Strawberries set out 10 September will
produce about half crop nett Spring.
They may be transplanted during a "wet
spelf' at any time after the runners
have formed roots. The earlier this is
done, the firmer they will become rooted
before freezing weather sets in. n
favorable weather occurs Chat fhey can
be set out early, say before tbe middle
of September, they will produce fully
half crop next season but, set out 10
October, though they will root sufficient
ly to survive the Winter, they viii not
produce much fruit next season. Do
not attempt to plant when the ground
is dry, but wait for u rain, If you do
get them out a few weeks later
If cultivated on a smalls caie, they ore
generally planted in rows ~ 70 10
inches apart, and Y inches 10 the row,
this admits working with the hoe. If
cultivated on large scale, they are
planted in rows three feet apart and r.
inches IN q row
They must be kept free from weeds
and grass. To effect this use the same
means as for cultivating vegetables. If
in rows one foot apart, use the hoe free
ly; if in rows three feet apart use fhe
horse aud small cultivator During
the Winter they should be COW
cred to prevent sudden freezing and
thawing. Straw and corn stalks will
answer well. When freezing weather is
over, the covering must be removed, and
the ground between the plants should
be covered with straw, sawdust or spent
tau bark to Keep the berries clean.
Strawberries will grow in any mod
erately rich soft, from heavy clay to a
light sand, but 10 a medium between
the two, they will do best.
OF all kinds yet introduced, the Will

ME advantages of Life Insurance are so
manifold and manifest that general inquiry

siOn to be certain must be immediate. The
Nv immediate provision is by Life Insurance.
great and important question il, where shall
insure Reason, sell.respect, selfinterest.
e laws Of trade and commerce that govern a
rifty and intelligent people indicate that n
an should insure at home, where he lives
nkes his money, pays his taxes and expects
leave his property and his family. II is as
hmilating as IL is ruinous for us to send mil
bns Of dollars out OF our State annually for
lie Insurance that should be kept at home.
0ney in Maryland Is scarce, interest high, and
<foperty low, because we are sending 50 much
u 1t away. There is certainly no necessity
|br this, because equal intelligence and equal
Inorals will make Savings Banks, Life and Fire
Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Doctors, Mer-
ehants, or anything else, here equal to those in
pther States. Ii is an axiom that in all kinds
pf business danger, difficulty and loss increases
10 ratio of distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that it is safer and better in both Life
hnd Fire to be insured at home. 1t isa poor
compliment to our Citizens and State and in
bad taste to depreciate our own institutions
hnd indirectly depreciate those who control
them.
Fortunately for our State prosperity, the
people are beginning to see this. Our lat
January report to the Comptroller of the
State was so satisfactory and gratifying as to
call forth editorial cOmmendatiops from the
principal papers In Baltimore.
Few companies are in as good condition rs
