The condition necessary to get an abundance of fruit with little trouble, are ; Unshaded, rich, deep, mellow soil ; free from grass, sorrel, and o'.ber like propagating roots. If the plants are set out in the spring they will be in full bearing the next year. Set them in a line aoout a foot apart. The rows should be four feet apart. Have the paths a few inches higher than the cen ter of the row, to incline the showers toward the plants. Keep tfco ground free from weeds till the plants multiply and cover a width of about fifteen inches. Most of the weeds will than be crowded out. Keep both weeds and plants out of the paths. Push runners hack, letting them run over plants that have taken root. In winter they die and help to protect those that bave rooted from the iojury of frequent freezing and thawinj. Before heavy frosts set in cover still further with leaves, fine seedless hay, or chopped straw. In spring remove so much of this covering as has not set tled between the plants. After the plants are toughened by exposure to the sun and air it will increase the size and amount of fruit if the small and less stocky plants are pulled out; but a fair supply of fruit can be abtained without even this trouble. If the paths are mulched with leaves, fine bay, or straw the plants will better stand a drouth. The mulch will also keep down the weeds, and if extended under the edge of the rows, will keep the fruit clean. Poultry must not be allowed to in trude. A short pole with an old coat and hat hung upon it, just before the ripening of the fruit, will keep the birds away. After the fruit Is gathered, early in July, remove mulch from the paths. Save this for covering plants in the fall. Then cnt away all the plants from one side of each row, thus destroying fully oDe-balf of the plants. Plow deep or thoroughly spade up this cleared space, working in plenty of well-rotted ma nure. Hake off any old roots liable to catch. Manage always to keep the paths a few inches higher than the center of the rows, but the newly pre pared side should meet the old enough higher to allow for settling. When the runners get started it is well to turn those inclined another way toward the new side, and in case of severe drouth to place a handful of soil on some of them near the joints to insure enough taking root. In the Becond year serve the other side of the rows in a similar manner. Thus the plants may be renewed, season after season, without loss of grennd or time in setting out new plants. This method of culture is recom mended to those having but little time to spare, who think raising strawberries mysterious and difficult. Any farmer or gardener so situated as to carry out these directions, can,- by thus culti vating eight or ten rods of rows, raise bushels of this delicious and whole some fruit. Those having more time should study the various other methods, from each of which some valuable points aiay be gained. The Breeding Mare. To raise a good colt every year, says the I'rvticnl forTucr, is making a good investment. Like every other kind of stock, rearing it must be doue well. The mare can work just as well as not if good sense is the driver. She most not be hurried or put to straining work. She should not be made to plow where there are fast stones and alongside of a fast-walking and go-ahead mate. Two mares in foal work the best together. The breeding mare should have time at neon to lie down a half hour and rest. She should have oats and bran for her food, and never bo heated before or after the foal comes. It does her good to stop a few minutes wnile the driver is taking care cf a stone or repairing the fence. VTe have known a farmer to do all of his spring's work with a pair of breeding mares, and raise two fine coits. He was never in a hurry, but his work was alnays well up. When the colts get to be 3 years old they may be put in a half day and "spell" the mare. Put the breeding mare In a box stall where she will be comfortable and the colt will be safe if sne chances to drop it in the night. If the hired man kicks the mare, kick him off the place. Such outrages have been practiced on the mares and the result was the los of the foal. Under all circumstances there should be gentleness. Uaavcrs Cutting Down Trees. Landing at various points on Ihe back, the rasp of their teeth, as they gnawed through the firs and alders, was soon succeeded by the crash of fall ing timbers, as the trees succumbed to their brisk attacks. And here was first manifest a lack of that human reason attributed to these animals by so many writers. Instead of always cutting the tree upon the lower side, so that It would fall toward the water, they at tacked it upon whichever side the shape of the ground or tke growth of the bushes around made it most convenient, and, as a consequence, the trees fell in all directions some up the hill, some down and seme across. The large majority,, It is true, fell down bill, and the reason was plainly apparent upon a daylight examination, as fully 90 per cent, of them on both sides of the valley (and the same state ment holds true of all those 'mountain gorges which we have seen) leaned in in that direction ; a fact probably true not only to the common vegetable instinct of reaching out toward light and an open, space, but also by the pressure, each succeeding spring, of the sliding snow upon the upper side. That "high witer mark of civilization," the division of labor, w ts seen here in full force, for while one eet of laborers confined themselves to felling the trees, another set lopped cH tLe branches and divided tho trunks into sections of the riht !-rtb.- Tier T;oldej Ilula Covers all duties to ourselves a3 will a.s to others, for we i cannot injuie outlives without iujury i ,.ii. ,.n l OtLttS. BTJzXD ST PB.EJt7DICi. Few rersocs realize how thoroughly th-T are controlled br prejudice even to their own disadvantage. For many years the treatment cf rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and headache has been by some outward application, and, therefore, with out stopping to think that the origin of these troubles mitsf, from necessity, be in ternal, the weary puflerer continues to rub, rub and find no relief. Ath lophoroe is taken internally, and as a proof that this is the correct principle, it cures surely and quick ly. The statement of those who have been cured ought ti convince the incredulous. C. F. Brnce, Metuchen, N. J., says : " My mother hvl the rheumatism in her heart, and awas cured by Athlophoros. She Bays there is co medicine like it." James W. F.ccd, 4533 Penn Atc., Pitts burgh, Pa-, says : My mother, although 77 years of age, was entirely cured by the use of Athlophoros." Mixs Carrie Patten, Eagle Village, N. Y., rays : " My mother was nearly a cripple ia her arms, not having been able to dress nor svarcfcly able to feed herself for three month;:, bein in severe pain most of the time. The acute pain ceased after taking three bottles of Athlophoros, but she con tinued to take it until all signs of rheuma tism were gone; having taken 27 bottles in all. She has not taken any since last May, and can use her arms as well as ever. A number of friends have taken it, and in every case it has pivon satisfaction. In case of sick headache, it gives almost immediate relief." John M. V.'olcott, Piffiinl, N. Y., says: " I Rctl bottle of Athlophoros for a friend.

The law approved May lO.h. 1k7, "providing for the paymeiit of costs, iu criminal case3 by the proper county," is likely to have important results, some satisfactory and others the re verse. The act stipulates "that the costs of prosecution accompanying every case of misdemeanor in any of the Courts of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of this Commonwealth hhall, ou tha termination of the prospcutlon by the bill of indictment being ignored by the grand jury, or by a verdict of a tra verse jury, and sentence of the court thereon, be immediately cbargable to and paid by the proper county : Pro vided, that the county shall be liable only for the costs of such witnesses as the District Attorney shall certifiy were subjxenaed by his order and were in at tendance and necessary to the trial of the case." Also, "that when the record in any criminal case shall have been removed by writ of certiorari or otherwisa to the Supreme Court for review, and shall tare been therein disposed of. the ne cessary expenses of the District Attor ney in connection therewith. Including a reasonable compensation for his ser vices, to be 2xed by the court in addi tion to the regular fee now allowed him by law for trying the case in the lower court, shall be paid by the proper coun ty ; and the cost of the officers, includ ing tbe costs of tbe Justice of the Peace and Constable, and all cases of wife de sertion and surety of the peace shall be be chargeable to and paid by the proper county as soon as the case is disposed of by the order of the court ; and it shall be the duty of the District Attorney and County Commissioners to use all due dilligence to collect the costs, in every case mentioned in this act, from the party made liable therefore by the sentence or order of the court, and to pay the same" into the county treasury." In all such cases, heretofor, the county has not been required to pay the costs decreed against either prosecutor or defendant, until one or other of the latter had paid the amount into the county treasury. Under the new rule, nowever, as above quoted, a very con siderable sum of money, in addition to the already large aggregate of expendi ture required for the purpose, must be paid out by the County Treasurer, and much of this outlay will likely never be made good to the county. But the Commissioners, who, with the District Attorney, are enjoined in the act "to use all due dilligence to collect the costs in every case mentioned in the act from the party or parties made liable there for," are not likely to sit quietly and see the county mulcted or rather swin died in such a manner. Ou the con trary, it is probable that they may pro ceed by capias against any and all pros ecutors or defendants who have been di rected by either the grand jury or court to pay costs, and moke them disgorge if they possess property, real or personal. from the sale of which said costs can be realized. While, therefore, the compelling of the county to pay the costs In the first place may, for a time, add to the deluge of cases sent up by the Justices and Al dermen that never should be sent up, the vigorous action of the Commission ers will be likely, in the loDg run, to make both prosecutors and defendants moro chary of "goiDg to court." When they know that, if the costs be decreed against thtm, the Commission ers will compell them to pay or Bell their property, of whatever character, to make the county whole in the transac tion, they will be disposed to seek some easier and cheaper method of settling their disputes. There is a law under which a jury of six may be empannelled by an alderman to try a certain class of petty cases. That law will, with the changes in tbe statute may prove a good thing. For a time it will bring profit to the Sheriff and Justices and witnesses, at big expense to the county, and much consequent worriment to the District Attorney and Commissioners, but ulti mately the profit is fairly likely to be for the litigants, in that it will impel them to be less frequently litigants. Sating Seed Corn. Tbe importanc of satintr seed coru by careful selection has been preached from time to time out of date, and repeated experiment has proven the necessity for care in tbe storing of the corn selected for Beed. In sections vhere abort sea sons prevail early varieties are desirable, Lence earlioess ought to be promoted even in sorts already early by selecting snch from stalks that first ripen their ears. The importance of choosing fair sized, well-developed ears, taken from stalks which bore at least two ears, ie apparent to everyone who has given the subject any thought. In the selection of seed corn too much care cannot be exercised in keeping a well-established and desirable variety pure. It should te borne iu mind that two sorts growing within a quarter of a mile of one another are liable to mix, hence lt is not wise to save seed from Bucb corn. There does not appear to be any safer, easier or better mode of saving corn for seed than tbe old time one of pulling back and braiding the husks of twenty or more ears together, and then hang ing these braided strands from the raft ers of a corn bouse, a smoke house, tbe attic or other dry place. The corn must be kept dry and out of tbe reach of rats and mice. It is a wise plan to select ODly tbe perfectly matured ears for eeed ; these dry moie quickly and are not so liable to mold. Not a few farmers al ways plan to bang their seed between the rafters of their smoke houses, be lieving that, in addition to the dry at mosphere there found, ibe smoke that, permeates the kernels acts as a preven tive to insect pests after tbe seed is ! planted.

A correspondent f Xalurt report that the elephants in Central Tiirk ar. often seen to cover their backs wit Dew-mown grass, taking it up by tbe trunkful and carefully thatching them, selves againBt the sun's rajs. And an other correspondent of tbe tiame journal sends the following statements, which render it necessary to revise the old pay. ing that man is the only animal uiat uses tools : " One evening, soon after my arrital in Eastern Assam, and while the flVe elephants were being fed opposite the bungalo, I observed a young and lately caught one step up to a bamboo fnce and quietly pull up one of the stakes' Placing it under his foot, it broke off a piece with its trunk, and. after lift ing it to its mouth, threw It away, it, re. peated this act twice or thrice, and. then drew another stake. Seeing nia the bamboo was old and dry, I akel i;e reason of this, and was told to wait aal see wbat the elephant would do. " At last it seemed to get a piece tLat suited him, and holding it in its trunk firmly, and stepping tbe left fore-leg well forward, it passed the piece rf bamboo under the armpit, so to speak and began to scratch with some force. " My surprise reached its climax when 1 saw a large elephant-leecti fal to the ground, quite six inches long, and thick as one's Cr.ger, and which from its position, could not be easHy de tatched without this scraper, v;hich was deliberately made by the elephant. I subsequently found that thii was a common occurrence. Such scrapers are used by every elephant daily. " On another occasion, when trare! ing at a time of the year when the large flies are so tormenting to aa ele phant, I noticed that the one I rode had no fan or wbisp to beat them off with. Tbe driver, at my order, slackened j.ce and allowed her logo to the side or the road, wLen for some moments she mov ed along, rummaging the pmaller jungle on tbe banks. At last she came to a cluster of yunng shoots well branclieJ, and after feeling among tbem and se lecting one, raised her trunk and neat ly stripped down the stem, taking off all the lower branches, aud leaving a fee bunch on top. She deliberately cleaned it down several times, and then layinc hold at the lower end broke off a beau tiful fan, or switch, about Gve feet locgr, handle included. With this she kept the flies at bay, flapping them off oa each side. "Say what we may, these are both really bona fide implements, each intel ligently made for a difinite purpose." Tickles. Tickled cucumbers are wholesome and palatable. I do not mean those purchased from the erocers, which are generally put up in England with man ufactured vinegar that ia slow poison, but grown, pickled and put up at home,' with home-made cider. Here is an ex cellent recipe wL'.ch quickly converts the cucumbers into crisp, appetizing pickles, not affected by season or cli mate. To each hundred of cucumbers, put a pint of salt, and pour on boilicg water sufficient to cover the whole. Cover them tight to rrevent the steam from escaping, and in this condition let them stand twenty-four hours. They are then to be taken out, and after be ing wiped erfectly dry, care being ta ken that the skin ia not broken, placed in the jar in which they are to be kept. Boiling vinegar if spice is to be used it should be boiled with the vinegar is then to be put to them, the jar closed tight, and in a fortnight delicious, Lard pickles are produced, as green as the day they were upon vines. To Examine a Horse. A good horse will always show well standing at rest. The man showing a borse for sale who keeps the animal constantly stepping about to show off, is to be looked upon with suspicion. Tbe best time to examine a horse is when he is at rest. It is then when bis weak points can be seen. If the horse 'flies up" at some object on the ground, nearsightedness may be suspected. If Irojght from a dark stable suddenly into the light, and the light oppress es him, bis eyes are weak. His gait and speed should both be tested by actual service. At rest, if the horse is sound, he will stand 6quare upon his limbs, vrithout moving any of them, the feet being placed fiat on the ground, and all his legs plump and naturally placed. If one foot be thrown forward, with toe pointing to the ground, and tbe heel raised, or if the foot be lifted from the ground, and the weight taken from it, disease or tenderness may Le expected.
