NEW STRAWBERRIES.
Two Are Immense Croppers and Strong
Growing Plants.
Greater progress has been made the
last three or four years along the
Strawberry line than ever before. The
Sample is about the only variety that
holds its own, but from present indica
tions even that berry will be set one

It will be a mortgage lifter, says an
eastern grower in American Cultivator. j
Golden Gate Is another new berry of :
great promise. This is a fancy berry,
like the Marshall, only It is worth a
dozen of it, being of fine quality and a ;
goo cropper. j
The Abington, sent out two years
ago, has proved about what the orig
inator claimed and Is a safe berry to j
plant.
Another berry, the Dicky, that has
not been put upon the market yet is a
strong, staminate variety, an immense
cropper, very firm, colors well and is
a long season berry. I have no plants
of it on my grounds, but as soon as I
can I shall set largely of it. j
Field Dodder.
Dodder, or love vine. Is a great ene
my of alfalfa. It is a parasitic vine
growing on the stems and taking out
the life and vitality of even the roots.
The vine intwines itself about the al
falfa stems in great clusters and grows
thriftily or small in exact proportion
to the growth of alfalfa. When the
alfalfa is cut, this vine appears in dry,
hairy bunches about the stems. It is
so repugnant to horses and cattle that
It will not be eaten except as a last re
sort before starvation. The best way
to keep free from dodder is to buy
only clean seed. In some cases farm
ers use fanning mills and try to re
clean the seed before sowing. If the
plant gets started in a field, the best
plan to get rid of It Is to scatter straw
over the alfalfa stubble and burn the
entire field. This does not injure the
alfalfa, but kills the dodder and
other noxious weeds. Kimball's Dairy
Farmer.
Hen Manure For Crops.
Hen manure gives good results on
all crops, but probably best on such
plants as make most of their growth
above ground, like cabbage, corn or
grass. Some great results, however,
are reported with hen manure on po
tatoes. We generally use it on garden
crops and strawberries. The most ef
fective use of this manure Is, as we
have often described, to crush it fine
and mix with chemicals, such as muri
ate of potash and acid phosphate.
This makes a fair mixture for many
crops. The hen manure is richer in
nitrogen than in potash and phosphoric
acid, and these chemicals give it a
good "balance." Rural New Yorker.

SACRED HORNS.
The Queer Adornment of Peculiar
Chinese People.
Adjoining the Chinese prefecture
of Chienchang is a deep gully
barred by a river which nc China
man is permitted to pass until he
finds bail for his good conduct in
Lolodom.
The Lolos are a slim, well made,
muscular race, with oval reddish
brown faces, high cheek bones and
pointed chins, from which the beard
has been carefully plucked. They
are far taller than the Chinese and
indeed than any European race, but
their marked peculiarity is the horn.
Every male adult gathers his hair in
a knot over his forehead and then
twists it up in a cotton cloth so
that it resembles the horn of a uni
corn. The horn is considered sacred,
and even if a Lolo settles in Chinese
territory and grows a pigtail he still
preserves his horn. The Lolo
man's principal garment is a wide
sleeveless mantle of red or black
felt tied about the neck and de
scending almost to the heels. The
trousers are of Chinese cotton with ;
felt bandages. No shoes are worn,
but a conical hat of woven bamboo
covered with felt furnishes a head
covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call respec
tively "black bones" and "white
bones," the first being the nobles
and the latter their vassals and re
tainers. There is also a third class
of captive Chinese and their de
scendants, called "watzu," practical
ly slaves, who are tattooed on the
forehead with the mark of their
tribe.
The Lolos never marry except in
their own tribes, captive Chinese
women being given to their bonds
men. The marriage of a "black
bone" is a time of great festivities
and many banquets. The betrothal
is celebrated and ratified by the
present of the husband to the
bride's family of a pig and three
vessels of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride is
richly dressed with many orna
ments. She is expected to weep
profusely, whether she feels so in
clined or not. In the midst of her
tears the eroom's relatives and
friends dash in, seize the bride, the
best man carries her out of doors
on his shoulders, she is clapped on a
horse and hurried off to her new
home. Here she finds horses, cat
tle and sheep, provided by the
groom's family, while her own peo
ple send clothes, ornaments and
corn. Women occupy a high posi
tion among the Lolos, and a woman
chief is not unknown among the
tribes. New York Herald.
A Modest Village Blacksmith.
The little village could not boast
of having many entertainments, and
a concert was an event which was
looked forward to with delight by
the inhabitants. It was at one of

A CASE ; OF ' CONSCIENCE. -
Why an Editor Could Not Bo Judge In
. Literary Contest. -
. The -editor of a magazine was in

anonymous contest?" the editor ask-
twelltv vears exnerience in editorial
work, and during that time I sup
pose the manuscripts of every pop
ular and unpopular author of the
day have come to my desk for at
tention. I have been in such long
correspondence with many of these
authors that I know their handwrit
ings well, and even a glance at my
morning's mail will tell me who my
correspondents are. And do not
6mile I know their typewriters
equally 'well.- I know the various
makes they own, and those who pre
fer elite type to the ordinary size,
and those who use italics and in
verted quotation marks. . I can even
recognize an author's peculiar meth
od of making a caret and his own
manner of punctuation. But a!l
this is nothing to my ability to spot
at once an author's style. Attempts
have often been made to deceive me,
but only on rare occasions have they
succeeded. But you must not think
this so astonishing after all. I have
been tied down to my one line of
" J
work for a lon? time. now, and the
number of really successful writers
; is not so great after all. It would
' be quite remarkable if I had not
learn cu sometmns: about their char-

most all of them would doubtless
submit stories in your contest, and
perhaps the majority of their manu
scripts would be passed up to me by
your readers. If, recognizing any
particular writer's work, I pretend
ed to give an opinion based on sup
posed complete ignorance of that
writer's identity, I should not be
doing the fair thing.

Alligator as Food.
There is reason to believe that
the flesh of a young boiled alligator
is barely distinguishable from veal,
6ays an English traveler. It is prob
ably cleaner and more tender than
much of the meat of the animals
that are usually consumed as food
on the continent or in the east end
of London. I have never desired to
taste the flesh of alligators, cooked
or uncooked. But in India I have

A Pointer For Pigeon Breeders.
Those who grow for the fancy and
the exhibition hall always divide the
males and the females into separate
rooms during the winter months. This
is thought to strengthen them and Im
prove their health and producing qual
ities. However, this is not the best
for squab breeders, as they should be
continually mated and kept together as
long as they are constant one to the
other. Whenever they grow tired, one
of the other, they will drift apart and
select other matings if the opportunity
presents itself.
Soft Roasters.
The soft roaster is becoming quite
an attractive feature with the best
growers. Thousands of these roasters
are grown throughout New England,
fatted, dressed and sent to market
about the same time that the capons
are in demand. Some claim that some
of the best finished Brahma cockerels,
dressed capon fashion, as It is called
that is, leaving the neck feathers and
the feathers around the shanks will
sell for as much as the capons.
Poultry Utilizes Waste.
On the farm poultry can utilize lots
of food that would otherwise be wast
ed, and for that reason poultry raising
on the farm should be more profitable
than elsewhere. The fowls must be
kept in a good average condition al!
the time. Don't let them starve one

Shipping Baby Chicles.
Some people claim that shipping?
young chicks throughout the country
is a cruelty. On the other hand, poul
trymen who have received them a thou
sand miles away from their place of
birth give evidence that they reached
them in good condition.
Oats as Stock Food.
Oats are less digestible than corn,
chiefly on account of the large per
centage of hull which they contain.
They have a much higher percentage
of protein than corn, especially when
considered In relation to digestible mat
ter. They' are the most satisfactory
single grain for feeding horses. They
are not suitable for bogs on account
of the large percentage of crude fiber.
They may possibly form a part of an
economical ration for dairy cows, al
though In general the demand for them
for horse feediag Is so great that the
price Is nearly always out of propor
tion to the amount of digestible matter
