A CORRESPONDENT of the Massachusetts
Ploug7naan says: "Cover your strawberry
vines lightly, or you smother them. Pine

Remember long manure is fatal to them. :"

A NEW CURcULIo REMEDY.-Mr.
Charles Arnold, well known Canadian
Horticulturist, says he has tried, with
good success, the plan of withdrawing
the soil under fruit trees as protection
from the curculio. He pours the white
wash on the ground, and spreads it with a
brush SO as to completely cover the sur
face, and says the larva of the curculio
will not enter the ground-remaining and
dying in the fallen fruit.

the stalks of asparagus have come to ma
turity in autumn, they should be moved
off and spread over the surface of the bed
After lying for a few days, they will be-
come sufficiently dry to burn, which
should be done for the purpose of killing
the larve of any insect that may be above
ground; then heavy top-dressing may
be applied, and remain on the surface I'M

IT is bad plan to place potatoes against
the damp walls of cellar, or to put them
in large, deep bins, where they will be
likely to gather moisture If bins are
used, the bottom should be made of strips

air. Barrels or open boxes are also good,
