Hosh and fiddlesticks! It brings out a feller's elbows and the gable ends of his breeches. That's what it brings 'out. Poverty is a curse. It in the wife of woe, tlio slater of sorrow, the brother of bankruptcy, the fath er of famine, the mother of misery,, the grandfather of greod and the aunt of anxiety. it Is the stifler ?f genius, the handicap of enterprise and the skulking, scowling foe of | ?nthuslasm. It puts out the eye of j hope, murders the heart of ambition j and chokes the throat of zeal in the young dreamer's life. The Fpol-K Uler. We clip the above from the Fool Killer. a monthly periodical publica tion at Moravian Falls, N. C., and there is "more truth than poetry" im the quaintly expressed para graph. Poverty may bo a blessing ; ko disguise, In some instances, hut < it certainly handicaps many persons, who would make a much more bril liant success in the world were they sot reduced to want, and forced to combat the rugged propositions of life, on account of poverty. We do not believe in or endorse the doctrines of socialism, but we do be lieve that many who are -struggling in the world would accomplish far greater things for humanity if they only possessed some of the wealth owned by others, who do not use it jjroperly.

Before wetting Hbe plant#, the land Hhould n?! thoroughly plowt*l mid harrowed until tn peridot coudlt to!)? A fer tllizef analyzing 6 per cunt, phos phoric arid, 4 per cent, nitrogen, aud H p %r cent, potavh fthouhl ho applied In th?* row at |thl rate of from 600 to 000 I be. per acre. This should be mixed with noli l?y run niiiK one furrow with a plow. If ? lm plants are to he cultiva4ed with tho plow the rows should he 3 foot apart and (He plant* ?ot IK inches apart in tlto row. The strawberry Ih a Hurfaco. foedor aud therefore Hhould be cultivated shallow to pre vent Injuring -tho roots ofth t? plant. For beet *#sulta strawberries should bo cultivated in single crownn, that Ih tho runners should hot be allowed to form along the row As soon au they appear they should be removed. This may be done with the hoe . or the hand. When tho runnors arc allowed to form hot old plant Ih weakened to some extent which will lessen the crop of fruit tho following year, it the runners are allowed to form all along the row a large ^number of.be rios will be produced, but tho quan ity will not be increased nor will tho quality of tho berries be as good as when grown in single crown A sti'a wherry bed should be ro ne wed aftter the third year. It is therefore advisablo to plant a straw berry bed every year to take the place of the old one that Ih discard ed. In the eurly Spring the* old bed should be fertilized. This Is done by scattering the fertilizer broad cast. between lite rows and then cul tivating shallow Ih order to incor porate the fertilizer with tfce soil. The plants Hhould then be mulched either with straw or pine needles. The mulch will ?erv two purposes, ? It will greatly benefit the plant** by keeping tho soil moist and prevent injury during drouth. It will uIho keep the berries clean and free from sand and dirt. After crop of fruit in harvested tho plants should bo cultivatd clean throughout the summer, all runners being removed except those that may be needed for planting a new bed next rail. The following varieties are reccom mended for general planting:-? Ex celsior, Lady Thompson and Haver land. The Haverland la a pistillate variety and therefore Hhould be planted near the Lady Thompson or Exejslor which are both perfect flov* ering varieties . If the Haverland Is planted to itself it will not be pro ductlve as It does not produce pol len. The excelsior iB an exceedingly curly berry of good quality and is recommended for local markets and homo use. Tho Lady Thompson la probably the beat general purpose berry. it. closely follows the Ex celsior and bears abundantly, tho plants being extremely vigoroub. Tho Haverland is a large, late ber ry. but Is suited only for home ubo or local markets as the berries are too soft to stand shipping. I There are a great many other var)^ otles of strawberries that are very fine and well adapted to our condi tions, but the ones mentioned above have given best results In our trial plots.
