How to manage the strawberry bed after fruiting is somewhat of a per- .plexing question for growers as well 3as for the amateur. In an experience '> of twenty-five years I have tried almost 'every way that is practiced by grow- '- ers, and I am convinced from my own practical use that the best way for me 'is to plant a new bed every year, says a New York grower, who gives the ffollowing account of his methods in ~Rural New Yorker: After the first bearing year, as soon '- as we are through picking, I begin to take care of the beds by pulling all weeds and grass before they make any seed. I let these lie on the bed in As soon as the ground is frozen I cover ‘the entire bed with horse manure to a «'depth of two or three inches. This will perhaps smother some of the plants, :‘but there will be plenty of them left I. for the next year’s fruiting, and those "that come through in the spring will .grow with as much vigor as a. newly rset plant. From a bed of one 'acre ’1 treated as above described I picked imiore berries the past season than from ran acre planted a year ago. The ber- i'ries, however, were not quite as large. After I finish picking a second crop I and plant to celery. The land will then be in a high state of fertility, for the strawberry takes but little from the soil. Seeding to Clover. If a second crop is not wanted the ground should :be sowed with crimson clover about the lst of August. This should be plowed under the following spring, when the ground will be in excellent condition for planting early This method of growing "strawberries gives me three beds to look after, two bearing beds, one and two years old, and a newly .mlanted one every spring, and I am of the opinion that there is less labor and I expense in planting a bed every year .year after year.

Several Things the Philadelphia Drum- mer Didn’t Know. “Most of us think we know the law pretty Well,” said the Philadelphia drummer, “but I had a little experi‘ ence to show me that there are sev- eral things in the statute books that I don’t know. I was in a New Eng- land town and dropped into a barber shop to get shaved. There was only one barber, and he didn’t look as if he knew putty. He turned out to be a pretty good shaver, however, and as I had had a drink just before entering the shop I fell asleep in the chair. I slept for half an hour, and when I awoke he was through with me. The first thing I missed on getting out of bed I would advise to narrow down ‘the rows to six or eight inches in width. Where the horse and plow can- not be used it can be ‘easily accom- plished with the spade. Broadcast some "well rotted stable manure or fertilizer Hon the ground and rake it level. New ‘runners will soon occupy the whole tenace, thus renewing the plantation. lGuard against weeds and grass to the "end of the season. Mulch with horse Itmanure when the ground freezes. In the spring, when the young plants ‘rstart growing, dig under the old row nor plants that have been used for re- ‘mewing the bed, for these will be pret- "-ty well exhausted. This narrow space :when dug under serves as a path be- ?«tween the renewed rows. ianulching or manure lies too heavily ion the plants this should be raked off sand left in the paths. This will keep the ground moist and will be useful in Ithe season of fruiting. Young Things Together. It is natural for some boys to make ‘pets of animals on the farm. Calves, "colts and lambs crowd around such Yboys, and it is generally noticed that ’>such animals are thrifty. It also is moticeable that the boys having such 'iinfluence over farm animals are the :- ! w . ' «~"‘\‘\‘WW ~-,._ «w. _ ‘.~ "'1". ,I "’ .

Almost any boy can 1be taught to make close acquaintances 'with young animals on the farm, and such instructions are very valuable to him. ' A great deal depends on the parents. If the “old man” yells around ' the barnyard and keeps a club or two {handy to whack the animals with when [they get in his way the boy is very apt to imitate his father’s example. Such men generally complain that farming doesn’t pay. The result is that the boy goes off to town to hunt up something that will payâ€"Farm, Field and Fire- side. Good. Digestion Makes Eggs. The foundation of great egg produc- ‘ -Ition is great digestive capacity, and if that is lacking iced and care have small effect on the result, as any one may observe who will note the differ- ence in yield of his individual hens. Now, this large (intestive capacityâ€"- â€"invariably followed by liberal egg pro« ductionâ€"â€"is attained only by skillful breeding and when subject to the man- agement of the average keeper of hens disappears in a‘few generations. ' For example, take the ordinary farm flock. During the fall and winter the ‘few eggs secured are laid by. a small number of comparatively good hens. Early in spring those good layers be- come broody and are promptly set on eggs from the poor layers, just starting an. The process is repeated the next year and so continues until the owuer Rogues that the “bigch’js no good. Where the ‘ my watch, next my overcoat, next and lastly my scarfpin. I went for that barber for all I was worth, but he denied robbing me, and his face wore a smile. Then I got a gait on me and went to a lawyer’s oflice. “ ‘Can you prove by a credible wit- ness that you had $90 in cash when you entered the barber shop?’ he asked. “I couldn’t. “ ‘Can you prove that your watch was taken in the shop instead of be- ing lost on the street?’ "I couldn’t. i v “‘Are you sure that you had your . pin on as you opened the door to enter?’ “I wasn’t. “ ‘As to your overcoat,’ continued the lawyer, ‘have you a' bill of sale of it, or was any one with you when you bought it? In other words, can you swear to the ownership in law of any particular overcoat?’ “I couldn’t. . “ ‘Then I can do nothing for you,’ he said, and I went to a second lawyer to be told the same thing. I had left the shop without paying for my shave, and I was even told that the harbor? could arrest me for beating him out of 15 cents and have me fined $5.

P‘â€"â€".| . . .. ..-.._. Comes Natural to Them. A western farmer writes in to one of. the eastern papers to inquire if the ediâ€" - tor knows of any way to keep boys from stealing watermelons. This has been a subject that has en- gaged the attention of many market gardeners from the time of Adam down; but, after looking over the field, most of them have. given up the job as hopeless. The combination of a barb- ed wire fence, a bulldog and a shotgun ! may do some good, but even that is not boy proof. About the, only sure way is to chain all of the boys in the neighborhood with inch log chains and then throw ' them down a cellar and sit on the lid. ' Even that is not warranted to work ev ery time, for a new boy may come visiting in the neighborhood after the committee has made up the collection. About the only sure way would be for Burbank to graft a phonograph on a watermelon, and then it could call for help when danger came on two bare feet. By having the hired man sleep in the barn to respond to the call most of the fruit should be saved until the time came to put it on the market.

Minden Echo zâ€"A x'r‘cry serious acci- dent occurred at Konnaway, Haliburton county, when Mr. John Bowen, Jr., of that place was very badly cut on a trim- ming saw in Mr. John Burgess’ mill. In some manner he encountered a plank which pushed him on the saw twice and in this manner he received two cuts, one in his left side which was thirteen inches long, and one on his hip, which not being so long is much deeper.

Mr. J. l). Flavclle was spokesman, and stated that the law stipulated that it was necessary to secure twenty-five per cent of the ratepayers on the petition before council could submit such a by- law. It was necessary therefore in Lindsay to secure 512 namcs, but the league had 6414- duly qualified ratepayers on their petition. The Council was re- qucstcd to ask the Clerk to go carefully over the list in order to verify the names and also to instruct the town solicitor to drafta by-law and have it thoroughly gone ovur so that no tech- nicality might occur. On motion of Reeve G. A. Jordan and Deputy-Reeve 'McLoan the petition was received and referred to the Clerk.
