The CULTURE OF THE SrRAwBERRY.-Select
warm, moist, but exposed situation for
early berries, let it slopo to the east or south;
for late ones to the north. The soil should
be fine, gravelly loan. Avoid high, barren
soil, make it clean, underdrain, leaving the
drain open at both ends to allow the circu-
lation Of air. Pulverizo at least two feet in
depth, making 10 per cent of the soil as fine
as superfine four. For manurcs, apply 30
bushels OF unleachcd ashes and l2 bushels of
lime Stacked with water holding bushels OF
salt in solution to the acre. Transplanting
should be done with great cart, and the root
lets of the plant injured as little rs possible.
The best time to transplant il in the Spring,
though with care it may be done any time
during the summer. The lecturer said he
should 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
mulching with tan bark, straw or some such
material to the depth Of half an inch, no
more. This keeps down weeds and keeps all
but the strongest runners from taking root.
Water may be added with great advantage
in large quantities, except during Towering
and ripening periods, provided 1t does not
stand and become stagnant on the soil. After
this preparation little attention is needed.
The hoe should never be about the plants, as
it Injuries the roots. Field culture differs
little from garden culture. The productive
n 8, of the strawberry about New York does
net average moro than forty bushels per
n,r,. There is no difficulty in raising $50
bus sicls under the cultivation he recommen-
ded. In the winter plants should be lightly
covered. The strawberry may be made over
bearing by entirely preventing tho growing
of the runners. This NAV be done by plant
ing in soil composed Of thrce-quarters river
san | and one.quarter woods-mould. The
staminatc and pistilate plants need not bo
grown within thirty or forty feet Of each
9th r. Seedlings are easily raised. The
analysis of the plant differs in different places
the best different varieties are W ilson's Seed
lings. Hooker's Seedlings, Longworth's Pro-
life, uoycy's Seedlings and Burr's New
Pine. There are many Others nearly as good.
Wilson's Seeding is very prolific, 26O berries
many of them large ones, have been grown
on singlc plant.-Leeture By r. 6. Pordoe.

cow there should bc as much mildness, amia-
bility and beauty. in the head, eyes, and

not oil nonsense to say; \ good cow
should be as pretty as n school ma'am. -
Good lungs are another requisite Of good
mixer. and an important one. Witaout
them the milk is unhealthy, partaking OF the
constitution Of the animal. In conclusion,
the writer remarks:
"In selecting mixer, look well to the
udder. Before milking, it should be wide
and broad, not hanging down like a sack !;
and hard and shiny, nearly destitute of hair,
and what there is should bc short, fine and
bright. After milking, the udder should be
soft, and apparently skin-bag. II, after
milking, the udder Is hard and full, it shows
that il is flesh, and not milk, that distendsit.
A thin skin, and soft, glossy hair, is an in.
dex to the texture of the whole animal. II
these are right. the whole animal may be
generally set down good"

Requisites for Making Good Buttor.


What are the requisites for making the
best butter?
There are few buttcr-makers who have
established such reputation for making the
very finest article, that all they canspare for
market is eagerly taken Mt several cents a
pound above the market price. So far rs we
know, they all adopt the following rules; OF
if they do not. they practice them:
/. A perfectly clean cellar, not only
clean from all dirt, but from every bad odor
pure, sweet, and fresh.
2. Perfectly clean, well aired vessels
Not an infnitessimal speck Of any foreign or
sour substance adhercs TO any Of them.
8. Churnins before the cream becomes
old.
4. Securing such temperature that II
will require about half an hour Tor churn-
ins-if performed much sooner, a loss Of but
ter must occur. and il is not 80 good.
5. Work all the buttcrmilk out, which is
rarely done-and work no longer. which is
still more rarely, but sometimes done.
6. Use the purcst salt-and add an ounce
to pound.
!. Pack the butter in the jars or 6rkins
,oEd-pat as much in small space as pos
sible.
8. Lastly. and first also, provide good
sweet pasture. and plenty Of perfectly pure
water for the cows at all times.
1T any have practiced all these, and have
not succeeded, we should like to hear from
them. IL Is proper to state, however, that
there are some who assert that their vessels.
&c. are clean, when in fac, they are FAR from
n
