LvEraERT's TRIAL.
Crowds surgIng the Court Room, Among
Them Many Women.

IHoH many houlehs
CHICAGO, Aug, 2s,-There was no
falling off in the crowd that surged
around the court room door to-day
seeking admission to the Luetgert wife
murder trial. Many women and girls
were In the throng. No additional ju-
rors had been accepted by both sides
when recess was taken. but the states
attorney still believes that the jury
will be completed during the present
week. The first act of the jury will
probably be to visit the cellar of Luet-
gert's sausage factory and inspect the
surrounding; and the watts In which
Mrs Luetgert's corpse Is alleged to
have been destroyed. There is SOM
talk that Luetgert is showing signs of
breaking down. particularly II he
should go on the stand.
The two little children were again in
court to-day. Elmer. the younger Of
the two boys, climbed upon his fathers
knee and drew pictures on n pad o
the states attorneys paper, growing
and laughing at his childish efforts. 1t
Is probable the little ones will be con-
slant attendants during the progress OF
their fathers trial for his life.

Strawberry Culture.
Long Leaf, N. c.

For Market and for Home USE
Strawberriesare grownin Florida only
to limited extent for home consump-
ton; they are produced mostly for
shipment to Northern markets. Hence
there is compare lively little scientific
interest attaching to the pursuit with
most growers, so faras the discovery of
new varieties is concerned and the de-
velopment of old varieties to that
state of perfection to which Northern
growers are stimulated by frequent
competitive exhibitions at the fairs.
The Florida grower pursues a system
of great simplicity in it's objects; the
two questions of paramount import
ance with him are, first, to produce
berry that will ship we'll; second, and
depending on the first quality, one
that will sell well. But it must not
be supposed that the attainment of
these ends does not involve questions
of complexity and difficulty. There
is no other commercial crop grown in
the State which requires more skill
in producing and more shrewdness in
marketing.
Considerations Which Should De-
termine Choice of this Pursuit.-To
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-01

While the clover or pea vines are
rotting, large quantities of carbonic
acid gas will be generated. This gas
will soon be converted into carbonic
acid, which is a powerful solvent and
acts on certain rebelhous elements in
the soil, especially potash, reducing
them to plant food. In some cases,
as much as IS per cent of the potash
in the soil is in rebellious state.
Hence any solvent that will act on it
and reduce it to plant food is equiv
alent to direct application of pot
ash
In addition to the above, the ground
is made loose by turning under veg
etable matter, which gives it the nee
essary humus.
1t requires time for vegetable mat
ter to properly decompose and pro-
duce the necessary chemical changes.
Hence in order to produce a large
yield opera tons should be commenced
the summer previous by growing one
of said green crops, to be turned in
the autumn or fall when fully ma
tured
[ believe the distance recommended
Grows about three. feet apart and
eighteen to twenty inches in the
drill" is close, especially if fortified
according to foregoing. The above
plan will, as I believe, increase the or
binary yield at least 300 per cent and
[ believe that if ,ne ridges be con-
structed five, instead of three, feet
apart they will be found none too
wide. Of the two extremes, it will be
better to give too much than too little
distance.
Cooking Potatoes for Hogs.-If po-
tatoes be boiled and when done about
one fourth the quantity of corn meal
and a sufficiency of salt to make them
palatable be added [ believe that the
mixture will fatten hogs faster than
all corn. Before killing they may be
fed for proper time wholly on corn
or dough.
Keeping Potatoes.-f potatoes be
put away at the right time and in the
right way they can easily be kept
through two winters. Consequently
it is an easy matter to keep them I'M
til the new crop comes in. But for
lack of space directions for keeping
will be reserved for a future article.

or three miles to find land naturally
adapted, and be obliged to wagon his
berries that distance over rough roads
before they are shipped.
On light sandy soils, where orange
culture would prosper, it is an almost
hopeless undertaking to plant straw
berries Nothing will warrant the at
tempt except the possession of facil-
tiles for copious irrigation.
Irrigation.-Th time will probably
come, under higher system of culti-
walton and improved methods of
transportation which will preserve
tender, high-grade fruit in transit,
when irrigation will be profitable. I'm
der present circumstances it may well
be considered problematical in great
majority of cases. An enterprising
wide-awake grower will prepare his
land early, breaking it up deep and
making it fine and firm, set his beds
before the end of the summer rainy
season, securing deep-grown, power
full plants which will, on suitable soil.
go through the severest autumn
drouth without detriment, growing
right along. In the usual spring
drouth judicious irrigation would
doubtless increase the size of the ber-
ries-not their cumberland enhance
their market value. But large strong
y,1o fc Hot soil will
endure drouth surprisingly well;
and the reduced yield of the carelessly
cultivated plantations will give
higher value to the output of those
which were we'll cared for, nearly, if
not quite counterbalancing the fall
ing-off in quantity. Still, we believe
that, even with the abundant though
badly distributed rainfall of this
State, some inexpensive but effective
system of irrigation will eventually be
adopted by the best growers.
But care must be taken not to give
excessive watering. A certain modi-
cum of moisture in the soil imparts
to the berries size, gloss, plumpness
and firmness, but too much in lures
their shipping quality.
Varieties.-The Newnan.-The lead
ing varieties in the State are the New
nan, Hoffman, Cloud, Wilson and
Lady Thompson, in the order of their
mention. There are probably five
times as many Newnans grown as of
all the others put together. 1t is prob
ably not worth while to give techni-
cal description of these varieties since
the purpose of this bulletin is to treat
them with reference to their CONNER
cial uses. None of them are of first
class quality for the table. Probably
the Lady Thompson and the Cloud are
the best for this purpose. The New
nan is so inferior for home consump-
ton that, among the numerous lus-
cious varieties grown in the North, it
would occupy a position well down
toward the bottom of the scale. It is
a hard and rather acid berry, espec-
tally in the winter and early spring,
and at this season it ripens somewhat
unevenly, frequently becoming bril-
liantly sunburned on the upper side,
with a glossiness like that of glass,

of strawberry culture as speciality
there are certain considerations which
should exert leading influence with
him. 1t is of great Importance that
he should have enough neighbors en-
gagged in the same pursuit to form a
body of shippers sufficient to guar
antee good shipping facilities, such as
refrigerator cars, boxes, etc., and a
substantial recognition by the trans
portation companies in the shape of a
favorable schedule and the provision
of an ample supply of cars for the re-
ceptiOn and forwarding of the ship
ments. There should be a telegraph
station during the season. This is not
of such Importance in the matter OF
market reports, as these sometimes
cause a stampede of the shippers to
market reported favorably, causing
gluts and low prices. The greatest
value of the wire is in securing a
prompt supply of refrigerators, ice,
ETC., at critical times, when delay of
a few hours might involve serious
loss.
No indOlent or careless man should
choose strawberry culture for vo-
cation. Ordinary farm crops which
do not require much expenditure for
fertilizers and labor may be cultivated
in a slipshod manner and still yield
some sort of living. But the straw
berry demands a great deal of pains
taking labor-drudgery it would be
called by one not in love with his call
ing-besides considerable outlay for
expensive fertilizers; so that, unless
the crop is kept up to high standard
and all the ms and outs of the mar
llets and transporta ton methods are
vigilantly looked after, the result will
be failure. Industry, economy and a
careful personal attention to a multi
tude of details are more important
than an intimate knowledge of the
markets, for it may be set down as
automatic that good fruit will sell it.
self.
Soils.-The best soil for strawberry
culture is good quality of fiatwoods,
for this plant demands liberal sup
ply of water and a water-holding ca
pacity of the soil. To this end there
should be a subsoil of clay eighteen
inches or two feet below the surface
A long gentle slope to the south is
the best situation, as the subsoil of
clay acts as roof, conducting the
waters of precipitation slowly down
ward beneath the surface, in thin
sheet along the clay sheet from which
it percolates upward by capillary at
traction, watering the plant through
drouth by system of natural sub
terranean irrigation.
A hammock or ''bayhead" Ca cy-
press swamp offers the next most ia
vorable conditions, but a soil of near
ly pure muck or vegetable detritus, OF
fine foury texture, does not resist
drouth as well as does the sandy fiat
woods soil. Such soils pack together
hard, the moisture rapidly evaporates
the customary spring drouth quickly
reduces the size of the berries and ter
inmates the harvest before the ship
