Strawberries on the Farm.

The catalogues are confusing with
their many varieties, old and new. For
home use, no new or untried kinds are
worth taking as gift; what we want
is fruit and plenty of it. Charles
Downing, Bidwell, and Sharpless are
among the reliable kinds that have
been tested and may be planted with
confidence. Having ordered the plants,
prepare a place for them. The size of
the bed will of course depend upon the
number of plants, which are to be two
feet apart each way from one another,
and two feet from the margins of the
bed. Make the soil rich with old, de-
composed manure and ashes. to be
worked in as deep as possible by spad>
ing. When the plants come, their
roots should be shortened or cut back
to two.thirds or one>half their former
length, and all the dead leaves remov-
ed. In planting, open a wide hole
with the hand, and spreading the roots
in all directions, separating those that
are matted, carefully work the earth
in among them, and having covered
them with earth press it firmly over
them. The plants will soon start into
growth, and new leaves open. 1t is
probable that clusters of flower buds
will appear in the center of some Of
the plants; if so pinch them off as
soon as they are seen, as we now wish
to raise plants and not fruit. As the
season advances, runners will be form
ed, and at length bud will appear
upon the end of each and finally take
root. If the runners do not become
fixed readily-as they are often blown
about by the windS-place a clod Of
earth upon them to hold them fast
After the plant from the first bud ha;
grown to some size, that will throw Out
runners, and so on, all the season. The
object being to raise as many plants al
possible, the runners should be watch
ed, and not allowed to interfere with
one another, but distributed evenly
over the bed. If necessary water the
bed, and pull up by hand all weed
that appear.-DR. THURBER, in Amer
lean Agriculturist for April.

swarming, and How to Manage It.

W. 2. Hutchinson in American Agricul.
turist.
In the writers apiary two large tin
pals filed with water are always kept
near the shop DIOR, with a fountain
pump hanging over them; and if a
swarm shows any disposition to leave,
or is slow in clustering when other
swarms are expected, it receives such
a sprinkling that it "soon hangs itself
up to dry" With such pump and
plenty of water it is next to impossible
for swarm to abscond. The implies
ment is also useful to prevent uniting
or clustering of swarms issuing at the
same time. Near the tin pals stand
two splint clothes baskets, lined with
cotton cloth, and each basket is fur
nished with a burlap cover stitched to
one side of it. AS soon as a swarm has
clustered it is shaken into one of these
baskets, the cover Topped over, and if
another swarm or something else de,
mands immediate attention the basket
and its contents can be set to one side,
to be disposed of at leisure.
After seeing the ease with which
bees can be managed when allowed to
swarm naturally, the energy with
which they work, and the excellent re.
suits obtained, the writer is decidedly
opposed to artificial swarming-and
also to queens with clipped wings. In
the first place, when the bees swarm,
the queen has to be found and Gagged.
The bees roam around long time, and
sometimes finally cluster. If another
swarm comes out they are certain to
unite with it. When the bees do re-
turn they often go piling into the
wrong hive, perhaps hives; and if they
do catch on to the proper one, instead
of going in they often cluster all over
its outside. Sometimes, after the queen
has been allowed to run in she comes
out again then Of course the bees will
follow her. In my experience the
swarm having an unclipped queen can
be hived and be at work in that
"whooping," tipping" go-ahead style,
in just about the same time that it
takes swarm with clipped queen to
make up its mind, sullenly and dog
gedly, to go back home.

Who does not want friends? Who

Who does not want friends? Who
does not need friends?
Preachers and lawyers, in their work
of life, will owe much of their success
or failure to the observance or neglect
of this important matter.
Young ladies, there is absolutely
nothing improper when you meet a
gentleman of your acquaintance in call
ing his name, if you intend to recog-
nize him at all call it distinctly. He
loves to hear it uttered by your voice.
1t will ring in his ears half day, and
sometimes all night.
Now a delicate matter, in which,
probably, this scribe is wrong. Still,
the venture is made. When called on
to pray in public, speak out. What is
the object of the public prayer? Man.
ifestly, that it be heard so that other
worshipers may follow in the devotion.
AS we'll have no leader as to have one
who speaks so as not to be heard. If
it is the fear of God that induces the
low tone it might be tolerated, but is it
that? Is it not the fear of men? Speak
outl .

The London Live Stock Journal
gives two methods of starting a balky
horse: "First, tire your steed out by
remaining perfectly quiet until he starts
of his own accord; second, when a
horse refuses to draw at all, put him
in a cart in a shed and keep him there
until he walks out. In one instance
the obstinate one was thirty.six hours
10 the shafts before he gave in" .

DO THE MEEK INHERIT THE
EARTH?

The eagle plucks the raven,
And the raven plucks the jay
To whose voracious craving
The cricket falls prey.
The big fish dimes at leisure
Upon the smallerfry,
And the minnow eats with pleasure
The poor, unconscious fly.
The miser skins his neighbor,
And the neighbor skins the poor,
And the poor man doomed to labor
Spurns the beggar from his door.
And thus the world is preying,
The strong upon the weak,
Despite the precious saying:
'The earth,is for the meek"

Speakout.
n. GREEN.

Law eISj pIedCueIs, bIuueuLS, lduleS
and gentlemen, one and all, speak out
Whoever you are, whatever you are,
still speak out
Too much stress cannot well be laid
upon the Importance of this iDjunc>
ton.
Your own success, your own charac>
ter, your good manners, all make it
necessary.
If you are on the rostrum or in the
pulpit and you speak, of course you
wish to be heard. If you are making
an announcement or beginning an ad-
dress, and you wish people to know
what you are saying, In the name of
common sense let me exhort you to say
it so that everybody in the house can
hear it. If you are too timid, or if
your voice is too feeble, then let some~
body else do the talking. You are not
the proper person under the circum-
stances.
Perhaps our friends, the preachers,
are at fault oftener in this regard than
other public men.
Announcements of subjects and texts
and the preliminary part Of serman
or an address are important to be heard
and understood by the audience in or.
der to the proper comprehension of the
discussion that is to follow. They are
the groundwork, the sub.sills of the
discourse.
1t should be remembered that in
every audience there are probably many
persons who, on account of age or in
trinity, do not hear very acutely. Be-
sides, in the beginning Of the discourse
there is often some noise and confusion,
owing to the entrance of persons who
are belated.
Further, if the first utterances of the
speaker are distinct and clear he will
generally catch the attention of all his
hearers, and if what is to follow is
worth hearing he will hold his audience
to the end. So that if any difference
is to be made at all it would be better
to speak more distinctly at the first
than at the last.
Who is there now reading this that
has not been worried and annoyed by
the faint, indistinct, mumbling meth
DDS of some public speakers when they
begin?
If you should be asked a question
by your teacher, whether you know
the answer or do not know it, whether
you gain point or make fat, speal
it out. Let there be no doubt abou
what you have said.
If you meet person on the stree
and intend to salute him at all, do no
leave him in doubt as to whether you
have performed that courtesy or not
Many young men, and ladies, too, ar
at fault here. Much of this is, N
doubt due to timidity, some of it t
ignorance, and some of it to very ba,
manners.
When you salute one you need no
roar, you need not make over.mucI
demonstration, but call his name, ca
it distinctly, call it cheerily, call
kindly. Some difference in name
would, of course, be proper in salutin
an old man and saluting an equal i
years, and some difference in name
would be expected in saluting lad
and in speaking to gentleman. TIL
distinction would naturally occur
to every we'll bred person. But in a
cases it is good manners and good sens
to speak out.
How annoying.it is to meet any a
quaintance, and, when you speak
him, have him in return grunt like
hog or humble like an idiot? Y,
there are not a few persons who al
guilty of this very thing.

Organizing a Tax Payers Association

Organizing a Tax Payers Association
In response to circular issued few days

of our prominent citizens at Sherman hall Of
which John s. Prince, Esq, was chosen

which was to organize or consider the desira-
bilty of organizing some such taxpayers

dred," Of Philadelphia, or the ''citizens'
union,'' of Chicago He showed the good
accomplished in those cities by such an Or
gauization.
Mr.. Cochran spoke in favor of the move
meut and quoted the phenomenal and I'M
precedented success of the Business Union
of this city.
Mr.. Geo. Benz stated that the Business
Union was still in existence, and he thought
it might be called together again.
Mr.. W. F. Mason spoke at some length
upon the importance of some of the objects
of The organization, especially that of watch

Com. Davidson in speaking of the atten-

there would have been larger meeting.
Several gentlemen spoke upon different
subjects, such as taxation, city improve
ments, legislation, police and education, and

salary sufficient to secure a frst-class man.
The following committee was appointed to
