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.

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.

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.

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:
