At lirst thong this seems to be against the u of fruit. It i.> doubtless true th we can gel the food to run tl body usuaiiy cheaper in som? thing else besides Iruit.

I think it < an excellent plan to eat 3 to 4 quarts ?f strawberries a day for 3 or 4 weeks, leaving olT all pie, cake, puddings, etc., and eating less meat, sugar, butter, etc. Of 1 course vegetables would answer pretty well, but tliey are not as ' palatable as the fruit, to many at least. Dr. Jordan said that if he 1 over got the dyspepsia it would come Ironi having eaten some- 1 tiling he did not like, that his 1 stomach rebelled against. When 1 a goodly part of my own diet is 1 fruit I cati safely eat all I want, ! always, partly because the fruit ' * is so palatable, and partly because 1 n, I do not get too large a propor- ^ ^ tion of dry matter in my stomach. When away from home at the ' it Institutes I buy fruit almost daily 1 2) to eat, as I rarely get enough at 1 the hotels. At home we always a- have an abundance in some form. id ! ' Jtrlivl fnjf Fru It, id II would not advise farmers gen- , orally to grow small fruits for i market. U will usually interfere Itoo much with their regular husi ness. It is hetter to tlo one tiling well than two things half way ? well. Hotter attend to your farm T ing. giving your entire energy to the business, and let someone else make a business of growing 1 the small fruits. There are many localities yet where someone 1 ' could start out in the small fruit ' business in a small wav, and 1 >r. * i i gradually work up a trade and 1 do well. There are many places ' yet, where berries are ship 1 id 'n ^or ^ocn' consumption 1 where they might be grown at a ' jj profit. If you are going into the 1 fruit business in a large way to 1 n- . ship or evaporate the fruit, then you want to grow many acres and ; ( work on a large scale. It is the I j only chance now. I was tobl in 1 one section this Winter that the i e . small growers were pulling up I . their bushes because thev could hi ; not a fiord to put in a good evap- 1 f orator, such as those had who 1 were in the business in a large' ' >vav. And tlie large growers I < 0- J 1 would not buy their berries, of I course, onlv with a cood inaririuii >r. ^ nl j>rolit. My Inond, S.

On strictly t business principals, yes. Hut then v ho will not buy freely, even j whore ho can. And often ho can- ' not get them handily anyway. * My friend, J. K. Rice, of the Institute conductors in New York, | tavs about buying berries : "You r think you will buy, and when the ' nine cornea yon feel down in f your pocket and find a dollar, ' and you are so good to it you let t it stay there." Yes, dollars usual- > Iv come hard and are too scarco. f We mean to buy, but we cannot ' for one reason or another. If we j lo not grow them we do not have j many. Mr. Rice told how the wo- j men often wandered around all : the afternoon picking wild straw- ' berries, and couhl only get a few. j And then he asked who got most ( ot those berries, if there were not , enough for all ? John, every time, t ai d the wife almost or tjuite goes < without. IIow true. I can rc- ' member back how my mother j used to go without such dainties to give father and me more. She ] pretended sho didn't care for them, I but I know better now. And ' many a time, years ago, when we 1 were poor and in debt (and deponded on buying berries), wife ( lias gone without in the same way, . that I might have more. And I < have eaten in a few minutes what 1 it took her hours to gather, many \ time. And still she never com "J plained. (Jod bless our good . wives an<l mothers. They are < usually better than we men de ' ?orvo. ^ Now, my good friends, are you ( ^oinjz to let your wife go without to till your stomach and give you bettor health ? Mine does not any i more. Do you have all the straw- J berries you can eat for some three t weeks, choice kinds and free as I water ? We do. Many of you do, ' but M>nie have not started yet.

Buy plants of a re iahle grower, and ask him to lend you such as will do well on rour soil. Do not get plants from mine old bed. Some varieties will lo well alone, others will not be ertilized. If you do not understand this matter tell the grower so, and ask him to send what will lo well together. We have three itrips ot ground side by side and otato on them. A new bed is set ;very year. The next year it jours,and then it is plowed under ind clover seed sown. We find it m excellent way of growing strawberries. We see that plants lo not run from one row to mother, so as to got varieties nixed. Then each Spring we take ,'oung plants to set a new bed "rom the bed grown the year beore. With a little system and imely care you can grow 10 >ushels of strawberries to eat and lardly miss the time. Most of people will enjoy better health dl Summer as a result of eating hem freely for nearly a month. \ ...i ?i? ' nut 11iv*11 i ney lasie so good ! l liev art' such a luxury ! Some imos we think we do not have ?ur share of the good things in his world. In this rase it. is our >wn fault if we do not. Any 'armor ran have berries to such in extent as a man in the city iving on $ 1 ,">00 or $2,000 a year :annot allord. My good friend Itice, relerred to above, is the >rightost Institute worker in his line I ever met. lie tells of eat ng strawberry shortcake in the nty, so called. "Two rakes, earh ibout 1 i inches thick and a streak )f juice between?strawberry iandwieh." And then in the jountrv : "Cakes about half an noli thick with an inch of berries jetween, and berries and cream ust bulging out all around. And lot a little wedge of a piece, but i quarter of the whole thing lumped on your plate at once." Friends, this is the way I want rou to live, and you ought to. fou work hard and deserve many )t the luxuries of life.

He looks upon money spent for these as an investment that brings him rich returns, not only in the mental satisfaction afforded him but in the shape of hard cash, indirectly,perhaps, but it brings il all the same. Hut, there is another class, and we are sorry to say a much more numerous one too,and it is a dark picture he presents to the eye. lie is too lazy physically and too indolent mentally to do anything l 1 hi so inn grow cotton, an<l he docs that because cotton is emphatically a lazy man's crop. He always comes to town on salesdav generally frequents the boneyard to see it lie can trade oil his "old rip" for another one a little better. But he has heen to town before this to see if he can make arrangements with somebody "to run" him, for which great favor he proposes to give a lien on his future labor, and promises to raise cotton to satisfy the lien. Not having any corn in his crib nor any meat in hi< smokehouse this lien is to pay for these things for his family to eat and to keep alive the aforesaid "old rip" until he can make another crop of cot ton. He hasn't any wheat growing to make bread for his family nor any oats for his "old rip." hecause about the time ho should have heen sowing these he was busy gathering that last year's crop of cotton to satisfy a lien and having already found out that he could not more than pay out be tween times ho is hustling around to find a place to move to. This moving business is somewhat chronic with him and hence he did not plant any more potatoes than will do him until Christmas, and as for a garden what would ho the use of fixing up a garden spot when in all probability he would not stay hut one year. The same is true in regard to truck 1 patches, and as for stock of any 1 kind to furnish him with milk and ' l . . i * - * ' * i diiiicr anu manure that is out of jtho fJtiostion.
