CultivatIng Strawberries.

To farmers who are not yet schooled
up to the point Of taking the trouble to
cultivate strawberries in the garden-bed,
the Ohio Farmer makes this suggestion !:
" You have upon your premises q spot
where stack has been built, some
nook or corner in the meadow where
the soil is rich, place that fence has
been moved from, or where logs have
been piled and burned or drawn of
Now some day during the coming two
weeks, when the team is hitched mp,

over, harrow it well, and then 60 to
some more enterprising neighbor who
raises strawberries and thin his patch of
plants, which he will gladly have you
do if his bed is old, and put out sets

will rejoice at the result. If in future
years you have not time to give the
patch cultivation, let it alone until the

Without taking account of the thou
sands of temporary wooden sheds erect
ed in Chicago for the accommodation of
business until better provision could be
made, the new structures of stone,
brick, or iron already up have an az
aggregate street frontage of more than
80, 600 feet, or about nine miles, and
the cost of them, according to the esti-
mates of architects and statements Of
owners, amounts TO about 0.O0O, 600.
On the twenty-five principal streets of
the burnt area of the South Division
the total frontage of new buildings is
81, 792 feet, while the frontage of va
cant lots is s., 252 feet. Some Of these
streets show very few vacant lots, and
on an average they are all half built
up. There appears to be no contradic-
ton Of the assertion that the buildings
are Of q much more substantial charac-
ter than those before the FIRE.

II is astonishing how much diversity
of opinion there is and has been, about
the distance apart to plant apple trees.
After an experience of fifteen years, l
would plant apple trees not less than
twenty-four feet apart, from that to thir-
ty-two feet. Apple trees planted six
teen feet apart, when they get large
enough to bear, are found by experience
to be entirely too near each other, the
limbs interlock, and il is difficult to get
through the orchard with a wagon and
the want of light and room causes
the leaves to fall from the lower limits,
and the other trees become unhealthy.
Young orchards should be cultivated
like a corn field until the trees begin to
bear, and there is no better crop TO grow
among young trees than corn. Let the
row of trees have the ground of the row
to themselves, and then cultivate the
row of trees the same as 8 row of corn,
but let il stand, as Il forms q protection
to the trees in winter. After the trees
begin to bear, seed the ground to clover
clean, no blue grass or timothy mixed
with it-and don't take the clover of
for hay, but either turn in the hogs or
cut the clover and let it rot under the
trees; and whenever the clover gets
crowded out By blue grass or timothy,
rlow it up and seed down again with
clover. This is not theory with me, but
it is based on observation and success
full practice.-Iolca Homestead.

Our increase in all the chief articles
Of agricultural produce during the last
decade, ~ shown by the census report,
is something enormous.
Wine has increased fourteen-fold since
1850, and nearly doubled in the last
decade, California being its chief pro
Queer.
Hops have increased seven-fold in
the same time, and more than doubled
in the last ten years, New York growing
two-thirds of the whole crop.
Barley has increased skiold.
Flax skiold, and haxseed trebled.
Wheat trebled, and oats doubled.
Irish potatoes have only increased
one third, and sweet decreased one half.
Live stock have trebled in val1e, and
now amount to the handsome total OF
one thousand FIVE hundred and twenty
FIVE millions of dollars, or an average OF
nearly two hundred dollars for every
family in the nation.
Animals slaughtered have nearly
four hundred millions of dollars an
nually.
Wool has increased from sixty to one
hundred millions Of pounds.
Cotton is half million of bales above
what it was in 1850, and three-ffths OF
its amount in 1860.
In only one instance is there de
crease of an important product, and that
is in Indian corn, which falls short Of the
amount reported in 1860 by seventy
eight millions of bushels, or ten per
cent. of the whole.
In some of the lesser products, how
ever, the downcome is considerable
Silk cocoons are only third OF their
former amount; hemp a sixth; peas
and beans and rice about third each.
Buckwheat has decreased from seven
teen millions of bushels to nine, and
rye from twenty-one millions of bushels
to sixteen.

are interested-as who u not Pin the
life of the late Charles Dickens. Under
ordinary circumstances il would be
rightly deemed beyond the ken of q

deliberate choice made his separation
from his wife . public topic, ard it would
be adectation to keep out Of print gossip
which, though At present that of an in
ner circle. Is sure to become very soon
the common talk Of literary society.
The rumor is that Forster's .Life Of
Dickens" vol 2, which the world is
anxiously expecting, hangs fire. The
biographer thinks that he ought to tell
the story of the separation Of Dickens
and his wife. and Of course is disposed
to throw all the blame of the separation
upon Mrs Dickens. But young Dick.
ems, who, it is said, always sided with
his mother in that matter, and thinks
that but scant justice was done to her
by his father when the matter was made
public, says that if amends be not made
to her by Mr.. Forster, q plain, unvar.
nished tale shall be published in ali
The Year Round. How the matter will
end it is impossible to foretell. Fer
haps the beat say would be to leave the
tale untold, if young Dickens would
consent to that course. At all events,
one cannot but admire this young mans
affection for his mother, and his chival-
rous determination that at all cost to
the reputation of his father her good
name shall not be blurred. 1t will be
remembered that Walter Savage Lam
dor suddenly separated from his wife,
and never saw her again. Mr.. Forster,
in his biography of Lander, hurries over
the business swiftly, like skater over
dangerous Ice, but he manages to throw
the blame rather upon Mrs. Lapdor
than upon his hero. Bat having read
this biography and got pretty correct
notion Of this hero-his extreme irrita-
bility, his lofty notion of himself, his
craving ambition forhomage from every
body-we can easily imagine that the
oftense which his wife, who seems to
have been q very quiet, amiable lady,
committed was very slight. Mr.. Fors-
ter so tells the story as to make the
world believe that certainly Mrs. Lam
dor was most to blame, but it is oues-
tionable whether Mr.. Forster, in dealing
with contemporary heroes, does not
carry his worship to the verge of funk
eyism. Better leave the story of Dick
ems and his wife untold if the SON would
consent TO it. But perhaps he will not !;
perhaps he has long felt the injustice to
his mother ranking in his breast .nd is
now determined to have the truth pub
lished. If so there Will at least be one
advantage-the revelation will put q
welcome end to the vexatious disputa-
tons and improbable exclusive explana-
tons which are always forthcoming at
dinner tables and elsewhere when the
name of Dickens is mentioned.-Livsr-
