
bear fruit under favorable conditions
more or less continuously from the
season of he ordinary varieties until
igost Certain varieties of the eyer
bearing type which have been set for
a year bear d fair crop during the
regular strawberry season. For the
period Immediately after this early
summer crop the amount OF fruit OBJ
tanned is small. In August, Septcm-
Der and October it becomes larger.
and under favorable conditions the
late summer and autumn yield may
equal or exceed The early summer
crop. They are moi wen adapted to
sections having long drouehJs except
when irrigation can be supplied
Plants OF the eycrbearing varieties
should be set at the same time as
those Of other varieties as soon as
/ the ground is in condition in the
spring, Growers OF the Progressive
