Strawberries.

Don't neglect your strawberry -bedsl-
Those that we're left dirty last fall should
be carefully cleaned out now. White clo-
yer and yellow sorrel are two of the ever
lasting pests of fruit-garden. Root
them out, or they will root out your best
plants. No halfway measures will an
swer for them-they must be extirpated
and upon the clover you can not begin
too soon. Don't be afraid of tearing out
a strawberry plant here and there. All
beds or patches over two years old, have
three or four times IS many plants in them
as they ought to have. A Ajudicious thin
ning-o out is one of the very things they
need; and this can be effected in the act
of wedding, without consuming any addi-
tional time. If your strawberries are
planted in rows, you can work them with
spade and hoe; if they are not, you must
put your strawberry-fork in among them
--and the sooner it is done, the better.
Remember that the strawberry requires
good preparation of the ground, and good
culture. If these. can not be bestowed
upon it, it had better be let alone. Louis

Trimming Orchards.

Young orchards of three or four years
standing should be looked over, so you
may cut all branches which would injnre
the good shape of the head, or which out
grow the rest of the limbs; and this can
be taken as rule for standards, dwarfs,
or trees trained against wall. In prun-
ming, cut out first all dead wood and mat.
ted limbs, to admit air and sun, as sun is
as much needed for trees as for the far
mer and gardener; when this is done, cut
out every shoot that rubs against another,
and remove all weak twigs. Don't prune
too much ie More harm is done by over
pruning trees than natural growth. Fruit
may be small and poor, but by over-rrun-
ing lis very likely to be altogether absent.
8 Consider that fruit-trees are grown for
the sake Of the fruit, and not as objects
of decoration. A skillful pruner will in
crease quality, and better ripening; but
one thing is certain, the more apple-trees
or pear-trees are pruned the less they bear.
Don't forgot to scrape off all loose bark
and moss from trunk and limbs. ana burn
the scrapings. to destrop eggs and in
sects. ~ [.l.fj -. .g.

Planting Chinese Sugar Cane.

Select the highest and dryest land, bor-
dering upon sand, mari or clay, and avoid
as much as possible the black prairie
muck, which grows large, course cane,
not very sweet and is later iu ripening.
Plow deep and ridge the same as for
corn; plant on the ridges from to 81 feet
each way, it being less trouble to tend
than when drilled, and will produce as
much juice. .- a.
Soak the seed in warm water until
about ready to sprout; plant as early as
the ground will admit, and not later than
the last of May; cover from ! to Z of an
inch deep; cultivate two plants to hill;
allow it to stool all it will, keep it clean
until about three feet high, when it will
take care of itself.

THE FRUIT.-We are glad to learn
that though we, here in Tennessee, shall
be pretty nearly deprived entirely of fruit
the present year, our neighbors, in the
States both north and south of US, will
enjoy the luxury of plenty. In Kentucky
and Ohio, the fruit has been very little, il
at all, injured by the late frosts which slew
all of our prospects; while in Georgia,
South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana,
they are in a fair way, from present indi-
cations, to have an abundant yield. Nash

Hints for the Season.

l. Keep your cattle we'll well fed, oxen
especially, which are now working hard.
Pasture.feed is still scant, and it is better
to let it grow than be nipped off before
it has got q fair start. Take care and
do not let your cattle change suddenly
from dry to green feed. +
2. Sow Spring grain as soon as the
ground is in order. Oats, if put in early,
will grow better, and produce heavier
kernel and crop. Too much sun and
heat stint the growth and shrivel the
grain. l5
( 3. See that your meadows are in good
order-that fences are in repair, and cattle
kept out, If there are any bare spots,
sow grass seed upon them. Destroy this
ties, mulleins, and other weeds, wherever
they are tobe SEEN, It may be done now
easily. ,s,.. \ g3aWt4a Al n
4. Prepare, ground, for sowing root
crops, by manuring thoroughly, and plow-
ing deeply. Carrots and all long taper
ing roots require q very deep soil, and in
proportion to its depth and richness will
the roots be long and large. They can
not penetrate a hard-pan sub-soil. Stony
ground is also Objectionable for such a
crop, as the roots come it contact with the
stones and become crooked, stinted and
branch into fingers and toes Ohio Far.

then applying after dissolving in water
white yitrol (sulphate of zinc) in the
