firmly rooted IN the soil, and they
will not produce much fruit the
next season; but when set in July,
they will bear a good crop Of
fruit the following year. The
best manure is well rotted COW
dung, TO be spread and forked in.
In garden culture, the best crop
may be obtained by setting the
plants in rows, two and a half
feet apart, and one foot apart in
the rows, and all runners to be
cut off, so as to leave each plant
by itself as it was first set out. If
the ground be highly MANFRED,
and the variety of berry fine and
lapge, the crop the next year, and
more especially the second may
be expected to be "wonderful."
Let the plants bear two or three
years, then make a new plantation
as before. Some astonishingly
large and fine berries have been
exhibited this season. / lately
visited a strawberry plantation
where ] saw berries as large as or
binary peaches.

IrOm sight--1nd set he eau solve
the most Intricate prOblcm in an IN
slant, or can perform II calculation
in less than minute that would re-
quire the work OF an hour by the
ordinary modes. For instance ::
We gave him the day of the month
and year OF our birth, and he told,
In less than half minute, our age
Is seconds, minutes, days and years.
Give him the day of the month
and the year ofany event, however,
remote, and he will instantly give
the day of the week.
We spent two hours with him
LIST Saturday, and Notwithstanding
we have often talked with him and
seen him display his wonderful
gifts, yet we always find something
new in him.
We placed column of figures
upon q paper, equal in length to
the columns of an ordinary sized
ledger, and called them off TO him
in rapid succession, and when the
last number was called he gave the
sum Without a moments hesitation.
He did not see the paper, and would
not have known a character on il
If he had. One hour later he re-
peated those numbers in the exact
order in which we called them to
him. We then began at the bottom,
and would call two or three num-
bers correctly, and then one incor-
reetly. and he would correct us by
by giving the proper number.
More mysterious than this to us,
Is the fact of his ability to give cor
rectly the time of the day or night,
whenever called upon, without any
reference whatever to time piece.
In this town the time pieces are
all regulated by railroad, or st.
Louis time. If you ask "Ieub" the
time, he will say: ''I am l5L min
100 P@SS inv II JOu haNO TdltEOdu
time you are so-and So" giving the
exact difference between sun time
and railroad time.
Another remarkable fact is, that
he gives the exact time of his local.
ity. If he is in Washington CITY
he gives Washington City time; if |
in San Francisco, the time there.
He cannot possibly do these things
by any method of calculating the |
passage time, for he will give the |
time as accurately when walked |
from sleep at night as if it were |
daylight and the sun shining.
There seems to be nothing too |
great in numbers for his mind to |
grasp, and yet, nothing too small. |
He can tell what the interest of one
cent would be for three seconds at
the rate of ten per cent per annum,
as readily and as easily as we could
tell the interest on one dollar for
one year at the same rate per cent.
He Is indeed the wonder of won
ders.

BUTTER MAKING.
One of the most experienced
creamery butter makers in the
State of New York made some
careful experiments, showing the
depth at which milk should be set
TO make the most butter. He says
Gin order to make the experiments
practical, / have set not less than
5000 to 1000 pounds of milk at
each test and carried the tests
through ten days trials, in order
to meet different states of atmos-
phere, giving you the average
result OF these ten days.
The milk in the cooling watts
that was set six inches deep re-
quired ii per cent. more in guam
tity to make a pound of butter
those watts where it was only four
inches deep, in each case
the watts being skinned at the
same interval of setting, and the
cream treated the same in each in
stance" The water used for
cooling was from springs, flowing
on the bottom, sides, and top of
the milk, which was perfectly
sweet when SKINNED. This state
ment goes to show that farmers
who make their own butter should
use shallow vessels to set the milk
in.
now TO COOL MILK.
1t is highly necessary to cool
milk as speedily as possible,
which is carried about town to
supply retail customers, and also
that which is sent to cities by rail,
as milk in warm weather decom-
poses rapidly, if not properly
cooled before being sent out. Mr..
Willard, the celebrated authority
in dairy matters, says: The
practice most in vogue with milk
men furnishing milk for city con
sumption is to have pool OF cool
water In the milk house. There
is q constant flow of water in and
out OF the pool. The milk is
placed in caus eight inches in di-
ameter by twenty inches doep,
which are sunk in the pool, care
should be taken that the water
comes up little above the line of
the milk in tho cans. The flow
OF water in the pool should be
sufficient to cool the milk TO GO
degrees, or a little below, in the
space Of one hour.
Milk cannot be cooled rapidly
in large quantities, consequently
the cans should not be any larger
than above stated. When milk
Is carried in a wagon in warm
weather in cans, to customers, 1t
is a good plan to surround the
cans with course sacking, being
first saturated with water, before
placing them around the cans.
RENEWING STRAWBERRY BEDs.
Strawberries, like all other crops.
to be grown in perfection, must
be cultivated with care, and the
land should be highly fertelized.
New beds may be set out as soen
as well rooted runners can be OBJ

LIVER PILLS,
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA hND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of 4 Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left SIDE; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for 4 rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are Costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally = considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied witha pain
ful sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. 4 slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofwcarincSs and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
priCkly sensation OF the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied th3t exercise would be bene-
fetal to hidl, yet lie can scarcely
summon up foititude enough TO try
it. In fact, lie di5tiusts every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease. but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER 10

Mr.. Speaker, the burdenso Of the Govern

there can be provided some remedy, altho'
the same may not be ample and complete.
The policy should be 10 give back To those
