Cultivation of Fruit*— Strawberries.
My system of strawberry culture in
the first place is in the manner of prepar
ng the ground and setting. Take well
rotted manure from the stable, cover the
ground thoroughly, then plow under and
pulverize thoroughly. Mark off your
ground in rows four feet apart for gene
ral cultivation, set the plants two feet
apart; set in August if the ground is
damp enough, then you will have fruit
the next season. The first season is the
trying time for young plants. They
should be thoroughly cultivated and
hoed the whole season, to keep out all
grass and weeds. I)o not stop just as
harvest commences, thinking they will
take care of themselves the rest of the
season, but continue the work as late as
puslev, pigeon grass, etc., trouble. You
will find you will be well paid in fruit
the next season by so doing. Mulch
slightly with leaves or coarse straw, or
what is better, chip manure. Early in
the spring take the hand and brush away
the manure just enough to allow the
plant to come through, the balance will
keep the ground moist, and will insure a
good crop of fruit, unless the earth should
become very dry.
The varieties recommended for general
cultivation, are Wilson, green prolific,
Col. Cheney, and Crescent seedling.
For early fruit set the Duchess; late the
great American, Kentucky and cham
pion. For profit I prefer the Crescent,
as it ripens earlier than the Wilson, lasts
longer,yields double,and from one-fourth
to one-half larger, is best of all, will keep
out the grass and weeds more thorough
ly than any other variety. It will give
tiie most profit from the least amount of
labor. They yielded this season over
14,000 quarts per acre under ordinary
culture. For late varieties would
recommend the champion, Kentucky,
Col. Cheney and great American. This
last named variety took the first premium
for the ten largest and the one largest
berry at the New York Horticultural
society, June 20, 1878, being
the largest variety yet cultivated;
the largest one measuring 14.} inches in
circumference. Of the new varieties, we
have the Sharpless originated in 1875
by J. K. Sharpless, of Pa. This variety
was sent to the Paris Exposition, measur
ing 12} inches in circumference. Next
comes President Lincoln, 11} inches.
Forest rose', Essex-beauty, pioneer, Cen
tennial favorite, and red jacket are
varieties well worthv of trial.
Will strawberry culture pay? It will.
No crop you can raise will yield as large
profits for the outlay as the strawberry.

The high price that this fruit brings in
market should induce at least the at
tempt to grow more extensively than we
see it tried. The borer, one of the chief
troubles in some places, should not deter
the people from planting, as this is easily
kept off. The blight also can be controlled
to some extent by letting the trees grow
bushy, and planting one or two trees near
the house where the soap suds of the wash
days could be thrown around the trunk,
would almost insure a crop of fruit. In
the East we had no trouble in growing
them on any good soil, but the finest ever
grown on our ground was on trees near
the drain from the kitchen, and one tree
that stood near the well, the pump of
which was used by a number of families,
and the waste water flowed over the roots
all summer. This thing of wet feet for
trees and vines depends very much upon
the subsoil; if porous and the water can
sink awav and never become stagnant the
trees will flourish. The quince in par
ticular is partial to deep, rich, moist soils
and it is in such situations that they
yield the finest fruit.
EHeela of Mnnuriug Orclumls.
To cultivate an orchard is like culti
vating any crop—it benefits it, increasing
the fertility, and serving as a mulch in a
drouth if the surface is mellow. But
manure may be substituted for cultiva
tion with good effect. The benefit in
either case is derived from the surface
without disturbing the roots. This is
accessary to prevent harming them, the
point being to reach the roots with the
required nutriment, and manure will do
this in all eases, whether grain or grass
is grown, if enough be given for both
trees and crop. Now, the most desirable
thing in an orchard is a rich turf, kept
smooth and green by frequent cutting
as with a lawn. I care not how near
the surface the roots may be, the nearer,
the more is the grass covering needed—
coolest of all mulches. It is wanted to
protect from the drviug winds and the
rays of the sun, as also from frost and
severe changes of temperature,which cul
tivation fails to do. I have obser
ved one thing largely, and can not
be mistaken about it, which is that not
enough enrichment is given to the
thick turf and maintain it, it is certain
evident that the trees also get their sup
ply if the roots are near the surface. If
running well down, as in deep, rich soil,
cultivation has little effect. Top-dress
ing, therefore, Avill answer the purpose of
enrichment. But let it be sufficient to
provide the necessary growth of the trees
irrespective of the grass,which of course
will also be benefited, and to a full ex
tent from necessity as the manure passes
down, and the excess thus reaches the
roots of the trees. Where the soil is
deep and rich enough to support the
trees, of course the surface can lie kept
in permanent grass.
An orchard can thus be made orna
mental, the trees arranged and trimmed
to suit fancy, or swine or sheep can be
turned in to keep down the grass and
pick up the fallen wormy fruit. I sec
no necessity for cultivating any orchard
when the result can be secured equally
well without, as it may, and in a more j
pleasant way. It is grass instead of the !
naked ground, and manure is only ap- j
plied as needed. This all has to be done
additionally to cultivation in most eases
to meet the demands of the trees. A
lawn' in order to maintain a perfect ;
green, requires top-dressing, which helps j
also its trees. So with an orchard. In
both cases where the ground is deep and
rich, manuring may be dispensed with.
After a thick sod is established, mere
clipping goes on a great way towards
maintaining the growth. It is only in ,
wliallow or ]*oor soil that additional on- j
ri'iment ia '
fertilizers, such as bone dust, guano,
gypsum, etc., may be used. They are
easily applied and not offensive. Oc
casionally a coat of fine, well-rotted
manure may need to be given, which
should always be done in the fall.—]F.

Ferlilil.v of Dairy Fanil**.
Much nonsense is circulated in regard
to the rapid loss of fertility of daily
farms, by reason of the carrying away
of the phosphates in the milk. Now
1,000 pounds of milk contains about
four to five pounds of phosphates, of
which nearly the whole is phosphate of
lime. Of this less than one half is phos
phoric acid. Therefore 5,000 poundsof
milk contains but seven and one half
pounds of phosphoric acid, which may
be taken as the yearly consumption, in
this way, of each cow.
As wheat bran contains 29 per centum
of phosphoric acid, it needs only that
about 250 pounds of bran be fed to each
cow yearly to replace the draught upon
the soil. There are few dairy cows that
are fed less than this quantity of bran or
some feed equivalent to it, and it is pret
ty certain very little, if any, phosphoric
acid is really taken from the soil of the
dairy farm. On the contrary, to say
nothing of the natural supply in the
soil, which slowly becomes soluble,
there is good reason to believe that every
well-kept dairy farm becomes gradually
richer in phosphates every year.
FARM VOTES.
In a recent discussion of the profits
of wheat-growing in England, the
curious fact was developed that the
product of the straw has become
in that country more important than
that of the wheat. This is not
because the yield of wheat, in pro
portion to the straw, is less than formally,
but it is due to the fact that straw is now
so extensively used in chopped food for
animals, and enters into so many manu
factures, that there is a demand for all
that is raised, and it brings a good price.
This is true to some extent in our older
farming sections, and especially in those
towns near large cities where a consider
able demand exists for wheat straw.
The celebrated English farmer, Aider
man J. J. Mechi, of Tiptree Hall, has
but six acres of permanent pasture, and
yet manages to keep as an average 200
sheep, and from fifteen to twenty head
of cattle. All food is cut up, no roam
ing at large is allowed, and supplemen
tal food is invariably given. The sheep
are always within iron-hurdled folds,
removed morning and evening.
Good Cultivation.—Mr. Littledale,
who has a farm on the Mersey, opposite
Liverpool, England, keeps eighty-five
cows and fifteen working horses on the
procjjice *i eighty acres of land. One
acre of land to support a cow is con
sidered a small pattern in America. This
fact shows what thorough cultivation
will do.
Wheat Notes.—ln comparing the
E rices of wheat now with those of the
tst 17 years it should be borne in mind
that the present rates are in specie, while
the former rates were in depreciated
greenbacks. The crops of 18G4, ’66 and
’67 for instance, brought unusually high*
prices, averaging in Illinois, according to
the Illinois crop report, $1.55, $1.93 and
$1.97 per bushel respectively, while the
present crop has been selling for
about 87c. But in July, 1864, a dol
lar greenback was worth only 38.7
cents, so that $1.55 a bushel amounted
only to 60c. in coin. At the same date
in 1866 the soft dollar was to 66c. specie,
and $1.93 amounted only to $1.28 in
hard money. In 1867 the greenback dol
lar was equal to 71c., and $1.97 was
about $1.41 in coin. Moreover, the crops
of the two last years were very short, so
that what our farmers gained by high
prices they lost by scant sales.
The produce exchange of New York is
S reparing to adopt the cental system in
ealingin agricultural produce. Instead
of 8,000 bushels of wheat, the present
boat-load, they will buy 4,800 centals,
and instead of 10,000 bushels of oats,
they will trade for 3,200 centals. Bids
will also be raised or lowered by tenths
of a cent instead of by quartern ami
eighths, as at present. The system is al
ready in practice in California, and its
adoption here will greatly simplify busi
ness transactions.
“Arnold’s Gold Medal Wheat is ap
parently our best cropper here,” writes
to us Professor C. E. Thorne from
Columbus, Ohio. “Next coma Velvet
Chat!’ and Silver Chaff. We are much
plea#d whli the latter on account of the
stitiiwss <.t its straw, hardness of its
grain, and its freedom from disease.
The Clawson has ranked third in the list
this year. Its straw seems to be growing
softer, but its grain appears to be improv
ing in its flouring properties.”
In Illinois the acreage and yield of
spring wheat have declined greatly this
year. In twenty-two counties not an
acre of it was sown; in eleven counties
less than fifty acres were sown, while
seven more counties have had less than
one hundred acres apiece. Only three
counties produced no winter wheat.
The total quantity of spring wheat is
estimated at only 3,376,400 bushels,
while the winter wheat is put down at
42,041,252 bushels.
Careful calculations by two of Eng
land s best agricultural statisticians,
Thomas Scott and Arthur H. Savory, go
to show that English farmers cannot
continue wheat-growing at the market
prices of the present season. Their
figures show that the average cost of
home-grown wheat was $1.47j per
bushel, while the price of it was only
$1.21.
The English Board of Trade makes all
its returns of agricultural products by
weight, in cwts. of 112 pounds, so tha't
each cwt. of wheat equals two bushels of
6G pounds each, while the ordinary Eng
lish bushel of wheat contains 61 pounds.
The acreage under wheat in Great
Britain for the last three years has been:
1877, 3,168,540; 1878, 3,218,417, 1879
2,890,136 acres. _
In view of recent w.avy rains in Eng
land, the Mark Lane Express predicts
an early advance in the price of bread
stuffs.

How to Preserve a Piano.
It is evident that if the piano is to re
main in good order for many years good
care must be taken of it. The instru
ment should be closed when not in use,
in order to prevent the collection of
dust, pins, etc., on the sounding board.
However, it must not be left closed for a
period of several months or longer, but
be opened occasionally, and daylight
allowed to strike the keys, or else the
ivory may turn yellow. And hard sub
stance, no matter how small, dropped in
side the piano, will cause a rattling, jar
ring noise. It is in every case desirable
that an india-rubber or cloth cover should
protect the instrument from bruises and
scratches. The piano should not be
placed in a damp room, or left open in a
draft of air. Dampness is its most dan
gerous enemy, causing the strings and
tuning-pins to rust, the cloth used in the
construction of the keys and action to
swell, whereby the mechanism will move
sluggishly, or often stick altogether.
This occurs chiefly in the rainy season;
and the best pianos, made of the most
thoroughly seasoned material, are neces
sarily affected by dampness, the absorp
tion being rapid. Extreme heat is
scarcely less injurious. The piano should
not be placed very near to an open fire
or heated stove, nor over-close to the hot
air furnaces now in general use. Moths
are very destructive to the cloth and
felt used in the pianos, and may be kept
out of it by placing a lump of camphor,
wrapped in soft paper, in the inside
corner, care being taken to renew it from
time to time. Many persons are un
aware of the great importance of having
their pianos kept in order, and only
tuned by a competent tuner. Anew
piano should be tuned at least once
every two or three months during the
first year, and at longer intervals after
ward. To preserve the polish, dust the
piano daily with a brush of soft uncut
feathers. Do not use any furniture
polishes, but sooner employ the services
of a professional piano-case polisher, if
your instrument needs polishing, as the
process requires great skill. The bluish
naze which sometimes appears on a
polished rosewood surface, and which is
nothing but the mark left by moisture
which has settled upon the piano, will
disappear after polishing. The piano
should always be kept carefully covered
when not in use.
A Wedding Episode.
The following thrilling story, which
has been prepared especially for the
English market, appears in the San
Francisco Post: “At a wedding in
South Carolina last month an incident
occurred aptlv illustrating social life in
the United States. The bridegroom,
who belonged to the ‘first Southern
families,’ took exception to the phras
eology of the officiating clergyman, and
remarked: ‘You shouldn’t say those
uns whom the Lord joined together, but
them, uns.’ The preacher, who prided
himself upon the ‘high toned’ quality
of his language, quietly dropped his
hand into the pocket of his surplice
and interpolated: ‘You jist paddle
your own canoe, young feller, or youi
trouble’ll begin sune enuff. I’m runnin*
this tea party, I am—as I before,
my beloved hearers—Those uns as the
Lord ’. Just then the bridegroom
-mate a motion toward his hip, but be-
could draw the minister fired
from nt pocket, and the young man fell
dead a? his feet. Instantly the whole
church was filled with blazing pistols.
In less than five seconds the only person
left alive was the bride, who had ducked
behind the pulpit Andy in the action.
The half-married female gazed musingly
around, and remarked as she started fo
home: ‘ These rflf-cocking revolvers is
playing the jpsiroliief ’round here, and
that’s a fact!^^
A Nov I/kignagc.
The language of Hostage stamps, in
stead of flowers, haFjust been invented.
Thus, when a postage stamp has been
placed upside down on the left corner
of the letter, it means, “I love you;”
in the same crosswise, “My heart is an
other’s;” straight up and dowD, “Good
bye, sweetheart, good-bye;” upside down
in the right-hand corner, “Write no
more;” in the centre at the top, “ Y'es;”
opposite at the bottom, “No;” on the
right-hand-corner at a right angle, “ Do
you love me?” in the left-hand-corner,
“I hate you;” top corner on the right,
“ I wish your friendship;” bottom corner
on the left, “I teek your acquaintance:”
on a line with the surname, “accept
my love;” the same upside down, “I
am engaged;” at a right angle in the
same place, “I long to see you;” in the
middle at the right-hand edge, “ Write
immediately.”
While this is all very good as far as it
goes, those who put a postage stamp on
any but the upper-riglit-hand corner of
an envelope, must hold themselves re
sponsible for ail the swearing of the post
office clerks.

Here is his style of logic: “Is this thing

Is this other thing not so? Certainly
not, [Long, continued applause.] Then,
my friends I have proved that this thing
is so. Agreed. Then I have also, per

not so. Agreed. And, my friends, I
am willing to prove this to the whole
country.” [Deafening applkuse.]
