between rows two or two and a half feet
apart this operation disturbs the roots yerv

the fork lightly next to the rows, breaking
the crust, and slightly loosening the compac-

around the hill gently break the surface only.
lest you wound the roots starting out near
the crown and retard the growth and dwarf

moves backwards before his work, working

and it will be found by no means tedious.
1t is not necessary or proper to work around

ln this way the bed should be dressed in
the spring as soon as the soil is dry enough
to work, and as often afterwards as the sur

How to Preserve Brick Work.

The exclusion of damp from brickwork has
long been an important problem. One of tbe
most effective methods Of accomplishing this
object is the following: Three-quarters of a
pound of mottled soap are dissolved in ona
gallon of boiling water, and the hot solution
spread steadily with fiat brush over tie
outer surface of the brickwork, care being
taken that it does not lather; this is allowed
to dry for twenty-four hours; when solll.
tion, formed of quarter of pound of alum
dissolved in two gallons of water, IS applied
The soap and alum form an insolube varnisf,
which the rain is unable to penetrate. AMI
this cause of dampness is thus said to be e'.
tectually removed. The operation should
byperformed in dry, settled weather.
Another method is to use eight parts Oh nm
seed oil and one part of sulphur, heated to-
gether to 27S, in an iron vessel.

The Strawberry for the Garden-Plaut-
ing and Afterculture.

ing and Afterculture.
In my former article speaking of manure
for the new bed, said, "the formulas, say
well rotted manure"
wish to say here that well-rotted manure
is generally well spent manure, and l prefer
it pretty fresh, worked slightly into the sur
face.
To recapitulate little, the plants should
be virgin plants OF the same years growth.
Ground from which an early crop has been
taken, is the most feasible. 1t should be
highly enriched with good manure or super
phosphate of lime, or, what is better, a part
of both. The Wilson's Albany and most
other kinds will bear very rich soil and well
repay abundant dressing. The last of Au-
gust or the whole month of September is the
best time to plant. The earlier in September
the better the first crop. But where
plants are transplanted with balls OF
earth from bed not far distant / have con-
tinued to plant through the month OF Oc.o-
ber with entire success.
The first runners put forth are not so
strong as those of later growth. 1t is best,
therefore, to take off the early runners and
not root plants till the thick and vigorous
shoots come forth. la. ..ea
The ground and the plants being ready for
each other, the planter is next to determine
his distances. If he has but little ground.
two feet between the rows will do. But if
he has ground enough, it is better in all
cases TO give two feet and half. For the
strong-growing and broad-spreading varie.
ties, such as the Downer's Prolific and
the Kramer's Seeding, two and a hall
are important. For the Jucunda and other
moderate growers, one foot between the
plants in the rows is sufficient. For the Will
son and others of medium growth, fifteen
inches is better. The varieties of large
growth, as mentioned above should have a
foot and halt.
In setting plants not imbedded in balls of
earth, care should be used to separate and
spread out the roots and imbed them in fine
earth. In all cases it is best to pour small
quantity of water around the plant after it
is set, graduating the quantity to the condi-
ton of the soil, as wet or dry. In this way
Strawberries can be planted in a dry time as
we'll as any time.
The planting being thus effected, for the
first year it is only necessary to destroy
weeds and keep the soil light and mellow.

Postpone the Penalty for

We arc Informed that the books os

lection Of taxes in this County on the
18th inst. The time fixed by law at
which the collection without The renal-
ty closes is on the 18th inst thus allow
ing 1 days FOR the pcop'e Of this County
in which they can pay without the nd
aiti,u Of The penalty 1t is cvi,icut TO
every reasonable man that payment can
not be made i'll that length Of tim, II all
were at the Trcasurer's Office and he
were to receive night and day without
ccasing one moment. :. 1t is unreasonable
to talk about not extending he time, it
Is unjust, we are tempted to say that it
is iniluitous. Although some would be
proSnostics arc announcing that the
Legislature will not extend the tine we
feel confident that,hey well No set ot
men are so lost to all sense Of h 1nor and
so regardless Of the interests of their
constituents as to allow such fr0udt :.
AS the law now stands, the Exocutivc
officers arc not responsible for ti.s hin;
and cannot do anything to relieve til
people. The Legislature is alone re pon
sibe. They should have acted in regard
to this before their adjournment, but rs
they did not they ought to have met
sooner in this mouth to arrange it. We
would therefore advise every citizen
who cannot pay his tax by the 18th
int, to wait until the mec.in, Of The
General Assembly us they will be force d
by public sentiment to ar.auge th;s MAJ.
ter so as to allow considerable time for
the payment Of he taxes. If the tax is
not paid by the 18th inst no one can
lose by waiting AMI we arc confident
that tEey will lie relilvcd Of the penalty
At any rate We repeat that the Lcgisla-
trre is responsible for this and they
should bo made to shoulder it. IF thay
act properly and extend the time for a
mouth or two, there is no one more
willing to accord To them the credit, lue
such considerate ;ction, than we are
but Sif they should SO oppress the psople
as TO compel them to pay the penalty
when they could get no chancs to ply
the tax we must say that they will
deserve to meet the stornest rebuke ii
punishment at the hands Of their con.
s!itucnts. But we d. not fear this, and
hence, we say plv your taxes before the
