Rev Mr Kidd of Queen‘s ably ; Boothviille Maple Park Crawford Edge Hill * + <Gâ€" ++ ONTARIO ARC TORONTO _ Boys who roh birds‘ nests should reâ€" member that if it were not for the little birds the army worm would swarm on our fruit trees in myriads and would eat every leaf. In three years there would not be a leaf on a tree. There would be no more apples, cherries, plums, berries oranything of the kind. A few years ago big storms destroyed nearly all the birds‘ nests in June for two or three years consecutively. _ In 1900 the birds became so scarce that the army worm had full swing, and destroyed thousands of trees. The next year, however, the birds became numerous and theyattackâ€" ed the pest, At last the army worm was again destroyed and people had no trouble burning them off their trees, Parents should teach their hoys the uses of birds, and should warn them of the danger resulting from their destrucâ€" tion. _ Onepair of birds and their brood will destroy thousands of insects. and will prevent the breeding of ten thousâ€" and more, _ It is a crime to destroy birds or their nests, There are only four kinds that can be killed under any cir cumstances, â€" Boys should be severely punished when caught in the act.â€"â€"Ex. Itis seldom advisable to harvest more than one crop from a plantation, but If one desires to take a crop the second year the old rows should be narrowed down to about eix inches. the weeds and many of the old plants taken out. and just enough old plants left to start a new stand. Keep the ground well cuitivated to encourage the formation of new runners, the plants which will bear the rext season‘s crop. Then muleh asain in the fall the same as the previous year. Mu‘!ching is of first importance in strawberry culture. As soon as the ground becomes frozen fairly bard in the fall. the plants should be covered with a mnich of strawy manure or marsh bay. This will protect the ground from the alternate freezing and thawing which heaves the plants out of the eotrl, breaking their roots and causing reduced yields, Then about the middle of April, preferâ€" ably on a cloudy day, the mulch sbould be raked off the rows into the paths beâ€" tween, As the fruiting season approachâ€" es, more mulch should be put bevween the rows, to assist in holding tha moi@ture and to keep the saind off the berries and the pickers,. ,zuufi of the former‘s parents, Mr and Mrs J W Vickers, on Sunday last. _ Mrs Adlam otf Darham spent a few |days visiting at Mr and l(ra% Reay‘s. Mr A W Hunt raised his large barn on Thursday last. ‘The captains were Mr T H Lawrence and Mr Wm Scarf the latter winning by a few rafters. _ Mav is the best Month for planting strawberries. As soon as possible after setting, the ground should be cu‘tivated to a depth of about two inches in »rder to loosen up the eoil. Cultivation should be continued at intervals of about ten days during the summer ro that a fine dry earth may be maintained and the woods Leld in check. Runners root much more quickly in loose soil than it that which is uncultivated. Any blossoms which may appear ehon‘!d be pinched out before the fruit scts. Fruiting the first reason weakâ€" ens the plant and reduces the crop for the succeeding year. The first runners shou!d be permitted to grow, as the earlier the runners root, the stronger the plants will be, An average of eight or or ten plants from each one set should give a row sufficiently thick for a good yield of fruit. Late formed rumuners should be cut off becanse they form plants too weak to be of any value, and they also draw nouriehment from the plant» a‘ready formed. 1 _ Mr and Mrs Frank Vickers were the Care of a Strawberry Plantation.
