How We Raise Strawberries

A Wisconsin reader of the Rural New
Yorker sends the following;
thought I would send our way of hav-
ing plenty of straw berries, especially as it
is all the trouble the majority of folks will
take. The plants are set in hills the same
as corn-that is, far enough apart to give
room to cultivate them the same way that
you do corn. We have done we'll setting
them any wet day ia spring, after har-
vest. Keep the bed clean and the ground
we'll stirred up the FIRST year, then let them
spread and cover the ground, if they will.
After the first year, if the weeds are pretty
tall, it will pay to walk through the ground
and pull them up by hand. In the fall the
bed is covered with wild hay, or anything
that has no seed in it, to grow and make a
meadow of it the following year. 1t can
be removed in the spring after it gets warm
or left on. If left on the berries will be la
ter. A bed will run out about every three
years and it is well to set a lew rows
every year. We raise the Wilson's Albany
Seeding, as it is what we need here, hardy
and productive. That Is all there Is IN our
way Of getting strawberries ; and, although
it may look like Western way of doing
things, it usually brings rs any quantity of
splendid fruit
Experience will teach everybody that it
pays best to plant every spring patch for
the next seasons crop. The old patch can
hang over, to produce what it may, provi-
ded the new plantation has had new sea-
sons growth. and provided the planter has
plenty of land to spare. But if one desires
to make the most possible out of limited
quantity of land, plant every spring. The
last of March is the best time to pillow,
though all of April is favorable. There is
too much risk in summer and fall planting.

GILRs.-There a:e two kinds of girls
one is the kind that appears best abroad,
the girls that are good for parties, rides,
visits, balls, ETC., and whose chief delight
is in such things; the other is the kind
that appears best at home-the girls that
are useful and cheerful in the dining room,
sick-room and all the precincts of home
They differ widely in character. One is

Cost of Intemperance.


he official returns of the retail deal
ts'of the United States, that the value of
he liquors retailed by them over the coun-
ter and drank where sold, is as follows
New England States, $500, 1877, 200
New York, New Jersey,
Penn, Ohio and Illinois, 713,41O, 566
Other States and Territories, $50, 1875, $50
Total, 1858, 483. 855
The value of the liquors drank in the
United States. in one year, is therefore,
over fifteen hundred millions of dollars, or
rhree-fOurths oft national debt. The es-
innate too, is probably under the real truth
as it is the estimate of the liquor dealers
themselves, upon which the tax upon the
business is based, and they would not be
likely to over-eslimqte the amount. And
this is far from being the whole cost Of in
temperance. At low valuation the value
of grain and fruit used in distillat:on the
time lost by drunkenness, and the destrue
ton of property by crime and carelessness
of men under the influence Of liquor, must
increase the whole cost of intemperance to
q sum not less than twenty five hundred
millions of dollars annually considerably
more than the National debt. Just think Of
it The half of this immense sum would
endow all our educational and benevolent
institutions build school house in every
village of the South crown every hilltop
with church and send forth Missionaries
to every cline in the world.
Such is the cost of intemperance in its
pecuuiary aspect, TO say nothing of intel
lectual, moral and spiritual waste and de-
struction which it involves. The couside-
ration of these figures, and the reflection of
how much better off. as happy and pres
porous people, we might be, were the coun-
try freed from the blightiDg curse of in
temperance, leads US to ask the question ::
Are the people Of the country willing to
bear this enormous burden, or win they not
arise in their might and put an end to the
accursed Traffic IN strong drink It should
be done, if we would save our country from
moral ruin.

this year, in order to prepare for the high

revolution are to be seen. The telegraph
yesterday announces that the export duty
on tobacco aud cigars have been increased,
and that the duty on sugar has been in
creased one dollar ond quarter per hogs

country. If our people will be warned in

Can Consumption be Cured 2

This reads very much like the head OF a
patent medicine advertisement, but it is
nothing of the sort. VS. write it for the
purpose of quoting the following valuable
directions and reflections at the close of
Dr. BOwditOh's two papers on consump-
tion in America in the last two numbers Of
the Atlantic Monthly:
Il. Never allow any one to sleep in the
same bed with consumptive.
2. If possible, let the attendant or friend
sleep in an adjacent room, within easy call
rather than in the same room.
g. Never let one sister Il. e., one of the
same hereditary tendencies) sleep with an
other who is tuberculous.
4. Always have paid nurse to attend
to the mere drudgery of the sick room.
s. As this will often be impossible let
the attendant be sure to go out not less
than twice daily and fill her lungs with
pure air, or at least with air different fro m
that Of the sick loom.'
We conclude as we began, in hope and
for final statement lay down the follow
ing as our medical faith on this important
question When all men and womea live
in properly placed aad rightly constructed
houses, and at ali times attend carefully to
the higienic laws of mind and body, in
themselves and their offspring. then will
consumption, like many kindred evils, be
wholly eradicated, or made comparatively
harmless in its influence on the human race.
