Farm and Garden

MONEY IN STRAWBERRIES. You Can Pisek Them Away Into October if Planted Right. That the strawberries are money makers Is evidenced from this story from C. E. Purseis of Illinois, published in the Farmer. He says: ••Grow them from plants set in the spring in four feet apart and two to three feet apart in the row. They should be kept cultivated and hoed all through the season until fall. when, if they do well, you should have a row fifteen to twenty inches wide. “The ground should be got in as good shape as possible before starting to mark the'rows. If the plot is in shape so you can check them so much the better. It saves quite a little hoeing. You can cross cultivate them about twice before they start to throw out many runners They need hoeing four or five times during the summer and should be cultivated every week or so to keep the ground from crusting over and to keep down the weeds. Work until the plants quit growing in the fall. Then they are

FINE STRAWBERRY PLANT.

mulched with straw, about three or four loads to the acre, any time after they have finished growing until winter sets in. “We plant J>erries in the early fall eight to ten inches apart and put the rows three to five and a half feet apart because they do not throw out many runners. We begin picking them about February and March and ship in pint boxes in place of quarts, in Florida they are set out in double rows about ten inches apart, with about three feet between every two rows, which they keep cultivated. The soil is nothing but sand, and they mulch to keep them out of the sand. 1 was there in January this year and saw some of them still covered, and they were shipping ripe berries at the same time, getting 50 cents per quart at the station. They ship in thirty-two and sixty-four quart refrigerators. If needed and when empty they are returned to the shipper. r “The profit in growing berries has been very good the last three years, clearing from $1.25 to $2 to the case and making from 150 to 300 cases to the acre. The past was an exceptional year. We bad ripe berries through August, September and up to October that were as fine as you ever saw, being mostly Haverland and Clyde. I know of one man who had about twen-ty-five cases that sold as high as $6 a case. No one seems to know why they fruited this year the second time. All varieties did not I had Warfields and Dunlaps that I got no berries off the second crop. There were some others who had a few Warfields and Dunlaps, but the Clyde was as heavy on one end of the bed as the first crop, which was extra good this year ”

Don’t Neglect Table Manners. No amount of knowledge, wealth and good clothes can compensate for the lack of rhe simple table manners which you should have learned in your childhood and should, if you have children of your own, reach the youngsters while they are small. Break off and butter a bit of bread at a time as you want it Eat quietly, keeping lips closed while chewing. Don’t eat hurriedly. Don’t begin to eat until the others are served. Don’t shovel food on knife blade and scrape off with fork. When food is tender enough, use fork in cutting rather than your knife. Eat desserts, cakes and salads with fork, if possible. Don’t drink tea or coffee from saucer. In using the napkin a man of good breeding leaves bis half folded and lays it across his lap. The woman spreads hers over her lap. Shun everything which looks like a display of greediness. To heap the plate, to gobble the food, to drain your glass or your cup, to tip your soup plate that none of the precious drops may escape you. td swab the gravy from the plate with a bit of bread and to demand a second help before others at the table have fairly begun of their first supply are all manifestations of a lack of breeding. Boys Dote on Melons. No one who has a piece of ntioderately light soil well exposed to the sun can afford to be Cantaloupes. On a hot day there is nothing that will replace a liberal portion of ice chilled cantaloupe, especially with ice cream in the hollow. , Cantaloupes will thus help keep the boy on the farm.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Table Rules For Little Folks. In silence 1 must take my seat And give God thanks before 1 eat. Must for my food in patience wait Till 1 am asked to hand my plate. I must not scoldMnor whine nor pout Nor move my chair or plate about. With knife or fork or anything I must not play, nor must 1 sing I must not speak a useless word. For children should be seen, not heard. I must not talk about my food Nor tret if 1 don t think it good. I must not say, “The bread is old. The tea is hot, the coffee’s cold.” I must not cry for this or that Nor murmur if my meat is fat. My mouth with food I must not crowd Nor while I'm eating speak aloud. Must turn my head to cough or sneeze And when I ask say. "If you please.” The tablecloth I must not spoil Nor with my food my fingers soil. .Must keep my seat when I have done Nor round the table sport or run. When told to rise then I must put My chair away with noiseless foot And lift my peart to God above In praise for all his wondrous love. A Brave Mother Rat. A cat that lives at one of the pojice stations in New York city went nosing about in the basement and found a nest full of baby ruts. She started in to eat them. but the mother rat came out of the dark and jumped at the intruder. There was a little fight, and then the ent backed out. She went □pstairs and got another ent. nnd rhe two went down to the basement. It needed more than two cats, though The rat beat off both her enemies and followed them upstairs and out into the street. Somel>ody set a dog into the fight, hut the. dog got tired after he had been bitten a few times, and he gave up the fight, tike the cats. vThe rat was victorious, but she had been hurt so much in the battle that a poBeeman shot her to put her out of pain, and then the baby rats, of •course, had to be drowned. The Bluebird. There is an old Indian legend that the bluebird was a piece of the sky which came down to live on earth. It surely looks as if this were true, for his head. back, wings and tail have the lovely blue color .Of the spring sky on a sunny day. Though be is now really a bird of the earth, the bluebird seems to enjoy getting back as near the sky as he can, and we often hear his call come floating down when he is so far above as to be out of sight. The bluebird is not entirely blue. Indeed, be is said to be the most patriotic of birds, for his colors are red. white and blue. With the blue above and with a red breast and white underneath, the little fellow surely seems to be doing his best to display our nation’s colors. The soft warble of the bluebird is one of the most deHghtful signs ot spring. Glass Sandpaper. “There is no sand in sandpaper.” said the manufacturer. “It is a powdered .glass that does the business. That’s where the broken bottles go.” He. nodded toward a pile of broken bottles in the yard. “We powder the glass into half a dozen different grades.” be said. “We coat our paper with an even layer of hot glue. Then, without loss of time, we spread over the glass powder. Finally we run a wooden roller lightly over the sheets to give them a good surface. When, in the past, sandpaper was made of sand it wouldn’t do a quarter of the work glass paper does.” Conundrums. Why is a baby tike wheat? Because it is first cradled, then thrashed and finally becomes the flower of the family. What is that which is sometimes with a bead, without a bead, with a tail and without a tail? A wig. When are tailors and house agents both in the same business? When they gather the rents. J Why are the tallesV-pebple the laziest? Because they are always longer In bed than others. What class ot women are apt to give tone to society? The belies (beUsi. t The French Scholars. According to a recent college professor. three French boys were studying “Hamlet” and their task was to render the soliloquy “To be or not to be” from French into English. This is what the professor read on the three respective papers: “To was dr not to am.” “To were or is to not” “To should or not to will.” Now you. my friends who study French, can say to them “It serves you right” About the Sloth. A sloth will feed on the leaves, buds and young shoots of a single tree without once descending from the branches so long as food lasts, though sometimes it will pass from one tree to another if it can do so without going to the ground, instead of walking on the branches it swings beneath them with its back downward, its coarse, .shaggy hair looks like grass withered in the sun and gives it such an appearance that It cannot be readily seen except when in’motion. The Civil War. The dates officially recognized as the beginning and the end of the civil war are Jan. 9. 1861. when the United States steamship Star of the West was fired on by state troops in Charleston harbor, and April 3. 1866, when the president proclaimed the rebellion at an end.

PRINCESS LOUISE.

Th* Kaiser’s Daughter Is Interacting Royal Matchmaker*.

THE KAISER'S DAUGHTER.

It is expected there will be some fine maneuvering among royal parents or their agents who may attend the coronation, for young Prince Edward, the heir to the throne of Great Britain. will have to be provided with a wife before long, and there isn’t a power tn Europe that would not welcome an alliance with England. It is quite unlikely that the lad himself, who is said to inherit King Edward's eye for beauty and Queen Alexantact and artistic temperament, will have much of a voice in the selection of a bride. The English nation prefers that Its royal family marry tn Queen Victoria’s family connection. The czarina, who is Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, has a daughter, the Grand Duchess Olga, who is now sixteen. English royalty has before happily intermarried with the Russians, the mother of the crown princess of Roumania having been a Russian grand duchess. While Austria has several eligible archduchesses, the possibilities of such a match are remote, owing to religious differences. Many persons think that the kaiser would like to arrange an alliance between his daughter. Princess Victoria Louise, and the heir of England, for he is most ambitious for her, his favorite child, and available crowned heads or heirs to ’thrones are scarce. With her mother she will’ attend the coronation, and the young people will then have ’ a chance to become acqualiUed. A ruler of the German ruler is Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, to whom the kaiser is so devoted that in minor matters she always gets her will. She arrived after six brothers on Sept. 13. 1892. and is therefore in her nineteenth j«ear. She Is colonel of th£ Hussars of the Bodyguard and wears her skull and crossbones badge with as jaunty an air as any young officer. Her royal highness is full of fun and high spirits and Is devoted to the companionship of Prince Oscar and Prince Joachim, though neither of them- is in her regiment. All the princes are in the kaiser’s wonderful foot guard regiment. The fact that the German princess has so many of the housewifely virtues to wlilch Queen Mary attaches Importance will doubtless have weight when her influence is to be cast into the balance in selecting a consort for her son.

Golfing Garb.

Do you play golf? If not fear no more to don golfing togs, for they are no longer ugly, but picturesque, and up to date golfing garb for women is quite as suitable for walking as for a morning on the links. Sweaters are being made to fit In trim, graceful

THE NEW GOLF SWEATER.

lines and in accordance with the demands of fashion are supplied with more or less well defined revers and collars. The white or gray sweaters are preferred by conservatives, but some extremely smart women are this season adopting the fashionable red or even choosing combinations of coronation red and blue. The sailor blouse lends Itself admirably to tbe requirements of tbe golfer, for it- is loose and comfortable at the neck. High collars never retain their trimness long upon tbe links. Checks of various fabrics are popular for golfing skirts. This season there is a tendency to the striped effects. Rough and ready hats in a wide variety of styles are shown for golfing wear.

To Remove Grease.

To remove grease from garments dissolve a teaspoonful of salt in four tablespoonfuls of alcohol, shake well and apply with a sponge.
