FARM AND GARDEN. TIMELY SUBJECTS TREATED IN A PRACTICAL MANNER. I Bow and When to Set Oat Strawberry f Plants?A Convenient Plan for Laying Out Garden Bedf?xne system 01 kowi In Field Cnlture. A question often asked by amateurs is, "When is the best season to plant out strawberry beds?" All seasons, when the Boil is in good condition, in the hands of skillful persons and with care in shading, protecting, etc., are successful, but the months of April and May in the spring, September and October in the fall, throughout the northern states; January, k February and March in the south, are periods when the least care is required to insure the greatest success. HB f~ a.m? ? ' mint* ? ~ t fc. * ?* ? ? ^ * I2.lt t t ? %/UR DIAGRAM OP STRAWBERRY" BED. The ground being properly prepared, the planting should be in straight rows, using a line, and may be done with a dibble or by furrowing a line lightly with a shovel r>r double mold board plow, and then drawing the earth in around the ?lant, as it is placed, with the hands, a extensive field culture the system of rows is the most advantageous, and these should be about three and a half feet apart, with plants one foot apart in the row, to admit of the passage of the horse, shoe or cultivator between them. Cultivators differ in opinion and prac ?/vo a a +n fViA nrr?n cement of Dlants in beds. In the cut here presented is shown a plan that affords great convenience in a garden plantation and one that is mnch employed. The ground is divided into beds of 4 feet wide, each of which may contain three rows of plants, the two outside rows 6 inches from the edge of the beds. The plants may be set 12 inches apart in the row, except in the ' case of very strong growing plants, when 18 inches apart will be found preferable. Thus, a bed 20 feet long and 4 feet wide will contain from 40 to 60 plants. Where there are several of these beds, it will be a good plan to separate them by walks of 2 feet in width. The plant? should be of one season's j growth, from the seed or runner, and well rooted. nn ' W ^ PERFECT?PISTILLATE?8TAMINATE. In setting strawberry beds it ought to be borne in mind that there are three kinds of blossoms, the- male, female and hermaphrodite. Hardly any varieties are now grown that are purely staminate or male; they are entirely worthless except for the pollen. The pistillate or female varieties are numerous, such as Crescent, Manchester, Bubach, etc. These, properly pollenized, are the most abundant bearers. The hermaphrodite, such as Wilson, Capt. Jack, Charles Downing, etc., that have a perfect blossom, are productive without any other kind. Select, if possible, a moist time for transplanting strawberries. Spread out the roots apd cover them with soil, but do not cover the crown of the plant with earth. . Important Points in Wheat Culture. A few years ago an experiment was conducted at Cornell university with a view to deciding the proper depth for planting wheat. Seven plots were seeded; Wo. 1 at i to $ inch, No. 2 at 1 to 1? inch, No. 8 at 2 to 2}, and so oq. to plot 7, which waa planted at 6 to 6$ inches. From the results irained it was concluded that the Med placed at i to J of an inch produced by far the strongest plants, and that depths of not less than $ or more than 14 inch are probably the extremes for wheat to secure the best results. In the cut is shown a wheat plant from seed sown at a depth of $ to $ of an inch, and one sown at a depth of 6 to 6^ inches. It will be observed that the wheat plant tends to spread its roots just below the surface of the soiL In the experiment noted, seed placed at a greater depth than li inches formed two sets of roots or a stem too weak to give proper support to the plant.; WHEAT BOWH AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. On the subject of commercial fertilizers | for wheat Rural New Yorker gives the following advice: Buy of any well known fertilizer firm a "complete" fertilizer for i wheat, and state whether your soil is Ivnn nmr > n nnm UgUb VI Dttuuj. a/v auu uuj auj Luvvrnpletti fertilizer unless you have good reason for believing that your soil does not need a complete fertilizer. Probably your .land needs bone; probably it needs potash; probably it needs nitrogen; but it also probably needs all, in which case any one alone will not pay. Sow it broadcast before harrowing, at tho rate of not less than 500 pounds per acre. Seeding Land to Grass. j American Cultivator reports that those who have tried the method of seeding i their land to grass in August or September. without sowing any grain with the grass seed, have been pleased with the result if the land was in good condition, that is, sufficiently well fertilized and i made fine enough for a seed bed. P There is no American boy, howevei Eoor however humble, orphan though e may be( that if he nave a cleai head, a true heart, a strong arm, maj not rise through all the grades of so> cletv and become the crown, the glory the "pillar of the State. The so-called Christian era, of which Christmas is the most important date was iDvented by a Latin monk, DionysiU3 Exijenus, in A. D. 532. It was introduced mtp Italy in the sixth cen v tury, but did not come into general us? for three or four hundred years. Many a man is so afraid of stumbling that he refuses to step at all. . i DENTAL NOTICE. ^ S. F. Killingsworth, No. 4 Sejil Blook. Abbeville, S. C. DENTAL NOTICE. Dr. S. 6.

Vinegar Making as Carried on by Lai| Piodncers, With PracticaJ Hints fi N Making It in a Small Way Tor Hon Consumption. l0 Vinegar can be made from a variety < Bt substauces, but in a country aboundir ly in apples there appears no reason f< Q; makiug it for domestic purposes fro: 1T mi.. v anything out inis irim. juu mu?.iug i* - gins as soon as there are enough win falls to furnish a supply. These ai - ground in tho mill as for cider, and tl f juico may be pressed out at once; bt large orchardists keep the pomace in ope vats or casks until it has undergone fe; * mentation and become quite sour. ] y1 is then pressed, and the juice is moi easily and thoroughly separated from tl pomace than if pressed at the time < grinding. The grinding being done and the presi ing over, the sour liquor is put into ope casks to stand until thoroughly settlec |? and then drawn off into barrels not quil i full, leaving the sediment in tho bottoi i- of the casks. To get the benefit of tl: warm fall weather these barrels Bhoul be kept out in the sun, but covered wit boards as a protection to the cooperag* When cold weather Bets In they shoul be removed into the vinegar house, whic should have a stove or 6ome other a: i* rangoment for keeping up a mild,even ten U peraturo through tho winter. Througl a- out the whole process, until tho vinegs is fully made and no greater acidity 1 dosired, tho barrels should remain ui bunged. A small piece of musquito ne - ting should be tacked over the bungbolt to exclude insects. The barrel 8 ought to be iron hooped an J painted, and while a large produc< should have a vinegar house adapted 1 the purpose, many persons who mal considerable quantities store it in cellai t. or barns through the winter and roll q- out in the spring for better exposure 1 the sun. At least a year will be require 28 to make strong, merchantable vinegar t ?s the process described, but, unlike mar other products, it will continue to gro stronger and better the longer it is kep While most large producers in the com 'J try prefer to wait on the natural proces the making of the vinegar may be ha tened by occasionally turning "the cid( from one barrel into another, exposing more freely to the air, and also by the a< dition of a gallon or more of strong vin gar or a little mother to each barre Trickling it down ^through beech chip shavings or corn cobs, saturated with o] vinegar, is another method sometimi used for gaining time in the process, it When farmers have no cider mills ai >r but few apples, says The New Yoi World, from which the above is quotei they may make their own vinegar t mashing apples in a tub with pounder. The pomace should then be pi into a half barrel with holes in the bo torn, and be placed over another tub as T receiver. A follower can be placed on tl pomaco and be pressed down by a levi or stationary weights. The juice shou] be kept in a keg, bung open, and in warm place until the vinegar is made. I , frequently replenishing as it is drawn ou any farmer's family can easily keep u io their stock. A few apples mashed ar le put in a stone jar, covered with wat< jj and the juice of some soured fruits ai berries, can be used for this purpos Vinegar will stand quite a low temper ture, but it is better not to allow it i freeze. - Vinegar from other substances is som times made. Wine vinegar is from sourc wines and the juice of grapes. Wii vinegars are extensively counterfeited t chemicals. For sorghum vinegar, to or gallon of sorghum syrup add five or si I gallons of water, with a little yeast, or 1 a barrel of the strained juice of the can a pint of yeast and a little syrup. Larj quantities of vinegar are. made fro: _ whisky and aciSs that have a good a; pearance and sharp acidity, but are unl for family use. For molasses vinega take one gallon of New Orleans molassi and five gallons of water, put in a litt old vinegar to sour it, or start it to fe menting with a little yeast. Keep in warm place and cover the bunghole < h the keg with netting, to keep out tl )r flies. Fine honey vinegar is made in tl l" proportions of one pound of honey to 10 gallon of water, thoroughly mixed. F< healthfulness and general utility app cider vinegar stands at the head of tl list. Fall Plowing. There appeal's to be no very settle agreement among farmers about fa - plowing. Its desirability depends muc on circumstances. When manure 1 spread on and the ground is plowed in tl 5 fall it becomes more thoroughly incorp rated with the soil and is much moi available to the crop than when done jus before the planting. So under most ci cumstances it would seem that fall plov ing will bo beneficial for spring plante crops. Tho lay of the land, howeve . should bo taken into consideration. If lies so that it will wash badly from rail and melted snows, then the less tl surface is disturbed by plowing until it absolutely necessary the better. Also, re it is of a gravelly or sandy nature thi L will leach manure down beyond tho roo of the plants, then it will bo better 1 wait until spring. A sandy soil shoui se be treated entirely different from one < r* clay. Being loose in its texturo it mt le be easily plowed at any time, but the so^ of ing or planting should follow quite soo: 8 These aro somo of the things every oi D* must consider for himself, and regula ry Lis time of plowing as he has found it be t8 suited to his own farm, ae _ The Chinese Primrose. U The Chinese primrose is one of 01 plants that cannot bear to have wato stand about its crown. If kept too we _ pays a correspondent in Vick's Magazin In nine cases out of ten rot will set and the plant will eventually die. Th trouble, it is claimed, comes from pottii too low. The earth is drawn up aroui the base of the plant, and often so liif as to come in contact with the leave This is all wrong. The crown of tl plant should be an inch or two above tl I surface of the soil, and quite out of reai of water. t" Ono Curo for a Self Milking Cow. >F If readers who ore troubled with co^ milking themselves will take one-four of a pound of cayenne pepper and mix with one pound lard, applying tho mixtu to the cow's teats after milking (wipo t! tie ' teats before milking) and continue its u ^ about two weeks, it will curo tho lic,b; n. says 0:10 who has tried the pfcn with s: sli Iflfactory results. a, It Is reported that tho honey crop of t! id country is below the average*this seaso lie 'la up The best thing to give to your etiei: lle is forgiveness, to an opponent tolerar -a- to a friend your heart, to your child Dd good example, to a father deference, your mother conduct that will ma her proud of you, to yourself respe to all men charity. ud The two sides of the human facet 10 never alike.
