profit to the grower. The cost of planting
one acre of good corn ground, 80; harrow
ing, rs cents; 1000 good strawberry plants,
$50: planting them out with line three
and one-half feet one way and fifteen inches
the other, So; cultivating and hoeing them
during the summer, $12; mulching very
lightly in the winter on top of the snow
with murch, hay or straw, Sc, making a
total of S51. This covers all expense of
any note up to the picking season. An
average crop per acre of good variety of
strawberries should not be less than $50
bushels per acre, and with extra good soil,
with the best of cultivation and abundance
of water, the amount of bushels can be
increased to 500 per acre. On basis of
$50 bushels per acre, at the low price of ten
cents per quart, would give per acre $500.
The expense of picking, boxes, etc., $40,
being net profit of $3.50 per acre. The
greatest care should be observed in getting
new and pure varieties of plants. Never
take plants from old beds. Purchase from
reliable growers; avoid new varieties with
fancy prices, by combining yourself to those
that you know to be reliable. Rows and
hills both have their advocates and both are
good. My best success has been with rows,
as follows: Select piece of rich ground as
near level as possible, surrounded as much
as possible with higher grounds, for two
reasons. 1t will get the water of
the higher ground, and will catch
the snow in the winter, which is the best of
all mulching. Plow as deep as you can;
harrow level and fine; plant out with line;
have the rows straight; have the plants tied
in punches of fifty taken up with the full
length of the roots when ready to plant;
dip the roots in water; distribute them
along the rows prepared and plant as
quickly as possible, putting the roots down
full length. If you have plenty of ground
make the rows three and a-half feet apart
and the plants fifteen or twenty inches
apart in the rows, but they can be planted
closer each way.

Enuland and Germany.

BERLIN, March 1.-THE result of Count
Herbert Bsmarck's special mission to Eng
land, relative to German interests in West
Africa, is reported as follows: England
comedies to Germany the whole OF the
Cameroons country, with the exception OF
the mission town of Victoria, where the
Germans are alleged to have hauled down
the British flag. The Counts mission has
been successful beyond the widest expec-
tations, and diplomatic circles are all agog
at the brilliant manner in which the young
diplomat has carried out the instructions
given him, and the successful and highly
favorable conclusions arrived at. England
further agrees not to interfere with any
action Germany may take in the
entire country from the south bank of the
Rio Del Rey, small river emptying into
the Blight of Biafra, some distance north of
Cameroons to Gaboon, which enters the
sea near the equator. Germany, on the
other hand, recognizes the supremacy OF
England over the country lying between
the north bank of Rio Del Rey and Lagos.
This covers the basin of the Lower Niger.

Eiuhtina at Suakim.

SUAKIM, March l2-The firing upon the
works by the rebels has lasted continuous
ly for twenty -four hours. and this evening
is quite heavy. The Sikh regiments and
the East Surveys return the fire briskly at
intervals. Several of the garrison have
been killed. At midnight the bugles were
sounding general alarm. When the at
tack was made upon the ordnance in
closure Of the garrison by Ell Mahdi's
men last night the rebels, in answering to
the challenge of the picket, replied
Friends" They then swarmed into the
zereba, overpowered the pickets and at
tackled the guards, but hearing men landing
from the gun boat Condor, they decamped,
carrying off with them all their
dead and wounded except the body
of their leader, Abdul, who was
Osman Digma's standard bearer. Six
British guards were killed and seven were
wounded. Inrepelling the rebel attack the
outposts fought herocially. Hand to hand
encounters were frequent. In one instance
five English soldiers bayonetted fifteen
rebels. When disabled by wounds in the
legs they fought in kneeling posture, firing
as long as any strength remained.

A Crank of the Guiteau Type.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The police have
Just arrested man. who has been since
recognized as the Rev. Elias Bray, at one
time an inmate of the Flatbush Lunatic
Asylum, for wandering about the streets
and protesting unalterable hostility to the
present head of the Government. The man
was first arrested on Monday and sent to
the Bellevue Hospital as lunatic. He was
released, however, next day but only to be
arrested again in Brooklyn. He is known
to be an ex-clergyman and bricklayer,
who has for years claimed it as his mission
on earth to make away with the mighty
ones and destroy those in high places. He
saws that he was counseled to begin with
President Cleveland, and went to Wash
ington last week and demanded an audi
ence with him. Colonel Lamont, how
ever, supposed the man to be on business
connected with the State Department and
referred him to Secretary Bayard. The Sec
rotary soon learned the object of his mis-.
sion, and had the Rev. Mr.. Bray put out Of
the building. He reached New York on
Sunday. The man is now in the Flatbush
Lunatic Asylum, in which institution he
was incarcerated in 1891, at the solicitation
of his wife, and from which he escaped dur
ing fire in the building the same year. He
has not since been heard from. AS the Rev.
Mr.. Bray is an alien, he will be sent to his
home in England.

The Oklahoma Question,

WASHINGTON, March 13.-In answer to
telegram from the Secretary of War rela.
tive to the exact condition of affairs In
Oklahoma, General Hatch to-day tele-
graphed from Caldwell, Kas., that no tres
passers were now in Indian Territory.
About twelve hundred settlers, he said,
were camped: in Kansas near the
Territory border They were threat
ening to 60 over the line,
but as yet had taken no steps of that
kind. Troops are stationed in the Terri
tory, the General said, and will drive out
any, invaders that may attempt to settle on
the lands. At meeting of the Cabinet
yesterday, the Oklahoma question was
considered at length. II was said the i'm
preston prevailed among those who con-
templated invasion of the Territory, that
President Arthur's proclamation relative
to tresspassing upon Indian lands had be-
come imperative at the close of his Admin
istration. To prevent such action of in
vaders as would naturally ensue npon pre-
valence of such an impression, it was
thought best that President Cleveland
shonld issue proclamation similar to that
issued while Mr.. Arthur was Chief Execu-
tive. This proclamation is now prepared
and will shortly be issued. 1t will forbid
invasion Of trespassers upon Indian lands
in Indian Territory.

His Last Glass Of Beer.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 13.-To- might at
ten O'Clock, August Bucholtz, while drink
ing glass of beer in a saloon, burst an
artery of his leg, which produced death
within five minutes. 1t seems Bucholtz had
recently received gun-shot wound in his
leg and had bandaged it with his handker-
chief. When and under what circum-
stances the wound was received is not
known, but the police officials are OF
the opinion that he was a member of the
gang of burglars who have so
recently been committing depredations
here, and it was only the other night that
a well Unknown citizen emptled the contents
of a double barreled shotgun at two thieves
who were endeavoring to effect an entrance
into his residence. When the blood-vessel
burst Bucholtz sank to the floor and ex--
claimed: "Well, that's the last glass of
beer III ever drink" His words proved
prophetic, as he was dead three minutes
afterward. ...

LONDON, March 15.-The English have an
abiding faith in diplomacy, and are not as
apprehensive of war with Russia as other
people are. The Russian complication
without doubt fastened the smoothing over
of the German misunderstanding,
England foreseeing that friendship with
Germany would have its effect upon Rus

however, both Powers continue their prep

Osman Digna will be necessary to get

land the Mahdi at STEAMBOAT, and his proc
lamation as the Modern Mohammed.

of Kassala, and the massacre of the gar
rison. The Government refuses to credit
it. The acknowledgment that the French

thousand created sensation in Paris, and
Il is believed the losses have been twice the
admitted number. De Lesseps thinks that
unless England withdraws from Egypt she
will have war with France.
