PERENNIAL STRAwBERRIEs.-- I'VE last
week witnessed the strange spectacle of
strawberry patch growing in the open
air week before Christmas. The garden
is about six miles above the town Of So
quel. Mr.. Thompson, the owner of the
rancho, informed US that at any day or
month in the year he could 90 into the
patch aud gather at least twenty quarts
of the luscious berries in short time.
He now has in cultivation 5000 vines,
which occupy half an acre Of ground, and
from these be has gathered during the
past year 5000 quarts of the large Grim
son beauties. Half of this quantity he
sold in the local markets at an average of
twenty cents per quart, aud the other half
he gave away to his neighbors, as there
was no demand for them from buyers.
Blossoms green, and flaming red, ripe Der.
ries, smile, look sedate and blush, side by
side the whole year through, on the same
vine, Not let US see if this crop pays b i'm.
To start with, they are not as much trou-
Bile to cultivate as a patch of spring beans
would be; then at an average Of twenty
cents per quart, the half acre of ground
would net him 5000 year year.-Sdnta

1t is stated that the farmers in Nebraska
have commenced the domestication of the
buffalo. The wild animals, while young,
are introduced among herds of tame
stock--only one or two at time. Half
and quarter breeds are found to be very
hardy, and in the yield of milk the COWS
raised of mixed stock give even more than
the average yield of rich milk. The ex-
pertinent promises well, as the endurance
of the wild animals is impaired to the do
nestle stock. In this way the extermina-
tion of the species will take a new form,
and when the buffalo becomes Legendary
creatures the progeny of the race will still
exist in a modified, though probably more
useful form. EfHEi5

The agricultural editor Of the Reading
Times aud Dispatch says ;--Farmers may
succeed in making clover grow on grass
lands, without plowing the land, if the sod
is not thiekly covered with grass, open in
places between the tufts, so as to admit
Of narrowing in the seed. Sow the seed
quite thick as early in the spring as the
ground will admit, and be dry. Then run
fine tooth harrow over the land till the
seed is covered, or the most of it mixed
with the ioosened earth; then roll the land
and in due time crop Of clover will ap-
pear; but it will be in danger Of being
smothered by the grass, perhaps; and if it
be, when the grass has grown high enough
to be cut by mower, it should be cut
and fed green to stock; and if plaster be
soWn on the land, as soon as the clover ap-
pears, it viii get such growth in few
weeks that the grass cannot check it.
Fields that are not well covered with grass
may be improved in this manner, or other
grass seed may be sown instead of clover
aud several kinds Of grass seed would be
better than one kind. Perhaps it would
be better to pasture such lands till the new
seeding gets good growth, rather thar
cut the grass when it is but few inches
high. There is no good reason why far.
mers should not experiment in this way
sometimes Then let them seed down a
plowed field to grass next spring, without
the usual grain crop. have known a
good crop Of hay to be cut the first season
on fields thus seeded; and be sure that you
seed with several kinds of grasses, which
produces firmer sward, aud one that viii

kind will. Faa. .nr ar

HAY.-The farmers of Cecil county,
Md, are packing their hay and shipping
it to market. George Oldham, near Zion,
has had Messrs. JAS. A. Davis 4 Co. S
horse power packer at his farm and fin
ished up his crop, amounting to 101 tons,
which he disposed of at S13 per ton.
John Carhart, of Zion, had the same ma
chine in operation at his barn, last week,
and finished packing about go tons, his
surplus hay for market. This machine
packs 10 tons per day, with four men and
two horses, pressing it in bales weighing
l6s pounds, and doing it in very com
plete and compact manner, without the
use of sticks, working somewhat on the
principle Of a sausage suffer. Ii. NJ.
Cameron has also packed and shipped a
large quantity of fine hay. Cecil county
hay has a good reputation in the Baltimore
market, commanding two or three dollars
per ton more than hay from other sections.
This is attributable, some of the best far
ners Of that section argue, to the exten-
siye use Of bone as fertilizer, which they
claim produces hay of better quality than
any other ertilzer.-Or Oxford, Pa, Press.

Lattner and Helm

Our correspondents, "Citizen" and
Justice" when writing of the killing
OF the old negro Brown, seem to labor
under a mistaken idea of the course
Messrs. Lattner and Helm have pursued
with reference to this most unfortunate
affair. The well-known character OF
these men precludes the thought that
they would under any circumstance will.
fully take the life OF u human being, and
no ono familiar with the facts concern.
ing the killing OF the old negro for a
moment believes that they intended to
kill him. We know that both OF
them Immediately after the old man
died expressed desire that the whole
matter should be investigated, and to
that end asked that an inquest be held.
The officers of the law are the men who
are most to blame in this matter. Messrs.
Helm and Lattner have done all that
could be expected OF them under the
circumstances, and II the officers fail to
do their duty II. and L. should not be
held responsible for them.
