FBTTIT-GSOWEB'S COLUMN. II OR I If AND OTHER MATTERS. Strawberries Again. Since i i the article in our last on- i '-Strawberry Culture." We acci- nt.ly carna across a copy of the Gardener's Monthly published in Philadelphia, and the following article met our eye. We are sorry the editor in his trip through the West, for the purpose of visiting fruit fttr.n.H, should have entirely overlooked preat 1'cach Belt of Michigan, especially our own locality, with it? thousand aeres of fruit farms, where lo could have seen what he failed to sec 1-lnewhere, in the west, vix the hilt culture of the i is coming into more general favor every year, simply for the reason that it fays best.

We are mUeh pleased i the a i and call for it sun attentive perusal, and we trust that the editor will find it in his way to I'ome and see us, the next time he comes so near We have come to the conclusion that no client IB able to state his own case fairly. However much any one may love it in not in his own eyes ns it is in his neighbors, and "what is becomes as im- fjurtant rt pu for us, as it was two a years ago. As "legal adviser" of the great public, we are ejtrt'ful not to give an opinion imtil we have well weighed the evidence, )icnoi the (lurJffi'r'a Monthly is never found in ha.ite to jiraise, or eager to any system or variety. On the Strawberry question we determined to a tour during its seanon, compare notes and draw seem to us fair deductions from We started on the 20th of June, Strawberries being in i prime at home, nnd journeyed Pensylvunia, Central Ohio to St Louis, up the Missouri to Hermann and Bluffton, thence Chicago to Windsor, and Detroit to Pittsburg and home, thus affording us a chnitcc i see things under the most wideley separated climates nnd systems possible. At home we left the Strawberry a drug, peddling through the streets at three quarts for twenty-five cents.

We need not on the system pursued, as Mr. Satt a i essay has done this very well. His plan is the one most popular here and the same one pursued by Mr. N. Ohmer of layton, Ohio, and we are in- lined i that a greater weight of i per acre can be had by this system a by any on the other a we ns well satisfied a a greater weight of greenbacks per acre follows the hill system lit' culture.

It is strange that in a run of three thousand miles, we should see the hill system of culture nowhere in use except at York and Pittsburg, Pa. Those who attempted it did not understand it. Dr. Hull well remarked to us at Alton, that those who come to visit his orchards and plants, the gceat majority look on and hear, but neither see nor understand. As a system the hill plan is no- here in use that we can find, at least in except by Knox.

All readers i plan, we need not repeat it here, but the result is that a larger number of berries are produced, which always i larger price, no matter how the narkef mny bn drugged with small ones. Thu" i we found the lest berrius of a i i tJione of Mr. Oiimc-r, soiling nt four i i bushel, we found tho same i ings i i twelve dollars. a on an ucre from tiim: it in set out till time it is ed. (fiu- years) is not half what it is by the bod system years).

We arc satisfied a this system projirerly understood is the moHt profitable and best. As to varieties, we a seen nothing any were- like the Jucnndas at Knox's. There were thousands of berries in every direction of which twenty-five would fill a a For these ho was getting tt dollar a quart. These are put up in boxes like railroad conductors' ticket boxes, at $650 per box of six pttarts. It is proper however to pay that of these Fillmore, Agriculturist, anil some others were very nearly ns good.

It is the syattm tho system it-ell understood; nearly ns as the variety. Yet Jucunda was remarkably fine everywhere. At St. Louis and Alton, we good specimens, and heard good but at Detroit, we found them more than good, and growing in favor. Mr.

Ford, and Senator Adnir both large Strawberry growers, showed us magnificent beds of them. At Windsor in Canada, nt Mr. DougalPs, we saw La Constante iu beUer perfection than hnve ever seen. Hud conld not help thinking how glorious would be the sight if they were grown on an intelligent hill plan. As they were, they were little inferior to Knox's Jucun- das in size, though on account of the runners being allowed to grow on the bed system, there was not half the.

fruit there might be. Mr. D. says Wonderful is often sold tor IM Constante. We found him busy weeding out his beds, in which he takes pride.

The Wonderful is easily distinguished from true La Constante, us it 1ms a slightly purple tinge to the rui ners La Constanta being green like Tri- ophfi de Gand. At Dundee, on the grounds of Mr. Scrar- ton we had the i to sec beds of the Everbearing Strawberry. There were probably two acres of in full bearing, and we regarded it as one of the prettiest sights we ever saw. It is clarly an Alpine variety of Frag-tria V'csca, and the botanist who has made it a new species, 19 undoubtedly in a and yet he may be pardoned, for though an Alpine, it is just as much superior to the Alpines common in cultivation as tho Jucunda or Wilson's Albany are superior to the little trash of former days.

The fruit was not as large as the finest Albany; but fully equal in size to much of tho Albany crop sold in a Then as to the amount of crop. The usual varieties of the Alpine are very poor hearers; tint so great was tho profusion here, a from an estimate we made, we not be afraid to guarantee iico hundred bunh- ei's to the acre during the whole season, a half bushel could easily bo gathered from tight square yards, making about 40 bushels per acre at a single picking. This va- rioty is readily distinguished from other Alpines grown, by its greater tendency to produce blossams. We have seen Alpines bear a few flowers occationully from tho runners: but this one bears profusely from the runners as they grow. Another bed which we saw on the grounds of Mr.

J. P. Whiting at Detroit set out on the 12lh of May, was not only bearing large fruit abundantly, but the runners from them were also bearing. In the forthcoming number of the American Waturalist will a paper by the i of this on tho Law or Variation in Kragaria, showing that the Botanist a ai-e at fault in making a new species uf ii as new a new variety of groat ilue i i i i a Mcssr-. i i Co.

Budding Young Trees.

An inqury having been addressed to i of the The JVew England Furmer as to the proper time for budding, he replies, us Cole, a former editor of The Farmer gives the following general rule ns to the favorable i for i operation Apples, from August 16 to 2 quince, same as apples cherries, A 5 to i pears. August 10 to 20; peachop, September to 18 plums and apricots on plums, August 1 to 10. Hut depends on the forwardness or backwardness of the season, on the growth of Ihe tree affected by wet or dry weather, and on locality. Consequently must be exercised. "Mr.

Thomas says, the essentail requisi- ties to success in budding are, First, a i rapidly growing stock, so that the will peel freely. Secondly, a proper time; not so early that there will be too much a i ir mucilaginous cement between the bark aud the wood for the adhesion of the nor so late that the bark will uot peel, nor the subsequent growth sufficiently cement the bud to the stock. Thirdly, buds sufficiently mature. Fourthly, a keen, flat knife, for shaving off the bud, that i'. may lie in close contact upon the wood of the stock.

Fifthly, the application of a i a i moderate pressure, causing the bud to fit the stock clwsely. "The newly-set bud is united to the stock by the i sup, or cambium, or mucilage between the a and the old wood, but it should not grow i the next year: hence the i a of this substance being in the right state when the bud is inserted, and of its being put in nt the right season. The stock should be growing well when the operation performed, and it should continue to thrive ten or fifteen days aftcrwars. Wlvm wo hit on tho right i almost every bud will grow but if to early, the buds may start the same season, anil winter will kill them, or in case of el one fruit, gum is liable to ooze out and start off the bud and if douc too late, the bark will not peel well, and there will not be sufficient growing whenther to cause a union of the bud and stock." Directing ths Tops of Fruit Trees. If you wih to have flavor in fruit, you must hang it outside of the tree.

Inside fruit, or fruit grown in the shade, is sure not to a It will lack color it will lack fragrance and flavor; will be less crisp and juicy. It is less healthy, also. All fruit should ba kapt on the outside of tree, and i i uniformly. It is no excuse to say the the orchard is large. What pays in one tree will pay in a thousand.

We may as well have good i all of it, as not. Some trees will do their own thinning but many will not, and must be attended to, if good, fair, and uniform fruit is desired. Ry i i and distributing, the tree will be strengthened for bearing. It will have a good look, with the fruit all visible and all alike, and all good as good us sun and air can make it and it is not so apt in a rainy time to become moldy. Where the top is dense and the circumference close, there should be an opening made at the apex, a i i i out of the branches.

Some trees will do this of themselves, but if not it must be done by the pruner. This, not only to let the moist air out, but the i from the ground where the branches reach it, the tree seeming like an i cup, holding the moisture. Fruit inside of this in a wet season will necessarily be spoiled. There be air and light, and a degree of dryness for the i If a little sun gets through the apex or elsewhere, it will not a It breaks the also, and adds to the beauty of the tree. An orchard may be a artistically, and aesthetically, mid made an object to the eye, i at tho same time beauty will be heightened by tho sense of the profit.

The main i a i is i the cultivator, but the hoc should also be used for the purpose of keeping the entirely clean of weeds ami grass. The cultivator will a the runners along rows, and free the space between them. The rows will widen with the advance of the season, and diminish the space till compact beds are formed from 1J to 2 feet wide. This will necessitate a a i of the cultivator to one or two teeth. After the i i season is over the following year, nnd the beds well cleaned of weeds up to the time of freezing weather, it is recommended to cover the whole ground, walks as well as beds, i well rotted stable manure.

The plants grow up through this in the spring in a vigorous and clean state i care is takeu to have the a clean or devoid of gross seed.

Four hundred and fifty names of laborers upon the pay-rolls for last month hare all been cancelled and the several amounts a i over. The mile and a half heavy cut through the clay side hill leading out of towa is now about completed' and will be the finest piece of road on the line.

The approach to our village by rneants of this side hill cut is a peculiarly fortunate one. It may have seemed an expensive one, but when the r'ght of way is taken into it will be found to be the cheapest approach that could have been made besides being entirely out of the way and conflicting with no streets or alleys, nor marring the symmetry of the lots and streets of the village.

Wood's for Oar Chicago Letter. CIIICAOO August IfltU 1869. The only local incident worthy of note is the great Turn-Fesft now iu progress. Large numbers of strangers came pouring in on Saturday last anrl mingled with the German and native citizens arc having a grand good time. The standard amusement is drinking lager beer but the intervals arc filled up with all kinds of garnes speeches, music dancing etc.

etc. They march daily to a grove near the city and there upend the day in the niOTt agreeable manner possible. It cannot be derived that our German fellow citizens understand the benefits to be derived from enjoyment. In common with a large portion of the Union we were favored with a view of eclipse. It was gazed at from every possible point, some preferred the deck of a lake 6 team or, while others took their stand on the tops of houses, in the open squares etc.

The gun shone so brightly that the obscuration was not so great as was anticipated, but scientific men declare it to have been a complete success, Our Chinese visitors, Sing man and Chow Chew, took their departure last evening for N. York. They have been feasted ever since their arrival in the city. Yesterday they took a trip to Elgin in company with a number of prominent citizens to view the National Watch Co's works. The printing, telegraph and various other offices in the city, were minutely inspected by these celestials.

Our far famed river had become almost unendurable before measures were taken to cleanse it. The steam pumps are now at work however and the foul water is fast being drawn off. Many of our citizens are anxiously looking forward to the time when an improvement will be made in the city government. Very little attenlin is now paid to comfort or convenience. The water is turned off without notice, streets are torn up all summer, for paving and the convenience of the public little cared for.

The manner in which gamblers play their parts in fleeting young men, has recently been showu up to the public. A cashier of a large company entered a faro bank and was invited to piny by Not understanding the game he handed over $15 to be staked for him. That wae lost and more with it in hopes of regaining the first. This rascal kept up his pursuit of the cashier till he got $60,000 from him, of his employers' money. This ia the of too many respectable young men.

The opening of new life insurnce companies requrics the most respectable association of capital and reputation to make vigorous headway. A company a embraces in a most remarkably degree, those requisites, has been opening a mrml successful business here during the last six months.
