STRAWBERRIES OF WORTH.
Varieties Tested nn<5 Found Vnlna-
l>le at the Michigan Station.
The Michigan station has devoted
much attention to the testing of straw
berries, new and old, through a num
ber of seasons. In strawberry notes
for 1901 it reports that several varie
ties which have stood at the head of
the list for a number of years still
maintain their position. Excelsior,
other, probably a greater prevalence
tlie smut yeast spores in later summer,
later growing parts—for example, tas
sels, brace roots, ears and sucker
shoots—are perhaps more often attack
ed by the smut.
The smut spores
may be sentfer-
ed in manure if
smutted fodder
is used, and it
seems well prov-
ed that manured
land yields more
smutted corn
than un manur
ed. The same
may be true of
clover sod as
compared with
corn stubbie.
The reason
; would exist iu the decayed vegetable
! matter, wherein the secondary yeast
spores of the smut may grow and then
ma*v be carried to the corn which be
comes thus affected. Treatment of
seed corn does not apparently reduce
the amount of smut. Cutting and
burning the smut boils before they
have burst open would be useful. It is
worth while to fight smut by all avail
able means. So advises the Ohio sta
tion.
CORN SMUT.
GREENVILLE.
GLEN MARY.
GANDY.
MARSHALL.
Haverlaud, Warfield, Clyde, Bubach
aud Brandywine can be relied upon to
give good crops under fairly favorable
conditions, although the best results
cannot be secured with tiro last three
varieties except in rich, moist soils.
Glen Mary, William Belt, Marshall and
Nick Olimer also are quite satisfactory
under high culture.
Sample in plant aud fruit compares
well with any other variety. Morgan,
Ponderosa, Ridgeway and Ruby have
also been quite satisfactory.
Of the newer sorts that fruited in
1900 H. and II., Echo, Emma. Gamage,
Gladstone, Stouffer, Johnson Early and
Wool! are most promising.
Particularizing in regard to some of
the varieties, the station says:
Greenville.—Plants good in vigor of
growth and productiveness. Berries
are large in size, but not of sufficient
firmness. In other points is very good.
Gandy.—Vines are fairly vigorous
and hardy. Fruit is large, of high
quality and firmness. Season late.
Only moderately productive, but the
variety holds out well.
Glen Mary.—Plants of good growth
and healthy. Fruit is borne in abun
dance, is of large size, of good quality
and firmness. One of the best market
varieties under high culture.
Marshall.—This variety is a strong
grower and quite prolific. Berries large, i
dark red and uniform. Quality and j
texture are very good. Except on strong |
soil the foliage is slightly subject to i
blight. This is one of the best large I
berries upon moist, rich soils.

Tlie Dairy Quickstep.
Time is an element of great impor
tance in dairy work. Milk, cream aud
butter are of exceeding perishable na
tures, and, like all quick decaying ar
ticles of food, they are hotbeds for
breeding all kinds of destructive bac
teria. The only, way to fight this ene
my is by celerity of action, flurry
tho milk from tlie cow and out of tin?
stable. Hurry the cream from the
milk and spare as little time as possi
ble in getting the cream into the churn
and the butter to the customer. To
carry out this idea clean the stable,
clean the cow, milk into covered pails,
use a separator, use a cream starter,
use a swing churn and start the butter
to the customer the night of the day it
is made.
This, says L. S. Hardin in Home and
Farm, is a strict business principle aud
should be pushed for ail it is worth,
and that means large profits for the
trouble taken, for it may lie safely
stated that you will lose 2 to 3 cents a
pouud on your butter for every day
you linger past tlie 3(1 hours necessary
to carry out the plan outlined above.
His I’rnyer.
The little sou cf ;::i Episcopal clergy
man of Los Angeles was visiting with
his mother a Canadian city, where the
two attended services at a certain
church. It is the custom in that church
for the clergyman aud congregation to
bow in silent prayer for a minute or
two just before the sermon begins. It
was a new proceeding to the child, for
he was not accustomed to seeing this
done in his father's church, but t lie
little chap bravely and reverently did
his part.
After the service was over the clergy
man, one of the old evangelical school,
who had noticed the reverence and ap
parent devotion of the child, spoke to
him and commended his reverence with
an affectionate pat on the head. “It
was very pleasing,” he remarked to a
group of bystanders, “to see this little
fellow so deeply engaged in earnest
prayer just before I began my sermon.
What prayer did you offer to the throue
of grace, my little boy?”
All uucouscious of the effect it pro-
! duced, the little fellow candidly and
| instantly replied: “I said: ‘Now I lay
i me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my
' soul to keep.’ San Fraucisco Argo-
i uaut.
the best results as regards sugar con
tent, while striped first year stubble
has given the largest yield in tonnage.
First year stubble leads in tonnage,
followed by second year stubble.
It is concluded that good stubble
cane is fully as good as, if not the su
perior of, plant cane for seed.
One-sixth of the entire crop of cane
in the state is used for planting, ac
cording to estimates made.
Chemical analyses of cane grown
continuously from tops, middles and
butts show but little difference as re
gards the value of the different por
tions of the cane.
In trials to determine the influence of
planting large, medium and small canes,
selected continuously from plantings of
large, medium and small canes respec
tively, the results show diminished
yields from using small, inferior stocks,
and it is believed to be most profitable
to plant large and vigorous cane for
seed.
The roots and stubble of cane are
usually left in tlie soil, but it is a com
mon practice in Louisiana to burn the
tops and leaves. A ton of purple cane
as grown in Louisiana, with its accom
panying trash, burned in the field will
thus remove 2.98 pounds of nitrogen.
1.04 pounds cf phosphoric acid, 1.22
pounds of potash and .52 pounds of
lime. A ton of striped cane under sim
ilar conditions will remove 2.3S pounds
of nitrogen, 1.30 pounds of pliospko'ric
acid, 2.34 pounds of potash and .58
pounds of lime.
In fertilizing experiments nitrogen
not to exceed 48 pounds per acre has
been found profitable when it was used
in combination with phosphoric acid
and potash. Sulphate of ammonia was
found to be best form of nitrogen, with
cottonseed meal a close second, fol
lowed by fish scrap, nitrate of soda
and tankage, in the order named. The
increased cost of sulphate of ammonia
in tlie local market militates against
its use as compared with the cheaper
forms.
THE COS LETTUCES.
Crisp, Cool and Refreshing During
the Summer Months.
The Cos or “celery” varieties of let
tuce resist warm weather well and are
highly esteemed for their crisp, brittle
leaves and cool, refreshing flavor dur
ing tlie hot summer mouths.
The Paris White Cos is grown all
over the world and is generally con
ceded to be the finest of all the Cos
sorts.
The surface of the outer leaves is a
little raised between tlie larger nerves,
PARIS WHITE COS LETTUCE.
[Plant twelve indies across.]
the surface of the iuuer leaves consid
erably folded. The heads are 8 to 12
inches high, rounded at the ends, firm
and weigh from 12 to 24 ounces each.
In quality this variety is hardly sur
passed by any kind of lettuce. It is
customary to tie tlie leaves together
when the heads are forming, although
when tlie plants are well grown this is
not always necessary.
Other varieties closely resembling the
above and which appear to be hardly
distinct from it are the Trianon Cos
and the Faris Self Folding Cos. The
White Heart and Dwarf White Heart,
if distinct varieties, differ but little
from the Paris White Cos and are in
ferior to it.
The Paris Green Cos is a little deeper
green than the Paris White and the
plant not quite so large, but matures a
few days earlier.
Balloon Cos has leafy plants and the
heads not very firm even when tied.
Ground Cos is a dwarf variety, inter
mediate between Paris White and As
paragus Cos.
Asparagus Cos has little value as a
garden esculent, although some people
like the fleshy midribs, which are
tender, juicy aud peculiarly pleasiug
to the taste if gathered just before tlie
blossom stalks show iu the center of
the plants.
Smat on Corn.
Corn smut may be propagated by
• smutty seed, although much more like
ly to be carried by the transportation
of the yeast spores of this smut fungus,
which may alight upon any young
growing part aud produce smut infec
tion. From this reason and from an-

Birds' Eks'3 Superstitions.
The okl. wrinkled, dusky aunties of
the south tell children: “Do not eat tiie
bluebirds’ eggs. They make you love
to wander.” They believe that the pale
blue eggs of that beautiful creature,
“that violet of the air,” that bird with
“sky tinge on his back, earth tinge on
his breast,” will make the greedy nest
robber restless as long as lie lives. No
place, however enticing, can hold tlie
being who has once tasted a bluebird’s
egg-
He who eats a mocking bird’s egg
will be compelled to “tell all lie knows.”
The one who robs a kilidee’s nest and
eats its eggs will surely break an arm.
He who eats a dove’s egg will be fol
lowed by bad luck, while the egg cf any
bird of yellow plumage will be sure to
cause a fever, and he who eats an owl’s
egg will be always shrieking. The eat
er of a crow’s egg will always, as old
aunties say, “be gwine on foolish like a
crow does go on, ‘Ha, ha, ha!’ But a
partridge’s egg,” they declare, “du des
make you thrive an’ grow fas’. Dey
is de oulies’ sort er birds’ eggs dat you
kin eat widout findin’ ’em danger-
some.”

Sugar Cane.
Professor Blum of the Louisiana ex

analyses from which the conclusion is
drawn that sugar cane grown on the
yellow sandy pine lands of Georgia and
North Carolina is fully the equal iu

Agricultural Notes.
Kansas wheat growers are to have
seed of the hard, red, Russian or Tur
key wheat direct from the Crimea. It
Is imported through the State Millers’
and State Grain Dealers’ associations
and will be distributed after the mid
dle of July.
Sugar beets should not be permitted
to dry out after being dug, as there is
always a loss of sugar.
Hessian fly, the bane of wheat grow
ers in the older states, appears to be
going westward. Secretary Coburn of
Kansas is credited with the advice to
burn the wheat stubble as soon as the
wheat is removed from the field.
following amusing account of the or
igin of the word “cockney:” “A cock
ney, or eockny, applied only to one born
within the sound of the Bow bells—
that Is, within the city of London—
whic-he terme came first out of the fol
lowing tale:
“A citizen’s sonne, riding with his fa
ther cut of London into the country,
and being a novice and merely ignorant
of how corne and catel do increase,
asked when he heard a horse neigh
what the horse dide. His father an
swered, ‘The horse dothe neigh.’ Rid
ing further, he heard a cock crow and
said, ‘Dothe the cock neigh too?’ And
therefore cockney, or cockneigh.'by in
version thus: Iacoctus,—i. e„ raw or
unripe in countrey-mens affaires.”
