SOUTHERN FARM ANI) HOME 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. —-[Prairie Farmer. <luinceM. 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. G., in Country Gentleman. 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.

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’s Logic for You. Many people look upon A. H. Stephen’s as an enormous logician. Here is his style of logic: “Is this thing so? Certainly. [Applauseand'Good!’J 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 contra, proved that this other thing ia not so. Agreed. And, my friends, I am willing to prove this to the whole country.” [Deafening applkuse.] A Elrkad Mini Shf nld be Bailed.
