INSANITY AMONG FARMERS. We
learn by the late annual report of the
N. Y. State Lunatic Asylum, that a
large proportion of the inmates are farm
ers. This we have noticed in former
reports also. The fact has so frequent
ly attracted attention, that we will ven
ture to suggest solution. May not the
excessive ratio Of insanity among farm
ers arise from the comparatively seclud-
ed life of too many of them' The far
mer need not necessarily be hermit,
but frequently they become, gradually,
cremites, neglecting to visit their neigh
bors, thinking of their crops continually,
and brooding, perhaps over imaginary
losses. Man is a gregarious animal and
requires to have his social feelings graft
fed. If deprived of this pleasure, he
becomes morose and eccentric. This
may be verified by any person convers-
ant with rural districts, for it is in such
places that what are called I" odd char
acters" are generally found. Now &c.
centricity is but one remove from insan
ity, and often terminates in it. IF this
view of the case is correct, the life of a
farmer, however conducive to physical
health, is not the most favorable for the
harmonious play of the intellectual and
moral qualities.

AGRICULTURAL.
Bearing of the Strawberry.

The secret has been discovered, ant
put in practice by Mr.. G.. +. Peabody
one Of the editors of the Soil of III,
South for many years, not as a mere
theory or experiment, nor accidental
production, but as science study of
time successfully carried out for profit |;
for he sends his market wagon into the
city laden with this luxury from March
till September, and last year his vines
continued to ripen fruit until Christmas.
What is the secret our readers will
exclaim. What new variety? No other
than Houghton's Seeding, impregnated
with Early Scarlet, and kept continually
moist by artificial watering; for which
purpose he uses garden engine.
For four years Mr.. p. cultivated the
same variety in rich garden mould, ma
nuring literally every year, and at any
time during the summer could have
moved swath of green luxuriant vines,
which would have made very good hay,
but that was not what he wished to grow.
Failing to get good fruit by garden cul-
ture, he commenced the experiment
which for six years past has proved so
eminently successful. He cleared off a
strip of low land along little rivulet,
the soif of which is coarse sand and loose
gravel, intermixed slightly with clay, and
of course covered with forest mould
digging out the roots of thicket growth
of bushes sufficiently prepared the land.
The vines were then set in rows, six
of Hovey's and one of Early Scarlet,
and the surface has never since been
disturbed by spade or hoe, except so far
as going over the ground once or twice
a year to cut out here and there de-
cayed vine or bunch of grass or weeds
few of which, however, in conse-
quence of using no manure, ever
make their appearance neither do the
plants run vines, spreading all over the
surface every year as they did in the
garden. The whole strength seems to
be exerted for the production of large
rich berries to such degree that the
ground is red with fruit, not green with
leaves; anu tnls Is not upon little plot,
but over field of five acres
And does he never manure them Is
undoubtedly asked by every tyro in the
business of growing strawberry vines.
Mr. Peabody grows roots, stem and fruit
l repeat, he never manures, never digs
the ground, or turns up the old roots to
give place to new ones. In the fall he
gives slight dressing of the forest, and
covers the ground with leaves; these
remain till decayed, and serve to keep
the Berries clean during the long bear
ing season. This and the watering
every hot day when it does not rain, is
the great secret of growing Strawberries,
not only six months, but last year he
actually had them on his table every
month but two, January and February
