DsEIoIoys.--The finest strawberries We
have seen are those raised by our friend
Mr.. Barbour, at his fruit farm on Ray
burn avenue. They are larger and have
better flavor than most OF the berries
brought to the city. We suppose Mr..
Barbour possesses some peculiar knowl-
edge of their cultivation. or else his is of
different kind from all the others we
have seen. We would advise those in
want of something really delicious to get
Barbour's. They are for sale by him at
the southeast corner South Memphis
Market.

q company of the royal Bengal tiger,
ring-streakei, double jointed, knock
kneed, cross-eyed, single gallows, but
gallows-deserving, militia went from
Humboldt to Milan, pressed enough
horses to mount themselves, and secured
the country on pretended hunt for
Ku.Klux. They only found one, o young
man named Sullivan, who was at home
in bed-a son Of Mr.. Enoch Sullivan,
one Of the best old citizens in that
neighborhood. They brought him down
to Humboldt, under close guard, and
yesterday they had him in tie guard
house. No special charges are preferred
against him, but it is supposed that some
negro in his neighborhoed reported him
to be XII Kluxer, which is about the
same as to be witch, or wizard, or O
ghost.

OF 265,OOO acres over 1867. This increase.
however, is believed to be due TO more COM
prehensive returns Of pasturage. Of the
whole number OF acres, 1863, 900 were under
grain crops, 4,S65, 900 under green crops, oS4.-
600 under bare fallow, 5,690,09O under grass.
and 22,164000, or nearly one-half OF the
whole, under permanent pasturage. Com
pared with 1867, there was an increase OF
1000 acres OF grain, and decrease OF 17O,-
900 upon green crops. A marked advance is
shown in the number OF cattle and sheep
The increase of cattle amounts to $4,000,
but in Ireland there is a decrease Of $1,000
In 1868 the number OF sheep in the United
Kingdom was larger than in 1867 by 1,790,-
000 The number OF sheep in Ireland for the
two years remained about The same. In the
number of pigs there is decrease, due to the
high prices Of food.
The English farmer not only pays great at
tention to the breed OF cattle, but also to the
preparation Of the soil for crops He doesn't
run over more ground than he can manure
highly, and he-ce his great crops. Long ago
he learned the value and necessity of the va
rious kinds of manure. There are altogether
too many bones imported into England from
this country. The English farmers are fal
ahead of ours in the use of this fertilizer
Their wheat fields yield more per acre than
ours by several bushels. California was up
even with them few years ago, but the soil
of the Golden State has become somewhat
exhausted, and she will be compelled TO keep
all her bones at home.
