The straw berry is the most delicious and
should be the most widely cultivated OF
small fruits 1t is not only desirable in every
garden, but can be probably raised for mar
ket in the vicinity of every village or city. Ii
flourishes naturally on sandy loan, but
any soil may be made suitable for it. The
soil, whatever it is, should be deeply trench
ed and MANFRED literally. The roots oil the
straw berry are fine and the soil should be
thoroughly pulverized apd the manure mixed
with it.
We prefer spring planting but sometimes
fall planting is more convenient. We have
adopted the following method of planting ON
account OF its simplicity and rapidity. LIST,
pillow and drag the ground we'll where the
bed is TO be, then furrow out shall
low trenches with a double shovel-plow
about feet apart; this being done set the
plants about one foot apart in the trenches;
being careful not to set the crown OF the plant
below the surface OF the earth. A little wa
ter should be put into the hole with each
plant when set. A cloudy day is best Tor
planting.
The systems of cultivation and renewal
are various. The first is the shIftless system
| by which the plants are set ont and allowed
to grow until the ground is covered with
vines, weeds, and grass, with no fruit. The
Alternate Strip System is on some accounts
| the very best Strike out rows three feet
apart and set the plants about foot apart in
| tie row. Let all the runners on one side OF
| the rows grow and take root, while all on the
other side are cut off. Thus every alternate
| strip OF three feet viii be covered with vines
| which will bear crop of berries, while the
/ bare strip will serve as an alley for the pick
| ers. After the crop Is over dig up tins alley
| way and the next season allow the runners
/ to cover and take root in it. After this sea
sons crop is gathered, dig in the old plants
and so on digging up one side each year. Al
the time "a setting the plants, and at each
annual digging, liberal coating Of manure
| should be dug in.
The Biennial System has of late years beer
! popular, and consists II planting in beds
| three rows, eighteen inches apart each way
| and paths two feet wide Hoe the plants
| weed faithfully, LET the runners grow, anc
after the beds have produced two crops, dig
or pillow it up and plant in a new place.
| The Annual System is the same, excep
that the plants are put little nearer togeth
er, cultivated the first year, bear the second
and are then plowed or dug under.
In this latitude winter protection is bene
fetal. Straw, leaves or hay TO the depth 0
two inches is sufficient. A portion OF tbs
mulch may he left on in the spring, which
will shade the roots, retain the moisture, sns
keep the fruit clean. The variety best adapt
ed to this section OF country tor general cul
tivation is the Wilson's Albany strawberry
although other kinds are being experiments,
with and it is to lie hoped some other Of then

FACTS AND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE
FOURTH.
SELECTED BY j. W. PERRY.


Nearly one century ago two distin-
guished Americans were walking to-
gether in the metropolis of Great Brit
ain. One of these personages was the
"first Adams" the other Benjamin
West, the great painter. The world
renowned artist inquired of his COM
panlon, the able diplomatist, if he
would like to see the cause of the
American Revolution. Mr.. Adams ex-
pressed the pleasure the sight of such
an object would afford him. Our IL
lustrious travellers directed their
course to Hyde Park, to spot near
the serpentine river, when Mr.. West
gave his friend the following nara
tive:
"The King''-George III-"came to
the throne young man, surrounded
by flattering courtiers, one of whose
frequent topics was to declaim against
the meanness of his palace, which
was wholly unworthy of such a coun-
try as England. They said there was
not sovereign of Europe who was
lodged so poorly-that his sorry, din
gy old palace of st. James looked like
a stable, and that he ought to build a
palace suitable to his kingdom. The
King was fond of rchitecture-would
therefore, listen to suggestions which
were in fact all true. This spot you
see here was selected for the site, be-
tween this and this point which was
marked out.
The King applied to his ministers on
the subject; they inquired what sum
| would be required by his Majesty, who
said that he would begin with mil
lion. They stated the expenses of the
war and the poverty of the treasury,
but his Majesty's wishes should be
taken into consideration.
Some time afterward the King was
informed that the wants of the treas
ury were too urgent to admit of sup.
ply from their present means, but
| that revenue might be raised in
America to supply all the Kings wish.

This suggestion was followed up and
the King was in this way first led To

scheme of taxing the colonies. ssBe.

solitary incident. A complication OF
causes, an aggregate of circumstances
eventuated in this grand and stipend

of these United States none of Great

THE Milwaukee Sentinel, an alleged
Republican organ though one of the
most savage newspapers of the genus
guerilla, abuses without stint those
prominent Republicans who chance
to differ with its majestic opinion, and
so proverbial for this characteristic
has it become that its power to do
either harm or good is comparatively
limited. The Milwaukee Telegraph,
in commenting upon the course of the
Sentinel, makes the following ohser-
vation: sit is quite likely the SEN
..uel cannot do the Republican party
enough damage next fall to defeat the
State ticket. 1t has already threaten
ed to do it's best in that direction, how
ever, in certain contingencies. But
the Democrats and Greenbackers will
be so divided that the Sentinel will be
powerless to injure to any great extent
Republican prospects, whatever course
it may pursue"

THERE are so many Republicans in
Milwaukee who desire place on the

Ludington has found it impossible to
secure solid Ludington delegation
which he claimed he would have and
upon which it was his purpose to base
his claim for a nomination. There is
no doubt that in u large majority of
instances the rural districts are partial

turns are all in there will be no dis
cernable occasion either for fight or
