';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'.

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.

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,, of any grape that now * exists.

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. , ?

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.

Kevival in Elgin. 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. ,;__ What is that melody borne along the twilight breeze, jthrough .the streets, filling, ita way into thOiP^ate parlor and hotel sitting-room.? ■a ^us^ff^e oFWessment; but frointhedtreets, especially at the tran- quil hour of evening, its religious effect l^abfted.
