setting Strawberry Plants.

Thebest time for this work, as every
one is aware, is in spring, just as the
youngplants are beginning theirgrowth.
Next to this in the season is immedi-
ately after fruiting, while the plants
are in a partly dormant state, and be-
fore they fully recover from the ex-
haustion OF bearing: but more care is
then required. Most OF the old leaves
should be removed, the fine mellow
earth pressed on the spread roots, and
If the soil is dry they should be well
watered, and a mulching OF manure
given an inch or two i'll thickness.
This mulching will prevent the ground
from crusting or baking, if a second
watering becomes necessary. Setting
ported plants late IN the summer sue
ceeds we'll, but the operation, first and
last, is attended with considerable
labor, and it is only adapted to limit
ed garden beds. An easier, and quite
as successful q mode, where heplants
to be set out are near at hand
or in the same garden, is to take
up blocks OF earth with the plants by
using spade, and to set them with
their mass OF earth into openings pre-
viously cut with the spade where they
are to remain. Wehavenow TUNE 2Ol
a long bed OF the Cumberland and an
other OF the James Wick, both in full
and abundant bearing, set in this way
during the latter part OF last August.
The plants were scarcely checked in
growth by removal. With dry, light
soil the work would be difficult, as it
would readily crumblc from the roots,
unless the plants were carried one at Il
time Oh the spade; but with a strong
loan sufficiently moist, two or three
dozen may be taken up in compact
blocks, and carried on {. wheelbarrow
to the place for planting. 1t is hardly
necessary to remark that last-autumn
rooted runners must be selected if the
work is done now, but later in the sea-

Good News About Colin an,

From the st. Louis Republican.
There is one thing to be said about
Commissioner Colman of the agricul-
tural bureau; he is a positive and de-
ternined enemy of oleomargarine He
regards the dairy interests OF the west
as one OF the most important branch
es OF our agriculture, and his active ef-
forts in securing the establishment OF
crcamcrics in Missouri are generally
recognized. The manufacture OF oleo-
margarine, Il counterfeit, out of boiled
suct and milk, at one time seriously
hreathened the dairy interest by sub
article in it's place. But the severe
Missouri law against the counterfeit
has nearly expelled it from this state,
and now Commissioner Colman pro-
poses to ask Congress to adopt Il SINH
lar prohibition for the whole country.

A Singular Experience.
From the Gorham N. H.) Mountaineor.

Miss hattie Edmonds, of Dalton, has
passed through u singular experience.
Over q year ago she had several teeth
extracted by dentist while under the
influence of chloroform, and immedi-
ately afterward she was seized with a
bad cough and gradually wasted and
took her bed, as it was supposed in con-
sumption. Several physicians exam
ined her case, one of whom attributed
her illness to an ulcer in the throat, aud
gave her q remedy. The medicine re-
suited in a severe paroxysm of cough,
ing, during which she threw out o tooth
that had been lodged in her throat
while she was chloroformed, and had
remained, nearly costing her her life.
She is now rapidly recovering. We
think that, while saying her evening
prayers, she ought to say the words Of
the little girl who, after having tooth
extracted, used the expression: "For.
give Us our debts Us we forgive our den
lists. "

FiuaI Operations for the Removal of Flood
Rock.

Flood Rock, a ledge of gneiss stu
ated one-quarter of mile from HalIet's
Point, Astoria, l.. l., is one Of the most
formidable of the many distractions by
which allthe commerce passing through
He'll Gate has been menaced. This
rock forms very irregular obtuse cone,
only a small portion of the apex of
which comes above water This for
nation and its location in the bend of
the river almost in the center of a swift
current at each change of the tide make
it an object of great dread to pilots.
The work of removing this rock was
begun in 1875, and after unnecessary
and costly delays caused by the failure
of Congress to appropriate sufficient
money from year to year the entire ex-
cavation has been completed, all the
drill holes have been bored, and all
that remains to be done is the charging
of the holes with explosives, removing
the plant, and dredging the broken rock
after the firing. The total cost of the
improvement will be about ST 900, 900.
The method pursued may be briefly
described, the familiarity of our readers
with the undertaking rendering a de-
tailed account uncalled for. A shaft
was sunk at the highest point of the
rock to a depth of 60 feet below water
level, and from this shaft galleries were
extended parallel with and at right an
giles to the current. These galleries are

Eating Lemons.

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the hcathfulness of lemons.
The latest advice is how to use them so
that they will do the most good, as fol-
lows: Most people know tho benefit of
lemonade before breakfast, but few know
that it is more that doubled by taking
another at night also. The way to get
the better of the bilious system without
blue pills or quinine is to take the juice
of one, two, or three lemons, as appetite
Graves, III as much ice water as makes it
pleasant to drink without sugar before
going to bed. In the morning, on rising,
at least a half hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in goblet of
water. This will clear the system of
humor and bile with efficiency, without
any of the weakening effects of calomel
or Congress water. People should not
irritate the stomach by eating lemons
clear; the powerful acid of the Juice,
bly, produces inflammation after while,
but properly diluted, so that it does not
burn or draw the throat, it does its med
ical work without HARM and, when the
stomach is clear of food, has abundant
opportunity to work Over the system
thoroughly, says medical authority.

only is this SO, but it is, further, con-

The eggs of this animal are also in
as high repute as its meat, although
both are said to disagree with some
persons. The iguanas are vegetarians,
their food consisting, as far as is
known, of fruit and other vegetable
substances.
There can be little doubt that the
white population of tropical America
learned to eat the flesh Of the iguana
from the ancient Indians. In Mr..
Bryan Edwards "History of the West
Indies" published some hundred years
ago, he says 81 believe it seldom
happens that they (the iguana) were
served at any English table, but their
French and Spanish neighbors still de-
YOUR them with exquisite RELISH"
Mr.. Edwards also says that he has
been assured by a lady ofgyeaf beauty
and elegance, who spoke from expert
ence, that the iguana is equal in flavor
and wholesomeness to the finest green
turtle"
The old time priests evidently en-
joyed the flesh of this lizard as well as
the sport of its capture, if we may
judge from the following extract from

to which the iguaua was wonderfully
attentive, stretching out his head and
turning his neck, as if to enjoy it more
fully. The negro now approached,
still whistling, and, advancing his rod
gently, began tickling with the end of
it the sides and throat of the iguana,
who seemed nightly pleased with the
operation, for he turned on his back
