Setting Out Strawberries.

SOME are inclined to set out their straw.
berries in August and September Tt is
not the best time in this climate May is
much better time, though it any small
beds are needed, and Elephants are near al

there are plenty of rains. As a rule we
advise only spring planting, We find
some good hints in the New York Tribune
about making beds, which will Happily either
in spring or fall: &si - ze
I,q 8 There is not much danger of making
land too rich for strawberries, especially if
it has been cropped for several years pre-
vious. TWENTY-FIVE tons of stable manure,
however, ought to be good dressing for
an acre of sod turned under in the fall, and
the fifty tons you have on hand will proba-
bly, be sufficient for the two acres. If the
plants do not grow as rapidly asgdesired,
then add ashes or ground bone, asa top
dressing, as this is the best way to apply
those materials. "A dressing Cof lime and
ashes might be applied with benefit in the
spring, after the first blowing, say, twenty
bushels per acre of the first and five of the
latter. ssIhese will aid in the decomposi-
ton of the vegetable matter in the SOIL but
add very little in the way of a fertilizer
but the ashes and ground bone may be APP
piled with benefit, and at any time Of the
year, butjustafter the fruit is gathered in
summer will give the plants a Vigorous
start in the fall The hoeing or .cltltiVating
will mix these materials into the soil deep
enough to reach the roots, and do more
good than to be plowed under deeply. A
ton of either will not be toorheavy a dress
ing, if worked in with a hoe or cultivator.
If applied just before a Shower there will
be no danger of injuring the leaves Of the
plants. st. Pant Pioneer Press.

Early Feeding of Hogs.

q No ONE except he has had the expert
ence knows how importantit is to begin
early in the fall to feed hogs for market.
Even if, the fatting process is intended to
be kept up~untl late in the winter the
feeding can be made profitable if the
hogs are young, of good breed iahd Sc
ponds wholly upon scientific knowledge
and skill in the management, for it is
we'll known that swine continue to thrive
a certain length of time when fed in the
ordinary way and to feed differently the
farmer must know how BY beginning
to feed early, before the corn hardens,
this may be done without extra care. In
fact the swine may with profit be turned
into the field if not put on too large q
portion at once. 1t is necessary to bring
them up to full feed gradually, during
a period of two or three weeks, before
giving them george" of the fresh ears,
which is liable to founder them in such a
manner that they seldom fully recover
from it.. uf
Early feeding adds flesh more rapidly
than late and puts on thick covering of
tatduring the warm Weatherto protect them
during the colder season of winter. The
early fed corn being soft is easily digested
and assists the fatting process greatly, as
all know who have tried cooked food for
stock. We have Known many farmers to
delay the feeding of their hogs until late
in the fall, so that they might save their
corn and hit a late market for their pork,
but we never knew one to secure the best
results in that way.
Grass is an excellent adjunct to corn as
long as it is available. The exercise nee
essary to get it is desirable to promote
health and muscular development. Large
and vigorous growth can bepronioted in
no other way The flesh can be laid on in
close confinement with profit if done
quickly and the hog sent to the market
before a retrograde movement cuts off the
increasing weight. We do not advise eX-
ercise after the animal becomes so bur-
dened with flesh as not to be able to move
with a reasonable degree Of effort, for at
this stage of existence he is usually APP
preaching very near the most profitable
time to dispose of him. @
viii the readers of the Western Raral
compare the income of the successful
breeder with the hundreds who are not
successful, and decide how necessary it is
to think about the manner of doing things?

Gen. CrOOke's Milk.

an evening the General does d little gar,

when a venerable gentleman and two
young and lovely ladies drove pin bas

preached Gen. Crooke, he cried out;
Hi! my man, can you get us a glass of
milk?" Ett
~ will, with pleasure" said the General,
I as soon as he saw the sweet faces of the
two young ladies in the barouche
The General fastened into the house
and soon returned with three glasses of
milk on silver salver. The pretty young
ladies quaffed the delicious fluid and
wiped their dainty mouths, and the ven.

then brought it down empty and smacked

quaffed the second glass he again fired off

"Well," said the General, smiling good
humoredly, the fact is, I'm in the whole
sale business and don't charge for trife
like this"
"I'm sure we're very much obliged, ="
said one of the young ladies, smiling
sweetly and slightly blushing, in which
beautiful accomplishment she was even
excelled by her companion.
The General saw they were embarrassed
and said, with that graceful politeness for
which he is famous: "Please cail again
when you pass this way; / shall always
be delighted to give drink of milk"
The venerable gentleman lifted his hat
and bowed, and The young ladies again
smiled so deliciously that the Generals
] head began to swim, and, when he recov-
cred, the barouche was rolling along in
the distance.

A Brave Woman.

Mrs. Morgan Calvert, young widow
who lives with her brother two miles from
this place, was left alone in her isolated
house for several days last week. On
Thursday afternoon a rough fellow called
at the house and, after asking Mrs CAL
vert many questions, begged for supper
and nights lodgings. He was refused.
Thereupon he went away muttering to
himself. A little later Mrs. Calvert was
obliged to go out, and on her return she
saw man crouching behind the door be-
tween the sltting-room and her bedroom
He did not seem to see her and she saw
him only through narrow crack. There
were firearms in the house and Mrs. Cal
vert knew how to use them. Without an
outcry she went upstairs and got re-
volver and, hiding it under her apron,
started boldly for the room in which the
tramp was lurking AS Mrs. Calvert ap-
preached the door the man threw it open
suddenly, jumped out and struck her in
the face. Recovering quickly from the
blow, she drew her pistol, upon seeing
which the tramp turned to flee. She fired
Cnce and wounded him and then started
to pursue him. AS he disappeared around
the house she fired again, at which he
turned about and cried. Don't shoot
again, woman; l am dead man now"
AS he spoke he staggered against a fence
and then fell. He begged for aid and
Mrs. Calvert arranged him in a comforta-
able position, after which she started for
a physician. AS she approached the house
the tramp who had first called upon her
rushed out and escaped; and under the
great excitement she fell fainting near the
roadside. Two hours later she was dis
covered by friends, who listened to her
story and went to find the man whom she
d wounded. He was lying dead

died last February at Hyeres, France, de

in the nearest church-yard, which has
given rise to a novel lawsuit. His widow
