The following details of management
for securing quickly bearing plants, are
given by William Parry
A full crop of strawberries may be had
next June from plants rooted in flower
pots, so as to set them out in August or
September; they then will require but
little cultivation, and that in October,
when grass and weeds make but feeble
growth. Our plan of preparing potted
plants after strawberry picking is over,
is to cultivate and pulverize thoroughly
between the rows, put on five hundred
pounds of guano per acre, and when the
plants send out runners, place small p
inch pots, filled with earth and plunged
into the soil the whole depth, under the
runners to receive the roots, which will
be confined in the pot and can then be
transplanted without injury, and will
continue to grow in their new situa-
ton the same as though they
had not been moved. Not one
in a hundred should fail, and if
the nners are cut off so as 10 throw
the whole strength of the roots into the
main crown, it will enlarge and develop
fruit stalks and buds, and bear full
crop, say from one to two pints per hill,
of the finest fruit, the following June, or
within two months from the time of plant
ing in the September previous. By this
method there is no loss of crop from
the ground during the summer the straw
berries are growing. One hundred
plants, so prepared, will give more fruit
the first season than 1000 planted in the
usual way. The plant forms stool
quicker, and much less time is expended
in keeping them clean. We planted
about 5000 potted plants for ourselves
in September on ground from which veg
etables had been removed they were
quite as large and well-developed at Sd
approach of winter as plants set in the
spring of the same year and cultivated
at great expense all summer, and Occur
plying the ground to the exclusion Of
other crops. From plants treated a
above described we got our largest berrie
and greatest yield.

nrx,nr FIonerrIn Ennd.

There are many of our brilliant flow
ers, such as dahlias, pansies, pinks, ger
aniums, sweet williams, carnations,
gladioli, which may be preserved so as to
retain their colors for years. White
flowers will not answer as well for this
purpose; nor any sueculent plant, as
hyacinthe or cactus. Take deep dishes,
of sufficient depth to allow the flowers to
be covered an inch deep with sand; get
the common white sand, such as is used
for securing purposes; cover the bottom
of the dish with a layer half an inch
deep, and then lay in the flowers, with
the stems downward, holding them
firmly in place while you sprinkle more
sand over them. until all the places be-
tween the petals are filled and the
flowers are buried out of sight. A
broad dish will accommodate quite q
large number, and allow sufficient sand
between. Set the dish in a dry, warm
place, where they will dry gradually,
and at the end of a week pour off the
sand and examine them; it there is any
moisture in the sand it must be dried
before using again, or fresh sand may be
poured over them the same as before.
Some flowers will require weeks to dry,
while others will become sufficiently dry
TO put away ia a week or ten DAYS. By
this simple process flowers, terms, etc,
are preserved in their proper shape, as
well as their proper color, which is far
better way than to press then. in books.
When arranged in groups and meussed,
on cards, or in little straw baskets they
may be placed in frames or under glass.

Agricultural lettings.

Watch well your pastures, and keep
up the feed by extra fodder if needed,
since no amount of after feeding the cows
will restore lost production.
New York state formerly supplied
Canada with cheese, and finally educated
her English neighbor to take the medal
at the centennial for the best cheese
Now Canada sends 50,0O0,OOO pounds
annually to England.
The marked contrasts so frequently
seen in adjoining farms is due rather to
the occupants, who differ in skill and
management far more than the land does
in quality. Enterprise and brains will
soon outweigh differences in soil.
Small hogs from two hundred to three
hundred pounds weight commanded
better price in English markets than
larger ones, which certainly shsws that
the pork eaters on the other side of the
Atlantic know the difference between
coarse and fine graded articles.
The hay crop was never better through
out the west than it is the present
season. The grass in the pastures are
very fine, which causes an abundant flow
of milk. The low price of dairy products
is partly DUE to the great amount of but
ter and cheese produced.

the state production has been seriously
falling off of late years.

The Evils of Hot Bread.

There is no law in this country to pre-
vent the consumption of hot bread but
the law of common sense, and unfortu-
nately that is dead letter as a govern
ing principle in the lives of great many
people. That hot bread in nine cases
out of ten will produce dyspepsia is no
newly discovered fact, and especially is
this terrible result sure to follow per-
sistent indulgence on the part of those
whose pursuits are quiet, in doors and
sedentary. And yet the leformers, or
those who call themselves such-thc men
and women who work themselves into a
white heat over the sale of a glass of
eIder-will go on year after year, not
only making no cutlery against this per-
nicieus indulgence, but actually filling
themselves up day 10y day with the hot
and poisonous gases of the oven. This
servant OF the housewife can be made as
terrible a stomach destroyer as the dis
tillery, and the sworn foes of the latter
are apt to be its best patrons. Dyspep-
STA paints the nose and sours the temper
as surely a dram drinking, and many
sufferers from the former, though by their
own williul acts, inveigh the most loudly
sgairst the latter. 4 well-defned case
of Jim jams is the climax to course of
;ntemperance and warns the victim that
his alternative is death or immediate re-
formation. But the dyspepsia that hot
bread, minee pie and kindred abomina-
tons cause has no sudden warnings. The
man who uses them goes on making both
himself and those around him wretched,
and refuses to acknowledge that he is a
sinner above those whose lighter faults he
fiercely condemns. Boston Post.

and picked as soon as dry. In packing,
the same rules should be observed as in
packing fresh eggs.
Watts built in cellar around the walls,
with about halt their depth below the
surface, about four or FIVE feet deep, six
feet long and four feet wide, are usually
considered the best for preserving eggs
in, although many use and prefer large
tubs made of wood. The place in which
the watts are built, or the tubs kept,
should be clean and sweet, free from all
bad odors, and where steady, low tenn
perture can be maintained-the lower the
better, that is, down to any point above

The little old woman's breath began

her instead. Then the baby awakened,
and seemed to find great deal too much

THE DEAD DEVIL-FISH.
SprauIed In His Enormous PrOPOrtiO
on the Aqua. Ium Floor.


Architenthis princeps was taken out Of
his cask of brine yesterday morning and
spread out at full length on t floor OF
the aquarium.
As the monster lay on the floor of the
aquarium its proportions could for the
first time lie accurately measured. Its
two long tentaCles each stretch out more
than twenty-four feet, and the length OF
the body from head to tail Is nine ieet, so
that the total length of the creature Is
rather more than thirty-three feet. The
furthest spread of its tentacles Is nearly
fifty feet. The breadth of the body Is
about four feet, and it is nearly foot IN
thickness. The eight short arms vary IN
length from seven to nine feet.
The beak of the squid resembles that
of a parrot 1t is OF a dark bOny sub
stance. and is placed on the under side of
the head edui-distant from the r0oY of
the tentacles. The beak of this specimen
is broken, but it has been 20 replaced
that its original position and structure
are readily seen. The tongue is like that
of snail, perhaps three inches in length,
and coated with fine teeth. The stomach
can be seen through the vents In the
PUPPY bag which covers it and few bits
of thin brown bone. the remnants of the
gills, can be pulled out to view by any
body who cares to introduce his hand
into the cavity of the head.

widow of a tenant farmer The family
have been thirty-six years tenants; the
farm contains 242 acres. The judges
speak of it as "like great market gar

planted on sod, wheat, barley or oats
