Cultivation OF the strawberry.


At a recent meeting of the Farmers Club
at Concord, the following remarks on the
cultivation of the strawberry were delivered
by John B. Moore:
~ have tried various modes, single rows,
beds and hills, but wore now intending to
grow them to any extent, I should adopt the
following method In April or may, hav-
the land plowed and narrowed fine, work
in manure enough to last two years, and pro-
ceed to plant in rows three feet apart; then
SOW between each row a row of turnips,
beets or some other Vegetable that the crop
could be gathered in August; keep the
ground free from weed, allowing the plants
to spread as much as they please.
The next spring, as soon as tho land is
dry enough to work, spade over the ground
ono foot wide where the rows of bed stood,
which will leave the beds of Strawberries
two feet wide which was dug over making
the paths, then thin the plants where too
thick. About the first week in june, mulch
the paths with fresh cut grass, when every
thing is done but gathering and marketing
the crops. After they arc all gathered,
which will be from the 5th to the 10th Of
July, put on dressing of manure, and
plough with sod plough; turn over smooth
ly, sow with rutabaga, or corn, or oats fol
fodder.
My reasons for this course are the follow
ing. The first year the crop of vegetable:
between tho rows will pay the expenses
and the Strawberries are easily managed
Al, III
stocked with plants; the second year you
will get full crop without much labor and
and little annoyance from weeds; if you un-
dertake to weed out and continue tho bed
another year, you will have an endless jot
of wedding in very busy time of the yeal
and if you go to the trouble, your crop vii
be much smaller than the first year. By
following this plan I think they can be pro
duced much cheaper than otherwise.--Neu
England Farmer.

 been advised from San Francisco of his tin- tended departure for Lome were waiting for the George Law on her arrival, and brought him on a litter to the Battery Hotel, where they have since watched over him. With that modesty which generally distih- guishcs true merit, Mrs. Patton begged to be excused from speaking about herself She said
 that she had done no more than her duty, and
 as the recollection of her trials and sufferings
 evidently gave her pain, we could not do oth-
 erwse than respect her feelings. Few persons
 would imagine that the woman who behaved
 so bravely, and endured so much for her hus-
 bands sake, is slender New England girl, scarcely twenty years old. She is lady of
 medium height, with black hair, large, dark,
 lustrous eyes, and very pleasing ft atures. Her health is very much impaired from the hard ships which. she has undergone, and she is very near the period of maternity Yet she does not spare herself in the least but is most faithful and constant in her attentions to her husband. We have been informed that she is in straitened circumstances, and although she doubtless would shrink from assistance from others, yet it seems to us that this is a case in which our merchants may do themselves honor by q liberal recognition of her heroic conduct The Board of Underwriters, VIC understand, have voted, or will vote her 5000. Consider ing that the ship and cargo were worth nearly $350, 900, and that to her skill and decision they are mainly indebted for it's safety, under most adverse circumstanccs-for the weather was unus ually seyere-we think, looking at the matter from a purely pecuniary point of view, the least they should have done would have been to give her a check for 5000. Not only did she safely take the ship from Cape Horn to San Francisco, but both vessel and cargo were in better trim than any of her con- petito's when she reached port. Of course, the owners of the ship will do handsomely by Mrs. Patton but were the merchants of New York to make up 6 liberal purse, it would prove highly acceptable to the widow (as she almost certainly soon will bel and her small family.
