SETTING STRAWBERRIES.

Where one has plants of their own to set,
matters little whether done III dry or wet
weather, providing it is done rightly. For
heavy, stiff soil, however, we prefer to set
Them out when the surface is dry, for If
worked when wet, the soil around the plants
becomes hard and checks plant growth.
One of the main requisites OF setting
strawberries in dry weather, is to spread the
roots out well when set. and water the same;
aud the best way to spread the roots is to
have them rinsed free from soil, and with
lrowe dig out hole. and III this place the
root, and then pour in water enough to part
ly NIL the hole or SO that the roots will be
covered, and on this draw earth quickly.
The roots will float around, and the earth
being thrown in, they settle down we'll
spread out. Then. all that is necessary. If
lle weather be hot and dry, is to shade tor
Two or three days with paper Or leaves It
~'ln this way, and shaded, they should not
Oe watercd. More newly set plants are ru'
iled by too much water and shade than in
aay other way. The covering retains the
hlesture at surface and that Is all that is
Needed Ii watered when shaded. they

press should be unpacked at once. and

merely soaking the earth with water.

at the present day, the demand seems to be
Il better knowledge in the science of agri-
culture, tor we know that intelligent labor
is tho most successful labor; this is as true
upon the farm, as in the manufactures. And
ii seems that if intelligent labor should be
coupled with all the improvements made in
agriculture, and agricultural implements,
that the future of our farms will not look
dark. Yes we want something more than
mowers, and leapers and threshers, ,-some-
thing more than improved implements up
on the farm, ii needs brains to accompany
them. and then we will know how to render
every blow that we strike more effective

PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURE.

" Fifty year ago it was truly said that man.
ufacturies. commerce and education. were
receiving the aid Of the government, While
the parent Of all, agriculture, seems to have
been Wholly neglected and deserted.
But it should be remembered that at that
time these material interests were in COM
parative infancy. and needed all the aid they
received. from the government or otherwise.
Aud they have cont inued to receive boun-
ties and protection, until education is almost
face and universal, and ourmanufactures
have become firmly established and advanc-
ed almost beyond the necessity OF further
aid, and our commerce now reaches every
people and country on the globe.
OF agricultere it was then said, that the
high price of labor was out of proportion to
the price Of crops &C., raised by the farmers,
so that the expenses would take all the prot
it's, and they saw no hopes for the agricul-
ttlrist. However they urged upon the peo-
pie as a partial remedy to actively engage
in inventing, and improving all the inlple-
ments of hlsbandry possible, to save labor
upon the farm. And this was sound advice
as has since been proved, for it sounded the
key-note Of the onward march which has led
American Agriculture to its present high
standard For We see that the improvement
in agricultural machines and implements
has increased the powers of production to an
| extent almost iucalculable.
II has saved labor, and at the same time
become the equivalent of an enormous i'll
crease of hands, and all crops grown upon
the farm. And it has bettred the condition
of the farmer in many ways, besides adding
largely to the public wealth.
/ Now if we take a retrospective view of the
progress of the last fifty years, we may con-
gratulatc ourselves upon the great advance
that has been made.
Look at the improvements in plows, il
tllreshing machines, in harrows, in hay ant
grain cutters, in fertilizers, in husking anl
shellng, churning, and in sewing machines
in planning. saving. boring, morticing &c.
the better horses, cattle, sheep swine, poul
try; and all kinds of grain fruit &c., RAISED
upon the farm.
Therefore, il we would succeed in farmin:

THE EDUCATION OF THE FARMER.

Aristocracy has alway opposed the educa-
ton of labor. This opposition may vary in
form, but its aim is always the same. Each
of the three great arslocracies has its own
pet dogma on the subject.
The aristocracy of Caste asserts that the
great mass OF mankind are born to serve,
and, since the less intelligent the servant
the more docjle the service, it declares that
education units the children Of toll for their
lot in life.
Tue aristocarcy of Capital asserts that in-
telligence increases the price Of labor, and
hence it opposes popular education as tax
on capital The more intelligent man is
the greater are his wants and the higher
must be his wages, in order to meet his in
creased necessities. Ignorant labor has few
wants to supply. and hence is content with
low wages.
The aristocracy OF Culture asserts that the
great mass of mankind are born dullards,
and all attempts to educate them are futile.
The few on whom God has bestowe1the gilt
of drains are commissioned to do the worlds
thinking. an they thus monopolize the right
of education. This is the doctrine of the
hero woyshiper, Carlisle, and it is asserted
more or less clearly by many devotees OF
culture, who have lost all sympathy tor the
people.
These three aristocracies unite i'll oppos-
ipr all efforts to uplitt the laborer by the
power of education. Schooling, they assert,
spoils children for labor; it makes them
discontentcd with their lot; fills them with
vain ambitions. makes them idle, etc., etc
These assertions are now more frequently
aimed at higher education, and especially at
the high schools; but they We're once urged
with us great earnestness against the eie
,nentary schools OF the people. Reading
ING writing have received manly blow a.
the dreaded enemy of capital and caste.
The present condition of the country gives
these dogmas fresh interest, ana the alr Il
filed with their assertion IN some form or
decree. The late rapid multiplication OF tn
industries of the country opened numerous
nositions demanding intelligence more thil
muscle. The opportunity thus oherea U
obtain higher wages, if not to flnd shof
road to competency, has resulted IN gro"
mo disinclination to obtain living by marc
work. The present check to the prosperlt
of the country makes tais condition OF al
fairs plainly evident, and arlstocracy IN
nroyes the opportunity to make another a'
sault upon popular education.
Many causes have contributed TO the pres
ont ,,isrespect for labor, and especially 10
