Treatment of Strawberries in June.

Next after clean cultivation, they want
water or liquid manure. If the soil is q
light loan. gravelly, or arti6cially drained.
it can hardly have too much water. The
plants are either in full flower, or full OF
berries ripening from day to day. and they
need abundant supplies of moisture. The
days are at their greatest length and the
sun shines in ita greatest splendor. The
evaporation in one of these long bright sum
mer days is immense, and drouth just in
the critical time often diminishes the straw

OF great advantage, as it retains moisture as
we'll as keeps the fruit clean. We can only
get the largest berries with abundant water
ing. For the favor We are somewhat de-
pendent upon the sunshine. So great is the
advantage of watering that We think it would
often pay, even in field culture, to have an
apparatus for the purpose, like the water
carts for sprinkling city streets. In the gar
den is entirely practicable. with garden en-
CINE, hydropult, or common watering pot.
One Of the best methods to get plants for

as early in the month as practicable. An old
plant is surrounded with these pots, and the
runners strike their roots into them, and
form vigorous plants, which may be trans
ferred to the new bed about the first of Au-
gust. The roots are perfect and the plants
are not put back. Nearly . full crop ma y
be expected of such plants the first season
after the bed is prepared. OF course, old
plants that are used for propagating. cannot
be expected to do much else. A few of the
plants may be stuck in four inch pots. and
kept for the conservatory or parlor in the
winter. Both the flowers and the fruit are
ornamental.

TREASURY NOTES.


Il is reported that the Secretary of the
Treasury'has recently directed that twenty
five million of dollars, in Treasury notes
under the denomination OF Ave dollars, be
issued for circulation ss currency. This is
q capital move in the right direction. and
it would be 3 godsend to the people if pro-
vision were made for the whole indebted
ness of the Government by an issue OF
Treasury notes. receivable for public dues.
and legal tender in all payment. Such
notes would readily pass into general circu-
lation,r take the place OF local bank issues,
and equalize and regulate domestic ex-
changes.
4 Treasury note Is the National promise
TO pay. It is the pledge OF the whole people
repEesentediu and constituting the Govern
ment, and is secured by all the property OF
the country The National revenues would
make . sinking fund for the annual retire
ment of q certain amount of such notes, till
all are taken up and the Government is
again out of debt. Such National cur
rency would command public confidence.
and be at par in all the States. Il would
save the payment of millions of annual in
terest. and the people from oppressive taxa
ton. Then why not have It The people
want it. The business of the country would
absorb it. Who opposes it ? None but
those interested in private and corporate IS

heavy tax bill. and oppose treasury notes

locks. who want the Government to con-
tinue to issue bonds bearing interest. and
to exempt such bonds or stocks from taxa
ton, 80 that they can absorb all, and give
the people their rag promises, instead. They
want the United States stocks bearing in
terest for themselves, but desire to compel
the people to pay all the taxes, and take as

instances, worthless pader Issues. The ex-

The Postmaster requests as to inform
the public, that by the Regulations of the
Post Office Department, under recent acts
Of Congress,
/. The prepayment Of drop letters is
no longer optional, but all such letters
not prepaid by stamps, are sent promptly
TO the Dead Letter Office at Washington.
2. The law requiring notice to be given
Of unpaid letters is repealed. Postmas-
ters are directed to return TO the Dead
Letter Office "oU letters held for postage,
or attempted to be sent with stamps pre-
viously used, or stamps cut from stamped
envelopes, and unpaid letters for foreign
countries on which prepayment is re-
CURED"
8. Letters TO which the old stamps
have been affixed, and letters inclosed in
envelopes bearing the old stamp, ere
treated like any other unpaid letters.
4. Letters from soldiers may 60 for
ward without prepayment (the postage
TO be collected at the Office Of delivery)
provided that each letter shall be endors-
ed "Soldier's Letter" and such endorse
nent signed by field or staff officer or
cat detached posts or hospitals, it may
be signed by the chaplain or surgeon"
But letters to soldiers, not being from
soldiers, and so endorsed, must be pre-
paid as other letters
r. Il is not advisable TO send register
ed and valuable letters to soldiers in the
field by mail. Every postmaster IS re-
ouired by law to hold registered letters
until they are receipted for by person
authorized to receive them. They can
not be sent out in military mails, by
which soldiers usually receive their LETT
ters.
6. Unpaid letters eaaaet be sent out
in military mails, until the postage IS
paid at the Office TO which they are
charged on the way-bill, unless the post
master shall lose the postage himself
II is therefore best that all letters to sol
diers should be prepaid, whether trE
soldiers or other persons The number
ofunpaid and partially paid letters which
arrive daily at the Nashville post office
is too great to be turned into the military
mails without payment Of postage.
