In building A
r _ strawberry
fives the follow-
iis point:
around our young
orchards several years ago we tried many
plans for preserving the posts. Having
occasion to remove the fence this winter
we noted the condition of the posts as
follows: Those set with no preparation
were decayed mb inch or more in thick
ness; (hose coated with a thick wash of
lime were better preserved, but were
quite seriously attacked by worms ; those
posts coated with hot tar were perfectly
sound as when put in the ground; those
painted with petroleum and kerosene
were equally as sound and as good for
setting. Let (he posts get thoroughly
dry, and then, with a pan of cheap
kerosene and a whitewash brush, give
the lower third of tho post, the part to
go into the ground, two or three appli
cations of the oil, letting it soak in well
each time. Posts so treated will not be
troubled by worms or insects of any kind,
but will resist decay to a remarkable
degree. This we find to be the simplest,
easiest, - cheapest and best method of
preservation.
Experiments In Strawberry Culture.
When strawberry plants are trans
planted in midsummer it often happens
that, a dry spell follows, and nothing
but liberal irrigation will save them
from dying out, even when potted plants
are used. This means a good deal of ex
tra labor for tho grower and often the
plants get such an unsatisfactory start
that they arc not of much account the
following year. Still there are advantages
in summer r»i«nt.in<* At iu nv.:«
At the Ohio Ex
periment Station last yoar, the season
being an unfavorable one on account of
the extremely dry weather, the experi
ment was tried of planting a few rows
of Crescents fn close order, about six
inches apart in the rows. The yield
proved to be nearly equal to that of the
spring plants, while the fruit was finer
in appearance. The balance of the sum
mer plants set out late in July or August
only yielded about half as much as the
spring set plants. Professor Green sug
gests that by adopting this method of
close planting market gardeners might
profitably grow strawberries as a second
crop, even if the yield is not ns great as
on plants that have had a whole year to
grow in.
Another experiment with strawberry
plants at the Ohio Station was conducted
with a view to ascertaining the effect of
various fertilizers upon the growth of
the plants and the possible effects upon
tho composition and quality of the fruit.
Plots were treated respectively with su
perphosphate at the rate of 30J pounds
per acre; nitrate potash, 200pounds per
acre, and barnyard manure. A fifth plot
for compmiBon was not fertilized. The
variety used was the Crescent seediug.
A careful analysis showed that the va
rious fertilizers applied to the different
plots had no effect whatever in chang
ing the composition of the fruit. Neither
could any difference he detected in the
appearance or taste of samples gathered
from the several plots.. It was noted,
—JK)YWqr v .that the Jruit ripened, earlier on
the plot dressed with superphosphate
. than on the one treated with nitrate of
’soda, while, on the other hand, the last
named plot produced the most luxuriant
plants. Tho plants on the unfertilized
plot could not bo distinguished from
those treated with superphosphate.
Nitrate of soda stimulated the growth of
the plants, which were dark and lux
uriant, but decreased the quantity of
fruit. Potash had an appreciable effect
on the color or growth of the plants.
Barnyard manure, as is usual in such ex
periments, gave the best results of all.
Farm and Garden Notes,
Many orchardists prefer to “heel in’
trees for spring planting in the fall
rather than take them directly from the
nursery when wanted.
Professor Henry states as the result oi
experiment that long ensilage will go
neafly twice as far in feeding cows as
long fodder when large varieties of corn
are used.
Many recommend sheep for feeding in
orchards rather than swine. They leave
no safe cover for insects to breed, and
will keep the orchard healthy and the
trees manured.
The average life of the city horse is
said to be six years. In view of the
enormous amount of horses used in
cities, it is no wonder the demand for
good ones is so large and steady.
Professor James, of the Ontario Agri
cultural College, tells how to judge of
good linseed cake. It should be, among
other points, reddish in color, not too
dark, of granular structure on the sur
face, decidedly oily to the taste, free
from dust and grit, with few, if any,
foreign seeds when examined under the
microscope, and not damp, except with
oil.
The curl in the leaf of the first growth
of neacli trees is duo to a disease caused
bv a check to the growth by unusual
cold or wet in the Spring. It has been
unusuuliy noticeable the past spring, in
conse jUcnce of the late frosts and cold,
dry weather in May, and in some locali
ties, on the reverse, by reason of the
cold wet weather. The succeeding
growth will probably be all right. A
microscopical examination gives no evi
dence of injury by insects.
A California poultry raiser says:. Tho
bottoms of old wash boilers, which are
often thrown away or sold for a few
cents, make good feed pans, and if taken
care of will last for years. I prefer
those to wooden feed troughs, because
you can scour and clean them thoroughly
in a few minutes, which you can not do
with wooden troughs, as they get sour
in a short time and arc more liable to
spread disease. For drinking vessels I
would take the bottom of an old teakettle.
I cover this up after the water is put in,
only leaving a few small spaces for the
chicks to put their heads through;
thereby the wator will keep cloan and
cool. I have managed in this way for
years with many chicks and have not
lost one by disease.

Different Types of Wool.
The Statistician of the Department of
Agriculture divides the wool grown in
the United States into three classes. The
first of the three classes is clothing wool.
This is the lleece of full blood and grado
Merino, of flue, short fibre, remarkable
for its felting qual ties. The highest type
of this race, the registered thoroughbred,
is found in Vermont, where breeding
flocks are more numerous than elsewhere,
and in considerable numbers in Western
New York, Ohio and Michigan, and
scattered through the Western States.
The merino type of wool prevails al
most exclusively in the three States
named, in Texas and throughout the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast areas.
Few sheep of other blood are found west
of the Missouri River. Western Penn
sylvania and West Virginia furnish wool
of the merino type mainly. Thescnboard
States of New England also furnish some
grade wool of this type.
The second class, the combing wool of
the tariff classification, includes the me
dium and long wool of the English
breeds, the Cotswold, Leicester, Lin
coln, several families of Downs, and
other breeds of long and coarse wool,
popularly known as the mutton breeds.
These are few in number compared with
the merino type. Nearly all of the sheep
of the South, exclusive of Texas, are of
this class, mostly descendants of the less
improved English sheep of a hundred
years ago, with occasional infusions of
better blood from England, Canada, or
the Northern States. In Kentucky prob
ably lit) per cent, are of the combing
wool class. A considerable portion, too,
are highly improved, giving to this State
the reputation of having a larger pro
portion of high quality mutton than any
other State.
In the vicinity of the Atlantic cities,
from Maine to Virginia, sheep husbandry
is principally lamb production, the males
being Downn or other English breeds,
and the ewes grades of both the merino
and the Englfsh types. This combina
tion produces a mixed wool of a useful
character. Then there are considerable
numbers of the English breeds, though
fewer than merino, scattered through
the Western States, from Ohio to Kan
sas, and a few on the Pacific Coast and
in the Territories.
As to the third class, the carpet wool,
it is represented in the United States
only by tho Mexican sheep, which are
the foundation of a large proportion of
the ranch flocks, but so improved by
repeated crosses as to furnish wool of the
merino type, much of it of a high grade.

Crust or Crumb.
The complaining witness—The one
■bom the shyster lawyer browbeats.
A curious custom prevails in Ond
Bcierland, in Holland. October is the
auspicious month, and on the first Sun
day (known ns review day) the lads and
lapses, attired in their best, promenade
the street separately, stare each other
out of countenance, and then retire to
make up their minds on the second Sun
day, which is called decision day. The
young men go up and pay their compli
ments to the fair ones of their choice to
learn if they are regarded with favor.
Oa the third Sunday, or day of purchase,
the swain is expected to snatch the
pocket-handkerchief of his adored one,
and if she submits to it with good grace
he understands that his chances of win
ning her are flattering. The captured
pledge is restored to the fair owner on
the fourth Sunday, the “Sunday of tak
ing possession,” and it rarely happens
that the damsel refuses the lover for
whom she has indicated a preference.
On the Sunday following, the suitor, ac
cording to custom, calls at the house of
his inamorata, where he is asked to tea.
If a piece of the crust of a gingerbread
loaf be handed to him there is nothing
left for him bu t to retire. If, on tho

family.

Marriages By Lot. ' v
Many marriages take place mtoualty in
Naples, Italy, becauso of money* left,
according to last will and teitanfant, by
benevolently-disposed individuals, to
endow a certain number of virtuous poor
with a small sum of money a^ an outfit,
and when these girls, sayv twenty or
thirty, present themselves t/o the trustees
as candidates for that do wer, and the
will only provides for six such mar
riages, all tne girls must step up to the
urn and draw a lot. Of course, out of
the twenty or thirty girls who have
qualified only six can be the lucky ones.
These six are not entitled to the dower
until all the legal arrangements for the
marriage are goue through. There are
always plenty of young workmen, either
day laborers or mechanics, who are ready
to accept a girl’s hand and the $25 or
§30 dower, for she has had to go through,
a rigid examination as to her honesty,
neatness, etc.
I very often see the announcements in
the daily 1 * flap ers of such marriages, and
one attracted my attention more than
usual on account of the length of time the
testator had been dead whose funds were
to annually benefit these virtuous girls.
I translate the advertisement literally as
follows:
Marriages.—Tho Trustees of tbe Monte
Capaldo Chapel, of the Church of San Salva
tore of Fietra Sane (in Naples), make known
to the public that on the second Sunday of
September, 1S&8, at 12 m., lots will be drawn
for three marriages, each successful person
receiving the sum of 111) francs ($24) left by
the will of Ciesar Capaldo, who died in 1(510,
and left such sums in favor of three young
women who will qualify themselves, which
qualification must take place on or before the
tith of September. The following are the
qualifications: 1. They must be descendants
of the testator; 2. They must be marriage
able (whatever that may mean); 3. They
must be honest and poor: and 4. They must
not bo over twenty-five years of age.
Now here we have a provision made
differently from the usual run, in that
the candidates for this lottery must be
the poor descendants of the testator.
Just fancy that will made for such a
purpose by a man who died ten years
before a pilgrim placed his font on
Plymouth Rock, and that it is faithfully
carried out!—Paris R(/inter.
Two American -Girls See Bismarck.
I went to Beriir from Dresden for two
weeks with my cousin Cissy, says a letter
to tho Boston Trans/ript, and we both
wanted so much to see Bismarck. Every
body said that, being there such a short
time, we could never see him in the
world, because there were hundreds of
Germans who had never been able to do
so, and still had lived their whole lives
long in Berlin. So I thought there was
nothing to do except to write him a note
and ask him if he wouldn’t allow Cissy
and me to look at him. I found my
pen and paper, and I wrote: “Prince
Bismarck, two English girls who are
only in Berlin for a short time are
anxious to see the greatest man in the
world and want to know if you could
grant them an audience.”
I signed it with my name, and when I
directed it “Prince Bismarck,” I felt just
as if I were directing it to Santa Clnus,
or to some one up in Heaven. Cissy and
I took it up to the palace. We walked
by the sentries and through the big
courtyurd up to the front door. The
butler stood there, oh! so stern and
grim, and refused at first to take my
note, but when I said: “Why, you must
take it; don’t you see it is to Prince Bis
marck?” he frowned more than ever and
took it.
If you can believe it that very night
while we were sitting at supper there
came a letter with a great seal on the
back directed to Miss Percy Jones. The
people at our pension were so curious
that I wouldn’t open it beforo them, and
we could scarcely wait for the time to
come when we could get to our rooms.
Finally it did come, however, and I
read: “Prince Bismarck will grant the
young ladies an interview at. twelve
o’clock to-morrow.” We were so excited,
Cissy and I, and we began to be awfully
scared, too. After we got into our night
gowns wo rehearsed court reverences two
hours bofose we went to bed, and we
said over long German speeches such as
we thought it would be proper to make
to him. The next morning we put on our
best clothes and our new English hats
and started out for the palace. The sen
tries didn’t look nearly so ferocious as
they did the day before, and the butler
smiled and smiled, as if he had never
known how to do anything but smile.
We were shown into a large dark hall,
and l6aid:
“Oh, dear me, Cis*y, what if Prince
Bismarck should come and speak to us
while we are in this dark place. There
isn’t one thing here that I could make
conversation about.
But just then Heir von Rottenberg,
the Prince's secretary, came and told us
that the Prince wa i in the garden and
would receive us there. I never shall
forget how the gaiden looked. There
was a long path in front of us, with a
beautiful foliage meeting abovo it; the
green leaves rustled, the little shadows
played all over the ground, and Prince
Bismarck came walking down the path
with his dogs on either side of him.
“How do you do? I am very glad to
see you.’’
, He looked so jolly that I didn’t feel
.afraid of him any more, especially when
he turned to me t(nd exclaimed:
'“Is that the kind of hats you wear
in England? Horrible! They are too
high.”-
Then .we all walked down the path.
Cissy with him, and I with the Herr von
Rottenberff, until after a while I thought
that Cissy had been with him long
enough, because I wrote the note, you
know. So I just stepped forward, mean
ing to pull heff.slyly by the dress, and
just as I did it Prince Bismarck looked
' then ftls, laughed all over. I
at me, and'
walked with him the* rest of the time,
and he showed us his flowers, and ]
praised every single floVer and said how
beautiful and howlovely^it was, and w*
petted the dogs and \praised them.
Finally he took us to theVKoniggratzei
street entrance into they garden and
wished us good-by, and we^managed to
toll him how very, very kind yie thought
he had been to us. The great gate
ened and shut; everything was over,

Taking up a sharp sickle aud seizing a

point of the sickle into his finger ana
left him disabled, giving him a trite il
