Pfc STRAWBERRY CULTURE. Sirperlonco of a Farmer Wto Has Coltl- i vated Half an Acre. Some writers on strawberry culture, to convey the idea that to be (profitable new beds must be planted fcvcry.year. This may be the case in jflelcl culture on a large scale. But to many it is discouraging to think the ground must be occupied and carefully cultivated for two- to get one -crop only.

My experience of many years on a small scale (half an acre) is the reverse, and I cannot see why the area could not be increased with the same result. Any good fertile soil can be well ma- nured, plowed and harrowed in tho and planted with extra early potatoes or peas, which can be got off the last of July. Without any ad- 'ditional manure, the ground can be iplowed, harrowed, leveled-and planted 'during the first two weeks in August, strong, stocky strawberry plants, '16 inches apart, in rows 2S inches apart, 33 inches between every fourth row for a path for picking. These if properly set out, kept free jfrom weeds and all runners cut, will yield a good paying crop in June. "With ithe same care, a full crop will be got 4ihe following: June; and with a favorable season and tho weeds kept down, la paying crop may be got the third sea- iBon, but the berries will be smaller.

In order to get strong- plants, place tfour or five of the first runners from one-year-old plant, and lay Ismail stone on the vine to keep it in iplace until rooted. Keep all other runners cut off. The plants will be ready to set out the first week in August They will be better than any that can 'be bought, and will give as good a crop June as the much advertised pot- Hound, pot-grown plants. By using a steel-tined prong hoe between the rows and plants, as often as they can be kept cultivated and free from weeds, as easily as a crop of any vegetable grown in A ipood coat of horse manure should be (scattered between the plants just before frost, and. the whole bed covered feery lightly with evergreen- boughs, leaves and brush, or cornstalks, after 'the ground is frozen.

As my plants get to be'12 to 15 inches in diameter before the fruit-is ripe, I do not find it necessary to mulch them, the plants nearly covering the ground. Crescent Seedling, with a few Sh-arpless to fertilize them, has proved the best me. Any variety of feeble growth and liable to sunburn will not do as in single rows. I can get more quarts of good berries with less labor ifrom the same area of single plants Ithan by the matted-row system. If a gets foul with grass and weeds, it is' easier to plant a 'new one than to it out.

To insure a supply of fruit every year, one or more new should be set out each August (Beginners having no plants to propa- from must buy a few goc-d plants set them out early in the spring-. IWith good care, and allowing no fruit -to form, or more than one-half the runners to take root, the rest being cut off, a supply of plants will be ready to set in August W.

"I went home shortly after nine o'clock the other evening," said a well known gentleman of long residence in this city to a friend yesterday, "and I was pretty tired, too.

As I entered the hall I saw sitting in the parlor my eldest daughter and a young man who has "been coming to the house for some time.

When rjroperly washed, they should be of either hot or cold rinsing- water, but not wrung very dry. Now, laving wiped-off 'any -dust, from the.

mirror, marble table or, in an emergency, the smooth the wet linen carefully on the glass or marble surface, being very careful to press out all wrinkles, and see that every, part clings closely to the surface. Embroidery can be made to look very nicely. In a few hours the handkerchief will be beautifully smooth and dry. If carefully done, a fine muslin handkerchief laundried in this way looks better than when submitted to the smoothing- iron, and many travelers prefer to continue this method after the special exigencies of travel are Y. a la po- tatoes are quite famous for their excellence.

He has just felt it his duty to withdraw from the ministry; and this is the grandiloquent way in which he announces the fact: "For a while my tongue shall be silenced and my pen palsied. I shall drop into the great sea of humanity and be lost to hearing and to sight But I have no complaint.

On the final night of the season, somewhere up in New England, Mr. Booth presented her with a book. Of course she appreciated the courtesy and resolved to treasure the volume as a precious souvenir of her association with the great actor. But what words could describe her emotions when, a few days later, on turning over the leaves of the book, she found between them a new crisp one-thousand-dollar bill!"
