Corn Culture.

The experiments of Professors King
of the Wisconsin and Hays of the Da-
kota stations go to show conclusively
that on good corn soil the depth of the
blowing had nothing to do with the root
habits Of corn. Tt appears to have been
proved that the artificial hill is of no in
fuence, save to assist in drying out soil
that is, as a rule, quite dry enough for
the full growth of the plant. When one
understands the habits of corn roofing,
he will readily see that fiat culture, and
inducing the large feeding roots to de-
velop in the surface soil and send the
feeders down into the deep soil from
them, is the natural way, and that root
pruning is not best, even in years Of full
average rainfall.

There were so many crates OF delicious
looking strawberries piled up in front
of j I. Libby's store on Commercial street
yesterday that the PRESS reporter
stopped and had little talk about
strawberries. Where did those come
from? Those are Maryland strawberries,
and are retailing now about 10 cents a
box and two for quarter.
The first strawberries came here in
March and April from Florida They
came in refrigerator cars to Boston and
then were sent here in small refrigera-
tors, not to keep them coel of course, but
rather to keep them warm, for the re-
frigerators keep an even temperature.
These Strawberries cost 25 cents box.
The first strawberries by express came
here this year about the Sth or 10th of
May. They came from North Carolina
and Norfolk, Va. They retailed at about
90 cents box
Strawberries began to come here from
Maryland about the Goth of May, and
have been coming ever since. They sell
| for about Is cents box. They are not
only cheaper tlldu ullOSo lIOul lbIUieI
south, but much better Fin quality, kthe
earliest strawberries being not only very
sour, but very hard and tasteless, the
result of forcing the season, SO to speak,
and as the strawberries creep farther and
farther north they get better and better
in price and quality, till we have our OWL
native strawberries, most delicious of al
and cheapest, and should you go up tt
Canada in July would find this delicious
berry still creeping north and getting &
still better quality, for the Canadian
berry, coming late in July, cannot be sur
passed in size and flavor.
By next week, probably. strawberrie!
will come here from New Jersey AMI
Delaware, and from Long Island abou
the middle of June.
During the past week the average ar
rival of strawberries in this city per da,
has been at least $50 crates, which would
be 5000 boxes at Is cents box at retail
that would be total of 1880 per day
For the week of six days, we would hav
the large total of $500 worth of straw
berries handled in Portland this week.

Auction Sale of Horses.

Thirty four head of horses were sold
under the auction hammer at Mr. Matt
Benson's public sale yesterday. The
prices realized show a continual advance
ment which certainly must be satisfying
to the numerous owners of horse property
in Maine. The demand at the present
time is constantly increasing, even in
this horse raising State of Maine, which
is SO continuously and extensively drawn
from, that we have to import our work
er from the west as general sale. Mr.
Benson seems to be accomplishing good
work in supplying workers for our farm
ers and teamsters as well as general driv-
ers and family horses

The principal feature of Memorial day
will be the dedication of the Monument
at Evergreen cemetery. This will be
one of the most memorable events in the
history of the Post, and unusual efforts
have been made to have all comrades
who are able, attend. The name of the
donor of the monument is as much a
mystery as ever 1t will not be revealed
until the uveiling on Memorial day.
The speech delivering it to the Post, is to
be made by Judge Symonds, and Mr.. E.
G. SWEET will accept it in behalf of the
Post.
The Post came into possession of its lot
in 1878. 1t was known as the Chapel lot
before that. All members of the Post who
die without means and wish to be buried
on the lot, are inferred there by the

In Time of Drought.

Professor Roberts makes the point
that stirring the upper part of the soil
in dry time is better than mulch to
preserve moisture, because cultivation
tends to keep the roots below the stirred
soil, while mulch draws the roots to
the surface-not good place for them.
He mentions the effect of cultivation in
dry seasons in California, where they
have no rain from May till September.
Yet in orchards and vineyards he saw
the top soil as dry and fine as an ash
heap, but one could kick away this dust
and find moisture three or four inches
beneath the surface.

night from being smothered by coal gas.

THIS MONKEY VAS Drunk.
His Queer Actions Caused Considerable Ex-
citelnent on Grand Avenue.

citeInent on Grand Avenue.
An intoxicated monkey was the cause
of considerable excitement on Grand
avenue near Jefferson street early Sat
urday evening. The monkey in ques-
tion was the boon companion of an Ital-
ian organ grinder. The latter halted in
front of Pasquale Deterio's saloon on
Grand avenue and proceeded to grind
out After the BALI in anything but
melodious tones The monkey imnedi-
ately went into the saloon, intent upon
collecting pennies. Inside the saloon
was a man sitting at table with half
a glass of lager beer in front of him.
This the monkey confiscated and drain
ed the glass. He then jumped on to the
bar and swallowed in quick succession
two glasses of whiskey.
The organ grinder pulled the cord and
the monkey collected several pennies
and came out of the saloon. Soon after
he struck the air the liquor he had TAX
en- affected him and he began to reel
around like drunken man. Just then
a dog came down the street and the
monkey jumped on his back and rode
fastened. He was then jerked off the
dogs back and seeing baby carriage
near by, he climbed up into 1t and
struck the occupant several times, af-
ter which he lost control of his legs
and fioundered about on the sidewalk.
BY this time a large crowd had col
lected and the sidewalk was almost COM
pletely blockaded. Several of the Off
GERS of the Grand avenue precinct no.
ticed the crowd and were soon upon the
scene The crowd was quickly dispers-
ed and the organ grinder notified to
move on with his drunken companion
under penalty of arrest The instruc-
tions were complied with and the Ital-
ian with his intoxicated monkey under
his arm soon made himself scarce in
that neighborhood

very rough homeward passage, falling
in with, a bad storm, which gave them
a taste Of life on the ocean wave, which
they will not forget. It blew great
guns and this was the same storm in
which the captain of the steamer Paris
was thrown about violently on deck
and had his arm broken. The big
waves washed over the steamer and
tumbled movable property about in a
reckless manner. The party were two
months away, leaving here July 10th

met Miss Skinner who was recently in

they met four New Haven ladies, one

Paris they also met Ex-Alderman
George r. Burton and wife and anoth-

time they met the widow of Professor
Scnaeffer and family who live near the
