The berry that is producing the greatest yield 10 Hit bush, is the Cumberland btnekcup raspberry.

Let's "finger up" and get more life and progressiveuess about us. All men, whether enuaced in business or aot. should ioin the club and attend the meetings. t Theia sup port, ideas and interest' are needed and desired. Aj saloon under the state law that governs such matters, operates and pells its wares in Dend wholly under the supervision aud control of the city council. That "body has the power to issue or refuse licenses at its discretion or to revoke them .whent, it deems the welfare of the commuuity demands it. , Hence the action the council took within the past week in revoking the license of A. B. Estebcnet was wholly within its legal right. No one de nies that. The action is commend .ablesand shoulJ receive the hearty approval of all citizens who desire to see the law enforced and wlfo wish our city to be kept as free from vice and. degenerating influ ences as possible. It is claimed that Mr. Estebenet's bar-keeper was caught in the cct of selling liquor to minors, a plain violation of the law and an act that should be most bitterly condemued. Mr. Estebenet 'denies the truthfulness of these complaints aud says that at no tim has liquor been sold to minors; that it was sold to adults who gave it to the boys and assumed the responsi J-Mily. That perhaps may not be Lreu.:r. the letter of the law but it certaiuly ia the spint. Wo do not .vaiit our boys to get liquor under any circumstances. Furthermore, reliable men -state positively ihat they have . seen liquor cold to minors over the Esle sbenet bar. The law and all good citizens will not countenance such actions. If Mr. Estebenet desires to ljeepfree from trouble in the rfutnre (in case he is again granted a license; he will see that dinors are not allowed to procure liquor in any manneriu his place of business. FINE YIELD OF BERRIES. ' V' Bljr Crop of Dlack and Red Ratyber . rifts Mid Blackberries. v iv,t t. D. Viejit has fully demoti on all the buahes. The berry of which Mr. Wiest has the most is a red raspberry. Two long rows of these stretch through his garden and as one walks down the path between the bushes he can see bright, red, lus cious berries everywhere. There will be a heavy yield of these ber ries, but not nearly enough as there is quite a demand for them. They appear to be the favorites with local buyers. Another berry of which Mr. Wiest is proud is the Mersereau blackberry. These had not yet ripened but were forming large green berries which the hot sun of the past week must Mare battened toward the ripening stage. These, too, will yield a fine crop consider ing the number of bushes tliat are old enough to bear. Mr, Wiest will propoxate several hundred plants from the different varieties later in the season and will have them for sale. HAS RFCEIVED INSURANCE. Mrs. II. M. Street Has Uecn I'aU Six Thousand Dollars. The Bankers' Life Insurance Company of Des Moines, Iowa, has paid to Mrs. H. M. Street during the past week a policy for $4,000 on the life of her husband, who, it will be remembered was killed and his body blown into the Matoles river by an accidental explosion of dynamite last April. No trace has ever been found of Strecct's body and in view of the absence of proof of death Mrs. Street had to ajgu an ir.iemnitv lond before she could recover the insurance. Thi policy was taken but by Street only a short time prior to the accident. Street also onrried a policy for $2,000 in the UJnited Artisans lodge. This has "been paid, Mrs. Street first signinrj; on indemnity bond. f It is understood Mra-Strcet and family have been in quite strait ened circumstances since her hus band's death and the payment of these policies was undoubtedly most welcome. Jerusalem Artichokes for Pigs. Much has been written on the fixnl value of nrtichoki ,. but verv A drought also occurred 1 few careful expet intents have lweii made to determine just what pro portion of rations for farm animals can be profitably made up of these tubers. To throw light on this point, the Oregon station fed six thrifty Berkshire pigs which hud been tunning ou wheat stubble nud experience of that season further showed that late-summer irrigation, no matter how bciivf.cta'. m prod tie-1 mg vigorous growth 111 tue (all, islwlitcli weiglteu Irotu 117 10115 of no value unless supplemented by pounds at the beginning of the ex timely irrigation when the fruit is pcriment from October 22 to De maturing, -icembcr ti ou nrliclmkes, supple lu irrigating the water should be merited by n small ration of equal allowed to slowly flow along the 1 parts of chopiied wheat and oats. furrows ou either side of the matted strawberry rows The slowly (low ing water permeates the mellow ground as it proceeds and soaks in among the roots of the plants with out puddling the surface, but leav ing it more porous and permeable to air than after a rain. An attend ant directs the stream as it is need ed while walking on drv ground. Hy this method of irrigation there is no undue packing of the soil and 110 puddling of any part of it. It has been found mere satisfactory to apply the water slowly over a large area at once, giving it ample lime to soak into the ground, than to ap ply it faster over n smaller area. On a farm in Connecticut irriga tion increased the total yield 177 per ccut. In another experiment conducted under station auspices the increased yield due to irrigation was 155 per cent The irrigated berries were larger and a little later than the nouirrigated berries. They brought 1 1 cents per quart in the market, while the iionimgated ber ries brought but cents. The Colorado station advises irri gation of newly set strawberry beds about every two weeks, and culti vation continued until frost conies. Just before freezing weather sets in the plants should be well irrigated. milling ue4is 011 suriuy son require irrigation about twice a week, while on clay soils once a Week is believed to be sufficient. The practice at this station is to .make n shallow furrow close to each row of pluuts as soon as they are set anil run water down the furrows at once. even though the .soil be moist. This settles the soil about the roots of the plants aud gives them a prompt, vigorous start. The water should be confined to the furrows aud not allowed to flood the rows. At this station, also, n small stream allowed to flow for a long time is considered better than a more rapid supply. If a lateral is made across the cuds of the rows and the water supplied to An effort was made at the outset to compel the pigs to subsist on a diet of artichokes alone; but in the absence of grain there was very lit tle gain, and the pigs were not con tented. They were vigorous in their demands for something more substantial. The artichokes were grown near the pens, so that the pigs could have access to them whsuever they desired. The tubers tvere left in ground for the pigs to root out as they were needed A JKHtion of the plat was meas ured land the aakhokes dug to de tcrmiue the yield, which was found to be 7 o bushels per acre. During the experiment the six pigs consumed the artichokes grown 011 one-eighth acre nud made a total gain in live weight of 24.) jkhiihHs. or an average daily gam per pig of o.ttr pound. The pigs consumed during the jxriod 736 otiuds of grain, or at the rate of j 1 pounds of grain for each pound of gain in live weight. In other experiments i has been found that it requires about s pounds mixed grain for each M)iiud of gain in live weight Ou this basis the feeding of the artichokes resulted in a saving of nearly two pounds, of grain fo- each pound of gain in live weight. The pigs were healthy and vigorous throughout the experiment. The artichokes used in this ex periment were planted the last of April on ground plowed deeply and prepared as we would prepare ground for potatoes. The tubers were planted in furrows, which were three feet apart. The seed was dropped iS inches apart :u the row and covered with a hoc. The plants were cultivated a few limes, but nfter the tops were two feet high no further cultivation wns necessary. The lops grew seven feet high before the. end of the season. The pigs left only a few tubers in the ground. Farmers' Bulletin No. 92. Strayed. , A dark ' bay mare with sniall white spot, in forehead. Brand, quarter circlv over V.
