Was it the girls or the coon that
Frank Klemish got scared at?
Miss Ida Swiu, the ladv who has
been so ill of lnng fever, is better.
Miss Jennie Donaldson reports a
line school at No. 5, aud likes it fine.
Miss Emma Call said good-bye to
her many friends and probably went
a little further than that particular
party thought, as she went to Peoria,
Illineis, to live with her aunt.
A letter from S. F. Donaldson says
he has arrived at liippy, Oklahoma,
and has ordered lumber for his new
yard. He reports quite a blizzard
and a good deal of suffering among
the people who are living in tents.
No. 8, or what is known as the
Simmons school house was considera
bly damaged by fire, last Thuasday
night. When Frank Klemish open
ed the door, on Friday morning, he
could not get in for smoke. He im
mediately called Hugh Ferret 1, the
director, aud the two, by using suow,
succeeded in putting the tire out. It
seems the fire was caused by a detect
ive flue. This is the second case of
the kind within a year. The house
being closed up tight prevented the
flames from spreading, but two of the
joice that supported the chimney were
burned off letting that structure fall,
smashing the stove and one seat and
burning a large place in the floor and
allowiug the stove to fall through and
onto the ground. The German Insur
anoe Company, of Freeport, Illinois,
has four or five men here today re
pairing the damage. The promptness
of tIiis company in adjusting the loss
is reaping for them a big harvest in
this part ot the county.

The Farmer's Berry Patch.
Paper Read by Mrs. Wm. Masterson at the
Audubon County Farmers Institute.
The farmer's berry patch is one of. if not
the most important and useful, of all the
patches on the farm and one that is gen
erally most neglected. If the average
farmer would cultivate the berry patch
as he does the cornfields, he would have
better success, as it is through cultivation
we obtain the best results from our berry
patches. The art must be worth cultivat
ing that enables a person to grow two
berries by care and proper cultivation as
one by neglect and inattention. How
many farmers buy plants, set them out
and expect the soil and housewife to do
the rest, and although no better soil tliau
Iowa's soil exists for the cultivation of the
berry, still they have no berrries and can
not perceive how it is. Doubtless they lay
the fault to those from whom they bought
the plauts. I do not believe in buying
every new sort and variety that is sold by
the fruit tree agents that canvass the
country, but those that are recommended
by our experimental stations or by our
best horticultural papers. An yet I believe
in testing new fruits, for it is through ex
perimeutal work with new sorts that we
approach the ideal. When a new candi
date is offered for trial it should not be
condemned before it has thorough test,
for
how do we know that it may not become
the ideal of our soil and climate. The old
er berries that are now our standard com
uiericial varieties were novelties a few
years ago. It is true that the trial tests
are attended with some expense, as well
as labor. We should not complain of the
expense or time that it takes to make the
test. The wealth that all our berry culture
adds to this great country came through
long years of patient trial. At the begin
ning of this century there were almost
none, or we might say, no berries, except
the native berry of the forest. It is to
these original berries, with a few importa
tions, and the skillful management of pa
tient propogators, that we are indebted for
the many varieties of our berries. As we
look over the farms of our county we find
about :0 per cent of our farms that do not
have this useful berry patch. And this
denotes the carelessness and character of
the farmer to provide one of the most
healthful articles of food, and one of, the
cheapest if raised on the farm. We are
told that Napoleon lost Waterloo because
of indigestion, and many an event as im
portant has proved a Waterloo from the
same cause. Vigorous health and tine
brain can proceed only from that perfect
physical condition which results from
right living, and that right living is not
obtained without the berry patch. I know
the proverb lias said, "Better a dinner of
herbs, with love, etc." Hut lierbsasacon
stant diet will pall on the taste if poorly
served. In this day of advanced civiliza
tion it ought to be possible to have both
the herb and the berry. Every farmer
should have all kinds
of berries, both early
and late, that are adapted to the climate.
$
No farmer's table need be without fresh
berries, as small fruit from June to Octo
ber, and every day of the year have canned
berries, besides the many culinurv articles
of preservatives, such as jellies, jams, etc.,
that we make from our luscious berries,
and that no one knows li^w to better pre
pare than the farmer's wife. These patch
es do not necessarily need to be large if
wanted only for home consumption. Cur
rants ami gooseberries can be planted ill
the garden us they do not require much
room. A row of each four rods long would I
yield enough to insure a crop of goose
berries. They must be well pruned and
mulched. In strawberry culture, three
things are essential good ground, good
plants and good cultivation. And no
farmer's table need be without them, as it
requires but a small plat of ground to raise
enough for family use, and 110 other berry
is as profitable as the strawberry. The
cultivation of blackberries and raspberries
are similar. 1 would plant in several rows
where they can be reached to cultivate
and gather the fruit without injuring the
canes. They require breathing space also.
They require ail occasional stirring of the
soil, but not deep enough to injure their
rootsanv. In dry seasons a good mulch
through the summer is excellent for the
plants. The mulch keeps the top soil cool
and moist and prevents the berries from
drying up. Raspberries, 1 liiulGregg best
of the black caps and Cutbert best of the
red varietv, as they are very productive
the Snyder blackberry the most hardy
and best adapted to this locality the
Wilson will produce more berries hut must
be protected or they winter-kill. Ancient
Britain is a larger and better flavored
berry than the Snyder, not so hardy, and
those that were on the north slope stood
tne winter of a year ago while those011 the
southern slope were all killed. For grapes,
Concord is a good grape for this climate
also Moore's Karlv for au early grape
Warden, in my opinion, is the best of all
around grapes grown, as it is of a good
I size, an excellent flavor, aud is very de
sirable for home use. I will wonder from
the starting point and include the cherry,
as they come so near to the beriy. Every
farm should have them. They are more
easily grown than the berry and will en
dure more neglect, and for canning they
lead all other fruit. Early Richmoud I
tindtobethe best, with Montmorancyn
close competitor. I would have English
Morella and Late Richmond for a late
cherry.
