nevertheless be observed, for the DEGREES
of fashion are absolute, and it is thought
better by many to lose watch IN the

Strawberries in Reda.

My ground is clayey, and will
grow large berries and runners for
plants at the same time; so it is not
necessary for me to clip off the run
ners when the plants are bearing
fruit. AS early in the spring as the
ground can be worked l prepare the
ground and set the plants. 1 make
the beds five feet wide; the paths
eighteen inches wide. If the beds
are wider, the middle of the bed will
be too far distant to reach when
standing in the path, taking care of
the plants and gathering the fruit.
If narrower, there will be too large
proportion Of the land devoted to
paths. The plants I set are of the
previous years growth, which can
be told by their having whitish
roots; older plants have brown or
black roots. l set three rows of
plants lengthwise of the bed; the
plants two feet distant from each
other in the rows; the outer rows l
set eighteen inches in from the line
of the path, and the plants in the
two rows are set opposite each 9th
er, so that the plants in these two
rows are two feet distant from each
other each way. The plants in the
middle row are set opposite to the
center of the spaces in the outside
rows. In taking care Of the plants
the first season, l train some of the
runners to the places where they
are wanted, and pin them down with
a wire hook at the time they are
taking root, in order that the bed
shall be equally covered with plants.
In the latter part of the season,
when the beds become covered with
plants, I clip of the runners in or
der to strengthen the growth of the
plants on the bed. The wire pins
spoken of are made Of bonnet wire
size, about four inches in length, one
eud bent like the bend in hair pin.
Pins with a hook, made from the
tWig of a tree, will answer the same
purpose. If my land were sandy or
gravelly, or that which is called
warm land, 1 would dispense with
the middle row CT plants in the bed,
so as to not have the bed too much
overrun with plants.-Countgy Gen

Tie COMING wool cor.

The National Crop Reporter, for
merly of Jacksonville, Illinois, is
sued its first number from Indian
apolis on Saturday. The following
is an abstract of the leading infor-
nation presented:
From estimates of correspondents,
dated March Is, in relation to the
comparative number and condition
of sheep to be sheared this spring,
the probable comparative weight of
feeces, deductions are made as fol-
lows: The States of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Min1esota, Missouri,
Ohio and Wisconsin reported of
sheep of all kinds in 1873 total of
nearly 10,016,9OO. The estimated
increase over last year iu the num-
Der to be sheared averages for the
eight States one and one-half per
cent, and assuming the rate of in
crease in the number of all kinds to
have been the same, the result is an
aggregate Of a trifle over IO,127, 900
sheep.
In obtaining the probable yield of
wool the rate of three and one half
pounds per fleece is made the basis,
which places the total clip of last
year, in the eight States named, a
little more than six and one-half
million pounds. The estimates of
the Crop Reporters correspondents
indicate for this year an average
falling off in the weight of fleeces,
the result leaves a profitable short
age this year in the States named
amounting to little over l, 100000
pounds of wool.
The past winter has been general
ly very favorable for sheep-breeding,
and while the average condition
March 18th was over one per cent.
better than at the same date last
year, the increase of lambs has been
considerably greater as compared
with the previous winter.
In most localities ordinary spring
work, March 25th, was quite forward,
but subsequent to that date snow
and rain-storms caused a general
cessation of blowing and planting.

A Suggestion to the President.

The New York Times, after detail
ing some of the leading features ot
the Sanborn affair, as brought out
by the Ways and Means Committee
says:
''To us they are both disgusting
and discouraging, and they call fol
immediate and thorough treatment
That treatment cannot now come
wholly from Congress. That body
can repeal the law that occasioned
this miserable business and can an.
nul the contracts, which ought long
since to have been annulled by the
Secretary. But they cannot imme-
diately cause the resignation oi
Messrs. Richardson and Sawyer
That lies, at present, in the power OF
the President only. If he values the
good name of his administration
and that of the great party which he
represents, as he ought to value
them, he will lose no time in exercis-
ing his power"

From Tinsley's Magazine.
The Nearest WAY Home.

''The shortest way by half q mile
I come so very often by it
Is up the road, across the stile,
And through the meadow. Shall we try it?"
The days were not without charm
When, talking soft and looking silly,
My love and walked arm in arm.
The lanes were lone and fields were Silly.
We found so many things to say,
That always in the shiny weather,
We took the-well, the shorter way,
To be a longer time together.
We spoke about Out goodness knows
Our topics of confabulatiOn)
About the weather, suppose,
The crops, the harvest, and the nation.
At all events, although the talk
Was neither wise nor witty,
We ended each successive walk
With "Home already-what pity!''
We might have lost a little ground
Through coming by the road selected,
But both agreed that we had found
The journey shorter than we expected.
Can life's experiment support
The parOdox that love proposes?
Does any path seem very short,
Unless it be path of roses?
We seldom find the nearer way,
And if we hit upon and take it,
By creeping on from day to-day
It seems as long as length can make it,
The road to fame is never brief,
The way TO wealth is dull and dreary;
All earthly routes, in my belief,
Are very long and very weary.
Nay-one that leads through care and strife
Is short, when mortals once begin it;
We take the near cut out of life,
Although we take the longest in it.
