There has been so much said for

OF the War Department, that we are
sure the gaeat American public will
accord q most hearty welcome to
this record of the labors and expert,
ences Of this famous, praised, traduc>
ed, dreaded and loved official. He
has thrown down the gauntlet to his
enemies and gainsayers by thus bold
ly making public his varied and hith-
erto necessarily mysterious official
career. To General Baker was ems
trusted at this stage Of the war an
Office OF great delicacy, the execu~
ton Of which required a more than
ordinary amount Of tact, shrewdness
and boldness. During the progress
of hostiIities General Bakers course
of action gave perfect satisfaction;
but when the Johnsonian. NY Polls

Of the Detective Bureau was not

Baker could not be silenccd, so his

General Baker tells some strange

SOAP SUBS AS a MANURE. Soap
suds Which is generally thrown into
the drain or gutter, is an excellent
manure and should always be appli-
ed TO that purpose whenever there is
u farm or garden attached to the
house. Let the suds from the hitch
en- be thrown over garden during
the winter, and the ground will be
greatly enriched by the means, be-
sides destroying q great many nox-
ious insects. In summer it is often
greatly needed for watering, and
there is scarcely ever week when
j. may not be applied at some time
without over watering, But it is
better to keep large cask for stor-
ing suds IN summer, and use it when
most needed.

AS usual, we hear much said about
the effect Of the weather upon the

fuse. The weather has been cold for
eight or ten days, with slight froste,
but not seems to have been injured,
except the very earliest Of the straw
berries. The blossom Of this fruit is
peculiar The embryo stands out be-
yond the petals ofthe blossom and
has no projections and we have been
informed that in Sout Jersey, q week
ago, all the blossoms showed q black
specll in the center, thos proving Shat
tho very earliest portion Of the crop
viii be short. The cold, however, was
not severe enough to iniure the buds
