FAwKE's STEAM PLow.-The Steam
Plow recently built in Cincinnati, for the
State of Illinois, is thus described in the
Commercial:
The Cincinnatus' has been built as
model for those required by Mr.. Sulliyant
on his broad estates in Illinois, whittier it
was shipped last evening. The engine is
of forty horse power, weighs nine and a
half tons, and draws eight large prairie
breaking plows," each one of which is
quite equal for performance to one of the
ordinary Illinois fashion, drawn by six or
eight oxen, and accomplishing its acre per
diem. The boiler is, of course vertical,
to enable the locomotive to ascend hill
sides, and has tender carrying ten bar
rels of water, that being about one-fourth
the amount required for days steaming.
The machine is so arranged as to be en-
tirely under the control of the driver or
engineer, whose cab" or standing room
is admirably placed for overlooking all
parts of the Plow, as we'll as the Prairie
Sea, whose fertile surface he is to 'sYex
with his iron heels We shall await the
first practical performance of ''Cincinna-
tus " in field every way worthy of this
grand conception.

THE STRAWBERRY.

Mr.. r. G. Pardee, of New York, in
J lecture at Yale College, on the strawberry,
saws:
The following, to cultivate that fruit, is
the best method :, Select d warm, moist.
but exposed situation, fer early berries, let
1t slope to the east or south for late ones
to the north. The soil should be a fine
gravelled loan. Avoid high, barren soils,
and those which are wet TO prepare the
soil, make it clean; underdrain, leaving
the drain open at both ends, to allow the
circulation of air. Pulverize at least two
feet in depth, making ten per cent. of the
soil as fine as superfne -four. For manure,
apply thirty bushels of unleached ashes,
and twelve bushels of lime Stacked in wa
ter, holding three bushels of salt in solution
tothc acre. Trans-planting should be done
with great care, and rootlets of the plant
injured as little as possible. The best time
to transplant is in the spring, though, with
care, it may be done at any time during
the summer The lecturer said he would,
in starting a new bed, place the plants
three feet apart. Water may be added
WIFI great advantage, IN large quantities,
except during the Towering and ripening
periods, provided always. it does not stand
and become stagnant on the soil. The
hoe should never be used about the plants.

ness of the strawberry about New York
does not average more than forty bushels
to the acre. There is no difficulty in rails
ing one hundred and fifty bushels under
the cultivation recommended In the win

A YANKEE TRICK.

a week or two ago four creditors start
ed from Boston in the same train of cars,
for fhe purpose of attaching the property
of al certain debtor in Pennington, in the
Sta f. Of Maine. He owed each one sepa-
ratdy. and they each were suspicious of
the object of the, other, but dared not say
a word about'it. So they rode, acquain-
tances all, talking upon everything except
that which they had most at heart
When they arrived at the depot at Farm
ington, which was three miles from where
the debtor did business, they found moth
ing toput them over the road but solita-
ry cab, toward which they all rushed
Three got in and refused admittance to the
fourth, and the cab started
The fourth ran after and got upon the
outside with the driver He asked the
driver if he wanted to sell his horse. He
replied that he did not want to-that he
was not worth more than $50, but he
wouldn't sell him for that He asked him
ii he would take 500 for him. YES"
said he. The fourth man" quickly paid
over the money, took the reins and back
ed the cab up to bank-slipped it from
the harness, tipped it up so that the door
could not be opened, jumped upon the
horses back and rode off I" lick-a-ty-
switch, while the ''insiders - were look
ing out of the window feeling like singed
cats. He rode to a lawyers and got a
writ served, and his debt secure, and got
back to the hotel just as the insiders y
came up putting and blowing. The cab
man soon bought back his horse for $50.
The "sold men " offered to pay that sum
if the fortunate one, who found property
sufficient to pay his own debt. would not
tell of it in Boston.
