The Strawberry. Mr
The strawberry bears the same re
ation among fruits, that the violet sta
loes among dowers, They are the tio
arliest, and humblest, but the most nol
lelicious of their families. It in a p.
uestion, if the wide range of nature
urnishes a more delightful sensation 0o
o the palate, than in this humble do
berry. One of its greatest excollen
oies, consists in its being within the ur
easy reach of the poor. It is a bene- m
feetor of the poor, fur while it can be sbi
so easily obtuined, it elevates their
twtes, aid causes them to forget their ra
p verty for the time; by the reflec- as
tion, that the prince can procure no at
h.Iter fare, There is a charaoter of ti
kindness attaohod to this fruit, in its (
oefort to meet our wants so early in t
the year, and by its soothing effects, b
counteracting summer complaints, p
soonier than other fruits. Strange, w
that its cultivation is so much neg- tl
lected, when a few feet of space, and C
a few bours of attention will secure
a bountiful supply for an ordinary
family. In my estimation no part of
gardeniug gives so much satisfaction
as this. Eighteen months ago, I pro- i
cured one hundred and fifty plants,
which multiplied to such an extent in
one summer, that during this season,
I could easily gather a half peek of
berries each day. The secret of eue.
cess in Strawberry raising seems to be
in securing a strong and vigorous va
riety.
Mine is the Wilson's Albany, and I
believe it to be the best for this oli
mate. It roots deeply, and is thereby
enabled to *ithstanld the heat of our
summers. It produces a large, sweet
and finely flavored berry. It is one
3 of the very earliest, and continues
bearing when even later varieties
- have ceased. My vit.es are still
blooming, and bearing fio berries.
There is very little labor required in
o their cultivation. Cutting away the
weeds, ard grass, and taking off the
a runneis will be suffikient during the
iummer. In the fall a light docssing
o of oompost need be stirred in the aoil,
i and covered with a thin nat of straw.

ON OF THE "DozmEN oR Mo." I
A Novel idea.
At the regular monthly inceting of
he Pennsy vania Society for Promot- c
ng Agrioulture, held last week, Gen.
Eens.nton read an able and interest- i
ng essay on the use of blue glass in t
,he development of vegetable and i
inimal life :
The General gave an account of an
experiment of his own with a grapery
of 84 by 26 feet, and 16 feet in bight
t the ridge.
Into the glating of the grapery, at
overy seventh row of white panes, a
row of violet paines (blue not being at
the time procurable) bad been intro
duced, alternating on opposite sides
of the roof, so that a violet beam
might fall eventually on every leaf
in the grapery. Tbe cut tings plant
ed had grown rapidly. The gardener
was kept busy daily in tying up new
wood %hieb, the day before, he had not
observed. In a few weeks atter
planting, the walls and the inside of
the roof were closoly covered with
luxuriant f liage. A distingushed
beeduman has borne his testimony
th..t he had never seen any vines that
equalled those thus treated,
The vines wmte planted in April,
1861. Io 1862 they bore a woimer
ful number of branches. It wds found
that the building, small as it wa',
oontained io less than twelve hun
d ee pousds of grapes. In 1863 the
amonut of fruit was quite as lIO at
duriig the pieceding year, aid so
it continued sedson after eeason wt.h.
out abatement, the vines seeming to
require no time to rest.
The next experiment was with t e
piggery. A glazed roof half white
and halt violet was placed over the
building, and similar results wer;
tobtained, the at.imals thriving beyond
expectation.
An AlderLey calf, so pony aind fee
ble that its life was de-paired of, w as
p laced in a pen under violet glash.
Int went y.four hours a marked ehang.
bad ocenrred. The calf rose to its
fet, walked about the pen, took it~s
food froin the anger, arid manitested
great vivacity. In a few days ita
feebleness bad disaprpeared ; it began
to grow, amid its development was
ma rvel lou.
The same principles have been ap
plied to the raisimng of poultry wit
the most remnark rble suieess.
Hurricane in Lonitnti.
The Courier, published in St.
Liandry Pariah, Louisiana, of the 6tt
instanit, esys:
A terrible hurricane passed ovei
our parish on the evening of 'the 24
instant causing much damage at dif
