Make a Strawberry Bed.

1t is but little trouble to make bed.
Plants are cheap, and the postal ar
rangements are such that those living
far from nurseries can readily get by
mail plants Of enough choice kinds for
beginning. Any good garden soil,
enriched with old manure, will raise
good strawberries. If there are but
few plants to start with, the object
should be to multiply them as rapidly
as possible set them out eighteen
inches or two feet apart each way, prick
off the blossom buds if any appear and
keep free from weeds. Runners will be
thrown out and form new plants, and a
dozen plants will in a year multiply
enough to set out very large plot. A
stock Of plants having been procured,
make beds 4 feet wide, with suitable
alleys between. Three rows Of plants
can be put on the bed, eighteen inches
each way, which will bring the outer
rows six inches from the edge Of the
bed. In setting out the plants, the old
partly decayed leaves and all runners
should be removed. It is the custom of
some good cultivators to cut off the roots
one-third or one-half their length. In
planting, spread the roots we'll and
press the earth well around without
covering the plants. A mound of earth
is made in the hole, the plant is set up.
on the ground with its roots carefully
spread out over it, and the hole then
filled with earth. We planted in this
way bed Of over a thousand plants
without losing one. There are two
ways of growing strawberries. One is
to keep all the runners pinched back as
fast as they appear. In this way the
plants form large stools and continue in
bearing five or six years. Most varie-
ties do well in this way, but Wilson's
Albany, from its manner of growth, is
not SO well suited for this kind of cul-
ture. Another, and the most common
way, is to let the runner grow, and a
bed Of this kind will give one full crop
and partial one; when it is spaded
up. There of course should be another
bed ready to succeed it.-.4gricultur-

Facts for Farmers.

Agriculture is the life of the world.
1t feeds and clothes the world. About
six thousand million dollars are invested
in agriculture, which is about 6ve- -sixths
more than all the other capital together.
The country gains about fifteen millions
yearly by farming. In the State of
New York, where is the great trading
city of New York, the farmers pay
about four-f Of the taxes.
1t is seldom farmer is sent to the
penitentiary, in comparison with other
professions. Farmers have graced all
the distinguished Offices.
Only from two to four per cent. of
bankrupts are farmers.
The healthiest people are farmers
and the most contented also.
A farmer seldom breaks down, unless
he has other business connected with bis
farm.
What will do for one season Con a
farm will not always do for another.
Drouth, rain, excess Of heat, unusual
prevalence of insects, and frost Gin the
ground have much to do. We should
farm upon general principles, and take
advantage of others as much as may be
at the time. Consequently each mar
must determine for himself.
Flowing land wet, and then letting il
dry, is working on the principle oI
making brick-the wetter and more

WHAT - PERSONALITY Tho Argus oHa

in connection with some illusions to our no.

Our frat notice OF the Argus, was headed " A

Whatever to the editor personally, but only
spoke OF the character Of the paper. Whether
our opinion Of the character OF the paper wa
correct or incorrect, in no way made the motto,
