Strawberry GrOscin0.

In field culture, strawberries should be
set out in rows three or three and a half
feet apart, and about eighteen inches
apart in the rows. Set them as soon as
the ground becomes dry, not far from the
first of May. Mark of the ground when
we'll Hertilised with fine stable dung and
properly prepared, and drop the plants
along rows as near eighteen inches apart
as possible, and set them nearly as soon
as dropped, so that the roots will not be
long exposed to the sun, if the weather
be clear. The roots should be spread out
as set, and press down the soil upon them
with YOUR foot on both sides Of the plants.
A good way to mark off the rows Is to
have a. stout line 10 reach across the
ground to be planted, and to be set with
stakes at each end. Then with a spade
the holes for the plants can be made rap
idly by placing the back Of it against the
line pressing it down with your ioot, and by
one operation throw out sufficient earth to
give room for plant. Or the marking
NAV be done with corn marker, If you
have one that marks not over three and
half feet apart and the holes may be
made with a spade or hoe, whichever way
YOU can make them the most rapidly.
The plants should be watered soon after
being set, unless the weather be cloudy or
the ground quite moist. When stable
manure cannot be obtained, superphos-
phate of lime may be used to advantage
if it be pure. Five hundred pounds per
acre will suffice, spread broadcast and
narrowed in then sprinkle little IN
each hole as the plants are set. Ashes
are also a good fertilizer. Or, in place
Of ashes, muriatc Of potash will do Us
well. 1t contains fifty per cent. OF pure
rotash, and is now quoted at So 10 $3.50
per 100 pounds, and less by the ton. The
following formula is said to produce very

have no doubt Of this fertilizer being
good, because potash is always valuable
for any crop. The fruit of plants set
this spring will be of no value till the
next season, when the largest crop may
be expected that they will produce, not
less than 100 bushels per acre, II the va
riety grown be good, and if the soil be
rich and well cultivated. The Wilson Is
still considered the best market berry by
many but the Charles Downing is be-
ginning to take its place, it being nearly as
prolific, and the quality of the fruit much
better. One hundred dollars per acre Is
often cleared on this crop over all expen-

Trimming Plants ,cAHe Growing

Everyone admires l beautiful form IN
4 plant, an eyenness Of growth Of the
various branches TO give fine balance
10 it. There are some plants whose hab-
its are naturally scraggy and uneOuth.-
While they are growing, little nipping
back of the leading branches with the
fingers, or with pair Of shears, will hold
them IN check, while other branches will
be encouraged to grow to the same size.
The Lemon Yerbena, for instance, seldom
makes a slightly shrub, when left to itself,
although /: is 4 favorite, owing to its
sweet scent and delicate green. BY prun-
Ing back the leading branches it will soon
grow into a well rounded, closely formed
shrub. If you wish it to grow tree
shaped, encourage it to grow tall by nip
ping back the ends of side limbs till ii
has acquired the right height, then to
prevent growing one-sided and TO make il
well formed, nip back all the shoots that
are out Of balance. The same system car
be applied 10 roses geraniums, and, IL
fact, to any plants that are desired L
grow into better shape. 1t is not at al
necessary TO cut branches off close to tn,
stalk; in fact it is better not to do 50
But little nipping back Of the ends o
growing shoots is all that is required.

A philosophical observer has this to
say about 1.-the old maid of the period y
She don't shuttle ronnd in "skimpt' raj

gloves, nor has she hollow cheeks. The
modern old maid is round and jolly, two
dimples in her cheeks, and has laugh
as musical as u bobolink's song. She
wears nicely lifting dresses and cunning
little ornaments about her plump throat,
and becoming little knots and bows. She
goes to concerts, and parties, and sup
pers, and lectures, aud matinees, and she
don't 90 alone. She carries dainty par
asol, and wears killing bonnets, and has
live poets and philosophers in her train,
In fact, the modern old maid is as good
as the modern young maid she has sense
and conversation as well as dimples and
curves. and she has 4 bank book and div

A6sor6eiIts in Manure.

When manures are left over season
to decompose, absorbents Of the ammonia
in them are always beneficial. Plaster is
decidedly the best absorbent Of the gases
in manure pile that is known to exist,
and it may be sprinkled among the ma
nure when the pile Is made-not much,
say barrel Of plaster 10 what manure
ten head Of cattle will make IN season.
Lime has a tendency to set the gases
ammonia free and 1t should never be
used in 4 compost heap, except when
much coarse matter is to be decomposed.
Nor are ashes any benefit to the heap,
over their value when used alone. swamp
muck Is good, if placed in alternate layers
OF manure and muck throughout the heap
and left a season TO decompoSe and unite.
All compost heaps should be made with
their tops fiat, or = little concaye, to catch
the rain 10 keep the heaps moist. In
England the system Of composing is car
ried to perfection. They pack their ma
nure in oblong heaps, and shovel them
over two or three times during the sum
mer to hasten decomposition, and apply
such fine manures to their lands the next
season. Here We cannot 50 well afford
the labor of composing in that manner ;
consequently many farmers apply all their
stable dung to their land fresh and IN
decomposed. Some crops, however, re-
quire well-rotted manure to grow in per-
lection, and every farmer may proftably
have small compost heap to supply him
with fine manure when It IS needed
