PiANrINo srnAwBenRrKs,- The present
month is the best time forsetting out straw
berries. IL they are expected TO bear next
year. Later than August on the 10Th of
sortember, they will hardly grow sufficient
" TO produce even half crop another sea-
son. Success in securing future crop will
greatly depend on the care and management
Of present planting. They are not difficult
with regard to osoil, il the ground is well pre-
pared and enriched. Plough o foot deep
and thoroughly incorporate the manure,
which should be chiefly Of vegetable origin,
with thesoil A wet time for transplanting
Is desirable. Twenty inches by twelve is
proper distance between the rows in gar
den, and three feet one way by niue inches
the other good field distance The last
distance gives the cultivator room to pass,
which saves much hoeiug. Strawberries
like moisture, not orly at transplanting,
but at fruiting, aud the labor of watering
can be greatly saved by mulcbng or cover
ing the ground with straw, tan, or sawdust
With regard to the best kinds there is
no longer any room for doubt Five prac-
teal and competent men, having the public
good at heart and without private interests
to serve in this matter, were recently ap-
pointed by the. American Institute to in
vestigate this subject and report the best
six varieties for cultivation. The following
were reported with almost entire unanimity:
l. Peaboay's Seeding fine fla
vored, independent propogaters, luxuriant
and hardy, splendid plant.
g. Wilson's Albany-Its primary good
qualities are productiveness, size, and
firm, juicy aesh 1t is, however, too acid
for the taste of many.
8. LoBgfellow's Prolifc-Early, large,
and Of excellent flavor moderatively pro-
ductive sometimes running too much to
leaf
L. Hooksr'G Seedling-Good size Of
. rich, sweet flavor moderately product
I've, (scms ssy vVy productive.
8. McAyoy's uperior--Productive large
and of excellent flavor berries often de-
fective in form.
6. Hovey's SeedliDg-This variety is
too well known to need any description
Its only defective is dryness and want of
high favor.
10 encourage new beginners in strawber-
~ cultivation, we will simply add that a
bushel of berries to square rod is very
common yield under favorable circumStan-
eeS.

CoNUNDRUM.--0cc Occasional" ;" the washing
ton correspondent Of the Philadelphia Press,
propounds the following
had propOnnded to me, day or two ago,
a horrid conundrum / send it to you as a
sample Of the extra stupid efforts of mind to
perpetrate some infinitessimal wit in that
line of literature. My guesses, you will per
ceive, were not as happy as those of Secreta-
Ty Goth about the custom house receipts,
30 much boasted of in the Constitution.
give the colloquy between the coRundrum
maker and myself exactly as it took place /:
"Why are the two big Bs-James G :.
Bennett, of Washington Heights, and James
Buchanan, Of Washington city-such aflec-
tion0te friends; and why have they such as
tonishing confidence in each other Z"
Because (I answered) they are both Of
noole Scotch extraction.
"Nonsensel say again" said my questioner.
Because they have such harmonious tastes.
"You havn't guessed yet"
Because they have eongenial souls.
''No"
Because they are both models of manly
beauty
Fact admitted, but that is not the an
swer."
Because they have the same love of truth
Farther off than before"
Because they have such delcacy of feel
ing and sentiment.
Worse and worse"
Because they both have such tender re-
gard for the feelings of Others.
"Pshaw !"
Because they both have the same admi-
ration Of virtue-"A mans" Wirtue TEN.
"Oh Gracious !"
Because they are both bright examples
Of consistent purity.
''Yhat won't do"
Because they have such nice sense of hon
or.
Everybody will laugh at that answer"
"Thats not the chief reason"
Because they both have such stupendous
abilities.
'That is a mistake also"
Because they both hate the Democracy
and seek its downfall.
Fact, but not applicable to the question"
Because they are both respected and pop
ular
"a sad error"
Because each uses, and each commands
and commends each other
THAT'S pretty good, but not the proper
answer"
What is it, then,. (said I)-I give it up.
For goodness sake, tell me, what Is the an
swer

cents Of solemn wisdOm) lit is, because nei-

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu.
merOus are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antdote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident TO climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded this
has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
