Strawberries.

The adage, that there is time and
season for all things, is probably all
| right enough, and it would seem to
me that the time and season to report
upon strawberries, should be i,nmedi-
ately after the fruiting season. The
season was well enough in my case,
but the time was very insufficient A
market gardeners hours at that sea-
son Of the year, ere altogether too
long to devote much time in writing
up reports for publication. SO all l
was able to do at that time, was to
take few notes, as aids, in making up
the following:
The following seven varieties were
plants po,ted in August, and set in
good soil three weeks later, on about
the fifth of September, They were all
planted at about the same time, under
the same conditions, and received the
same culture during the remainder of
the season

as good crops raised here as in any

Hon. W ID. Freeman. one of the best
Informed men in the State. recently
told the Farmer. Congress that there
wee in Maine. ut this time. more IN
incumbered farms than in any other
State, and that one-haf Of the increase
in population between 1870 and 1880
were farmers. He spoke OF the superb

drovcs of cattle and sheep that are an
nuallv sent to the markets Of the large
amount Of butter and cheese Tat we
furnish for annual consumption of the
potato crop; of the growth Of the starch
industry. which increased from one
starch factory in the State in 1875 to
thlrty-,wo in 1850, in the county OF
Aroostook alone
Thus he went on to show that Name
could supply all her inhabitants with
agricultural products sufficient TO last
them the whole year; and also that
Aroostook alone if fully developed
could supply the whole State with all
she needs. He also dwelt at length
upon the great facilities that Maine
offers for manufacturing enterprises OF
every kind. offered by her abundant
water privileges.
From our own intimate knowledge
of all sections of the State, we can
fully endorse Mr.. Freemans words.
and the 10000 visitors that come
within our borders Annually during the
summer season, will testify that no
other Atlantic State possesses such
wonderful scenery of mountain, rugged
and picturesque coast combined. And
what is better, her water gates, at the
entrance of her bays. harbors and
rivers, are broad and deep and open

fed coast than any other Atlantic State
can present. With summer climate,
unsurpassed in its purity, malaria is
unknown and contagious and infec-

Soldiers Reunion.

Written by Rev. ID. f. Willard. Copied by one
OF the 10Th Me. boys for the Ellsworth Am
crican
Near twenty-five years ago, my boys,
Triumphant shouts arose;
Throughout the land, with gladstone voice.
The cry came. "war is closed"
All, then the weary marches ceased,
And bivouacs in the field,
And you and were more than pleased
To know the ieud was healed;
To know that ne'er again in strife,
Between the blue and gray,
Would brothers yield up life for life,
In battles fierce array.
No more would prison walls inclose
Some brave but captive band,
Whose forfeit-paid to bitter foes
Was cruel wars demand.
No more would comrades. side by side,
lnhale the lannon's breath
AS on they rushed, with manly pride,
10 victory or death.
At length the contest ceased, but ave,
Upon each CORY plain
Were many heroes lett to die
With none to soothe their pain.
But now, with a united land,
Made such by vaor brave,
Both North and South can shake the hand
Der stern rebellion's grave.
Make bright each camp fires cheerful
blaze,
1e vetrans of the war
Ave. let it burn as in the DAYS
That lingcr from afar.
Here tell the perls YOU have known,
And live the war scenes DER,
Rehcarse them till itc> sun goes down
And camp fires blaze no more
Your ranks are thinning out. my bows,
And soon the time will come
When. il you meet to tell your JOYS.
Twill be beyond the tomb.
There may YOU grasp each others hand
There count your conflicts Der.
And in that bright celestial land
kncamp forever more.

world n: large, and even West Virgiuians
themselves hardly dreamed Of the posi-.
bilities 80 near at hand, and Of the wealth
that WIS almost within their grasp. But
the last five years have witnessed a
change. Mines have been opened here,
there aud everywhere, and rich deposits
OF iron and coal laid bare. Railroads
have been constructed to carry ores TO
furnaces, and what is better still, the
most recent development is in the direc.
ton Of establishing furnaces at or near
the mines. Timber lands are daily be-
coming more valuable, and on every
hand are evidences Of prosperity, sucn
as even the most sanguine OF the
early prospectors hardly dreamed Of.
The lhtiux'ot laborers to convert the
crude ore into finished products has Gre
ated q demand for the necessities and
comforts OF life, which true progressive
enterprise is beginning to supply at the
place Of consumption. This eau, in
many cases, be done cheaply, for fuel is

such rapid progress has recently been

make it entirely feasible 10 employ cleo.
