Fall Flowing.

There appears to be no very settled
agreement among farmers about fall
blowing. It's desirability depends much
on circumstances. When manure is
spread on and the ground is plowed in the
fall it becomes moro thoroughly incorpo-
rated with the soil and is much more
available to the crop than when done just
before the planting. So under most cir
cumstances it would seem that fall plow-
ing will be beneficial for spring planted
crops. The lay of the land, however,
should be taken into consideration. If it
lies so that it will wash badly from rains
and melted SHOWS, then the less the
surface is disturbed by blowing until it is
absolutely necessary the better. Also, if
it is of gravelly or sandy nature that
will leach manure down beyond the roots
of the plants, then it will be better to
wait until spring. A sandy soil should
be treated entirely different from one Of
clay. Being loose in its texture it may
be easily plowed at any time, but the SOW
ing or planting should follow quito soon.
These are some of the things every one
must consider for himself, and regulate
his time of plowing as he has found it best
suited to his own farm.

DIAGRAM OF STRAWBERRY BED.
The ground being properly prepared,
the planting should be in straight rows,
using line, and may be done with dib-
BILE or by furrowing line lightly with a
shovel or double mold board plow, and
then drawing the earth in around the
plant, as it is placed, with the hands.
In extensive field culture the system Of
rows is the most advantageous. and these
should be about three and half feet
apart, with plants one foot apart in the
row, to admit of the passage of the horse
shoe or cultivator between them.
Cultivators differ in opinion and prac-
tice as to the arrangement of plants in
beds. In the cut here presented is shown
q plan that affords great convenience in a
garden plantation and one that is much
employed. The ground is divided into
beds of 4 feet wide, each of which may
contain three rows of plants, the two
outside rows inches from the edge OF
the beds. The plants may be set II
inches apart in the row, except in the
case of very strong growing plants, when
IS inches apart will be found preferable.
Thus, bed 20 feet long and feet wide
will contain from 40 to 80 plants. Where
there are several Of these beds, it will be
a good plan to separate them by walks OF
feet in width.
The plants should be of one seasons
growth, from the seed or runner. and
well rooted.

Important Points in Wheat Culture.


A few years ago an experiment was
conducted at Cornell university with a
view to deciding the proper depth for
planting wheat. Seven plots were seeded;
No. / at ! to ( inch, No. 2 at 1 to II inch,
No. 8 at to 2a, and so on to plot z. which
was planted at 8 to 81 inches. From the
results gained it was concluded that the
seed placed at ] to { Of an inch produced
by far the strongest plants, and that
depths of not less than Z or more than II
inch are probably the extremes for wheat
to secure the best results.
In the cut is shown wheat plant from
seed sown at depth of l to { of an inch,
and one sown at depth Of to 81 inches.
It will be observed that the wheat plant
tends to spread it's roots just below the
surface Of the soil. In the experiment
noted, seed placed at greater depth than
II inches formed two sets Of roots or q
stem too weak to give proper support to
the plant?

The Chinese Primrose.

The Chinese primrose is one of our
plants that cannot bear to have water
stand about it's crown. If kept too wet,
says correspondent in Vick's Magazine,
In nine cases out of ten rot will set in
and the plant will eventually die. This
trouble, it is claimed, comes from potting
too low The earth is drawn up around
the base Of the plant, and often SO high
as to come in contact with the leaves.
This is all wrong. The crown of the
plant should be an inch or two above the
surface of the soil, and quite out of reach
of wafer

IsTILLATE-sTAMINATE
In setting strawberry beds it ought to
be borne in mind that there are three
kinds of blossoms, the male, female and
hermaphrodite. Hardly any varieties are
now grown that are purely staminate or
male; they are entirely worthless except
for the pollen. The pistillate or female
varieties are numerous, such as Crescent,
Manchester, Bubach, etc. These, properly
pollenized, are the most abundant bear
ers.
The hermaphrodite, such as Wilson,
Capt. Jack, Charles Downing. ETC., that
have q perfect blossom, are productive
without any other kind.
Select, if possible, moist time for
transplanting strawberries. Spread out
the roots and cover them with soil, but
do not cover the crown of the plant with
earth.

On the subject Of commercial fertilizers
for wheat Rural New Yorker gives the
following advice: Buy Of any well known
fertilizer firm complete" fertilizer for
wheat, and state whether your soil is
light or sandy. Do not buy any incom.
plete fertilizer unless you have good
reason for believing that your soil does
not need complete fertilizer. Probably
your land needs bone; probably it needs
potash; probably it needs nitrogen; but
it also probably needs all, in which case
any one alone will not pay. Sow it broad
cast before narrowing, at the rate of not
less than 500 pounds per acre.

in Field Culture.
A question often asked by amateurs is,
"When is the best season to plant out
strawberry beds?" All seasons, when the
soil is in good condition, in the hands of
skillful persons and with care in shading,
protecting, ETC., are successful, but the
months Of April and May in the spring,
September and October in the fall,
throughout the northern states; January,
February and March in the south, are
periods when the least care is required to
Insure the greatest success.

The anomalies. abmrdities aud mys-
tefles OF medical professional etiquette
with regard to advertising arestrlkingly
and amusingly Illustrated by an action
which was tried a Manchester assizes
on Friday, says the London Truth
Damages for libel were claimed BY Dr
Kingsbury Of Blackpool against q
medical journal which had charged him
with conduct wholly incompatible
with the honor and dignity Of the pro
fession." and held him mp to medical
reprobation" for allowing himself TO be-
advertised as the physician Of two hy
dropathic establishments For the
plaintiff several medical witnesses eX-
pressed the opinion that he had done
nothing unprofessional. For the de-
fense several other members Of the pro-
fession took the opposite view, and II
was in the cross-examination Of two
of these gentlemen that the fun came
in. The first Of them was Sir Dyce
Duckworth The plaintiff's counsel put
to him the fact that Sir 3. w. Richard
son was advertised as consulting pbysi-
clan of an institution in Leicestershiro.
Sir Dyce disapproved Of this u was
then pointed out that the witness own
name and his private address appeared
on the widely circulated prospectus of
an insurance company to which he was
consulting physician. To that Sir Dyce
could see no objection. The next wit
ness was Sir w r. Stoker He was
asked what he thought of physician's
name and address being given In an
insurance prospectus. lie said lie
thought IL was wrong So Il will be
seen that Sir Dyce DucRworth con
demned Sir b W Richardson. Sir W.
r. Stoker condemned Sir Dyce Duck
worth and both agreed In cOndemnlns
Dr. Kingsbury Having impartially
considered the conflicting views as to
medical etiquette with which the court
was thus favored. the jury come to the
conclusion that Dr Kingsbury' protes-
sional character had been unjustly as
/ persed and awarded him $50 pounds
/ damages II has always seemed to me
| that there Is a good deal Of humbug
/ about the objections of the bigwigs OF
/ the medical world to advertising.
! Nearly all are guilty of the practice

But somehow the heads of the protes-
sion have got hold of the idea that
