(By LE ROY CADY, Minnesota.) The strawberry is probably the most widely-grown fruit in the world. | There are varieties adapted to almost every climate and condition, from Alagka to Florida. Our cultivated kinds have been developed from the Chillan strawberry and the common wild strawberry. The alpine straw- berry of Europe is the parent of the ever-bearing varieties which are now coming into prominence in some places. They, however, are not as yet of sufficient value to deserve much attention. The strawberry i1s one of the first fruits on the market in the spring, and hence is always welcome. The best time to set a strawberry- bed is the early spring, as soon as ! the land is in good condition and the plants can be obtained. There is more moisture as a rule at that time; and this, combined with ° the cool weather of spring, gives better grow- i Ing conditions than August planting. Plants may also be set in the fall, if extra attention and care are given them. It does not pay to set the plants in dry soil or in a dry season, unless plenty of water for irrigation | purposes is available, Any land that will grow a good crop of corn will grow. strawberries. Sod land should never be used if it i can be prevented, as it is likely to contain grubs and cut-worms, which will eat off the roots.of newly-set plants. A well-drained, friable clay oam is probably best for straw- i berries—a soil that warms up easily nd yet will hold sufficient moisture or the crop, Strawberrie# require a rich soil, hence it is well to thoroughly ma- nure the land that is to be used for the crop in the fall, and plow under from four to six inches deep. In the spring disk, drag and smooth thor- oughly. This gives a loose soil in which to set the plants, and a firm sub-soil to hold the moisture, and yet open enough to let the roots through. A northern slope is to be preferred, as the plants do not start so early in the spring. They thus escape the early frosts and they are not so like- ly to be dried out by the hot winds at fruiting time. Many growers, how- ever, obtain good results on a south- ern slope, in spite of the disadvant- ages. Some growerg prefer to fruit the bed only one season; in this case, as soon as it is through fruiting, the bed is plowed up and some late crop, such as turnips or fedder corn, plant- od on the land. If it is desired to An Excellent Specimen, keep the bed fruiting more than one year, a plan like the following is often used: As soon as the bed is through fruiting, the plants are mowed with a horse mower or by hand, close to the ground, and then the bed is raked clean and the trash burned; or else, if it is very dry, the bed may be burned over without raking. If this is attempted, however, the leaves and straw must be very dry, so they will otherwise injury will be done the plants. When the trash is disposed of, plow a furrow on each side of the row, leaving about SPRAYING CALENDAR FOR APPLES cultivate the soil back. Then with a sharp hoe cut out all the weak aud diseased plants left, leaving the plants about six inches apart. These will soon send out runners and form a new bed by fall. In this way much dis. eased follage and some insects are gotten rid of. A good horse culti- vator can often be used instead of a plow. The use to which the fruit is to be put will influence the picking. If for home or local use the fruit may. be picked somewhat riper than if it is shipped a long distance. No maiter where it is marketed, care must be used in picking to keep the patch picked clean every day. Do not pick when the fruit or vines are wet, as this will cause the fruit to be soft and to spoil in tramsit. | Many growers find it to be an advan- one foot of row standing.

Neatness of package, as well as quality of fruit, is a great factor in marketing. PROFIT MADE IN CULTURE OF FISH| Care Need Not Interfere With Other Work on Farm= Tanks Must Have | Clean Gravel. To make a success in fish culture, the tanks 'must be provided with clean gravel and the bottoms raked once a week. - If the tanks are disturbed by fish. hawks, bull frogs, mink or other pests, place strips of board across the tank and cover with wire netting that can be removed when cleaning.

For the next six weeks skim- med milk curd may be fed three times a day; after that sheep and pigs’ live er, poultry waste cut fine, or a com- mercial food made in the form of a meal containing fish and grain, at a low cost.
