Newman, chief of the horticultural division at Clemson col lege, who .gives the following-sugges tions about these two, plants that tvlll help make the berrleslbear better to Is season. Fertilize and cultivate your straw berry bed and then mnlch with heavy litter of pome kind. The litter will conserve the moisture and prevent the berries from becoming soiled. By con serving the moisture It will prolong the bearing period from a week to tan days. Set out a new strawberry bad this spring. Set the plants lp rows three feet and two feet apart In the row, and keep them to single crowns. This is decidedly the best method of growing strawberries for home use. • Set out blackcap raspberries and red raspberries on the north side of a fence or bulging, where tha ground Is rich. Raspberries do very well pn a northern exposure, or where they are partly protected' from tha sun, while they frequently fall on southern ek -4 posures, especially If the soil Is poor.

Lead arsenate at the rate of four pounds of powder In 100 gallons Of water, applied about the tlpie of the pre-plnk stage, was also of valoe In protecting the fruit and the foliage. No noticeable advantage was obtained by increasing tha amount of lead arsenate.

N. a LITTLE CHICKS NEED CAREFUL ATTENTION (Prepared by the United MtlH MMttßHi •( Agriculture.) ■ The artificial method of brooding chickens consists in supplying, arti ficially, heat aa nearly as pMalble like tnat furnished by the hen under nat ural conditions. The temperature of a hen is about 106 degrees F„ but aa hena seldom alt cloaely on chickens, the latter do not receive thla degree of heat Hens adapt their methods of brooding to conditions, aueh as out- Hide temperature, alee of the chlckena, and wet weather, and the operator of an artificial brooder must meet theae conditions aa nearly aa he can. Boma of the most Important faulta In the management of brooders are over crowding and lack of ventilation and the failure of chickens to get- suffi cient exercise. The brooder should supply the proper temperature, be readily adapted to meet the changes in weather conditions, be easy to clean, and be well ventilated. • Chickens are uaually left In Ae In cubator from 24 to 36 hours after hatching, without feeding, before, they are removed to the brooder, which should have been In operation for three or four days at the proper tem perature for receiving chickens. A beginner, says the United States De partment of Agriculture, ahould try this brooding system carefully befon* he uses It. After being placed in the brooder the chlckena, can be given feed and water. Subsequent loas In chickens Is frequently due to chilling received while taking them from the Incubator to the brooder; In cool or cold weather they should be moved in a covered baaket or other recep tacle. Brooder houses should have from" % to 2 Inches of sand, drjr dirt, eat clover, or chaff spread over the floor and in the brooder pen. The hovers should be cleaned frequently, as cleaa liness la essential la raising chickens successfully. When chickens ara.first put lnte the brooder they should be confined under or around the hover by placing a board or wire frame a few Inches out side. The fence or guard should be moved farther and farther away from the hover and discarded entirely when the chickens are three or four days old or when they have learned to re turn to the source of the heat Young chickens shoald be closely watched to see that they do not huddle or get chilled. They should be allowed to run on the ground whenever tha weather Is favorable, as they do much better than when kept continuously on cement or board floors. Practical* Suggestions for Getting Glean Eggs The Increasing number of graded eggs that are shipped makes It nec essary that every practicable means be employed to keep eggs clean. The greatest help, outside of clean straw on the floor and In the nests, Is a screen shutting the hens off the roosts during the day. A screen made of poultry netting Is lowered in the morning and remains down until time for the hens to go to roost. Clsin- Ing the dropping boards dally will not help so much as the use of one of these screen*. An added advantage Is the tact ■that a hen on the floor Is encouraged to activity. The hens that spend any great portion of their time on the roosts are fit subjects for colds Mid rotip. The practice ot pladjig 'parches a ■ foot or so above the *»i"pp>ng boards leada to soiled fast, soiled perches and soiled eggs. The. hens, lastiad of walking on the perches, walk, on the x dropping boards and their laet he come badly soiled. ' , Gathering eggs twice dally Is also a help In producing cleaner eggs. By all means supply a plentiful nflnbsr of nests. Eggs laid on the floor are In variably soiled, a nest may have eight or ten clean eggs In it and the entire number may be soiled by the hen laying the next egg. ' Poultry Notes Egg-eating hens can be cared with a dose of Iron—a hatchet • • • The pullets must mature by Novem ber so they will begin te lay whea eggs are high la price. • • • The Rhode Bads as a breed are usually conMderod vigorous and thrifty as any other breed. • • • If the chicks are Indlasd te All their crops with buttermilk Instead of with mash, give them something te eat be fore the buttermilk is left before them. •e • " The dirt floor In laying house Is a carrier of dlseaae, unleaa flve or six Inches of the soil are removed and re placed each year.

Fruit trees injured by "rabbits or mice during the winter can be saved without undbe expense by bridge grafting. Bridge grafting is a simple process but requires skill in the han dling at tbe tools. A bridge graft is made by nalng scions to connect the two portions of the bark of a stock or limb which hare been separated by an Injury such as girdling by animals or other means. In other words, the in jured area is "bridged" by scions, the ends of which unite with the unlnjure4 parts above and below the wound in such manner that a connection be tween the tissues Is established. This kind of tree repair Is described In a very thorough and understandable manner in a new bulletin Just Issued by the United States -Department of Agriculture, as Farmers' Bulletin 1888, Bridge Graiftlng. The subject matter Is Illustrated with a large number of photographs of actual grafts which make the method readily understood by the amateur. Bridge grafting may be need, on al most any kind of frtilt tree that ad mit* of being readily propagated by grafting. In practice there ia occa sion to resort to It mach more fre quently with the apple than with any other fruit, but pear trees are often treated, at least In some sections. No reason is - apparent why the method should not be successful on plums and cherries. Peaches graft less readily than the other trees mentioned, and there may be some question as to the usefulness of the method In the case of this fruit. Bridge grafting Is sel dom used on shade or ornamental trees, but with some kinds, It would probably prove successful In overcom ing certain typeai of Injuries. Mechanical Injuries which may be remedied by bridge grafting are usual ly inflicted in one of three ways. By animals that feed upon the bark and tender wood, by Insects that burrow through the growing layer of bark and tender or by implements used in the tillage of the orchard, usually the result of the carelessness of workmen. The animals liable to do the most dam age by girdling ere the common mead ow mouse, pine mouse, pocket gopher, and rabbit Injuries caused by dis eases such as "body Might," sunscald, etc., which girdle the trees may be successfully treated by this, method of grafting a« well. Bridge grafting Is done in the esriy spring about the ttme the trees are starting into growth, the same as in cleft grafting for the purpose of top working. It does not matter if the trees to be bridge grafted have started slightly, but it is of great Importance that the scions be perfectly dormant The chances of success arg materially decreased if the buds on the scions have started appreciably. It is often necessary to secure the scions some tltne in advance of the time they are to be used In order to have them In a dbrmant condition when needed, stor ing them meanwhile where they will not dry out and where It is cool enough to keep them dormant Copies of this bulletin may be se cured, as long ss the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. G. Often Happens Teeth of % Young Pigs Are Harmful Frequently when sows carry their pigs beyond the usual period ofgee tattoo. It will be found that the pigs' teeth have an shaormal growth, and often the teeth are discolored. This has led to the common saying that "pigs bom with Mack teeth never de well." These teeth are often leag and sharp and prick the tender udder of the dam when the youngsters are sucking. This causes the mother great pain, and usually revolts In the dam refastng te allow the pigs to suck. It alas causes sore udders, which sooa become infected, this In torn causing severe trouble and often results in spoiled nddera. The hog breeder should watch the yowg litter tor symptoms of pigs with such teeth. Immediate steps should be taken to remote the trouble ss soon as It Is detected.

The buying of baby chicks la a far more Important problem than most purchasers realize. - Baby chicks con stitute tbe foundation stock of the future layers and breeders and, there fore, too much care cannot be exer cised In deciding upon tbe hatchery from which to buy. Officials of the United States De partment of -Agriculture have ob served that practical poultry raisers and farmers are relying upon the, hatcheries more and more each suc ceeding year as a aource of supply, for their new crop of chicks. In other words, each year sees fewer and fewer chicks batched under hens and the mammoth hatcheries are taking the place, to a certain extent, of the small er Incubators which are commonly op erated on the farms. It is because of the fact that farmers are buying baby chicks from the commercial hatcheries In such large numbers that the officials of the department feel the necessity of urging them to exercise great care In deciding upon where to buy this year's supply of chicks. At the same time It should be point ed out that many farmers, perhaps the majority, will still find It more eco nomical to do their own hatching. This Is especially the case where the farm flock Is of good standard quality and has been bred for egg production. A farmer hatching his own chicks knows the quality of chicks he can expect. The commercial hatchery business has developed to a very remarkable ex tent in hie United States In the lrfbt two years. Some of the hatchery men have estimated that practically double the number of baby chicks will be hatched In mammoth hatcheries this year compared with last. There Is a great increase In the s number of hatcheries, each varying in capacity from a few thousand to several hun dred thousand chicks. The question of Importance to a pur chaser of baby chicks issthe source of supply of eggs for the hatcheries. Many of the hatcheries have their own busi ness- well- organised, and are able to guarantee the quality of the chicks. Some of the hatcheries, however, are not so particular where they purchase the eggs they use and are not able to guarantee high-quality chicks. Purchasers of baby chicks would be well advised, officials of the depart ment say, to make sure of purchasing frqpj a reliable hatchery. Only pere bred chicks should be bought and In addition to this ,the purchaser should Insist upon a satisfactory statement from the hatchery man as to the qual ity of eggs used. Were the eggs from a standard-bred flock with trap-nest records and was the flock in good breeding condition? Purchase baby chicks with great care. It Is better to pay a few cents more for good quality chicks that can be guaranteed. High Value of Milk for Increasing Yield of Eggs Milk fed to Ujine hens brings bet ter returns than when fed to hogs, according te Purdue university.- Re turns at that station show that the In crease in en production gives a re turn of $1.82 to $5 per hundred pound* of milk fed to hens. Feeding of protein to hens will nasally in crease the egg production of a ben about 100 eggs per year as compaoed to hens that do not receive a protein supplement. Milk cannot be compared with other forms of animal protein such aa meat scraps and tankage wholly on the protein basis, since its palatabll- Ity, ease of digestibility, and general availability on the farm mast be given consideration. For thicks, milk la almost a neces sity since most people can raise chicks easier and better and with less mortality when given aa a liquid diet.
