On every farm at inventory time

Nails, bolts, screws and the like can
well be listed as one item, regardless
Of varying sizes and kinds, giving the
approximate number Of pounds.
Where a definite system of carrying
such shop supplies is In use. as is the
case on some of the well-organized,
large farms. the quantities Of the diff

counted or weighed and appraised ac-

the latter part of July on land from
which an early crop of potatoes, beets,

been removed. The securing of a good

having the soil in excellent condition

four inches long. Spread the roots
somewhat and set the plants just as
deep as they were before they were
dug. Be especially careful not to set
them deeper and do not get earth over
the growing tips. for this will probably
kill the plants.
Give newly set Strawberries frequent
cultivation and hoeing during the en-
tire season to keep down the weeds
and make strong plants for fruiting
the next year. Piex Ell all blossom
buds which appear except In the Ease
Of fall-bearing varieties, on which
blossoms may be left after August I to
fruit In the fan. When the ground
freezes cover the plants or the entire
bed with about two inches Of straw
cr other vegetable matter free from
weed seeds. Coarse strawy manurs
with the fine portions shaken out, Is
excellent for this purpose. The OBJ
lect of this winter covering Is to
keep the ground from freezing and
thawing with each change In tempera-
ture, because this freezing and thaw-
ing win slowly lift the plants out Of
the ground.
Nitrate OF Soda Helps.
In the spring when the plants begin
to blossom spread nitrate OF soda
along each side Of the row, using one
pound to so feet Of row. If the
ground has not been mulched. cultivate
and then mulch with vegetable matter
between the rows. 50 as TO conserve
the moisture from the spring rains.
If the bed Is to be saved for another
year. rake Off the mulch as soon as
the crop is gathered, and hoe or pun
ont the older plants. leaving only
enough Of the younger m to send
out runners to make a new narrow
or wide matted row. as desired.
Old beds may be cleaned NJ, as Just
mentioned. by hoeiDg or plowing the
Space between rows and leaving the
Youngest plants In the row. 1t is gen
orally best, however. &C. start q new
bed every second year.
