It must be understood by your readers that I am only giving my manner of doing this, after years of exierimonting and study, during which I have gained the of a successful berry grower, writes G. W. Williams in the Journal af Agriculture. 1 have learned much mure by the failures 1 have made than by the success obtained. If any one launches out into the berry business thinking he has the full assurance that he is not going to make any failures he will be sadly disappointed, for we frequently meet with failures under the most flattering prospects and card After years of experience and association with them, studying thoir habits and investigating their peculiarities, we gain a knowledge that we may, with a reasonable degree of assurance, expect a cropi We must get varieties suitable to our soil, or by artificial means make the soil, as near as possible, suitable to the variety, and get them at the proper time. I prefer to set just before the bloom bud opens, always pinching it out clear back to the leaf bud. If the bloom Is left on, the plant will almost exhaust itself trying to produce the berry, and whon the berry has ripenad which it may do in an imperfect manner the plant will be very puny and will taka the best part of the season to regain lost vitality. After having set in rows four feet apart and about two feet for an average in tho row, if tha ground is nearly level and not inclined to drain well I run one furrow with a single shovel plow in center between tha rows; this draws the excess of water from the planta I cultivate about the same as any other hoed cropi As soon as the grass and weeds begin to appear, or before, if there has been no hard rains to pack the soil, I go twice barrow. in a row with a This can bo made by any farmer at mall expense who haa a dozen old harrow teeth.

Of course you can make your clipper any size desired. Let me repeat, that where land is not so much of an object, the hill system gives more berries and larger berries for the amount of labor bestowed than under the matted row system, but if room Is limited, the latter system will yield most for the amount of room occupied. Never allow the plants to form a solid mat all over the ground. Hilling rouiiiM. The question has recently come np relative to the propriety of hilling potatoes during the early period of their growth, and time European writers have recommended the practice, stating as a reason that It protects the tubers from the sun's rays as in their growth they are crowded There is do upwarda doubt that hilling will protect them from the sunlight when the planting Is quite shallow, so that the forming tubers must necessarily have a thin layer of earth above them. But if they are planted deep enough, or four or fivo inches, in deep, mallow soil, this practice in not necessary, and the new potatoes will be formed deep enough to be out of the reach of the sun's rays. In the experiments which we have made in past years, with a depth of only three inches in one portion of the field and five inches in another, and in a deep, well pulverized toll, the crop in the deep planted part was between ten and twenty per cent greater than tha shallow portion. Other planters within our knowledge have made similar trials, with like results For tha Cabbago Worm. A. S. Fuller's remedy for the cabbage worm ia spraying the planta with coal tar water of the right strength, and prepared in the following manner: About two quarts of coal tar are put in an open vessel, which is then set In the bottom of a barrel, and the barrel ia then filled with water. In two or three days the water becomes impregnated with the peculiar odor of tha tar. The water ia then sprayed or sprinkled abundantly with a watering pot over the cabbage', and it penetrates every part, the odor driving away or destroying the worms. The water evaporates and carries away the odor of the tar from the cabbages. The same tar may be successively used. It is said to be quite efficient. Farm Kates.

Somnambulist is the common term applied to a person who walks while Somnambulists are of three kinds, those who are in ordinary health, those who are sick, and those in whom the somnambulatory acts ' ire produced by artificial means.

The queerest part of U all Is that, as a rule, on awakening they have no recollection of what they did while asleep. Talking when asleep is a mild form of it Somnambulism is nothing but an acted dream. Every one knows how vague their recollections of their dreams usually are except at the moment of waking up, at which time the person sometimes has some difficulty in disentangling himself from his dream and realizing who and where be really ia The following is a concise description of what a somnambulist may da n docIt was quoted by a tor from a work by tha celebrated Dr. Herbert Mayo: The person walks, rides, climbs, with the eyes shut or insensible; his movements are precise, cautious, leading him into positions of difficulty and peril, which, if perfectly alive to their real nature, or if acting under ordinary motives, he would avoid: and yet there appears to be a partial consciousness of surrounding objects and an adaptation to circumstances. Individuals have, while in this state, performed long journeys on foot or horseback, paying tolls, avoiding obstacles; they have successfully descended into coal mines: they have ascended in safety to the roofs of houses, have climbed rocky stiffs, and successfully robbed eagles' nests during the night Millers, saddlers, grooms, seamstresses, have all performed thoir customary work with perfect exactitude, but without any recollection of their exertions or Industry. Notwithstanding the accuracy with which many acts are performed, that particular senses may be dormant is proved by insensibility to loud noises, and by a cook eating cabbage which had been substituted for a salad which he bad carefully and artistically prepared. The senses, in relation to tho idea or train of ideas present to the mind, appear to be awake, and are prater naturally acuta This fact has suggested that certain faculties are wakeful, open to impressions, and actuated by volition, while others, and the mind in goperal, are plunged In profound sleep and unconsciousness. This may be true, and is in harmony with the opinion that the phenomena arc an acted dream or delusion, and that what is scon, heard or done is tha more embodiment or repetition of former impressions or impulses at the time before the mind." A celebrated case ia that, told by the archbishop of Bordeaux: He watched a student compose a sermon and write out a piece of musio while asleep, read them over, make corrections, scratch out lines, substitute others, and put in its plaoe a word that had been omitted. The archbishop interposed a sheet of white cardboard between the student's eyes and the paper upon which he waa writing. This made no difference; he went right on with his work, thus showing that he was copying mental images, and not thoue of the eve. A story is told by many doctors of a case that was once famous, says the New York Journal. A girl aged fourteen, of no more than ordinary intelligence, and with only a poor education, became languid, listless and pale, and complained of pains in her sides and forehead.
