FERTrIIzER FOR STRAWBERRIES. The
best artificial fertilizer for strawberries is
Peruvian guano, sown broadcast over the
beds, and the intervals between them, ear
ly in Spring, at the rate of 200 or 300
pounds per acre. If the guano cannot be
procured, good substitute can be made OF
100 pounds Of super-phosphate OF lime,
$50 pounds of slaughter-house waste, or
blood manure, and as many wood ashes as
can be procured. These fertilizers should
be applied during shower, so that they
would be washed off from the leaves, other
wise the leaves would be injured.

CuRRASr CUTTINGS. fall is the best
time to make and plant cuttings of currants
and other shrubs. The Callus is formed at
the end of the cuttings, and the roots start
during the winter. The next best time is
early in the spring as soon as the frost is
out of the ground. The cuttings may be
made this month. and il the ground is still
frozen they may be kept in cellar until
the ground Is ready.

mouth, Me-, whose long experience gives
force to his opinion, says that water-log-
ging of apples rarely occurs with late win
ter sorts, but chiefly among earlier varie-
ties, like the Porter, ETC., and in dry,
warm autumns. He adduces the useful
fact that early gathering is preventive.
As this also favors long keeplng-if the
fruit is cautiously transferred to cool quar-
ters-there is here double inducement to
avoid exposing the fruit upon the tree long
after it has attained its full growth.

Of the canvass please, please do not let
Mckinney get hold Of Paul again. It
was cruel, cruel-the manner In which

While listening to NICK inney's speech
I was reminded Of the anecdote of John
Randolph of Roanoke, who one day, In
speaking against some one on the stump,
had gotten him most completely down,
and he turned to the audience and asked,
Must I kill him, or has he had
enough?" and they answered, "Do not
