STRAWEZE‘RRV“ CULTURE. - ._._â€"_ lithe DoveIOpmcnt Tin-ought its Various Stages of Growth. Even among the best growers there -’seems to be a lack of knowledge of the exact development of the strawberry, through its various stages of growth, and often misconceptions arise that lead to unwise practice. It may be considered as fundamental that the rational cultivation of a plant depends 'upon the method of growth of that plant far more than upon the.fruit, the seed or other particular part for which it is grown. For this reason a few remarks upon the growth of the strawberry plant may explain why cer- tain practices now common are cor- rect or incorrect, as the case may be. Though generally believed to be stemless. the strawberry has a. very short stem, the leaves all springing from a space of generally an inch or less. The bases of the leaves are pro- vided with little expanded parts that clasp the stem and thus protect it with several layers from frost and; heat. From the bases of these leaves spring the runners and also, at or near the top of the stem, the blossom buds. In seedling and runner plants only one year old there is only one flower stalk xcept in the rare instances where two crowns spring from one root. The runners form the surest 'means for the plant’s reproduction, the plants that spring from seed being more or less unlike the parent. The removal of these runners tends to 'throw growth into the crown of the parent plant and. to produce many flower stalks the following spring. This is why the“ hill system of grow- ing the strawberry is practiced by some growers. It must be said, howâ€" ever, that this practice, except with s'pecial care in keeping the soil well up around the plants, will soon be-_ ' come unprofitable since the lengthen- ing stem affords .a greater opportunity for the atéacks of frost and the dry- ing influences of hot winds. Besides this, the activity of the roots becomes Some Human Rodents. _ -“ rs“; _â€" The number of our fellowrreatures, noung and old, who feel impelledio gnaw iomething is much larger than .15 gener- lily supposed. The chronic nanlâ€"brter 15 well known, but there are others who iither through depraved taste or psychic 'iisense gnaw wood, fur, cloth, etc, to ihe great detriment of their health. From in article contributed to “Cosmos” ll’aris), by M. A. Peres, we .learn- that the nail-biters have been dignified by Dr. Berillon with a jaw-breaking name, that of “onychophages.” Says the author: “In one school in Paris, of 265. pupils examined, there were found 63 nail-bit ers, or one in five. In a high schoolthe proportion was a little lower. Examina- tion of 100 school children in-a \v1ll'age in the department of the Yonne showed but three nail-biters, but in a mixed school of the some department, of 20 boys there were 6 biters (20 per cent.), and of 21 girls there were 11 (52 per cent)., In a secondary school for gn‘ls, of 207 pupils, 61 hit them nails. . . . About 25 per cent. of children of both sexes probably have this bad habit. “Now this habit is not only unpleas- ant; it has the effect, says Dr. Berillon, of constantly carrying to the mouth dusty material gathered in the hand. This ingestion of pathogenic microbes is a sourCe of various ills. Besxdcs, the horny material of the nail (keratin) is toxic, or at least emetic. This is. why nail-biters are often attacked by intes- tinvail- troubles. . . . . “Various means have been proposed to cure children of this mania; many physicians advise the smearing of the fingers witha bitter substance like pipes or quinine, but this is not always ef- fective. . ., . “The gnawers of penholdcrs, whom it has not been thought necessary to decor- ate with a Greek name, are yet more numerous than the ‘onychoph‘ages’ In one provincial school 38 per cent. were found; in a girls’ college, 59 out of 207 pupils, etc. Happily it is rare that those who are fond of penholders also bite their nails. These two habits exclude one another, the nail-eater being rarely a penholder-catcr and vice versa. “A habit of gnawing hair has not been nrnacronn Because I have been selling them four years, and not one has cost repairs yet.

CIEUIECIIICS. Feed it from the beginning. impaired from being placed higher . and higher up each year as the plant grews older, till at last they are prac- tically upon the surface. Thus the plant leads itself to its own destruc- â€" tion. Since the stem and itsâ€"to beâ€"e- flower stalk are most exposed to the inclemencies of the weather it is of the utmost importance that they be protected by mnlches. These would also conserve the supply of stored food for the use of the. first leaves, the flower stalk, the flowers and also the runners up to the time of their, rooting. Since the\ size and the number of fruits is dependent upon the food not required by other parts of the plant, it is important that all damage from insect and fungous pests should be guarded against and that an ample supply of water he at hand to insure against the effects of drought. Well rotted manure or very rich soil lihu orally applied after harvest would furâ€" zzish'the young plants with ample food 1nd help to protect them from great heat. ! Finally, the burning over of beds after fruiting seems a good practice so far as pests are concerned. But this practice is objected to by some growers, who say that it injures some plants at the crown. In the experience hitherto generally observed except with animals. . . . Men, however, have the same tastes as their lower brethren, for . cases have been reported from various quarters of the world in which tumors have been found in the stomach, consisting wholly of fragments of wood ‘and hair collected in the gastric cavuty. Thus Dr. Jacobson has published in the ‘Medical Ne-ws’ the case of a young girl of eleven years who was accustomed to bite off the ends of her hair, and whose stomach it was necessary to open to re- move therefrom an enormous hairy ball weighing 500 grams (about apound). “To these divers varieties of bitcrs, Dr. Talanron has ' added another, that of thread-eaters. Let us hear him: ‘1 have just observed the following case of a young girl of eighteen, a dressmraker . .. who was under my care for a slight m- disposition, when the nurse told me the patient passed her time in gnawmg at her woolen fle‘hu. . . . In four or five days in. third of the garment. had been eaten. The patient told us that ,in the previous September, being in the leountry and at leisure, she had eaten a whole fiohu in less than a month.’ . . . “This observation is not isolated; the habit of gnawing cloth or thread is cer- tainly very frequent among workers With the needle, but it has not yet received suificient attention, although it may have given rise to much graver. troubles than nailabiting. 1 Em ,{ ,APTISTCHURCHâ€"-QUEEN ST RE g‘i BenJ.
