As this is the season for preparing the
ground FOR the above named crop, Iwould
give the readers of the TRIBUNE the b.st
method of cultivaiing them. The ground,
"as In all other crops" should be well pull
veiized; then with light plough and one
horse, turn one furrow then have, put a
sprinkling of phosphate of lime, guano, bone
dust or some other fertilizer, along on the
furrow, where the back furrow will cover 1t (;
repeat this operation ill the whole is finish
ed.


The ridges should be two and half feet
apart and done very lightly. The amount of
fertilizer will depend upon the richness of
the soil; If the soil is very thin, there should
be six hundled pounds of phosphate per
acre. Where the soil is good, one half that
amount will be sufficient. Now pass over it
with light roller, when 1t will be ready for
the seed, which can best be put in with
common seeder. In this way from one
hundred and fifty TO three hundred bushels
eau be raised 20 the acre.
This amount of nutricious food adds very
much to farmers winter stock of provision,
and is much better than to feed stock alto
gethcr on drJ hay or grain. Every Farmer
who has not already done SO should try it.

The discoveries of scientific and practical
men in the past few years have excited
large amount Of attention from that class of
our farmers whose labor is given principally
10 the cultivation of smaller fruits. Among
the most saleable ofthesc, paying probably
the largest percentage to the grower, is the
Strawberry. Five hundred dollars from an
acre in grain or grass would be deemed an
impossibiliiy, but that amount from an acre
Of Strawberry plants is frequently realized
The fear that an overstocked market would
place their price below remuneration, has
proved groundless, for it has been found an
impossibiliiy to overstock the market
Many of our farmers contemplate this use
of their ground for coming yeas, and to
them we would say ditodys set out the best
plants, even if their cost is considerably
above the average, for this will be found
the truest economy in the end. Light,
loamy soils with clay subsoils are best for
this purpose, and a fair amount of exposure
to the sun is also Of value. Perhaps there is
no plant more sensitive to the touch of pro-
per fertilizess than this one, and too much
attention cannot easily be given to this fact.
The land should be placed in the most cul-
tivated order before setting out the plants,
which should be Kept out of the sun and in
moist condition uuiil they are transplant
ed. IF the season is dry and hot, it will be
necessary for short time to water and
shade them through the day, always taking
care to uncover them at night so they may
receive the invigorating effect of the dew.


Strawberries are best grown in beds four
feet wide. This secures convenience in
gathering and allows opportunity for culti-
vation. Three lows should be put in bed
and The plants in each row placed twelve
inches apart. If the rules to which we have
alluded are observed the trausplanting may
be done in any month from March to
November, al though the summer months
are preferable. The sewest runners are
made by those set ia June and as more OF
less of these are desired farmers will either
use or avoid this month in their work. An
acre of these plants nan be set by an expert
enced man in day and will number about
10000. .arf 4 g.t4l ~

imprudently answered, and which led to an
exchange Of photographs and hearts. The
correspondence was continued during his
enlistment, at the end of which time they
agreed to meet at a hotel near her fathers
residence, and from which lie accompanied
her home, and continued his visits once a
week until about three months since, when
the parents of the young lady discovered

often, whcreupon the mother gave him





gentle hint to discontinue his visits. After
that time they met at the house ofa friend,
about three miles from her home, where
the plans for future operations were dis
cussed, and where we understand, the nup-
tial knot was tied. The young man is said
to be very industrious and sober mechanic,
and his friends have no doubt he will make
the lady good husband. The bride is said
to be worth $50, 900 of her own, which will
place her husband in business on his own
account, and, If properly managed, will in
a few years make him Independents of the

this place on Wednesday night, pursued BY

all the manufactures you busy shops
have turned out, and all the produce
and live stock the farmers have con-
tracted to sell. The greater part, by
far the greater part, then, of the loss
by the depreciation would necessarily
come upon the community as a whole,
and not upon the bondholder who first
receives the bills. F.g .+..


"From whatever point of view ex-
amined, we still find ruin for the coun-
try, and for the whole country, follow
ing from this insensate and dishonest
scheme. ....~-.a.... .....


"But, it may be said, if the burden
come back after all upon the people,
why object, since they will only have
paid off their own debt?


"rhc objection would be that, in
stead ofpaying off the debt gradually,
and as the country is able to bear it,
it would be done suddenly, which
could not be borne by any people in
the case of a debt of such size. We
may pay the debt, we will say, in
thirty or forty years, without extraor-
dinary suffering, but to pay it in three
or four would be beyond our power.
The same Democratic orators, when
they had other points to make, have
been accustomed to asseverate that the
debt was nearly or quite as great as the
whole value ofproperty in the country,
and they will be the last men to advo-
cate payment when once the people
see clearly that their attempt at repu-
diation would not only be immediate
payment, but such payment as a kna-
wish trader has to make under the
sheritls hammer ; payment which is
infinitely worse than an honest settle
mcnt with his creditors.


"Not only would such scheme re-
suit in taking the whole amount out of
the people, but instead of discrimina-
ting in favor of the poor, they would
suffer most in proportion to their
means. By the laws, State and ma
tional, which the Union party have
made, the income and the fixed pro-
perty Of the poor man is exempt from
taxation. This principle of discrimi-
mating in favor of those who are the
least able to bear the public burdens,
runs through our statutes and is a
prominent and marked feature in
them. But | have already shown
that in a depreciation of currency the
loss is on him in whose hands the
money is, and the poor man has no
favor. The banker or trader sees the
changes Of the money market first, and
il will be the mechanic who is little
vcrsed in premiums or discounts, the
farmer who lives out of reach of daily
press-currcnt, who will bear the great
est proportion of loss, relatively to their
means. This Democratic plan, then,
among all other sins and mischicls,
has this additional one, that it could
not be more cunningly devised to force
immediate payment ofthc whole public
debt, by first getting it into the hands
ofour own peopleand then repudiating;
and this is the precise way ofall others
which will be the most ruinous and
bear the hardest upon the poorer class
es." ....
