AGRICULTURAL • PLANTING A STRAWBERRY BED, The seoret of growing good, straw- berries is not in the variety, but in the soil. The bed shouldebe in the first place absolately clean, not only •of • weeds, but of weed seeds. No reale ma- nure should be placed on or in it, but, the ground shouldbe made rich and mellow, very much as you prepare for growing vegetables. Set the plants in the fall, about the first of ugust or soon after. This will depend some- what upon the season. Some years good. plants cannot be had before the mladle or last of .A.u:gust. The young plaints should. be mulched at once, most 'generously, with either fine cut hey or such litter as may be at band. The best growers of large berries have a babit of shading the plants with frames covered with paper or other naaterial. No material for fertilizing strawberries is equal to wood ashes. It may ae borne in mind thaa the soil in which the wild berry grows is that of decay- ing wood; so you may safely apply any (meant of chip manure or woods, • dirt and muck. The use of attrate of soda and sulphate of 4111111onia as a stimu- lant is also retommended. But if the weather is dry there must be no stint in the application of water, This should be applied in holes, dug by the side of the plant, and not on the plant; ancl it should he aliened very liberally. Beth during the growing season and. the Learing season keep your strawberry bed as cool as possible. Shoulhl you use, potted plants? Not if the expense is much ahead of layered plants. If possible, grow your own plants. Mr. Davis, a successful grower, says he always seleets the second plant from the first runner on the parent, plant. At all events, take gboct strong sets if yea wish for quick growth. Re fore winter sets in cover your plants al- most out of sight with compost. and then spread over a thia layer of leaves of cut straw, or sawdust. This com- post should always be in making, if you wish for success in hortioniture. I have six- beds in different parts of ;illy lana. They are made of ashes, coal ashes,barn- yard manure, weeds, Waste sod;. in. fact everything that will decay encl. tient I can lark together in the fall to use both for covering and. for ;manure. to these piles go hundreds of loads of leaves. !However, it must be borne' ku mind, that, as a rule, farmer find time to get their ground mate for strawberries at the time E have in- dicated. If it has been impossible to do so, you may set your plants as late as Oetober I, and even later, if taken up with plenty of earth. It' planting is delayed till spring I should with, to set just as early as the ground can be in good condition, certainly by the middle of May. In this case I should invariably mulch nay plants, and leave the mulch on all summer, of course, with proper working,It has been it rule, with me, when intending to set a bed in springtime and. the plants meat be obtained at a distance, to se. - cure them in the fall and bury them in the garden or cover them under the heel of a greenhouse, so as to have them ready for very prompt setting as soon as the ground is prepared. Oth- erwise your order may nor. be filled for two or three weelea eater- they should have been set.—E. P. Powell, FALL STAI3LE ITEMS. In autumn domesticated animals com- mence to shed for a winter coat, and they need some attention so that this change shall be gradual and. not Injure the •general healthfor it can only be maintained through a healthy condition of the skin. There are sev- urg %uses interfering with this chang- ed coat. 13aa"girobThitsIgey none,att. all leaves the hair matted. and. the pores of the skin clogged up. Exposure to chills and draughts are frequent causes and improper diet another. At this period grooming and diet should be attended to. Bran mashes, with linseed, meal and crushed oats will assist materially by bringing the di- gestive organs into a fit condition to assimilate the extra stimulating feed needed to keep up t1e animal heat dur- ing the winter season and protect the constitution from its effects. Protection from draughts prevents chilling of the skin's surface, which re- tards the shedding of the summer coat of hair, thus interfering and retarding the growth of the winter coat, often making an animal look unthrifty all winter. With some horses there is, perhaps, some necessityt o clip the body because the coat is coarse and. heavy. • In suet; cases this attention is important, for it brings about an early change and healthy skin. (rhe clipping can be done early in the winter season, there- by rendering a horse. less liable to chills than when the clipping is done later. -Much of the coarse condition of the winter coat is due to neglect of •proper attention at shedding time, A horse that has been' clipped requires great care and attention to raake him look equal to on,e with natural bealthy coat. When horses are to be turned out to rough it all winter, such careful at- tention is not absolutely necessary. Yet it is better to have the winter coat well started before they are turned out. A tablespoonful of flour of sulphur added to a mash once or twice a week acts beneficially. on the vessels of the skin, but should not be gi-van during cold weather, as iit is considered to open the pores too much. HORTICULTURE WILL PROGRESS. We shall never reach the goal of our desires, when we shall knave exactly What to plant and how to cultivate, and how best to gather, pack, market and sell, so that our work may • be without some disappointments, but of this we may be well assured. The day is not coming, either now or hereafter, when intelligent hcaticulture will not hevie its reward; • when men will de- mand less fruit, but more; when size and color and exquisite quality, brought about by highest intelligence in culture and management, will not always bring coreesponaing increase in price; when ntelligent study of the courees of. na- ure or the 91:2 96t of frost and sun and lou.d upon the life, and health of plant, •--I—Any person who takes a paper regularly from the post allies, eibetlier deacted, be his name or another's, or whetter he has sub- set ibed or not, is responsible for payment. 2- if a person Orders his paper dislcontinued ho must pay all arrears or the publisher my continue to send it until the payment is Mad5. and then collect the whole amount, Whether the paper is 1ciken from the office or not, 3—in suits for subscriptions, the suit may be ii,stituted in the place e here the paper is prib4 lished, although the Subscriber may reside hundreds of mile,. away. - 4 --The courts have decided that refusieg to take "newspapers or periodicals frote the pest , office, th roneneug and leaving them encaned TOV, is prima tame evidence of intentional 1; fraud. - and the beauty end. sweetness of fruit, will not riehly repay tbe student.

Few men ever become so utterly absorbed in striving for mone-y or hollers that they do not cherish to the end of their days a tender hope that some day they may ler° surround- ed- be trees and plants and. flowers, No lite, no matter how luxurious in any city, no matter how great ana prosiperous, can so well sustabe health and vigor, or so wall enable one to rear a family of healthy and happy children as a life on the land and near the heart of nature. THE FARMER'S TOOL KIT. What a farmer's tool house should be, and the tools it sbould contain, de- pends altogether upon the ability of the farmer, says a contributor. It is not. to be supposed that he would. equip himself with it full set of blacksmith wagon -maker, carpenter, harness or shoe tools, but a few of mole come handy every few days. Every farmer, land owner, or renter, needs a good, hand- saw a square, good augers, from two inches down to the size commonly used in the brace, etc. When buying small bits, it pays to buy drill bits. They do not split thin lumber in boring, apd they pay fox' themselves the first job. A post maul, wire stretcher, planes, cold chisel% drawing knife, copper rivet tools, and a, good claw haramer are eesential and, recessary tools. With proper eare there need be but few' breakages that cannot be sx'epaired at home. Having confal- most in our own ability to do any kind of common. repairing, is half the job. We smell farmers are not all suppos- ed to have a fine workshop or tool house with our work benah and vise, but we pan ha,ve a shed to store our farm Implements in, and while doing that we can make room for the few too's we possess. No man able to oNvn farm. machinery caaa afford to let it stand out and rust away, just to try his hand repairing. I have A rough shed 12x21, that sheds a (binder, mower, sulky. plow, riding cultivator, walking stirring plow, isteel harrow, buggyt two-aeated carriage, and there is plenty of room for all the small tools the average farmer needs. Go and build one likewise; now is the accepted time.

One thing about, the cattle situatioe. Farmers and feeders are not as ner- vous about the future as they were awhile ago and are not frightened into selling, by tereporery down turns, The feeling among cattle dealers, every- where is the strongest in years. A well-known suceessful farmer, who Is very reach interested in good hogs, says: "My pigs consume the • skim milk from my Jersey herd. This with ; middlings and gronnd barley, 'flakes more muscle than corn does, and. there is none of that heating so detrimental when corn is largely the diet of growiag pigs. Clover pasture is another good accompaniment." The milk from ex -Governor Morton's farm at Ellerslie, N.Y., is sold in New York city at a,velve cents ae'quaxt. A part of this price may be due to the reputation of the owner, but =eh Of it is due to the reputation of his cows and a keowledge a the way the cows are cared for, and the moiik handled. The cows are as good as any in the country, liberally fed, kept under EOM- fortable conditions all the time, care, fully groomed and the cows and the cow stables are always as neat and. clean as any gentleman's carriage horses and their stable. PRUNING. Pruning a newly set tree. Wthatever, may be xecessary, should be done soon after setting, and all after -pruning should be supplementary to that. Buy well grown trees, with well -branched heads. A. tree with it main leader or stem, with branches diverging equally In all directions, at intervals of from three to six inches, is the model tree, and such a tree needs no pruning. Such a. tree, when grown, will selciora split down,. But it is not often that a strictly perfect tree comes from the nursery, for they are hard to grow, and it becomes necessary to bring the tree into this model condition by prun- ing, Remove sharp forks and some of the weaker branches where they are too close together, keeping the tree bal- anced ori all sides. Init with more branches on the southwest side; don't cut back either the leader or. the ends a side or lateral branches, 'except it be some unusually long ones on apple pear, eta. If much cutting back is need. - ed do it the second spring, before buds swell, for trees live better when not cut back, especially °harry and pear. Never cut back the branches of a cher- ry tree the first year; out out entire ail weak branches, but don't shorten thosel eft.—Stark Brothers. Onms • --L.. WINTERING COLTS. The future of Ifie'cola ilteeenae very largely upon the feeding and care it receives during the first winter of its life. if it is permitted. to "rustle" for a scanty living then, and to take on a staring, ill -kept abat, it will never get over it, even though it should sub - .sequently receive excellent caze. In. this the colt does not differ from oth- er domestic animals. The grower of goo& cattle or pigs knows that after he has seen that the breeding is right, his success will depend upon good care and liberal feeding, so that every day will have its gain, and there will be continuous thrift without any stunt- ing. In all live attack the stunting of the young is rarely, if ever, recovered from. The difference between a horse that is just fair and brings &low price in the market and a very good one that sells at a remunerative figure of- ten depends almost wholly upon the first winter's care and keep. Heavy horses are profitable now, and the colts of this class that are now coin- ing on will be still more so it they axe properly handled. They should be fed for growth liberally as to quantity, but with no attempt at mere blubber making. A good grain feed for colts during the first winter and until grass comes may be made of oats, corn, bar- ley and oilmeal, mixed in the propor- tion of six pounds of oats, two of shred- ded corn and one each of barley and Mimes." To this hay or out stover, or both may be ad.ded as a coarse for- age and a colt thus fed will surprise its owner at a year old and will get it start in life that will make a good, valuable korse all its clays and will have the weight that the market so much' desires and is so willing to pay for. The grain feed above mentioned may be varied, but, the proportion of the grains given furnishes an idea of the character that the grain feed should. have. On it Shires, Percherons and Coachers have made a daily gain of two pounds for seven or eight months. The. feeding should be light In corn, etrong in oaks, and these grains should be, made more growthy by the eddition of a nitrogenous meal suele as oilmeal. ' FARM NOTES. Wear an ill-fitting collar and then imagine how the horse likes to wear one. Grain Is cheep. A little added to n WEATHER HINTS. aA r inboev n the morning is the •bepherd's warning. When wrens are seen in 'Winter, exe pact plenty of snow. Nests of hornets hung near the ground. mean cold weather. When rain comes from the west, it will not continue long. Chipmunks that disappear early are sure sagns of cold. and extremely ugly weather. Blackbirds flocking- together in the Fall, indicate a cold spell of weather. When the leaves of the trees curl, with the wind" from the south, it in- dicates rain. When the birds and badgers are fat in October, a very cold Winter may be looked for. An unusually clear atmosphere, when distant objects may be easily seen means rain. If the crows fly south, cold weather will follow; If north, a warm spell may be expected. Turkeys ,perching on trees and refus- ing to descend, indicate that snow will shortly fall. If October brings heavy frosts and winds the following *Tanury and Feb- ruary will be mild. If cattle leave off feeding and chase each other around the field you may safely expect rain. If. All Seines Day will bring out the Winter, Saint Martin's Day will bring out the Indian Summer. If golden -rod blossoms early you will need heamy clothes, for bitter cold weather will prevail. If spiders spin the filaments of their webs long, the weather will be serene for ten or twelve days. Gnats flying in compact bodies in the beams of the setting sun indicate fine weather. THE OCEAN CABLE'S ENEMY. Cable termites are very destructive insects. The French cable at Tonkin, a few months after it was laid, began to show signs of decay. On examining the cavaties in the old, cable, Prof. Bou- vier ae•aae.yeeeieeeaneelemy of Science, discovered that they harb-earruhaiatiee a new termite.

ROW SOME PEOPLE LIVE. *seer Ways of Eking Out Inmatneleut Regular Incomes, In the struggle for life, which is so keen at this end of the century, some people resort to strange expedients to get bread and ahem or to inerease pittance, to a comfortable income. In- spector Livingstone, who was fancier' ly in charge of the police at the T.41:tir Courts, Loudon, tells at tragic, story of a poor and briefless barrister who fought thel ang and. grint tattle with fate, and was beaten in the end. In the early hours of the morning be worked as a market porter at Convent Garden,and then at 10 o'olock aeljourn- ed to his chambers in the Temple, dots- ned wig and gown, and attended the courts waiting day after day to grasp the skirts of happy chance. Otbers as unknown to teas world and friendless as he had their opportunity, but none presented itself to him and itt holio ev" deferred his race was run. A. Somerset House aerie, who rushed into matrimony before he had properly wurited the cost, and found it diffi- Milt to run even a modest household an £150 a. year, especially after the ar- rival of at little stranger. got over the embarrassment by starting A COFFEE STALL near Smithfield Market in the early morniug. He kept his truck in the neighborhood, but brought down his stock of comestibles from his borne itt Camden Town. Fortunately, his wife, who did her best to help an the enterprise, was a capital plain cook, and his mutton pies and buns had a great reputation in the market. He was generally cleaued out by 8 o'clock, and no one would have thought of iden- tifying him with the smart young man, silk -hatted and top -coated, who two hours later crossed the Strand, to Som- erset House. A rising author who is now sought by the publishers, but had a particul- arly hard struggle to find acceptance, tided over the worst period by acting as a broker's man. Taken as a whole, nasstiminissiestutietteessamse he found et a most unpleasant exper- ience, but be declares that he wouldn't have mussed it for the world, for it numbers of sketthes and short stories. has supplied him with material for A Christmas story which brought him a. lot „of praise; for instance, was a chapter from that experience, and well deserved the encoranem of "very realistic" Urine the critics. A. friend of the writer, who rejoices Ili what the police reports call "every aristocratic appearauce," and has in ad- dition excellent manners, adds enough to a, slender income to pay for the smumer holiday far himself and fam- ily, Ms tailor's and bootmaker's bills, and even his rent, by acting as A PRIVATE DETECTIVE. at balls and receptions in Belgranla and Mayfair. Chews threw him in contact with the manager of a detec- tive agency which does a great deal .02 business of this kind, and. his first job was, in fact, simply as a night's diversion at the invitation of the man- ager aforesaid. But so pleased was the lady of the house with his appear- ance and obliging courtesy that she made spedar mention of it to the man- ager, who accordingly proposed to my friend that be should accept regular paid employment. He was nothing loath, and now has engagements al- most every night during. the season. Another curious case is that of a Nonconformist minister in the south of London who doubles his slender sal- ary by the profits of a flourishing pho- tography business on the other side of the Thames. Originally be took up photography as a pastime, but ac- quiring considerable skill in the work, was pestered by people who wanted to get their portraits taken on the cheap. So he determined to gain instead of lose by his work, and. taking conveni- ent rooms at some distance from the scene of leis ministerial. labors, set up as a "pbotogranhic artist" under an- other name, his daughter acting as his assistant. Fortune favored him, and before the secret of his constant ab - seen?, from home was fathomed. by the curioui elock, he had made so in see:nen:Less that he stood in pnroomawise ogf deaconschurch, though, indeed, the former haveatakeeneatererev sensible view of re matter, and ad:. mire rather than 'ands= his enter- prise. HE STOPPED IT. The RUSSIalt Emperor Interfered In a law Snit When the Evidence Did Not Suit The Czar haa exercised for once his autocratic power by summarily stop- ping the caezee celebre whieli was in progress in. St. Petersburg in connec- tion with the charges of embezzlement brought by the morganatic widow of the murdered Czar Alexander II. against Baron von Taube the guard- ian whom Alexander bad appointed to aet as trustee of the property he be- queathed; to her children Alexander inve.sted abroad, prior to his assassina- tion, an immense sura of moneyi aanounting, it is said to some $30,000,-. ON, for the benefit of his widow, the Princess jurriefska, and her children. He. confided the administration there- of to Baron von Taube. The latter is accused by the Princess of having embezzled about $1,050,000 of the monea, an the evidence thus far produced during the course of the trial. at St. Petersburg has proved the guilt of the baron up to the very hilt. The baron, however, in self-detence be- gan to produce so many unsavouty revelations with regard. to the private' life of Alexander II. that Nicholas determined at once to stop the pro- ceedings He accordingly requested the Princess to withdraw her charges and to abandon the prosecution in- timating that he would make good to her out of his privy purse the amount of which she had been' robbed, HOW TT rtas HER, The Prince,ss, who is very obstinate, declined to yield to the Emperor's wishes in the molter.

This will bit tbe Princess more deeply 1 ' than anything else, for she is renown- , ed for her greed of money, and the dif- ; ficulty whith her lovely daughters have experience'f in finding husbands has been entirely due to the extraor- dinary refusal of the Princess to sur- render to any of her children on their marriage even a cent in the shape of dowry or allowance. Had it not been for this it is probable that one of her daughters would have. wedded Count Boson. de Talleyrand Perigord, the sera ond son of the Prince and Princess de Sagan, and the bearer of one of the greatest and. most bistoric names in France. VICTORIA'S GOLD SPOON. A curious story is told by Lady Mid- dleton of how one of Queen Victoria's smallest gold. spoons was lost and found. A lady attended a state ball in a dress, the skirt of which was ar- ranged in perpendicular plaits in front, stitched across at intervals, and unknown to her, a gold teaspoon got lodged at supper in one of these re-. ceptacles. Pf course, there was one missing after the ball, and it, wised great perturbation to the official in charge of the gold. plate. 'The next spring the lady who had been the in- nocent cause of the loss went to a drawing room in the identical dress she had worn at the state ba,I1, and as she , bent low before Her Majesty the plaits of her skirt expander and the gold ,spoon fell at the Queen's feet I CONSTITUTIONIeLLY DOUBTFUL, Browne—We are a cynical lot: Towue—Why do you say that?
