VIVA, Strawberries to Plant.

Every spring | receive scores Of letters with
the inquiry, What variety of strawberry do
you advise to plant and invariably do |
have to answer that no one variety suits all
tastes nor all soils and climates. The bearing
season Of any one variety is hardly longer
than two weeks, so that to extend the luxury
of strawberries as long as possible it requires
at last three varieties under any circumstances.
From many years careful observation at
our own fruit farm as well as from the results
Of fruit growing on soils different from ours,
| recommend for general cultivation the fol-
lowing select list of strawberries as best
adapted to the widest extent of territory aud
the different systems Of cultivation
On heavy soil Nicanor for early Wilton
and Charles Downing for medium or maio
crop, Tromph dc Grand aud LUCINDA for late;
Napoleon III. for the latest. Ga light soil,
Downer for early Wilson and Charles Down
ing main crop Seth Boyden and Green
Prolific late; aud Kentucky for latest.
All of these varieties are valuable for the
market on account Of their frmness. In the
home garden, however, where the hardness
of the fruit is of but secondary Importance |
would not omit the exquisitely aromatic
BLACK Defiance" and the pineapple favored
"Lennigs White"
On the judicious selection Of varieties aud
the quality of the plants depend much of the
treatment Of the plants when received FROM
the nursery. Spring is the best time for
planting. From the thawing of the ground
TIL the opening of the blossoms the planting
may be done with more safety than at any
other season of the year. When the field or
bed has been well prepared by deep ploughing
or spading and thorough pulverlzatlon OF the
soil, with iutermxing Of plenty of manure
the plants should be set out as soon as recoi
we'd If, however the ground is not ready
or for some other cause the planting has Il
be deferred open the package or box at once
The plants may have become heated, and, a
the temperature in the packages increases,
: few hours delay may destroy their vitality
If the plants are found to be warm, oper
each bundle, take the plants apart and pu
: them between clean, damp moss in cellar
la this way they may be left for one or tw'
days without injury, but when the planting
] to the permanent bed cannot be done beior
several days, they should be heeled in care
J fully. With a spade or q hoe make trcncl
-, as deep as the roots Of the plants are long
: place the plants, with their roots straightene'
alongside of each other against enc bank o
5 the trench and cover the roots, about one inc
deep with fine pulverzed soil, press thi
firmly down and ill up to the level Th
soil must be well up and around the crown
of the plants without covering them, Shout
: the ground be very dry, free watering i
the evening will be beneficial. Thus plant
i may be left without risk for weeks if neces
9 sary, but Of course the sooner they ar
! transferred to the permanent bed the better

Training Steers and Heifers.

Editors Country Gentleman - believe
that cows that are teuderly and frequently
petted and handled during CESSATION drop
calves that are gentler aud more docile than
those do who are often frightened aud handled
roughly during that period Hence | take
special pains at that time with my cows that
they shall have the gentest aud best of care,
As soon as the calf is dropped, | commence
TO feed and handle it, passing my hand often
gently all over its body aud up and down its
legs. 1t soon learns to drink its milk at my
hands, and recognize me as its protector and
friend. pursue the same gentle course with
il, il il is a heiier, till she comes into milk
with her first calf, aud ever afterward card
her, mess her aud handle her bag gently il
it is hard and swollen anont it with linseed
oil or lard, or battle it with tepid water to
soften and take out the inflammation from it
and tougher it, and by constant kind and
gentle treatment toward her, she becomes
very docie loves to be handled and MIXED
and looks up to me not only as her master
but as her protector aud friend. My cows
and heifers that train in this way never
offer to kick me when milk them, nor offer

nor ropes or straps to conhue them during
that tune, nor milking stools to break over
their heads to teach them wholesome feal
of me.
Steers handle and yoke up the first winte
before they are year old, and during tn,
following summer, to accustom them to thu
yoke and to walk side by side evenly together
The second winter put them to light sled
and put small rope around the nigh one
horns, not to guide them by, but to secur
them from running away from me by sud

Importance OF Frequent Change of Seed.

1t has long been observed BY Intelligent
farmers that seed or plants procured from dis
tant places, within the same collateral parallels
Of latitude, appear to grow with more
strength or vigor 10 their new stations than
when kept and cultivated 10 their native pla-
ces. On this fact all the rules for change
Of seed, or Of one species Of plants for an
other Of the same genus, are founded. a
change of seed is almost always practically
safe and eminently beneficial A change OF
Seeds sets or plabts from one description Of
soil to another, or from valley to mountain,
or rice uersa, seems TO possess ronova,ing
influence on the crops Ii is on this princi-
pie that the practice Of rotation Of crops Is
based. Pants appear TO become tired Of an
old station, except aquatic plants, which are
constantly receiving new elements OF nutrii-
on from fresh supplies Of water
| Land plants, as trees, for instance, occupy
the same spot for ages, but they at last 1eciy
from sheer decrepitude. The lateral extern
sion of the roots the lateral runners or Oft.
sets with which many Of them are furnished,
some above ground, as the strawberry, others
underground, as the couch-grass, thistle, etc.
shows that plants, like animals, require a
change Of pasture as well as change Of air.
| Every one well acquainted with the growth
Of plants knows that they require a frequent
change Of soil, though hut few consider that
a change Of air is also beneficial. Ii is well
known that some plants thrive much better IL
one locality than in another There ar,
many plants that never thrive, nor scarcely
live, in the smoky atmosphere Of London
but when removed to a distance Of twenty oil
thirty miles from that city grow luxuriautly
The Belgian farmer raises excellent crop
Of cereals, roots grasses, etc, aud they are
very particular in the selection Of seed, it
procuring it from foreign country, if posi-
BILE, and in sleeping it in liquid manure be
fore sowing. In the north OF Ireland, whcr
fax is grown extensively, the farmers prele
seed brought from Russia or Holland to tia
grown by themselves, as they fod the chang
very beneficial. The finest Dubious and tn
berous-rooted Towering plants arc annual.
imported into England, the Uni'ed State;
etc, from Holland aud Germany, and tn
change is very beneficial for two or thre
wears. Forost.trees, seeds obtained from tn
mountains of Tyrol, germiuate 10 other part
Of Europe with much greater yigor than tho;
Of home growth.
The commences and sound condition
agricultural seeds depend very much upon tn
D care bestowed by the scotsman in the selcC
ton OF his stock, and also on the character
the growers he employs. Foreign agricultt
raj seeds are sometimes damaged by kiln.drl
ing, admixture with deadened seeds of sou
4 cheap kind. Rape seed Is sometimes deadei
q ed by kilu-dryiug and then mixed with tn
:. nip or cabbage seed, to which it bears a clo'
resemblance. In importing seeds from 70
egn country, great caution is necessary
!. order to prevent imposition. Taunton Ga-cH
