Mr.. r. G. Pardee, of New York
City, gave his first lecture this after
noon on the Strawberry. He came, he
said to speak Of facts not theories.
He had tried to grow strawberries for
many years by high culture, but with
out success. He determined to expert
ment till he should discover the cause
of the failure. He had done so, and
could now grow them as cheaply as
potatoes. The following, according to
his experience, is the best method =
Select warm, moist, but exposed stu
alton; for early berries, let it slope to
to the East or South; for late ones, to
the North. The soil should be fine,
gravelly loan. Avoid high, barren,
soils, and those which are wet. To
prepare the soil, make it clean; under
drain, leaving the drain open at both
ends to show the circulation of air.
Pulverize at least two feet in depth,
making ten per cent. of the soil as fine
as superfne flour. For manures, APP
ply thirty Bushels of unleached ashes
and twelve bushels of lime Stacked
with water holding three bushels of
salt in solution to the acre. Trans
planting should be done with great
care, and the rootlets of the plant in
jured as little as possible. The best
time to transplant is in the Spring,
though with care it may be done any
time during the Summer. The lectur-
err said he would, in starting new
bed, place the plants three feet apart
each way, and allow them to spread
till they were only twelve inches from
each other. Nearer than this they
should never grow. The beds should
be mulohed with tan bark, straw or
some such material to the depth of
half an inch or more. This keeps
down weeds and keeps all but the
strongest runners from taking root.
Water may be. added with great ad-
vantage in large quantities, except dur
ing the Towering and ripening periods,
provided always it does not stand and
become stagnant on the soil. After
this preparation little attention is need
ed. The hoe should never be used
about the plants, as it Injuries the roots.
Field culture differs little from garden
culture. The productiveness of the
strawberry about New York does not
average more than forty bushels to the
acre. There is no difficulty in raising
$50 bushels under the. cultivation he
recommends. In the Winter the plants
should be lightly covered.
The strawberry may be made ever
bearing by entirely preventing the
growing of runners. This may be
done by planting in soil composed of
three-quarters river sand and one-quar-
ter woods-mould. This dwarfs the
plant and makes it ever-bearing. The
staminate and pistilate plants need not
be grown within thirty or forty feet of
each other. Seedlings, are easily
raised. The analysis of the plant diff
fers in different places. The best six
varieties are Wilson's Seedlings, Hook
er's Seeding, Longworth's Prolific,
Hovey's Seeding and Burr's New
Pine. There are many others nearly
as good. Wilson's Seeding is very
prolific; 260 berries, many of them
large ones, have been grown on sim
gle plant.

We were popping corn
Sweet Kitty and I,
Il danced about
And It danced up high.
The embers were hot,
In their fiery light;
And It went up brown,
And came down white:
White and beautiful,
Crimped and curled,
The prettiest fairy dance
In the world.
The embers were hot,
In the fairy light,
And it vent up brown,
And came down white
All! many time sars
Are the embers hot,
And the human spirit
Can brook it not;
Yet fadienf, forth
F-om that heavenly light,
Cometh transformed
And robed in white.
