Points in Strawberry Culture.

Points in Strawberry Culture.
 A number of prominent horticulturists testified at the late meeting of the Amer ican Horticultural Society that straw berries will thrive where the thermome- ter falls as low as 45 degrees below zero. The plants, it was reported, rarely freeze during these severe winters, even when there is not much snow on the ground j; but it is the safer plan to cover well with hay, straw, etc.
 Mir. J. M. Smith, Green Bay, Wis, who has had long experience, read a paper on protection against drought, in which he set forth his own practice, which has stood severe tests. His gar den contains forty acres, sloping south ward, and is divided into beds 3 1-2 rods wide. Between the beds are alleys little lower than the surface, and un- der these alleys are drains of tile to carry off the surplus water. His theory is that underdrained soil is better both in floods and in droughts.
 Another preventive of loss by drouth practised by MT. Smith is deep plough ing, and third is wood ashes applied as fertilizer. In drought he keeps the surface thoroughly worked, from one to four inches. This mulches the soil be- low and light rains sink into the soil in- stead of evaporatlng as they do when a crust is formed upon the surface.
 A strawberry bed of several acres for six years he has dressed with from thirty to forty loads of manure annually. Af- ter the winter covering is taken off he spreads on leached ashes and hoes the ground twice before picking. His strawberries, under this treatment, resist long droughts and yield him over $500 per acre, when otl1ers in that section do not get half crop.
 c. A. Green thought too much credit is given to ashes. Their application on some soils is doubtless benefit, but other soils gained nothing by the appli- cation, not requiring potash. ,s'
 Prof. Ciaypolc, of tho Ohio Univer. sity, explained why ashes prove an cx cellent application during or proceeding drought. The explanation was thai water has strong affinity for carbonate of potash, so strong that it is almost i'm possible to keep this substance dry ever w2.cn kept in corked bottle.

Whenever one is made The donee of such
small but very necessary articles as soap,
brushes and other things of that kind, q
bit of suspicion always springs into the
mind that the donor covers and conveys
with it an intimation that the use of the gift
would be beneficial. This was exactly our
case when on day of the current week,
we became the repioient of little package
marked Eau Dentirice Du Docteur d.
Pierre, with compliments of DR.. Theo.
Webre. At first, search was made for the
double barreled gun, kept loaded with min
ion slugs for cases of emergency, but, sud
denly remembering DR.. Webre's size, we
concluded that it was best to treat the mat
ter in another way. Getting out tooth
brush, a trial was made of the wash on the
teeth of the Office devil, and the typos were
surprised at the marked improvement
brought about in his appearance. Finding
out its value, we kept the sample instead of
returning it with expressions of contempt,
and recommend that our friends go and
procure each a bottle from DR.. Webre,
who is the only agent for Louisiana.

Henry Collins, negro who ten years
ago killed man on the place of Messrs.
Mccall Bros. and two years ago another
on the Crescent plantation in this parish,
was recently arrested in New Orleans.
Since his last murder, which was of a man
named Scott, he, together with an accom-
plice, has been fugitive from justice.
Some time ago our efficient Deputy
Sheriff, David Israel, who had been track
ing the criminal, caught up with him in
Vicksburg and traced him from there
to the city, where, through the aid of the
detective police force, he was arrested.
Deputy Joseph Duffel, having been sent
down after the prisoner, brought him up
and lodged him in our parish jail, from
which he will not be apt to escape before
the next criminal torn of the District
Court in May. To Mr.. Israel is due great
praise for the way in which he managed
this matter and for the incessant attention
he has devoted to tracing the murderer.
