HOUSE AND FARM.
About strawberries.

At this season of the year horticultural
papers are every day asked questions as
to what varieties of strawberries to plant.
Many of them venture specific answeres
But when it is considered that the same
variety varies from firstrate to next to
worthless in different soils and conditions,
it will appear that there is but one ans
wer, viz: Plant those varieties which
from trial are found to succeed best
Each must experiment for himself Such
experiments may be made with so little
trouble or expense that it is the fault of
the cultivator and not of the strawberry
if everybody does not raise upon his own
grounds those sorts that will thrive best
Now for one dollar plants of all the best
varieties may be purchased. Planted in
good soil this spring and labeled, their
value and adaptability TO a particular
place may be ascertained next spring.
After that. there need no longer be any
doubt or disappointment. Selecting those
which prove in size, flavor, vigor, produc-
tiveness, the most desirable, every family,
with no more trouble than is required to
keep down weeds, and form new beds
as the old ones wear out, may be supplied
with this enjoyable fruit, as far superior
to the great bulk of market strawberries
as banana or orange plucked ripe
from the plant is superior to those
that, plucked green, are left to
ripen and decay simultaneously,
several weeks afterwards.
The qualities of new varieties OF straw
berries are nowadays SO pulled up, that
those who purchase new plants entertain
a vague expectation that the berries will
prove sweeter, larger-the vines more
fruitful and hardy than any others here
tofore known. But experience with the
strawberry, as with every other fruit, will
demonstrate that mans power of really
improving it is very limited, and that he
never will be able to combine the best
qualities of all in any one variety.
Most of US are very ready to be capti-
waited by size, though size and the charac-
teristic qualities which make fruit val
liable are generally inimical. We some
times see strawberries nine and ten inches
in circumference. They are curious and
pretty. They are nice to pick. They are
charming table ornaments. One of them
is as large as dozen wild strawberries.
But, just for eating, which had you

The most remarkable spectacle ever
presented in any legislative body, was
that which occurred Tuesday evening
last in the Ohio House of Representatiyes.
upon the reception of the report of the
Committee on the O'Conuor investigation
case. Mr.. Reed, of Ross county, offered
a preamble and resolution reciting the
charges against Mr.. O'Connor, which in
brief substantiated the charge that that
distinguished representative from Mont
gomery county, was an ex-PenitentiarY
convict, who had served a sentence of
three years in the Michigan Penitentiary
Tor larceny, and resolving that his seat
as a member of the House, be declared
vacant. These charges had been brought
against O'COnnor earlier in the session,
but no action was taken on them, Mr..
O'Connor undertook his own defense, but
his fellow Legislators had got what use
they wanted out of him, and few, if auv
sought to uphold the falling man, but
rather pushed him back into ignominious
SSoIttEElon, when he had ceased to be of
IuI .,S IIer use to them. The O'Connor case

Individually, O'Connor is not entitled
to much pity, for when he knew that hi

The LegIsIature.

The Cincinnati Commercial speaks of
the doings of the Legislature of this State
which adjourned last week, thus truth
fully; "Its main work has been the re-
organization of the public institutions on
the wholesale grocery plan. The Ohio
Penitentiary, the Reform School for Boys.
the State Insane Asylum, Longview Asy-
lum, the Board of Aldermen of Cincin-
natl, the Girls Industrial Home, the In
stitution for the Blind, Institutions for
the Education of Deaf Mutes, the Sol

mia, the Board of Public Works and the
State institutions for Idiots, now all buy
their groceries in the right place. Every
truly patriotic citizen of Ohio will be
glad that at last these things are thus.
The State of Ohio has also been reorgan-
lied on the same plan. For the rest, the
Democracy expects every man to buy bis
groceries in the right place this fall"

BROTHER KERR, of the Register is giving
himself a greatdeal of unnecessary un-
easiness as to whether the Ohio Republi-
can State Convention, which is to meet
at Cincinnati on the 18th of June, will
or will not, by resolution, endorse Presi-
dent Hayes administration of the Gov
ernment. OF course the disturbed con-
dition of brother Kerr's mind on this
point originates from pure motives; there
is nothing naughty in his pure mind; he
has a fellow feeling for the Republican
party, and would be terribly grieved tc
see them adopt policy that would send
them to the bow-wows. But, candidly,
dear brother, hadn't you better let other
peoples business alone and attend to Won,
own political funeralsP
