Several farmers in dtlerent parts of the South have been ditfoittung in the columns O!' the Country (fenUakan, of New York, the characteristics of fie negro as a farm laborer. One of thorn who signs himself “Farmer,” thinks prettj well of the negro; another, writing from Walthourville, Ga., says he has employed many hands—lrish, German and America}; he has also “em ployed several grades rf the darky, from the foreman to whom I aid $25 a month cash and board) who stole ny feed front the mules after it had been put ,n the manger) to the errand boy, at $5 a month. They are all thievish ‘eye-servants,’ with no work in them except by cuistant watching and urging; the most unreliable labor in the world —at work to-clty and gone to-morrow, returning the next day claiming to nave been ‘sick, sah,’ leaving you iir the grass to get along as best you could; and if once in your debt, then indeed you may say ‘Good by, Sam.’ •’ As for “Farmer’s” cash plan, Ido not question that Mr. Powers settles the same way. I never owe my hands a cent on Sunday morning; everything is paid Saturday night. Does this make my bands work steadier and with more interest and intelligence; Emphatically no. It makes them come when I want them; that is all. I have often given a hand something above his wages and praised him for his work, thinking this would induce him to do still better, but it was useless; the lack of ambi tion, innate to the darky, kept him from improving,his motto being ‘ ‘Take no thought for the morrow;” praise spoils them and scolding drives them off. I have yet to see and work one who can change from one piece of work to another, except plain plowing, without the boss being present to direct. I have been through it all and had my confidence upset. If “Farmer” will take a Liberty county negro and work him one year and pay him S3OO and not watch him and make 50c. on his year’s labor I will become a convert to his remarkable doctrine “don’t watch your hands;” but that is the only way he can convince me. The truth is that the average negro farm laborer at the South is not well understood by a large majority of our own people. If a farmer makes money out of negro labor he generally speaks well of it; if he loses money, he thinks it a frail and broken staff to lean upon. The Southern merchant, who has a large negro patronage and makes money, will insist that this kind of labor is remarkably good, and it is the planter’s fault if he fails and is sold out. The politi cian who secures a large negro vote and an office thinks well of negro labor and the negro, and often reminds the white people how well they remained and behaved dur ing the war, but forgets the St. Domingo threats and thirst for rebel blood, from old age to the cradle, that in numerous negro quarters in the South was at fever heat af ter the war was over, the South whipped and Federal bayonets were seen at our capi tals and on our streets. The whole truth about the Southern negro since the war as a laborer, a citizen, a voter and in regard to his status as a Christian and in educational matters, has never yet been written. It is still in dispute and behind the curtain. When and How to Plant Strawberries. Mr. F. M. Brewer is one of the most suc cessful growers of fruits of Crystal Springs, Miss., a community largely devoted to hor ticultural pursuits, gives the following di rections as to planting strawberries; Rake the ridges with a steel handrake be fore planting; stretch a gai-den line; set the plants 15 or 18 inches apart. Hold the root in the left hand, the small leaves and stem even with the upper part of the fist. Cut the roots off even with the outside of the closed little finger; this makes the roots in length just equal to the width of the hand. Open a hole in the mellow earth with a little wooden paddle; spread out the roots like a fan; put them in a hole and press the earth firmly around them. Don’t hurry too much and do the work well. Cotton seed as a fertilizer for strawberries furnishes fertilizing properties two or three years in succession. Cotton seed meal will do in place of cotton seed, at the rate of 300 or 400 pounds to the acre; but they lose their fertilizing properties much sooner than the seeds do. Strawberries do not need a large quantity of ammonia and but little lime. Potash, acid phosphate and humus in proper quantities are Reeded. Pea vines furnish the humus. Barnyard and stable manure in moderation are good for strawberries. No work in strawberry patches is needed in winter, only for November planted straw berries. then only run bull tongue in water furrows. Scatter bone meal and ashes broadcast in winter to give plants an early start. Wood mould and salt may be added after work ing. Top dressing may be used after any plowing and do good. In working straw berries use turning plows, shovels, half shovels, bull tongue and Planet Junior cul tivator. Use hoes often in strawberries. Keep up cultivation into September and October; cultivate often. Roots of strawberries run as deep as the plowing. Pea vines plowed in make flue strawber ries. Don’t hoe strawberries deep; bar off five or six inches from struwlierries; be careful not to plow deep enough to disturb the roots. Mi'. Brewer sows field peas in the water furrow in July and August, working them in with bull tongue and hoe. We noticed t hem us green as orange leavisi —a dark rich gioen, no yellow tinge, on the Otli of Wcp tember, in a burning drought, when sugar '•ana and late com worn withered, curled and badly fired. His strawberries looked green and stood the drought nearly as well as clay peas. Mr. Brewer has shipped strawberries as late as the sth of May aud as early as the 38th of March. The Value of Wild Frutta. At the recent meeting of the Massachu setts Pomological Society, which wna a no table one, at which the display of fruits waa very large, Mr. A. H. Fuller read an Inter esting essay on "Promising Wild Fruits ” He thought that experience justified us in the attempt to Improve by ■elwttou aud croasing such fruits as the Junetierry. Mis "ourl currant, wild gooseberry, high bush hu*'kleljrry,persimmon and pawpaw From I tie '-fullest sett ii nuollt of I tie uOSUItTV for eign giapes were tried, but uui until fifty years ago wars our native spadee canal dared af any p, om> sc Now our beat varieties a-mss hnu wild stock and ue* muodu-uote were looked upon with distrust according to the quantity of European blood they e&r r.ed. No native raspberry was formerly considered good enough for the table, while now the Cuthbert and other home berries had shouldered their way to the front anil were altogether the most hardy and trust worthy. In the Pomoiogical report for ’54 only four varieties were named, and all these were foreign. Ten years later four native black caps were admitted to the list but still no native red raspberries. In the report for ’BS twenty-five of the thirty-seven named varieties were from our wild species and now any variety with foreign blood was looked upon as delicate and of doubtful value. We made no progress with straw berries until we began to build upon the wild stock. All this seemed to warrant a fair trial by selection and crossing of other native fruits. Especially promising was the persimmon, crossed with the large and lus cious species from Japan that was not hardy in this latitude, for we might hope to obtain a hybrid with the strong native constitution and the more delicate quality and larger size of its Asiatic relativo. Mr. Goff added some testimony in favor of the Juneberry or service-terry, which varied in form and size from a considerable tree to a low and most fruitful shrub no more than three feet high. The number of varieties made the probability of getting a berry of strong in dividual quality much greater. Whipping Horses. The whip, says M. M. Ballou, is the par ent of stubbornness in a high-spirited ani mal, while gentleness will win oteCfence and at the same time attach the animal to us. It is the easiest thing imaginable to win the affection of animals, and especially horses. An apple, a potato or a few lumps of sugar given from the hand, now and then, will cause the horse to prick up his ears at the sound of his owner’s footstejis, not with fear, but with a low, whinnying note of pleasure. The confidence of the noble beast thus gained will lead him to obey the slightest intelligent tone of voice or indication of the bit. There is no such thing as balkiness to be found in a horse thus treated; he shows a desire to obey, whereas a few lashes of the whip, smartly applied, if he be a horse worth having, will arouse in him a spirit of retaliation and stubbornness that may cost the owner hours of trouble and possibly danger to life and limb. Horses are made gentle by kindness. They “believe” in the master they love and his voice will calm them in a moment of fear or induce them to struggle forward even when overladen, and when a whip would be sure to bring them to a stubborn standstill. No one knows the true value of his horse until he has won his regard and confidence, as it were. The whip will never do this. A kind hand and gentle voice will act like magic; thus we have known women who could handle and drive horses that would almost invariably show some vicious traits in the hands of a male driver. These facts apply especially to the rearing and training of young colts; something which the Arabs understand better than we do. They do not “break” their colts, they adapt them; they fondle them from their birth and pet them always. An Arab would as soon strike his wife or his daughter as his horse, and no animals in the world are fleeter, more enduring or more docile in the performance of every task which is given them than the Arabian horse. We would like to see the whip wholly discarded. Big Head in Horses. Dr. George E. Matthews, D. V. S., of this city, writes to the Morning News as fol lows concerning the disease named above: “Big head is a term for a disease known to professional men as ostes porosis or osteo sarcoma. It makes its appearance as a hard lump on the cheekbone, about half way between the eye and the nostril. The cellu lar structures of the bone becomes trans formed into a material which is neither cartilage nor bone, but which might be called ost co-cart it ay in ous. The jaws may increase to an incredible size. They grow in an uneven, irregular manner, so that mastication is seriously obstructed to such an extent, in fact, as to prevent the jaws from closing, the result of starvation. The chief peculiarity of this disease is that it is one of youth, not being known in animals of mature age. Some of the ablest writers are inclined to attribute it to deficiency of the earthy salts of the food or to a mat-as similation of these in the body. The fact that this disease lias not teen recorded in aged hoi-ses points out most strongly that, it is a disease of growth, and in this way only can we account for the enormous size often attained and rendered possible by the fragile and elastic nature of the tenes dur ing the early years of tile horse's age. It points out most strongly that it is a disease of growth, and the circumstances of the bone being fragile nnd more elastic than natural, they present the symptoms of rheu matic lameness, frequently terminating in spontaneous fracture of the bones involved. The disease is most common in some por tions of the Southern States, and, though the primary cause is unknown, wo have but little doubt that the able writers who have treated upon the subject are in the main correct, there being no doubt that there is some want of proper assimilation —probably owing to the lack of the proper proportions of some of the necessary elements. "This will bring us to the inquiry as to whether it is “catching.” When a number of animals are attacked by the same disease it is very natural for the conclusion to te reached that the disease is Infectious. But supposing the theory advanced above to te correct there would te no reason te look upon the ailment as in any way catching. Tnat a number should lx? attacked about the same time may te rationally accounted for on the theory that certain elements being wanting oertaiu ill effects may te pr'riuced in the number of animals which may hap pen to be iu such a state of body as to ten der them predisposed thereto. When a rase is advanced ti-eatment is of little avail. If the cause it seen at the beginning it should te attended to wit hout loss of time, as delay is dangerous. It is probable, how ever, there would tea limit to this deposi tion ill an v ease, the animal afterwards being enabled to work, though with an un sightly big head.” Household.

To every seven pounds of grapes use four-and-one-balf pounds of sugar, one pint of good vinegar. Spice quite highly with ground cloves nigi allspice, with a little cinnamon. Roast Reed Birds. —Pick your birds carefully and draw them; place them in a baking-pan with a little water and roast them in a brisk oven: ten or fifteen minutes will te sufficient: chop up the intestines and make a sauce of them with the gravy from the pan in which the birds were roasted, a little water, butter and flour; lay the birds on buttered toast and pouu the sauce over them; send to table very hot. Oyster Loaves. —With a poin#d, sharp knife cut off the tops of some small, round French rolls; scrape out the crumbs and fry them crisp in clarified butter. Stow as many oysters as needed. First, however, remove the fringe, or “beard,” and cut them iu two. Fill the rolls with the oysters, well mixed with the crumbs, add a bit of butter to each, put on the lids and set in the oven to brown. Serve with fried bread crumbs sprinkled on them. Farm and Stock Notes. Though a nuisance, crab-grass is not ob jectionable as hay if properly cured. When it is young all animals relish it and it pro vides an agreeable green food where but little hav is grown. Potato vines (which contain a large quan tity of potash) should te carefully raked up and added to the compost or manure heap. If in a green condition they will quickly de compose and should, therefore, not lie al lowea to dry on the rows after the crop is dug. A driven well can te put down in sandy or loose soil at less cost tlian it takes to dig and brick up an ordinary well, while the water will te pure and free from decaying toads and insects. At tnis season all open wells should te thoroughly cleaned out in order to guard against animal matter iu the water. Old bones and old cast-away shoes put on a pile of dried brush, the trimmings of trees aud vines, with any half-rotted wood around the place, and the whole converted into ashes, will make an excellent fertilizer for the gar den. A little limestone, if obtainable, add ed to the pile will increase the value of the “remains.” W hen manure is hauled to the fields and left in heaps the rains wash out a portion of the soluble matter, and the consequence is that when the crops arc growing there will te rich spots here and there, which aro un sightly. The manure should either te spread out when hauled or remain in the general heap at the barn. It is much better, when plowing the ground late in the fall, to leave the ridges in the rough condition instead of harrowing, as the frost will exert more complete disintegra tion of the clods. By late plowing, espe cially after frost, the cutworms will te de stroyed and the land more easily cross plowed the following spring. Prof. E. W. Stewart says that one ounce or less of oil meal to a gallon of warm, sweet whey will make it nearly equal in feeding value to whole milk for the raising of a calf to three weeks old, and after that another quarter of an ounce may te safely added. The oil meal should te dissolved in hot whey before mixing with that of the right tem perature to feed. Fowls that are confined in yards and kept warm in winter will give better results tne entire year than when they are allowed to roam at will. The hens that have free range will sometimes lay more eggs in sum mer than will those that are confined, but the hens that are properly cared for during the cold season will lay at a time when the highest prices for eggs are usually obtained. The old strawberry bed)? produce fruit a little earlier than do the plants of the first year’s growth. The old beds will require hand weeding in the rows if the grass and weeds are to te removed. If this te not done the seeds of weeds will te left to grew the next season. Cultivate between the rows well and train the runners in close to the rows if a thick ted of plants be de sired. Do not attempt to use kerosene and water together, as the two liquids will not mix. Hence some plants may te sprayed with pure kerosene and others with the water. If the kerosene te first mixed with milk or strong soapsuds, and water then te added, an emulsion may te obtained that will te well mixed. Many plants are often killed by improper modes of making the emul sion, and too much care in regard to the use of kerosene cannot te taken. There is in Monmouth county, N. J., a cow whose record as a breeder is so mar velous that it is almost incredible. .She is a result of a cross between the Jersev and Ayrshire breeds and is now 7 years old. At her first calving she produced three calves, at her second calving three calves, at her third calving three calves, at her fourth two and at her fifth four calves —in all, fifteen perfectly formed calves in five years, at five cal vine's: aid each year she was bred to a bull different from the one preceding. This weighing of the milk, .testing the cows and knowing to the dollar what one is doing is a great help to the dairy farmer and, for that matter, to every farmer. It enables iiim to get rid of the poor milkers and replace them with good ones; and the latter cost no more P) keep or handle than the former. Then he can improve his pro duce by breeding to a bull of a good milk ing strain, and thus add additional quarts to each head daily. Again, he can study what feed is Ixsvt ealeulated to increase the flow of milk. He can put up ice and thus keep his butter in good condition. Popular Science. Electricity has been found to‘lßß,ooo mile* per second under favorable circumstances. The petroleum refiners of the United States consume ateut if,000,000 pounds of sulphuric acid per mouth. It has been estimated that during growth Indian corn draws thirty-six times its own weight of water from the soil. It is reported that missionaries in the Congo region have discovered that a lever age made of bananas is a preventive of ma larial fevers. According te geological computations the minimum age of the earth since the forma tions of the primitive soils is 21,000,000 years— 0,700,000 yen At for the primordial formations, 0,400.000 years for the primary age, 2,300,000 years for the secondary age. and 400,000 years for the tertiary age, and 100,000 since the appearance of man u|xn the globe. It is difficult, says ft Belgian journal, to distinguish betwe'qi iron an l steel jkjolh, having as they do the same )iolish and work manship, though use will -commonly show the difference; but to make the distinction quickly it is only necessary te place the tool upon a stone and drop upon it some diluted nitn<- acid, four part* water to one of acid, and if of iron the tool will remain clean, while if of steel it will show a black spot where touched with the acid. l'rof.
