How to Plant Strawberries.

President Merwin, at the recent
horticultural meeting at Bells De-
pot, gave the following as the proper
method of planting Strawberries: Sc
lect good land, fresh if practicable.
Break deep, plow and harrow until
the soil is well pulverized. Sow on
an acre of ground, of bone meal, 1000
pounds; of wood ashes, 100 bushels;
of salt, one barrel. Plant in rows
three feet apart and eighteen inches
in the row on nearly level ground.
Plant only the finer varieties, as the
Longfellow, Sharpless, Cumberland,
Triumph or Warren. Cultivate well.
The cost will be about as follows:

Home, sweet home; there is no place like

Whereas, great calamity has re-
Gently befallen our town in the de-
struction by fire of the splendid resi-,
dence of e. A. Collins, ESQ.,, one of
our most progressive and large-heart>
ed citizens, and an esteemed member
of the order of Knights of Pythias,
inficting upon our brother and his
family loss the value of which can
not he measured by dollars and cents;
And, whereas, we regard this as
great loss to our town, and community,
as the edi6ce and its surroundings
were of such architectural design and
finish that made it not only an orna-
ment to Milan and vicinity, but would
have done credit to any Of our large
cities. A home is considered the
dearest spot on earth, and this one
was erected at the expense Of much
thought and labor, and the outlay Of
many dollars; therefore,
Be it resolved, that the members
of Prospero Lodge, No. 24,ssK. of P,
of Milan, extend to our brother their
deepest sympathy for himself and
family for their great loss.
Resolved, that these proceedings he
spread upon the records of our lodge,
and the same he published in the
Milan Exchange, and copy be fur

posed by q New York Judge d few days

thht work. He was bound 10 protect
not only tho property and tho lives OF

violation OF his' duty that ho a..
saulted this unprotected woman. That
he was undbr tho Influence OF liquof
whom he committed this orime 10 no or
cuse or palIiation for II, especially In o
member OF tho pollco forco. hrI
