STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

l.. Strawberries 90 well On almost
any we'll drained soil which is free from
frost, reasonably fertile, and not in
tested with white grubs.
3. There is little danger of making
the soil too rich, but there is a possibil-
ity of injuring the plants with CONNER
cial fertilizers, if placed too closely
about the roots, and with coarse M
nure.
8. Commercial fertilizers seem to
have no eff ct on white grubs, nor does
manure, but the latter stimulates the
plants, so as to repair the damage.
4 the best fertilizers are well rotted
manure, bone meal and wood ashes.
5. The best method of preparing the
soil is to pillow in the fall, mulch with
manure and fit the ground in the
spring with cultivator and harrow.
6. The best time to set strawberry
plants is in the early spring. When
plants are to be set in the fall they
should be especially grown for the pur
pose, either in frames or pots.
z. For matted rows the plants should
be set eighteen inches by four feet
apart, and for hills, foot by three.
s. In hill culture the runners are all
removed, and for the best results in
matted rows a part should be cut off,
or some of the plants dug out.
g.. Generally, it is better to keep a
bed only one season, but if kept longer
the best treatment is burning soon
after fruiting.
10. Winter protection should be
given by %mulching, and the best mate
rial is swamp hay.
II. 1t is not advisable to remove the
mulch in the spring, either to cultivate
or to avoid frost, unless the soil is very

HORTICULTURE
WHERE AND HOW TO PLANT
STRAWBERRIES.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Strawberries can be grown success
fully on almost any soil If it is properly
prepared. II the soil is too wet and
soggy, drain it; if too hard and thirsty,
suosoil it; if given 60 sand put vegetable
matter in it by turning under green
crops.
AZ the South Strawberries may be
planted from October Is h TO April 18th,
except on stiff soil subject to heaving
in hard freezes. The plants are injured
not directly by the cold, but indirectly
by its mechanical effect to heave or lift
the plants and leave their roots ex
posed. On such soil do no planting
from November 18Th to February 18Th.
The best time 10 plant everywhere is
in the spring; in the latitude of North
Carolina from February 18th to March
18th; a little earlier or later in proper
ton as you are further South or North.
For field culture, prepare the soil
well, s%uOsoiling if the subsoil is hard
Or drought likely to occur. SubsoilIng
is also good in excessively wet seasons,
as it enables the soil to hold more water
without washing or drowning. Har-
row we'll If there are clods.
Land that has had clean cultivation
for several years previous being freer
Of weed seed, is best. At any rate 1t
should have been cultivated the pre-
vious year, OF it IS likely to be infested
with white grub or cutworms, both in
their season highly destructive to
plants. Where COWS have been pas
tured they are almost sure to abound.
Stable manure can be used without
limit If thoroughly mixed with the soil
by narrowing. Wood ashes are also
excellent. These two alone are suh
Gent to make fine crops. Lacking
these SOW in drills, run off three feet
apart, 800 lbs. fertilizer rich in potash
and mix we'll with soil with harrow.
List on this with a light furrow from
each eide. Knock this liss down nearly
level. Open holes Is inches apart aud
set plants just deep enough to cover
roots and no deeper. Much harm is
done by planting too deep. Whether
trowel, spade or stake is used to open
holes, they should be broad enough to
allow the roots to be spread some what
fan shape when set.
For garden culture, plant on low
beds, three rows to a bed; rows one
foot apart and plant one foot apart in
the row. Have beds far enough apar5 !
to allow walking between each series !
of three rows.
Strawberries are so easy TO grow, !
are such a sure crop and are so saleable
even on the smallest local market, that
they should be more extensively
planted. 0. W. BLACKNALL. !

This worthy brother lived and la

his brethren to be faithful to their OBJ

of duty. HIS fervent prayers at the
opening and close of u sessions, and
his constant daily walk, made US all to

which he was a member will miss him

Murder of a Newly Born Babe to Oh.
tain Insurance Money.

Charlotte, N. c., Jan. ia special to
the Observer from Beaufort says: There
smoreexcitementin in Beaufort, N. c., abouta
sequel to tie graveyard insurance cases.
One OF the defendants and his wife were
jailed for the supposed murder of their
child today.
Beaufort was stirred with excitement by
the finding by two boys Of a dead infant
in the river. Suspicion pointed to Sam
Williams, one OF the defendants in the re-
cent insurance trials. Sam, who was Wild
over until few days since, brought home
his bride last Tuesday, and but day or
two after. Bessie, Sans Oldest child by his
first wife, whom the insurance company
accused Sam of getting rid of in order to Sc
cure the insurance money on her life, re-
ported that a baby had made its appearance
in the home OF the newly-wedded couple.
'Williams denied 1t, but Investigation
showed that his Oldest girl by his first wife
had been terribly flogged and bruised in
the face, and said she had thus been pun
ished for revealing the fact of the child's
birth.

SLEPT SEVEN LONG YEARS.
When He 4 woke William Depue Was
Blind, but Other wise Well.

Milford, Pa, Jan. 11.-William Depue,
a prominent and enterprising citizen OF
Bushkill, Pike county, who for seven years
has been lost to the world, living in a semi
conscious state, and his mind almost per-
feet blank, has just suddenly come into a
normal condition again. Mr.. Depre is very
reluctant about discussing his almost un-
paralleled case.
Seven years ago while at work Mr..
Depue was suddenly taken ill. Doctors
were summoned, but could determine no
possible ailment. The sick man sank into
cataleptic sleep, from which no powers of
medical science could give him any relier.
At no time during the long period did he
appear to recognize anyone, and food was
given to him through tube inserted in his
mouth. He lost no flesh, and was apparently
as healthy as any well man.
Although the best medical men In the
country were called to the bedside Of Mr..
Depue, his case barfled them all.
Upon recovering his senses he set about his
usual labors as il he had been asleep about
tie ordinary time, but strange to cay, Mr..
Depue remembered nothing that had taken
place during his seven years trance.
The only difficulty he experiences is that
he is almost blind. Otherwise, his physical
condition is perfect.
