The CULTURE OF STRAwBERRIEs.--The

1.-THE bes, soil for The sire " berry YVES sta

be we'll drained, and 10 every acre applied
swen,y bushels Of unleached ashes, ten
bushels Of lime, and two or three pounds
Of salt. The ground should be well broke
up; animal manure should be eschewed
leaf is the best, and this should be careful
iy sPsded in. Abou, the frs, Of July is The
best time to Sc. out the plants. IN doing
this pains should be taken TO have them
firmly rooted. The roots should be eigh-
teen inches apart, and the plants a foo. a.
part.
Sometimes j! i'll be we'll to elbow grea-
ter interval, in which case the interslices
can be filed up from the growth Of the run
ners. After setting on. the plants, throw
on covering OF tan bark an inch or on inch
end belf in depth, then water them plenIi
fully. and The moisture will be retained a
long time. After cold weather comes on.
cover the straw berry beds and HE walks
with clean straw, throwing over a little
brush, or something 10 keep the straw in lis
place. 10 the Spring remove the straw and
make use Of some fersiliziog agent to give
,he plants vigor, as sulpha.e of soda, sui
plate Of ammonia, or nitrate Of potash
Keep the roofs out, see tina. the plants are
beautifully wa,ered, and let nothing inter-
vene TO disturb or re.ard their growth ill
you gather the fruit. The beds should be
made over as often as every three years."

ual Organs, whether in Male Female, from
whatever cause they may have originated and no
matter of how long standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease which,
when once seated iii the system, will surely go down
from one generation to another, undermining the
constitution and sappng the very vital fluids oflie,
do not trust yourself in the hands of quacks, who
start up every day and fill the papers with false
hoods, too well calculated to deceive the young and
those not acquainted with thertricks. You cannot
be too careful in the selection of remedy in these
cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounced
by eminent physicians the greatest remedy ever
known. 1t is IA medicine perfectly pleasant i'll its
taste and very innocent in its action, and yet so
thorough that it annihilates every particle of the
rank and poisonous virus of this dread dful disease :
and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up the
disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, broughton by self-abuse
most terrible disease which has brought thousands
of the human race to untimely graves thus blasting
the brilliant hopes of parents and blightingn in the
bud the glorious ambition of many noble youth
can be cured by this Intallible Remedy. And as
medicine which must benefit everybody, from the
simply delicate to the confined and desrairing nva-
lid, no equal is to be found, acting both as a cure
and preventive.
