TURKS VIcToRIoUs.-News reaches Lon
don of another engagement between the
Russians and Turks at Batoum. on the
18th, in which the Russians attacked the
heights defending this place on the border
Of the Black Sea, They were largely aug
mented in strength, and the attack was be-
gun with field artillery. The Ottoman
troops being intrenehed, poured a well di-
Feeted fire with both cannon and musketry,
with terrible effect. Taking advantage of
the shelter of wood, the flank of the
Russians, in the open plain below, was
turned with great slaughter. They were
compelled to withdraw. The loss Of the
Turks was comparatively insignificant; the
dead and wounded Russians exceeded f.
OOO; many guns were also lost. The en-
gagement lasted over eight hours of actual
lighting. That the Turk has not lost his
capacity for fighting is abundantlv proved
by this engagement. Making all due al
lowance for the Turkish sympathies in
the details, it is obYious that the Turks
made very gallant defense of their in
trenchments, that they inflicted very Sc
we're losses on the Russians. If the Turk
ish troops in Asia Minor-largely com
posed Of irregular bands. poorly armed and
badly oficered-can make such resistance
to the enemy as was shown here, the army
in Europe may fairly be expected to make
the Russian advance an affair of the ut
most difficulty and danger. It is evident
from the very guarded character of the
Russian operations on the Danube that
there is no disposition to make light of
Turkish pluck and prowess.

Cultivaiing Wheat.

Some experiments in sowing and cultivat.
ing wheat which are related in the report OF
the Department of Agriculture for June, and
which were made by farmer in Pennsylva.
mia, are worthy of notice. The experiments
have been continued for some years with I'M
varying success. The method adopted is not
new one, excepting in this country. In
England few farmers have practiced it for
many years with surprising results. 1t is to
sow the wheat in rows, leaving spaces be-
tween the rows for the use of the hoe or cul-
tlVator. In the case in question the wheat
was sown in drills opened by the plow from
narrowing lengthwise Of the drills, In the
Spring the rows were hoed by hand, in some
cases once and in others twice. with the effect
of bringing the yield from forty to over fiftv
bushels per acre. The quantity of seed sown
was about one bushel per acre. Theincrease
in the yield paid good profit for the extra
labor required. 1t is question that is inter
esting and timely at this season, if it would
not be worth while for many farmers to try
some similar experiments for themselves. If
the cultivation of such crops as peas, beans,
corn, and potatoes, always results in largely
increased yield over that of a neglected crop,
why should not the small grains be equally
improved by the same healthful process? We
- ~ soSoiai years thoroughly narrowed
our wheat fields in the spring with very great
beneht, and there is no doubt if more than
one narrowing could be given the IMPROVE
menu would be the better for it. As an i'm.
proVement upon the hand hoeing of the en-
terprising Pennsylvania farmers, we would
suggest that the rows of wheat be placed
12 inches apart, and be worked in the Spring
with a cultivator made to run small shovel.
pillow in each interval between the rows, the
cultivator being drawn by horse and guided
by hand. The cultivation might then be con-
tinued until the rows are no longer to be dis
tiDguished.- Men York Times.

''The Sunrise Never Failed Us Yet"
THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Strawberry Culture.

have noticed several inquiries of late in
your journal as to the best methods of cult
waiting strawberries, and the best varieties to
plant. Having had several years. experience
in cultivating small fruits, can confidently
give some hints that will prove of value, to
the beginner at least, if not to others.
First, do not plant many acres at the outset.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether this should ev-
. er be done. In few exceptional cases, large
acreage with near market, and the best man
agement. may have proved profitable, but
nearly all ventures of this kind by inexperi-
enced parties have proved the reverse. A
half acre up to two acres is enough to expert
ment with. Even then the land should be
planted two or three years to such crops as
will nearly exterminate all troublesome weeds
and grasses. The land should be made rich,
so that after the vines are planted, little top
dressing will be required to urge on the grow
ing plants. If barnyatd manure is used on the
growing plants to enrich the soil, or as a cover
ing for protection in winter, this will start the
clover and other grasses so as to render Sec
ond crop Improbable in consequence of the
extra labor in keeping them clean. Vines that
are not kept clean are never proftnble. Bet
ter get the land In good condition before
planting. "Make haste slowly" is the cor
rect rule here, as elsewhere. Vines planted
on rich, clean land, can be easily protected by
second profitable crop.
The best manner Of planting is in rows two
feet apart land one IN row., or possibly three
feet, in the case of rampant runners, like
Downing's Seeding and Monarch Of the
West. Wilson's should be about the distance
first named. Cultivate in early spring the
first year, and keep all weeds out, so as to
avoid any disturbance of the plants in dry,
hot weather. If the weeds become large, the
labor is increased, and the life of the plants
endangered, if not destroyed, by working
them.
As to varieties-plant only wel-known
kinds at first. When you have succeeded
with these, there will be time enough for you
to purchase few of these high-priced, new
varieties, yearly advertised as 'the best berry
ever grown" The Wilson, Charles Down.
ing, LUCINDA, Trlomphe de Gand are safe to
plant; the first two on light or heavy soils,
and the last two on heavy only. To obtain
the best results, in the case of the former all
runners should be encouraged to grow, to pro-
duce quantity. In case of the latter, cut off
runners 10 encourage size and quality

Hungarian Gra s. .

We have frequently had occasion to refer to
the great value of the Hungarian Grass. The
following direct testimony thereof from one of
the most intelligent agriculturalsts of the
country, DR.. George B. Loring of Massachu-
sets, is worthy of the attention of every one
who has stock to feed. In the course of his
address at the last New England Fair, he said
that he had for several years been growing
this grass in smallpatches, and with such
great success, that the last spring he was in
duced to sow twenty-five acres, and he finds
it to be one of the most useful and profitable
grasses for home consumption. 1t has not
the advantage, he admits, of other grasses
that begin to grow early in the spring, and
the colder the spring the better for them.
The Hungarian will not thrive in cold wealth
er, and must not be sown until the warm
months. 1t can be put in at the same season
that you plant corn, but il earlier, the weeds
will have the start of it, and consequently
there will be but poor show of a crop. 1t
should have warm, rich loan, the land
properly MANFRED and well cultivated, and in
eight or nine weeks crop of two or three
tons per acre can be raised, and it makes eX-
cellent hay. Three pecks or bushel per acre
is about the right quantity of seed, but the
larger quantity is best, as it will so thorough.
ly occupy the ground as to keep out the
weeds. DR.. Loring thus speaks of its advan-
tages for feeding to stock :-'T have seen
horse restored from bad condition, in the
months of November and December, quicker
by Hungarian grass than by any other kind
of food. I have fed 1t great deal to mich
cows, and think as much milk can be made
from Hungarian grass as from any other kind
of grass, if properly cut and mixed with lit
tie shorts or meal. 1t spends well it is use
full for feed. have been unable to ascertain
that there is any foundation for the opinion
that it is injurious to cattle. 1 fed it to a
horse, and it did not hurt him; it did him
good. do not know any objection to it.
And ifyou let it grow until it is going out of
blossom and the head formed, you will find
that it will not shrink so much as you sup
pose it would in drying, and when dried its
weight is nearly equal to that of herdsgras s
which is about the heaviest grass we have.

Keep Manures in Summer.

Most farmers lose the bulk of summer fer.
tilizers by suffering it to be washed away in
the ponds and creeks, or else by allowing it to
leach and lose the chief essential which makes
plant-food, by exposing to the SUMS rays or
the winds and rains during warm weather.
Now, to keep manure made by soiling green
crops or by feeding with dry food and grain,
that naturally waste themselves in the sur
rounding atmosphere. To do this
the farmer must turn chemist,
tor the moment and see what other in
gradients will neutralze valuable substances
and hold them in the compost until they be
come plant-food. Fortunately we have very
cheap and common substance, viz: gypsum
land-plaster, that answers this purpose admir-
ably. Ammonia carbonic acid, uric acid,
phosphorous and nitrogen all have a strong
affinity for the sulphate of lime, or gypsum,
and will chemically unite with it upon all oc,
casions, and form a new compost or salts,
that will not evaporate in the air very readily
and can be used as one of the very best fertil-
izers for almost all classes Of crops grown in
the temperate zone.
In order to make land plaster available, the
manure should be heaped up; and whenever
six to twelve inches deep good coating of
"land- plaster should be scattered over it,
and the process continued during winter or
summer, SO long as the compost is being in
creased, 1t is best to keep the compost heap
but even without shelter, this treatment will
preserve the greater part of the strength of
the fertilizing part of the manures.
Gypsum costs less than any other kind of
fertilizer. As top dressing for clover corn,
tobacco, wheat or grasses, and from its power
OF attracting ammonia, PHOSPHORUS, &c.,
from the atmosphere, adds more to the
strength of the soil than any other fertilizer
of equal cost.
Millions might be saved the country
each year if our farmers would properly pre-
serve all the manures that can be made on the
farm, and then skilfully use them. We only
speak on this subject to awaken ad interest in
source of profit that ought to be familiar to
every farmer in the land.-Er.
