PREPARE FOR STRAWBERRIES
If Soil Does Not tiave Abundance Of

Preparation Of land for planting
Strawberries should be complete and
thorough. Failure in this respect be-
fore setting the plants is likely TO
prove costly. If the soil does not
have abundant hunts, it should be
supplied before planting. either by
making heavy applications OF manure
or by growing and turning under one
or more green-manure crops. prefer
ably legume. II nematodes are
present in the soil, they may be starry
cd out by growing some Of the crops
which are immune TO them. such as
corn, sorghum. winter oats, rye. mil
let, velvet beans, peanuts. and certain
varieties of cowpeas. of which the
iron. and Brabham are perhaps the
best known.
Both the hill and the spaced matted
row systems are used extensively IN
irrigated regions. Where the soil Is
heavy and rather impervIous to water,
narrow beds must be made and the
hill system should be adopted. In
cases where the soil is penetrated
readily to some distance by irrigated
water, the beds may be wider and the
matted-row system may be used.
Directions for planting, care after
planting. harvesting. and shipping,
varieties and uses of strawberries are
contained in the bulletin, copies OF
which may be secured free, so long
as the supply lasts, on application TO

Nature Studies On the Prairie.

a Bloom township farmer says that
be has a pet catfish in water tank
on his farm which serves useful
purpose. Whenever this farmer gets
the fever to fish he digs up Il few
worms and throws them in the tank.
II the pet fish grabs them up he knows
fish are biting and gets his fish pole
and hikes for the river. If. on the
other hand, the fish pays no attention
to the worms he knows it is a poor day
for fishing and lets his wife tell him
what she wants done and does it. So
he never misses it and always returns
from the river with string of fish
like the proverbial small boy gets. A

RODENTS HARM FRUIT TREES
Surface of Ground and in Scne
Cases Gird;e Trees.

Each winter considerable damage Is
done TO young fruit trees by rabbits
and field mice. They gnaw the bark
near the surface OF the ground and in
extreme cases the trees are entirely
glrdled. Often such injured trees
may be saved If suitable measures
are taken promptly; but a much bet
ter plan is to protect the trees from
injury in the first place. This can be
done by placing around each one a
tree protector, made of closely-woven
galvanized iron wire or of thin wood
veneer. The wire protectors are
cheaper and are Iluch more gen.

FOR FLU
Keep Your Liver Active, Your

Colds by Taxing Calotabs,
the NauSealess Calomel
Tablets, that are De-
ightful, Safe and

Physicians and Druggists are advis-
ing their friends to keep their systems
purified and their organs in perfect
working order as a protection against
the return of Influenza. They know
that a clogged up system and lazy
liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short a cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
'Calotab at bedtime with a swallow Of
water-that g all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents.
Every druggist is authorized TO refund
your money if you are not perfectly
delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.

SMALL ORCHARD IS FAVORED
Every Farm Should Have at Least
Twenty Fruit Trees and Some
Berry Bushes

Every man who lives on his own
farm should have a few fruit trees
and in fenced orchard or yard. An

farm should have ten apple. five peach
