& IIMSGF W I THE STRAWBERRY—VAKJETIEH IULTURE. Though the earliest and one oi fh-ts finest at small fruits, many of oor peaple, as yet, real- ly do not know bout great a luxury they mis* j in neglecting to cultivate a bad of strawber ries. No fruit is more easily raised nor bet- ; ter repays cultivation. In the vicinity of al most ali large towns and cities they are ex tensively cultivated aud are a source of itn tnense profit. There is scarcely a village iti the country where one or more persons of limited means may not make a nice addition to their annual income from the cultivation of a few square rods of strawberries for mar ket. Will not some one in the vicinity of Bedford undertake to supply the market with this delicious fruit. Now is the time to begin: beds set out the latter part cf this month and and the first of September, if on good soil and properly cultivated, will produce a fair crop next season. Tor general culture, either for home use or market, we would recotu- [ mend. Wilson's Albany, McAvoy's Superior. Triumph De Gaud, Scarlet Magnate. Rus sell's Prolific, and Hooker's Seedling, as most likely to give satisfertion. For the benefit of such as wish to provide for them selves a bountiful supply of this luscious fruit at.other season (aud we hope their number will be legion) we append the following re marks on its culture from the American Ag riculturist for August, 1861: You MUST HATE STUAWBSBBIES.— Not a'u occasional half pint doled out by the tea spoonful, but plenty of them, great bowlfuls ahd panfals, once or twice a day for a whole month at least—not little things of the size of peas that require so much time to pick them over, but great luscious ones, as large as hickory nnts and black walnuts, and larger too —not the chance growth of meadows cud pastures, requiring hours of picking in the hot sun, and the trampling down of grass, but nice plots of flourishing hills in the best part of the garden. You must have strawberries —not alone a few of you who dwell in the old settled portions of the East where other fruits abound, but all of you who live away on the new farms of the West, where few cultivated fruits are yet enjoyed, and cannot be until the trees have had time to grow. You must have them —not a dozen years hence, when you have got your farm paid for, your buildings completed, and everything else fixed up. You must have a good taste of them next year, and thenceforth all you can eat. They are good for the health. They are good for the temper; did anybody ever rise from a meaj topped off with strawberries and cream, and feel like scolding? They are the cheapest luxury the farm or garden affords, and the best. Good straicberries can be grown for 64 cents a bushel (1 cent a pint!) "But," says more than one, 'we can t af ford it this year; times are hard, and your cultivated varieties cost money." Not much; a dozen or two plants of good kinds will cost but a few cents —not more than one or two cents each. It is now nearly time to look out for a sap ply of plants. When not to be carried far, it will do to begin to put out plants any time 4 after the middle of August, or before, if the r new runners have become well established. The sooner they can be got to growing this year, the larger and better will be the supply of fruit next season. If to go tar, especially if by mail, it is best to wait for the cool weather of September, or even the first of October, before taking up the plants. We have obtained fruit the following season from plants set as late an November, but so late planting is not advisable. Cultivate Strawberries in the WU.—Ev ry successive year's experience antl observa tion, convinces us that when grown for fruit, it is, as a rule, better to put out strawberry plants in hills, 15 to 20 inches apart, and pinch off the runners. If multiplication is desired, let the runners set, but take up the plants as fast as well rooted, and put them out in hills. They can then be kept hoed al most as easily as corn, and they will produce better fruit and more of it than if allowed to ran in a tangled mass or thick mat. Soil and Manure. —Strawberries will grow oa any soil; but like every other plant, they will pay for manure, and flourish best on a moderately good loam. On good rich soil, little manure is needed; but on poor soil ap ply and dig in deeply a fair coating of well rotted manure. For a clay soil, nothing is better than to lighten it up with rotten man ure, and a large supply of black earth (leaf mold) from the woods, 01 of decayed chips from the wood pile. If the soil be subject to standing water, it should be drained. Thi s may be done by throwing it into high beds, or cntting deep paths between the beds or rows, with an outlet to carry off surplus wa ter. A supply of water below 18 inches in depth, is rather favorable to the plants. But too many specifications will intimidate the inexperienced reader, and though for ex tra crops of extra berries, a deep, thoroughly prepared soil is essential, we now desire to simply impress the fact that with a very tri fling outlay of time and trouble, eve>y garden may be supplied with a good bed of this most excellent fruit. They are grown about as easily as corn. Winter Protection. —ln localities where the soil is subject to much freezing and thawing, it is desirable to throw over the plots, at the beginning of winter, a coat of loose straw or leaves—not enough to smother the plants, or to prevent their being frozen, but merely to keep them from frequent alternate freeziug and thawing. Leaves are not so good as straw, as the former mat down and smother the plants more. As good a plan as any, if not the best, is to spread loose straw all over the plants, in November or December, and in Spring simply move the covering from the tops of the plants, and let it lie on the ground around them, where it will smother weeds, keep the ground moist, preveut the soiling of the fruit by rains dashing up the earth, and by its gradual decay fnrnish manure. | OCAL 80l JiTI FOR VATEKWN.

The drover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing Machines are superior to all others for the follow - ing reasons : 1. They sew direct from the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are Capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjust-west, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more firm, clastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to he washed and ironed, than any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us - , and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent ly wushed and ironed until they are woiy out. C. The structure of the scam is such that, though it be cut or broken at interv da of only a few stitehes, it will neither open, run, or rave), but remains firm and durable. 7. Unlike other, machines, these fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on other machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work.
