Manure for Straw berries.

A correspondent of the Gardeners
Chronicle, who has been very successful
In raising Strawberries for a number of
years from the same bed, says GA
fictitious manure of my own devising
having been very successful with me, |
beg to preface the receipt, with some
observations on cheap way Of obtaining
a crop where labor is scarce. | cover
the beds with straw at the beginning of
winter, and let the young runners kill
aud take the place of the old roots,
whereby deep layer of humus is form
ed, just as in old grass land and by the
same process. But | had a failure one
year, and the next applied the dressing
just referred to, and the produce was
such as | really believe that it | could
grow it accurately would be incredible.
Ny composition is one pound each of
EPSON salts, Glauber's salt, pearl ash
and carbonate of soda, and one-half
pound of muriate of ammonia, and to
sixty gallons of water. Last year | used
small quantities of chloride and phos-
plate of lime and nitre, instead of the
pearl ash but tried the two Indifferent
parts of the bed this year, and
found no difference. | apply it as soon
as the plants show signs of growth in
spring, watering them pretty freely
without hose, three times, at intervals
of about week, so as to finish before
they come into flower; and ii the season
be dry / find it absolutely necessary to
supply them literally with common
water afterward during their whole time
of growth, or their increased activity
will very quickly kill them.

Orchard Grass.

A correspondent of the Germantown
TeJeqraDh says II have raised orchard
grass for several years and like it better
the more l am acquainted with it, |
never raised it in the shade or near trees
nor did | know it was named because of
its adaptability to orchards. | have
raised it on common loamy soil and on
meadow bottom. Have very heavy
crops, and find it to be the best for feed
to cows, especially the rowen. / have
always cut mine three times year, on
good land. / am not ready to give up
Timothy, but am sowing more and more
orchard grass every year. | would not
advise any one to have his whole farm
in that or any other kind of grass. Or
chard grass must be cut early or much
of its value will be lost. All | took up
my pen for was to say that it will grow
well in the sun.
II have no doubt but that many, per-
haps the majority of those who try it,
will be disappointed with it. 1t natures
four weeks earlier than Timothy, and
our people who are not used to cutting
hay in May or June, will let it stand till
it gets hard and thus lose much of the
value of the first crop, and diminish the
quantity of the next. But if cut very
early and well cured, and the next crops
Of rowen are cut aud cured in season,
it will produce more value of feed for a
winter dairy than any grass ever raised.
| have this winter been feeding three
crops of it, grown from seed sowed on
the 18th of last April. 1t was cut July
1, August to 7, and September Is, and
produced over three tons to the acre.
The stcutest of the first crop weighed
over two tons to the acre, by actual trial

SCROFULA, AND SCROFULOUS
HJJMORS

Ifyegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, pu-
rify and cure such diseases. restoring the
patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians, many remedies, suffer-
ing for years. is it not conclusive proof. If
you are a sufferer, you can be cured Why
is this medicine performing such great
cures? 1t works in the blood, in the cir
culating fluid. 1t can truly be called the
Great Blood Purifier. The great source of
disease originates in the blood, and no
medicine that does not act directly upon
it to purify and renovate, has any just
claim upon public attention. When the
blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, eth
err from change of weather or climate,
want of exercise, irregular diet, or from
any other cause, the Vegetine will renew
the blood, carry off the putrid humors,
cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels,
and impart a tone OF yigor to the whole
body The conviction is, in the public
mind as well as in the medical profession,
that the remedies supplied by the vegeta-
BILE kingdom are more safe, more success
full in the cure of disease than mineral
medicines. Vegctine is composed of roots,
barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take,
and is perfectly safe to give to an infant.
In scr0fula the Vegetine has performed
wonderful cures, where many other reme-
dies have failed. as will be seen by few of
the many testimonials given.

RASPBERRY CULTURE ask in re-
card to the culture of the raspberry,
why it is that just before the berries
fully mature great many seem to dry
up on one side, while the other seems
comparatively good and sound and goes
on ripening, but of course produces only
an imperfect berry We give as the
reason, and the true one, that the vine
lacks moisture at. the roots; either be-
cause tie earth is naturally too dry for
the raspberry, or it is overrun with
grass and weeds that are extracting the
moisture from the soil that ought to go
to noursh the plant. The raspberry is
decidedly surface-feeder, so that weeds
and grass act directly on the source of
nourishment. 1t is for this reason that
stirring the ground deeply during the
fruiting season is injurious, because it
destroys great number of fine surface
roots, which are the chief feeders of the
fs'ant Probably none of the small fruit
or berries are so much benefited by a
liberal mulching Of coarse manure,
straw, leaves or sawdust, as the rasp-
hery 1t keeps the ground moist at the
surface, and if thick enough will keep
down nearly all the weeds. Next to
muching, a judicious irrigation, par
ticularly during the season of the ripen-
ing of the fruit, will be very certain to
insure good crop of sound berries on
rich and otherwise suitable soil.-Pacifc
