J	ekTBAWREIfKtES. ';f

, Jt is not generally, known among
farmers and; village residents that there
are 'male and female strawberry plants;,
and that the two sexes must groVir near:
each other, or the female [pistillate)
plants will produce very imperfect fruit
and very little of it. Onfe male (stami-
:nate) tow to four pistillates will suffice.
But^ when staminates only are 'grown
they'produce full crops of thiBmselves;
and most ot' our best straw berries are ot'
tlie iuale sex. .Thesei5tesmay.be known
on sight by the.blossoms—-the female
having a smaU, delix^ute fliower without
stamens; and the males a much larger
flower, covered, with iftamehs* It used
to be claimed that the, most productive
varieties, when fertilized by staminates,
were the pistillates; but my experience
contradicts that theory; but it is im-
portant. when one obtains new varie-
ties, to ascertain the sex, and set ac-
cordingly. The fertilizing °of the pis-
tillates is effected, bv bees and othei-
insects carryiug the pollen .of the male
flowers to,the female jllowers.

THE ACTION Oil PLASTEli.. . 1'

The action of plaster (gypsum) is in-
volved in a good deal of mystery. The
theory has been held by many Scientific
men that it merely attracts, and ab-
sorbs the ammonia in; the atmosphere.
Prof. Liebig, the noted German agri-
cultural chemist, held this view of its
action, but Whatever fts Virtues may be
it shows the best results when applied
upon the surface of tlie ground, and es-
pecially On; grass* giiounds» clover in
particular.. Thetquantity may |» 100
to 200 pounds per a<5re, applied. in the
spring, avoiding' sowiing any,)on low,
wet lipids. Plas^r is alsp a valuable
fertilizer when applied to coru immedi-
ately after the first hoeing, about half
of a tablespoonf ul to a hill.; An'exper-
iment was made on the Michigan. State
Agricultural fattn, showing the ^ Result
of sowing plaster on grass land, in com-
parison with other fertilizers, which
were applied one yefj,r only, and the
grass carefully .weighed the following
three seasons, with the following re?
suits: On the plat to which no manure
or fertilizer was applied,the total weight
ol hay yielcled per acre was 8,740 pounds.
Where two bushels df plaster per acre
were applied, the j tela per acre was
13,226 pounds, a gain ?of 4,484 pounds.
Where five bushels of wood ashes were
applied, the yield per acre was 12,007
pounds, a gain of 4,105 pounds.
Where twenty loads of horse manure
were laid on, the yield was 14,636
pounds, a gain of 6,224 pounds. From
this statement it appears that two bush-
els of plaster produced over two-thirds
as much increase as twenty loads of
horse manure, worth ten times as much
as the plaster cost.. Old pasture fields
can often be made to produce luxuriant
grasses by the use of plaster ; but all
lands are not equally benefited by its
application.	:	"

SOILING CROPS.

Why the growing of green crops, to
feed to stock in theirgreen state, should
be called "soiling,"! do not know; but
it is so called, and we will not disturb
the name. The most profitable soiling
crop for cows is corn, the sweet variety
being considered best by those who
Have grown it. When a man has a
smaUKrm, and is jshort of gqod pas-
turage, it is decidedly the cheapest way
to soil his cows for# few months. He
can commence on oats soiyn very early,
then feed clover, and fintsh.on corn
sown at different tjmes, so that the last
crop will be cut as late as the season
will admit.. Cows tteifc are soiled should,
have a yard to e±6itj!se in : and theirs
manure should be gathered daily rand
placed where it will be.|presefcved.
Probably tiie! extarai manure saved will
pay for cutting the feed and attending
to the cows. Corn knay be .sown broadj
castf t^ro bushels tci the acre, orrnar®
about vfthii" * "	"T" "

Sr^m^yltedhelMM
where one has, not sufficient! pasture
lands. At a convention of dairyman at
IJtica, ST. Y., a ihelnbet said :-"I soiled
a pure-bred Jer&eV cow last season
The basis of the food eifiWoyed4 was
irrass and gtarn. She wasnvell fed^ but
not over-fed, and- all surplus food, was
removed from theihangez* leaving none
to sour#- My conclusions were that, _ by
having comfortable stables, and giving
tJie animals good: feed and care, the
product of cows by soiling could be in-
creased 33 per cent."

OLD ORCHARDS

In many places old orchards exist
which bear but little fruit, and very
poor hi Quality- Many of the trees,
perhaps,V S-P® oe
cumber the ground

ripens. Sow from the last week) in May
to June 10th, at. the rate of half a buBhel
of seed to the acre, and it will be ready
to cat in August. Sometimes three or
four tons of hay are groym per acre;
and it never injures stock if cut when
the seed just assumes its full form. > It
may be sown earlier, but it requires
quick; vegetation to grow up ahead of
Wild grasses and weeds, which early.
soWing does not always effect'. ' • ' M ;

Don't leave : yoiir grape vines un-
trained to their trellises xil]fttheir buds
are grown, so &s to be liable to be bro-
ken off ih tying them uj), and avoid
priming them after the sap flows freely.
Prunibg should always be dt>ne in the
fall. There is no bettef fway to train
gwipe vines than the fan shape systenqi,
with the canes extended like the ribs ojf
gin open fan. Stakes are not suitable
,cor garden vines, nor for vineyard cul-
ture, only when one can not go to the
expense of a-trellis. Some,of oijr thrifty
grdw|ng varied5 -1 '

wooden' bars,' aboht eighteen inches
apart, starting eighteen inches from thee
ground, should be used, but the wires,
even of large' size, are> cheaper than
wood, where clear pine, well dressed, is
used. Posts for trellises should be
Sawed on a bevel, with the parts that
go into the ground larger than the tops
of them. iiTever purchase old vines,
as they never recover their natural
vigot. Vines two years old are the
best. The Concord is the surest to,
grow and give satisfaction in all locali-
ties, except in some Very cold climate,,

it is not as good a grape as the'Concord..

i^AT.T FOR ANIMALS.

That salt, is' beneficial to cattle and
horses, ^en given to them occasionally,,,
can not be doubted. It is so decided by
our most scientific veterinary surgeons;
and it has been given to sheep and cows
for. centuries^ as they seem to crave it
at times; therefore, let no good farmer
abandon the custom. , ?

TO KEEP SWINE HEALTH V.

Give hogs plenty of pure water to
drink, and keep * within their reach
equal parts of wood ashes, common ^alt
and flour of sulphur, and you need not
fear hog chbler^„.nor ,auyvothcr disease.

BUTTER ANtD CHEESE.

Elein Board of Trade.

Tlie meeting Qf . the board of trade
was largely attended by Chisago and
other buyers on Tuesday. The number
of factorymeapresent was quite large.

Since the ldst meeting of the board
cheese has declined lc. Cheese was mf
demand, however, and the faetorymen
present closed out their stock on hand,
with few exceptions.

The supply of milk is increasing, and
by the first of May the factories will-
begin making full-cream cheese, and by
that time, too, the skim cheese will be
as scarce full-cream cheese has been
during the winter months.

~The total ftumbfer boxes of cheese,reg-
ular ahd irregular, reported sold, reach-
ed 4,070, arid will go far toward relieving
the factories of surplus stock, and indi-
cates that factorymen are not willing
to hold their skim cheese until the sum-
mer factories are ready for the market
with their products. The butter sales,
regular and irregular, reached 42,800
pounds.

The board will hereafter hold regular
weekly sessions, and on Tuesday next
the annual election of officers will be
held.

The following are the transactions of
the day, as reported to the secretary :

Rufus Blanchard, of Chicago, writes
from this city to the Chicago Journal,
as follows:

Up ttie Fox river we roll between the
two graduating banks which fringe the
stream on both sides, till Elgin is
reached. In all country towns of high
pretensions, there are certain things
that are the special pride of the place.
Elgin has plenty of Nature's gifts, .be-
sides the institutions of her handiwork,
for which she can claim prominence.
These have been written up till every
one is familiar with them, and I do not
propose to inflict upon your readers a
column of sub-rosa advertisements for
speckled trout, faultless i butter, niilk
that will stand the test of the lactom-
eter, or watches made by the cunning
fingers bf the Elgin girls and. boys,
lieaving these jdded subjects to the dis-
play columns of the newspapers, let us
lift the drop-chrtain of religion and

morals and-teke ajpeep. ,;__
