The strawberry, once confined to the
limits of the kitchen garden of the fru
gal and thrifty husbandman, ha$ of late
years' fallen a " now depart nrp," and
now is claused among the impoi t.uit
fluid cropa of many sections of conn
tr.y. It is spoken and written about in
tlio same way as cabbages, potatoes, or
turnips. Of course the culture of the
strawberry is not quite as general as the
crops named, but in a wide district of
.New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and
Virginia hundreds of aores are exolusire
ly devoted to its culture, and the success
or failure has a very marked tficct on
the year's labor of the farmers in these
districts. Not many years Ago a man
that was cultivating 1U acres or straw
berries would be known and talked of
all over the Btate as a wonder and curi
osity, but now hundreds cf growers, who
have three, four, and five times" as many
acres devoted to strawberry culture, are
hardly known outside of their own
township or county. Largo fields of
strawberries have become so common of
late years that they have ceased to be
novelties or rather horticultural curiosi
ties. Much less surprise is expressed
now in hearing of or seeing a fifty-acre
lot of strawberries than there would
have been a soore of years ago in hear
ing of five acres. 'A much more economi
cal method of cultiwition has become
general among strawberry growers than
was formerly practiced. ICitchen gar
den methods were carried on in field
culture for some time, but they gave
way to better methods, by which horse
labor was substituted to a great extent
in place of hand-labor, reducing the ex
pense, and by this means increasing the
profits. Leaving space between the
rows of from three to four feet soon be
came the rule among the more intelli
gent growers, and this was followed by
the system known as clean culture, or
what might be called constant culture.
This, like many other extreme measures
led to very discouraging results in many
instances tbat Came under my 0D3erva
tion, amounting to the loss of from one.
third to one-half of the crop. Some
grewera, not content with the frequent
disturbance ot tne suriAC.-sou, Dy norse
tools, from the time the plantB were set
out in the spring until late in the fall,
would again begin cultivation in the
spring, until tne plants were m blossom
This, of course would disturb and dis
place the surface roots of the plants, on
wnicn tne iruit was dependent, xne in
evitable consequence of sucbr a method
of culture would be a small crop of
small berries. This, in many cases,
brought about a reaction, and a rush for
the other extreme, with the cry that
" no culture and weeds was a better plan
than thorough culture.
Men with habits of close observation
soon found that to produce the largest
yield of berries, the clean culture was all
important tne hrst year, but no culuva.
tion or disturbing of the surface-soil be
tween the rows should be given in
the spring of the second year, or not un
til tne crop was gathered. Then was
the time to make preparation for a crop
ot fruit tor tne tollowing year,, by c
thorough surface disturbanj, reuiov-
ing all weeds a.ud grass t the same
time.
Strawberry-growers are y?quently
surprised and disappointed to find in
the tpring of the year, whjw the frost
leaves the grouud, that the "spools" are
badly injured by heaving, from the
eifects of alternate freezing and thaw
ing..
The worst effect from thia cause is
likely to happen from short warm spells,
in February or March, just enough to
thaw an inch or two of the sifi'face. The
expansion caused by this surface thaw
ing severs the roots, leaving the stools on
the surface without hold or support,
and, as a matter of course, such stools
will produce little or no fruit. On clay
ground even thorough drainage does
not always remedy this, especially if the
frost or cold weather -sets in 60on after a
heavy rain storm, while tho ground is
wet. One of the important matters then
to be attended to by btrawberry-growers
at this season of the year is to make
such preparations as to prevent the pos
sibility of the frequent alternate freez
ing and thawing. In sections of coun
try where snow falls early in December
uud remains on tho ground in a body
until th spring fairly opens, there is no
danger to be apprehended from surface
thawing. But in New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, the covering of
snow cannot be relied upon, and;artific
ial means must be resorted to for pro
tecting tho vines. The best possible way
to do this is to mulch tho beds with salt
hay, wheat, or ryo straw, and if none of
these are accessible then leaves gathered
from the woods will do instead. When
leaves are used then a sprinkling of soil
will be necessary to prevent the leaves
from blowing about. The mulching
material may be put on the beds at any
time from now until the middle of De
cember, or even later. It should be
tpread evenly, and in quantity just
enough to cover the vines. There is
nothing gained by putting on a very
heavy mulch. In garden culture a light
coating of horsa manure will answer an
excellent purpose. The manure is not
practical in field culture, from the fact
that the mulch is just as important in
the spring as in the winter..
In March or April men go over the beds
with wooden rakes, carefully drawiug
the hay or straw off from the vines to
ward the space between the rows, and
settling the hay under the leaves, to be
left there until the berries are gathered.
This summer mulch, in the first place,
keeps the ground uioist and surface
loose, preventing to some extent . the
growth of weeds, wkile at the same time,
the berries are kept clean and free from
fine sand, which is a very serious mat
ter with strawberry-growers who culti
vate their berries on sandy ground, with
out mulching. In fact, on light sandy
soil, summer mulching is ten times as
important as winter mulching.
Borax. Nevada furnishes the richest
borax deposits in the United States.
One company own deposits whUh cover
an area of twenty thousand acres. -This
is said by blacksmiths, wjjb nave triec
it, to be superior to the bgit English
borax. The crude mineral" consists of
borate oi nine, ana Dorate oi spaa, mixea
with sand, mud, carbon atte cf soda,
chloride of soda and magnesia. The
supposition is that warm springs of
bortu-io acid rise in those flats or lakes,
and that the acid uniting with the lime
of the country rock, or with the soda
formed in the flats, forms the borates.
At some points, a few feet below the sur
face, the water is quite hot. There are
also borax deposits in Lake County,
Cal., which yield a very good article.
The annual consumption of this useful
substance in the world, is estimated at
eleven thousand tons.

Ton Modest.
It is related of a Philadelphia girl,
who recently had a man and dog up be
fore the police court to answer to the
charge of assault and battery on tho
dog's part, that, whon asked what too
dog did, she said he bit her. When
aBked where, after considerable hesita
tion and blushing, she replied," On the
ltft drumstick." It is delicious to con
template such exceeding modesty. This
young lady is doubtless a lineal descend
ant t' the lady who culled on Dr. Aber
nethy, and when the doctor was about
to feci her pulse, she wrapped a hand
kerchief around her wrist, so that her
delicate modesty shouldn't be shocked
by contact of ilesh with a man's hand.
Dr. Abernethy, however, was competent
for the situation, lie at once wrapped
his hand in his coat-tail, and taking the
covered wrist, said that a linen rmlse
must have a woolen physician. They
had probably beard of the jealousy of
the Chinese of their physicians. When
any 06 their wives are indisposed they
fasten a silken thread around her wrist,
the cord of which is given to a physi
cian, and it is only by the motion which
the pulsation communicates to it that be

now engaged in erecting novel danger
signals at every bridge and tunnel on
the Hudson liiver Kiilroad, to warn
brakemen, who are compelled at times to
run along on the tops of trains, of their
near approach to such dangerous places.
A pole is erected by the side of the track,
and an arm projects from it at the top,
over the track. From this arm hangs a
wire fringe, low enough to strike a
brakeman on the front piece of the cap
or against the face if he is standing up
as the train passes. This perceptibly
notifies him that he is only one hun
dred feet from the bridge or tunnel,
and must lie down at once. The blow
iuflicted by the fringe is momentarily a
stinging one, but produces no evil re
