Strawberry Culture.

This very excellent fruit is getting more
in demand every year,-and is becoming
very profitable, and is very desirable be-
cause it makes 4 quicker reture than any
other; and as the next month is the most
desirable one for fall planting, we propose
to give a few hints which those who desire
setting out plantation would do well to
heed.
SoIL.-Any good rich soil that will grow
vegetables successfully is admirably adapt
ed to the growth of Strawberries. 1t should
be prepared in the same manner as we have
recommended for other fruits, with the
addition to COW manure of good horse
manure and bone dust.
LAYING oFF.-For hand cultivation,
which we prefer, set the plants out one
foot apart each way, and for field culture
lay the rows off three feet apart and plant
one foot apart in the rows.
TRANsrLANTING.-B very careful in
taking up the plants to protect all the roots.
The best plants are the we'll rooted runners
taken up with spade. The plants should
be trimmed of all decayed leaves or roots,
and with a dibble make a good hole, and
set in the plants after they have been
immersedin soft mud. In setting the plants
it is very advisable to put in the hole two
of the leaf stems after taking off the leaf,
as these stems have tendency to hold the
plant in the ground and prevent them from
being thrown ont by the winter freezing
AS soon as planted, give good watering,
and draw little fresh dirt up to the plant.
MULCIING.-If at all practicable, the
plants should be Immediately mulched with
tan. An inch or SO deep for six inches
around, in the absence of tan, saw dust
will answer the purpose.
TARIETIEs-The varieties best suited to
our climate, and those which have been
proven SO by actual experiment, arc:
Agriculturist, Fillmore,
Jucanda, Green Prolific,
Keene Seeding, Hovey Seeding,
Triomphe de Gand, Russell,
Wilson Albany, Golden Queen,
Rural Gentleman.

"a More horses are killed by hard riding
and driving than are worn out by hard
work; although too many are worked to
death. tits strange that horse owners will
not see their own interest in taking better
care of SO valuable an animal. A horse
should never be put to the road without
having his feet examined to see that the
shoeing is all right. Be careful about
watering when the horse is warm. Rub
his legs well after every days work.

PACKING BUTTER.-1t is of the first i'm
portance, in packing butter, either for mar
ket or home consumption, that the vessel
in which it is placed should not only be
clean, but made of a material from which
the butter will not derive any unpleasant
flavor. In speaking on this subject, the
Toronto Globe warns farmers against the
use of pine iirkins and tubs, and contin-
ucs:
Use stone jars or crooks for packing but
ter for home use, or to be sold to neighbors
or to city customers. When wooden pack
ages are used, have them made only of the
best seasoned white oak, maple, or any
kind of good, hard wood. Pine, or any
kind of resinous wood, however well it may
be seasoned, scalded, or whatever else is
done to it, will still give bad flavor to
butter when used as a package: the salt in
the butter seems to draw out the resinous
flavor from the wood at some time or other
after the butter is put in. We should
imagine that so cheap and strong an article
as glass could be made much use of for Il Q
purpose of making butter packages.

Is No man can ever hope to hold q run
ming horse by pulling evenly on the bit: he
might as well try to lift himself over the
fence by pulling at his boot-straps; it can't
be done. When 4 horses head is turned
to one side he is compelled to SO arrange
his legs that they will properly balance him
he cannot run Observation-Disclosures my
advice would be if 4 horse is running away,
or if he refuses to go, to pull tightly, as
now do, upon the right, rein, and force
the horse to describe a circle for an indeti-
mite period of time, after which, you may
depend upon it, he will not attempt the
same trick.

SELECTING SEED CoRN-A correspondent
of the Gernlanto~n Telegraph, furnishes
the following on selecting seed corn:
As the time is now at hand to begin the
selection of seed corn, permit me to say a
few words to those who do not understand
the business.
go through my corn soon after it begins
to ripen, and select say twice as much as
may require for seed, allowing one hun-
dred ears for bushel of the best and
earliest that l can find, then tie it up in
pairs by the husks and hang up in some
sheltered place where the rats and mice
cannot disturb it till it is needed. l then
select from the whole what l require of the
best filled and smallest cobbed ears, usi, z
only about two-thirds of the ear and that
principally from the butt end. Corn used
in this way is good for seed several years, f
it is kept dry.

In this month keep all holes in tops
of hives or honey boards closed, and
entrances very small, that all the heat
Of the hive may be saved for the de
velopment OF the brood which now,
in every prosperous hive, should be
fast increasing.

This is best done by having an empty
hive, and removing the frames from i.
full one into it, as rapidly as possible;
then clean that hive, and use it tor the
frames OF the next. One may have too
much, and another too little honey,
and an empty comb in one hive may
be exchanged fora full one in another,
and both be benefited. II a hive con-
tains abundant stores and little brood,

From Prairie Farmer
Ro;nticn--Depth of Planting. &c

Different plants appropriate differ
ent substances. Rotation of crops
and suitable manure iudiciously ap-
piled to his own particular soil, with
good clean tillage and good seed, will
do more towards enriching the farm
crs and and himself, than any other
known method; audit ,svery surprising
that this golden prize. placed 80 easily
within the farmer reach, Is not grasp
cd with more eager heart and hand.
Another object OF the farmer should
be to preserve the richness of his soil,
and attempt the destruction of all
weeds and insects.
AS a general thing, the soil is too
much over-cropped with wheat, and
the land is perfectly worn out with
this particular grain; and, as natural
consequence, sill manner of foul and
Troublesome weeds take its place.
Clean cultivation and rotation OF
crops is sad neglect OF the farmer.
However plentilully land may be ma
nured, a succession of the same kind
of crops should never be grown in the
same place. Manure in the first place,
ought to be applied, after which give
j, good, deep tiliage. Plant to corn
next with barley, then wheat, then
oats, blowing tor wheat in the fall
about half the depth you did for corn;
then manure again, plant corn. then
barley, and seed to clover. Take of
one crop, summer tallow with the
next crop, plow again in the fall, and
SOW to wheat; after which commence
rs at first to manure, then corn, &c.
Depend upon it, this rotation vii
keep your land as it ought to be, and
yield you rich returns. # you have
two or three fields, keep this rotation
going on IN them all. For instance
tn. first year you can have corn in one
wheat in another, and barley and oat!
in another; and next year, with thi'
rotation you will have a change il
them all again.
Wheat never ought to be covered
at a greater depth than one inch, bar
ley from halt All inch to an inch, oats
one and halt inches, and corn two
inches. Barley ought to be rolled i'm
mediately after sowing and covering
oats never. Wheat ought to be rolled
if the sol! is = rich, deep loan; other
wise, not. One and three iourths buh
els of wheat ought to be sown to th'
acre in old land, or.'if new, one and
half bushels; barley, two and one,tourtl

pays ten dollars for barrel OF -four,
curses the producer, and torgets that
he has pad living profit to three

Now, Mr.. Editor, this might be car.
ried out ad mfnitam. You know it
every man knows it: but who has the
holdness, the moral courage, to resist
it? |, tor one, contend that neither
consumer nor producer can prosper while
this breed OF cormorants remains be-
tween. The one must deal with the
other direct, without the interposltion
OF third party. Then produce will
be brought to a minimum as well as a
maximum price, and every man who
consumes will be able to buy at the
producers price, and thus the middle
men--vampires-will be driven from
the market and forced to earn living
honestly, like men who labor.

The high py,e,' which havc ruled for
the past year tor every article Of con-

position OF men Of this class. These
men must have their profit. The grocer

must have profit, and that profit is
indefinite; and thereby the consumer
is forced to pay about twice as much
az he ought for what he uses or con
