just before the oats begin to turn

Reader: -..f wish to plant an acre in
strawberries in the spring. Can you
give me advice regarding cultivation
as this work is new to me. Soil is
good clay loam.
Answer:—In preparing a straw-
berry patch next spring, tha ground
should be worked as•early as irassible,
and the plants set in rows three to
four feet a.part, and from One to two
feet 'apart in the rows. Successful
strawberry growers apply from 300 to
600 lbs. of fertilizer to the acre, in
preparing a suitable bed for the
strawberry plants. This can be sown
broadoetat over the ground and work
ed in by carefully harrowing or rak-
ing them:Cued: Fertilizer, on a fairly.
rich clay loam soil, should analyze
about 2 to 3' per cent. ammoniae,gnd
8 to 12 per cent 'available phosphorie"
acid, and possibly/1 per' cent. of pot-
ash. During the first season* the
blossoming stalk should be pinched off
and the runners phold b trained
along the row, not spreading more
than a foot wide on either side.- Dur. the fire: season the strawberries
should be frequently worked, rather
deep at first, but shallower as the sea-
son advances, rarely, exceeding a
depth of Zea inches. After the ground
has frozen it is good practice to cover
the plants with straw or other mulch

I am constantly on the lookout for

main, will spoil the batch by poison-
ing "Araks that.otlierwise might have
been strong and healthy. A dead ehick
in the dell will have the same effect
on the good eggs in the incubator that
a decayed apple would have in .the
midst of good ones. They throw off
a poisonous gas which is responsible
for many chicks being dead in the
shell at hatching time. This also
causes bowel trouble, so common with
incubator chicks, for which the in-
cubator is not to blame.
I fifl every vacancy made by testing

machine just to draw from.
At hatching tin, I take the chicks
out every hour or so, covering them
lightly, but never allowing them to
get hot enough -to sweat, which is al-
ways fatal. I am very ,careful about
letting cold air into the incubator, as
it chills the unhatclmd chicks.

On Winter Nights.
Don't close your window top nor
bottom at night because you are cold,
but learn to keep warm with it open.
First arrange year room so -that you
do not' sleep in a direct draught, but
if that is impossible, a simple device
may be used,, Cut a heavy piece of
cotton six inches longer than the
width of the window frame and eigh-
teen inches wide. Tack it along its
lower edge to the window sill and
hook the upper revers to the window
frame. The window may then be
opened wide,, but the current of air
will- be directed upwards. In the
day time, the shield may be unhooked
and dropped.
Equally important is the bed. A
.thick mattress and pad should be suf-
ficient under the sleeper, but if the
tnattress is thin, place heavy wrap-
ping paper under it. Flannelette
sheets may be used in preference to
cotton. The- lighter the top cover
the hatter. If down or lamb's wool
are too expensive, a quilt made of two
layers of flannelette with an interlin-
ing of newspapers will prove an ex-
cellent covering over the blankets.
For the outdoor sleeper a Kranclyke
bed or a sleeping bag is 'necessary.
The Klondyke bed is made by tucking
the blanket's urideethe mattress -pad
at foot and sides, and 'Wending the
Whole securely by tucking the top
covering twelve inches under the mat-
tressmt foot and sides. For stormy
weather a horse blanket -or quilt with
a canvas cover makes an excellent
protectiore, Sleeping bags -may be
bought at any department store, but a
satisfactory one may be made at
home from a large quilt or blanket, or
from. a quilt made from flannelette
with newspaper interlining. . The bed'
should be heated by bat water bags 1
or hot water bottles before entering
it, and the covering , must not be so
tight that the feet are uncomfortable.

Less Grain For Live' Stock,
It is time to do away With extrava-
gance in feeding -grain to stock. The
fact that grain is commanding epee -
mous prices is sufficient reason why
its use should be limited. Profitable
production of meat and economical
wintering o± breeding animals with-
out the necessity of a large amotipt
of grain in the ration, is an added
reason why its use should be curtailed.
In the dairy barn, roots, or forage
crops such as alfalfa, Olover, soy-
beans and cow -peas, may partly take
the place of grain. The best feed to
use as a partial substitute for geainvis...
silage, For all practical purposes, a'
balanced ration for an average cow
giving fifteen to eighteen pounds of
milk is about fourteen 'pounds -of ale
falfa hay and thirty-five pounds of
corn silage. No grain ie necessary
for that production. A pound of cot-
tonseed -meal fed on the silage -will
furnish the necessary protein. .A.
cow producing More than eighteen
pounds of milk Will need grain, the
amount depending on the quantity of
milk.
In the feed lots the most eeonomical
gains on steers and lambs are sectired
when silage and alfalfa or clover hay
are used largely in the•ration. Swine
being- fitted for market can not con-
sume any large amount of roughage,
but brood sows relish alfalfa hay, and
its use insures strong, healthy litters.
Fillies and weaning colts Utilize
alfalfa hay advantageously, while -
mares in foal may be wintered on that
ration alone. Breeding ewes that en-
ter the winter in good shape can be
carried until lambing time without
grain, provided they have a good sup-
ply of welt -cured alfalfa or clover hay
and some silage for succulence. It
is imperativa to feed neither moldy
silage, nor silage made from corn eut
too green.

CACTUS CANDY.
A Plan to Manufacture Sweets Front
Spineless Cactus, —ore
Louisitunt sugar cane planters halite --
evolved a plan for manufacturing
candy from the spineless cactus, In
the proceres, the peel of the plant is
removed, dipped into hot molasses and
coated with granulated or powdered
sugar. The result is a confection et
rich and delie,ious flavor..
So successful have been the experi-
ments with the new sweet that cane
planters are now growing cactus
which formerly was utilized, when
used at all, for cattle fodder. Planters e
can in this way furnish plenty of raw
material for the new product.
Another important result in the
making -of what some enterprising ad-
vertiser may call "kaktus-kandy" is
that sugar mills which have been idle
for. nine months in the year can now
use part of their equipment in the
candy manufacturing industry.
