STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

A writer in the Amfrican Farmer gives
q few plain rules which he says, if followed
to the letter, will prove themselves good
rules. They are, lst. Never have the
beds so wide as to require the gatherer
even to lean on them. I'd. Never use
animal manure. Sd. Keep the beds clear
of weeds and grass. 1 find that any time
from August to the blooming season will
answer for transplanting. ] he first requi-
site is to have the beds in good order.
Lay them off five feet wide, then spread
evenly over them good coat Of well rotted
woodpile manure or wood mould, which is
to be deeply spadcd in. During moist
or rainy spell set the plant in three rows
and from IL to q inches apart in the row.
/ never permit the runners to take entire
possession of my beds, but keep them back
by pinching in the spring, land fall weed
ing BY this treatment my beds are pret-
ty well covered without being matted
After the fall wedding, the beds are sowed
over with wood ashes, and during the car
ly winter, as there are opportunities, they
are covered over with wood pile manure or
spent tan. During the carly spring, when
the beds are covered with young green
leaves, they are well busted with plaster or
shell lime, and when the blooms show
themselves, they are again sowcd over with
ashes. These sowings are always made in
damp weather. This comprises the entire
culture required to ensure this fruit in
perfection.

BARLEY FOR HENs.-There is not one
grain SO well suited as food for hens. Bar.
ley when fed with oats and corn, will often
be gathered first by the fowls, and hens
fed with more or less barley, are said to
lay more freely.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNEss.-The follow
ing is the receipt of John Vine Hall, the
father of the commander of the Great East

WHITEwAsH.-If you add about one
pound of dissolved glue to every ten gall
Ions of lime whitewash, it will adhere in a
superior manner to outside buildings, and
its appearance will not be altered, but you
must not expect it to adhere like paint.
A little sweet milk added will render il
more durable.

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal maady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the oxpurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTnoSY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIrELAs, PDpLEs, PusTuIEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYpHILITIc and MEnouRIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY. and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VIrIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impHity ofthe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and rcgeneratc this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
porvados the whole body. and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venerool infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
istituton, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities OF the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccroIs matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous coustitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in-
fecton, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine. and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

Col 3. H. Prentiss, commanding at Cai~

unanimous vote, Brigadier General Of the
six Illinois regiments. So says cur special
dispatch. We presume the election will
not he legally valid until the commissioned
officers Of the other three regiments (Col.
Wsuace's, Col Cooks and Col. Near
thur's) have voted There are 1893 ccm-
miasioned officers in the six regiments en-.
titled to yote. There can be no doubt Of
Col. Prentiss'' election.
The capacity Of this able officer Tor his
important command has been proved, not
only in Mexico, but in his new sphere Of
patriotic duty, We predict that the Illinois
troops will neverregret the day when they
chose Benjamin II Prentiss as their
highest field officer. ...
