HINTS ON STRAWBERRY CULTURED.
g. Talbot gives the AassGehuSetS Plough.
man his views on strawberry culture as
follows:
Having received many letters Of inquiry
on the subject, and as make strawber-
ries specially, perhaps q few hints in re-
gard to the method may be of some use
to beginners. One man asks is the
spring as good a time 10 set plants as the
fall. I had thought that every one knew
that the spring was the best time; but it
seems they do not, and I will say that the
spring is the only time, (no matter what
may be said In books 10 the contrary
Set them in the spring BY all means, and
the earlier the better. The next letter
reads: "Will you tell me which is the
best kind Of land" l do not think it
makes much difference, with plenty Of
manure, but prefer deep sandy loan,
as 1t Is much more easily cultiva.
tod. Ono man wishes TO know how
many plants are needed to set an acre,
and the best way. To set an acre 1t takes
from fourteen 10 twenty-five thousand
plants, depending upon how thicly
they are set. My way Is to have the
rows three feet apart, and the plants
eight inches apart In the row, cultivating
with horse hoe between the rows, and
with hand hoe between plants. 1t will
save much trouble If the rows are made
exactly equal distances apart. have
tried hard to believe that the hill system
was the best, but as have had poor sue
cess trying TO raise strawberries In hills
do not recommend it In regard to which
kind is the best, 1t depends so much upon
tho soil that no one can tell until they
have tried several kinds. One man that !
knew Of has tried most every kind, and
has finally given the preference to the
Cutter Seedlings, but taking everything
into consideration, I think the Downer's
Prolific the best. To those who have q
limited supply Of manure, I would say the
DoWner Prolific by all means, for 1t will
bear neglect and still give Q good crop,
but with high cultivation theyield Is enor-
NOUS. The Wilson will not do much ex-
cept It has the right kind Of land, what
that kind Is do not know; every quart Of
the Wilson costs me more than four quarts
Of the Downer. AS for the fancy kinds,
with high prices and pretty names, the
farmer had better let them alone.

The Political Trouble in West Vir.
giniu.
From the n. Y. Post)

Riniu'
From the n. Y. P0stl
The political quarrel in West Virginia,
which I'D; Tor Il lew days threatened the
peace OF the State, arose from the fact
mat the ruling faction were not willing
TO submit 10 the constitutional rules
which they pretend TO administer. The
late Constitutional Convention In that
State made several good amendments
among which was one cOnlGrring the
power to appoint nearly all the subor-
Innate State officers upon tho Governor,
Bat Governor Jacob is not entirely in &C
cord with the majority in the Legislature,
whose friends have been overlooked in
the division of the offices. So the Legis-
lalurc adopted u law giving certain ap-
poiltments, among them that oil Supcrin'
Iendent Of the Penitentiary, TO the Board
OF Public Works. Their candidate for
this office undertook TO assume his du-
Ties, but was refused admission to the
premises, Governor Jacob having ordered
tho present superintendent to hold the
office at all hazards Finding that they
cannot force themselves into the offices
this faction now proposes TO appeal 70 inc
courts.
II VIC arc rightly informed Of tho pro-
visions under which the Governor acts,
ho has simply exercised his authority IN
del the new Constitution, and the affair
will be dropped at this point, A political
faction which attempts to override the
law will seldom push its claims before
the courts. That West Virginia has cs.
capped a condition Of affairs similar to
that III Louisiana is due TO the pluck oil
Governor Jacob, who has disregarded
the threats of impeachment and violence
and performed his duty conscientiouSly
as he understands II.
