VIII you inform me through THE TRIBUNE how
to raise poted straw berry plants for fall planting,
ana oblige, yours. &e.-Joel Wright, What Cheer,
Iowa.
Ans. As the runners begin to form, and just
before they make roots, small pots filed with
earth are inserted by scoping out receptacle
for them under the plants, which are then laid
on the soil in the pots, and held down by
clod or pebble to keep the plant in place until
il takes root, which it viii soon do. When the
pots are filled with roots the plants may be
removed, turned out Of the pots, and planted
Tor fruiting. The advantage is that the plants
may be set out as early as August. which ena-
bles them TO form good stools before winter
and produce crop the following season. We
have seen crops at the rate of $50 bushels to an
acre produced IN this way. The labor involved
Is comparatively slight when compared with the
certainty OF establishing plantation-at least
10 those who are expert in these manipula-
tions. OF late years quite a large trade has
sprung up in the preparation and sale of
potted strawberry plants and many hundreds
OF thousands are yearly disposed OF. 1t is well
to keep IL view that when a plant is turned
out of a pot with q ball of roots and set ont in
loose ground the earth must be firmy packed
around It, Many failures occur from neglect of
this precaution.
What IS this new plan of growing strawberries
in barrels. said TO be invented by some one in
California ?-Junior.
A1s. The method consists in boring inch and
a hall or two inch holes all over the barrel
about eight or ten inches apart, and as it is
being filed with earth young strawberry plants
are inserted into these holes the roots nicely
spread and covered with SOIL and the top Of
the plant garnishing the outside Of the barrel
il is quite an old plan Of growing things. espe-
cially for keeping green parsley during winter,
and has often been figured in rural publications.

Ex-President Woolsey of Yale college has
given expression to the motives which in
duce him to support Mr.. Blaine, although
he was not his choice for the nomination.
Briefly stated. his reason is that he thinks it
wiser for Republicans who have not full
confidence in Mr.. Baine's prudence to
stand by the nomination and retain posi-
ton in the party, where they may have some
restraining influence in prevention of rash
policies. than to help place in power party
entitled to less confidence, or contribute to a
permanent division of the Republican party,
which would in the end destroy it. In his
own words his reason reduces itself to a
choice of the least of two evils" DR.. Wool
sey has lived under Democratic administra-
tons and is subject to no decisions regard
