Some growers of this plant claim that the month of August is preferable to a later period, for the reason that the plants acquire a greater growth and are beuer rooted ihan when planted iu Sep tember and October. That is true ; but there is this disadvantage in early plant ing:, the weather is generally so warm and dry that many of the plants are liable to die if not frequently watered, which with arere plats is quite troublesome, and in field culture quite quite impossible. I have succeeded in the culture of straw berries by setting the plants the first week n October, but it is not safe generally to wait till that time, and I recommend any time from August 15th to September 15. From considerable experience m grow ng strawberries, and from extensive read ug of the writings of those engaged in the bnsiness, both for family use and mar- et consumption, I am fully convinced that the cheapest and easiest way to pro duce good crops is by adopting the row system instead of hills. However, some varieties of plants produce larger fruit on the hill system; but there are kinds that are very prolific bearers in rows, or when then ground is covered . with a compact mass of plants. Wilson's seedling will bear enormous crops in this condition. even where the plants are so close that not a particle of earth can be seen. Where the plants are grown in beds or ry ws on this system the ground is so. shad ed by the foliage of the plants, that they withstand a drouth much better than when grown in hills. The usual distance tnat rows of straw- bery piantr are set opart dependr on the size of the plot in some measure. Far garden culture two or two and a half feet will do very well, but for field culture they should not be Ies3 than three to four feet apart. In the garden the plants may be allowed to spread in the rows on each side so as to leave merely a path wide enough to walk in to pick the fruit. In field culture the runners may spread and fill up the entire ground, but as soon as the fruiting season is past a plow should be run through the vines, cutting up the plants in strips from three to four feet wide, leaving rows or tne largest growtn of plants to restock the land for the next season's fruit. Old beds of strawberries ihat have grown into a thick mass of plants should be thinned out with a hoe as soon as the fruit picking season is past, so as to leave the plants standing about a foot apart. If this has been neglected, the sooner it is now done the better, or the growth uf next season will be slender, and but little fruit will be produced. . : Two years is as long as it ; is advisable to crop the same plants; and in order to grow this fruit with the best success means must be taken every season for a supply of new plants. On the row or bed sys tem this is effected by cutting out a large portion of the old vines as , soon as the fruit is gone, and allowing the runners from those left to replace those cut out. It is generally understood, I presume, that strawberry plants are of the two sexes, male and female, or stnminate and pistilate. The staminates (males) should always accompany the pistilate r, , ratio of one row of male to threa cr four of the female plants.. Stamina: i are self fructifiers, and maybe grown :cp rate from the pistilates, where it isd:sir able to do so,- but'no pistilate, according to the theory now generally acknowledged can produce its maximum of. fruit unless it be grown in the close vicinity of a stamtnate variety. Where the ground is generally covered with snow during the winter I do not consider it Important to cover the vines as a winter protection. I never cover mine, having many large beds, covering about half an acre, and my plants are seldom injured by frosts, But plants set in the fall are liable to heave out of the ground in the early spring, and it is there fore advisable to plant them early enough to become well rooted, and in the spring to press those into the earth that have been thrown out by the frost. When plants are covered for a winter protection, something should be first laid down among them to raise the covering an inch or two from the ground, iu order to allow the air to circulate under the covering, or the plants will be liable to be smothered. Any coarse litter, such as barnyards afford, is suitable to cover the plants, but always in a manner to afford some air among them. T. B. Mineh, in the Country Gentleman. Plater, Ashes' and Experiment A late number of the Boston Cultiva tor furnishes the following statement and suggestions; and such experiments would be doubtless of much value if carried out, remembering that no single experiment is sufficient to form a conclusion, but they must be several times repeated, under all varying circumstances: Mr. E. L. 31etcalt of franklin, in forms us that a mixture of plaster and unleached hard-wood ashes, in about equal parts, made a little moist, and kept in a heap protected from rain, from four to six weeks, and then apply to crops, will generally produce a highly beneficial ef fect, even where plaster alone would pro duce no effect at all, and in all oases the benefit is creatlv increased over that of pure plaster. Applications of this com pound, and of plaster and askes by them selves, and of guano, superphosphate of lime, &c, might be made by sowing breadths across fields, leaving spaces be tween without anything. The result would afford an indication of the compara tive value of the different substances, and might show whether any of them could be profitably used for this purpose. Ringbone Curable. Dr. R. Thompson writes to the Ohio Farmer, that to cure the semi-osseous de posit, called rinebone, the animal must be thrown and well secured ; with a strong scalpel make a crucial incision over the highest part of the tumor. Having dis sected the four angles of the skin, back to a line corresponding with the base cf the tumor, ezpose the entire surface of the morbid mass to view. The next step in the operation is the removal of the un natural growth by the appropriate use of a carpenter's three-fourths or inch gouge; either manipulated with the hand alone, or assisted by the gentle use of a light mallet. With a proper knowledge of the parts involved in the operation and due care, there need be no iears of opening the articular capsule. Leaving the sur face of the bone as smooth as possible the angles of the skin are brought firmly together by means of a strong needle and cord the size of a slender fishing line. A few slips of adhesive plaster will add much to the security of the dressing, and consequently to the more speedy healing of the wound. To these ends, also, the quietude of the horse will contribute greatly. Over this a few turns of ban dage may be thrown and grmly secured. Should the parts become swollen, tepid water and whiskey may be freely applied by pouring every eight or ten hours, until the swelling subsides. Whether there is anything new in this I do not pretend to say; but this I do know, that by this safe and simple operation I faw a horse cured of the "ringbone" within the space-of two weeks, where previous to the operation he could scarcely mark the ground with the tip of the hoof, so great was his suffering. Advantage or Crossing with Good Bulls. It would no doubt be interesting to far mers to read a lengthy article on this sub ject, but as they want nothing but "war news" at the present time, I will simply give a few "leading thoughts, for their present consideration. Now in crossing one animal with an other, sometimes when they are both good ones, they beget a most miserable progeny and sometimes they get a progeny that is far ?uperior to either he dam or the sire. This is called breeding back, that is, they inherit the points, characteristics, virtues, or vices -cf some one of their great progenitors. We have practical il ustrations of this fact very often in the human family. It sometimei occurs that a bull which is not a most perfect animal, even when crossed with a common cow, will get a calf that appears to have "bred back," so far that his points of excellence far exceed those of his sire cr grand-sire. Now then, if such an animal will trans mit his good points to his progeny, with almost unerring certainty, he will prove to be a most excellent animal to breed from. A bit cf personal experience in this matter will explain this subject more satisfactorily, perhaps, than many elabor ate paragraphs, not entirely practical. A few years since, a neighbor cf mine had a very nice bull calf, which ha invited me to look at. I knew the. dam of the calf to be quite an ordinary cow of native breed, and the sire less than half Dur ham, and by no means excellent even at th?.t rr ue. I perceived at a glance that the had inherited mora excellent points than either his sire or dam ever possessed, and I immediately purchased him. While I owned him, and even now, he transmits to his progeny more of the genuine characteristics of a thorough-bred animal, and with more unerring certain ty than any thorough-bred bull I have ever known. These are some of the advantages of crossing cows 'of the native breed with bulls of improved breeds; and while we cannot reasonably expect to make a very great improvement in a herd of cattle in only one season, still there can be but lit tle risk in experimenting a little in this direction. The stock produced by cross ing a first rate bull with good cows is al most always far better than the cows, par ticularly for making beef, and usually they are better milkers, although it is not always so, for I have seen and owned cow3 of the native breed that could not be surpassed for giving milk.

D Ke.ndale, in the Southern Fisld. Large Beef Cattle. Three head of very large beef cattle, raised in Oregon, were brought into Port land a few days before Christmas. The Oregon Farmer says of them: "Their respective weights were, 2.504, 2,462. The two heaviest were 7 years eld, raised by Mr. Greentury Smith, of Benton Co. The other five years old, by Mr, Thomas Cross, cr Marion county. Mr. Cross states that the steer raised by him was procured, when a calf, from Mr. James Watson, of Benton county, and that with another year's growth could have been made to weigh much heavier, as he had been fed on gram but a short time. These beeves, when dressea, and hung in the stalls of the Empire Market, surrounded with other beef, pork, mutton, poultry, &c. made ihe finest display of meats we have ever seen. The proprietors informed us that S1500 would not be an over-estimate of its value. Wines Should be made Without Sugar. Dr. Flagg of Cincinnati, well known for his connection with Nicholas Long- worth in the extensive production of Na tive Wines, contributes for the Country Gentleman, the following protest against recipes for sugared wines : It is not by masking up sour, wild, un ripe grapes with water, sugar and whisky, that our farmers are to become wine growers, however well the mixture may please the palates of unsophisticated wo men and children, and hard-working men, whose olfaotories never knew any other wine than Madeira of Amertcan manu facture. Tell them that good wiue is never made of sugar in any part of the world, and that to weaken with water or strengthen with spirits is downright wickedness! The grapes must be fully ripe, dropping off ripe, and to render them so, the vines must grow on stakes cr very low trellises. The expressed juice must then be put into clean "wine green" casks and cared for very much in the same way good cider is managed. Thi3 done faith fully, and the product will be wine that will not ferment over again m the stomach deranging the livers and muddling the brains. All tricks of adulteration and debase ment our people will take to naturally enough by mere virtue of their national ity, and without being told. After they shall have learned how to made good, pure wine, then they may, for home use, make a cheap beverage in the following way. Into a large cask fling the cheese from the wine press, after all the juice is extracted, or elae well mashed wild grapes of good flavor, till the cask ia half or two-thirds full; then fill up with water and add one pound of sugar to the gallon of water; let the fermentation begin and complete its work in the cask, and then draw off the clear wine and put away in as cold a cellar as you have, and keep it well filled and closed up.

Happeuing to imagine that there nay be a great many ladies and gentlemen among your readers, possibly yourself among the number, who may chance to love another really excellent dish, than my husband's or their own "green peas and roast lamb," I attempt the descrip tion of one, which as prepared by myself, is as delicious a one as ever grrced any dinner table. It is a favorite dih among the tetter class in Mexicj, New Granada, Brazil and Peru, though rarely, I think, eaten in North America. , The Spaniards call it Qiiuta; its chief component parts are gre-en corn and ripe toiaatoes. I give you my process, aul the materials used in preparing the dish, and rather than you should from an unskillful imitation pronounce it a failure. I shall be tempt ed to pay your cuisine a visit, and com pound the dish myself, when I should be certain of yur suffrage in its favor.

I mean the human beings if such there should be) who think highly of you, who imagine yoi very clever ancT very amiable. Keep out out of the way' of such! Let them see as little of ycu as possible. For when they come to" know you well, they are quite sure to be disenchanted. The enthusiastic ideal', which young people form of any one the . admire, is smashed by the rude presenc- of facts. I have got somewhat beyon tha stage of feeling enthusiastic admira tion, yet there are two or three lirint men whom I should be sorry to see, I know I should dever admire them so much anymore.
