CANTERBURY, June l0tn, 1867.
EDS. TRIBUNE.
Will some one give through the columns of
the tribune, the best time for planting out
Strawberry plants how far they should be
put apart in the rows also the best varieties.
INQUIERER.
In answer to our correspondent, we
would say, the best time for planting Straw
berries is in April, yet we are told they sue
coed well in Delaware, planted in Septem-
Der or October, they do not succeed SO well
during the hot months-yet with extra care,
they do well even then. For field culture
they should be planted in rows three feet
apart, and eighteen inches in the row. The
best variety known for general cultivation is
Wilson's Albany, Triomphe de gand is good
variety, but does not do well in some places.
May Queen is very superior in quality, and
very prolific, but medium size and has given
place to larger varieties. There are the Ag-
riculturalist, French Seeding, and other va
rieties, each having their advocates, and 1t
is difficult to decide between them. In our
next issue we will allude to the subject
mora in detail, AGRICULTURAL EnIyoR.

DEFINING His Position. The "Fat Con-
tributor," while at Nashville recently, was
requested to define his position on politics,
which he did in letter to John Happy, 'of
the Nashville Banner, as follows:
am aware of the necessity Of knowing
just where man stands in these times which
try mems sssoles'-as well as the the upper
leather. To begin with, am an old Henry
Clay wing, of the Polk school, l believed
in the hard cider platform of 1910, during
which l cast somewhat colored vote for
Jackson. Ivoted against the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, and am in favor of the
impeachment of Jeffsrson Davis. l favored
the Maine law until they fired on our flag,
together with several of our flagstones, when
| went in for vigorous prosecution of
peace. am in favor of woman's right, if it
Is good looking woman, and she 0writes"
to me. don't know much about the Mon
roe doctrine, and as for horse'' doctoring" /
don't know anything at all. wouldn't vote
to oblige Mormon to have more than one
wife, and am opposed to Introducing cholera
into the territories. | go in for tax on
waterfalls, and am willing to allow chignons
representation on the basis of population.
Finally, am in favor of allowing the negro
to vote in the South-it is the only way to
make treason 'sodorous."

Corn and Wheat.

II would be interesting to know how much
corn Is planted during these pleasant June
days. Owing to the protracted wet weather,
a large part ct the corn fields Of the North
have remained implanted. But now, through
a region thousand miles long and iha hun
dred broad, from daylight till dusk, the farm
err improves the favorable hours to plant
corn. Whatever the amount may be, it is
certainly larger than ever was planted be-
fore. With the incentives of high prices,
real scarcity of grain, and the growing
season before us, we may confidently expect
a yield fully up to the avearge.
While the weather was so unfayorabe for
corn planting, it was highly favorble for
wheat. During those wet, cold weeks the,
wheat plant grew very slowly, and, in pro-
tecting itself, ii sent out new shoots which
now, through all the fields, are rising to
sight and adding to stand which, by rea-
son Of the winter SHOWS, was already good.
This addition will add much TO the crop.
Had the season been warm, the plant would
have grown rapidly, and been deprived of
this increase. Hence, one sees that naturally
a cold climate, giving slow growth, and
having tendency to create self-protecting
sod, must in series Of years yield more
wealth than warm, rapidly maturing eli
mate. Y
Thousands of sharp observers are noting
these facts, for millions of dollars depend
upon them. The prospect of a bountiful har-
vest is having powerful effect uopn the
market, and we are noting heavy declines.
Other articles of fond are also declining,
These may be considered as sure signs of a
speedy revival of trade.

THE conductor Ola Baltimore city car thus
tells how his cash was short one day the fare
of one passenger All paid except one fat
old lady, who sat next the door, and who
seemed to be reaching down as if to get
something she had dropped on the floor.
When her time came to pay she raised her
head and addressed the blushing youth; 81
alters, when travels, carry my money in
my stockin', for yer sees nothing can get at
it thar, and I'd thank you, young man, jest
to reach it for me, as I'm SO jammed in that
can't get to it." The youth looked at the
other passengers, some of whom were laugh
ing at his plght one or two young ladies
among them blushed scarlet, and he beat a
sudden retreat muttering something about
not charger old ladies,&c.

Foreign Travel.

Mr. Byard Taylor writes as follows.
In hotels the cost of living varies from a
dollar and a half to three dollars day. In
Germany the latter sum will generally in
clude the necessary wine, private parlor,
and meals served there-which luxuries in
New York could not be enjoyed for less than
twenty dollars day! In Southern Ger
many you pay about thirty cents bottle for
the same quality Of wine which our landlords
furnished for three dollars! But then, on
the other side, the profits Of a German land
lord are not 100000 per year Neverthe-
less, in spite of this difference, the cost of
living in European hotels is at least twenty
per cent more at present than it was four
years ago, and it has been made SO princi-
pally by American travellers.
TheTpresumable expense of an American
travelling in Europe this year of the Expos
ition; may be thus gagged:
First-For very shrewd, economical,
single gentleman, an average of 81 per day.
Second-Four one moderately economi-
cal, yet with taste for recreation,$6 per
day r o0t
Third--For o luxurious person, $40 per
day. ~H
Fourth-For the sons of Petroleum and
Shoddy, 800 to $50 per day.
The monthly expense of residence in Ger
many, Switzerland, or Italy;
For the first class of persons, $50.
For the second class of persons. $50.
For the third class of persons, 800,
For the fourth class Of persons (impossi-
Bile to state).
From these indications, those intending to
come may, think, easily make an estimate
in advance, which shall not vary more than
twenty per cent, from these facts of their ex-
nariapoa
