Show Aloof !7ew York station recommends aa fertilizers for the strawberry for nitrogen, 15,i to 300 pounds nitrate of ,6oda, appiie-- during the growing sea- son, or 125 to 230 pounds of sulphate of ammonia, or 230 to 5o0 pounds dried blood. For phosphoric acid 530 to 1,100 pounds of bone meal, or 375 to 75'' pounds dissolved bone, or 450 to 900 pounds dissolved rock. For potash, 140 to 280 pounds muriate, or same of sulphate, or 530 to 1,100 pounds kalnlt, or 1,400 to 2,800 pounds wood ashes. In setting the plants, the crown should be on a level with the soil, no higher and no lower. The roots should not be allowed to get dry. Dip them in water as soon as they begin to get dry. Trim the roots back at least and spread them when setting, filling in gradually and firm well. Some prefer the hill culture for small gardens, setting the plants in rows three feet apart, and one foot apart in the row, and not allowing them to blossom or put out runners the first season. This makes fine large plants, hut those who grow for market think it requires too much time to keep off the runners. They like better the narrow or ones, the rows being three to four feet apart and the plants fifteen to eighteen inches apart, and the runners being allowed to fill the space between. If the row is left at one foot wide it is termed the narrow row and at two feet wide a wide row. Runners must be cut to keep them within bounds, and they will probably need to have the runners thinned out in many places. Some varieties have thi fruit so small after the first crop that they are scarcely worth retaining after they have borne once. Others make but few runners, and may be allowed to fruit for two or three seasons. In this case, after the crop has been pick-.emow off the tops of the plants and burn them, to destroy weeds, insects, rust and the old mulch on the ground. The mulch may be coarse manure, cheap hay, straw, pine needles or pine boughs, or leaves, if there is something to hold them in place. Avoid using a mulch likely to contain weed seeds, and put it on when the ground is frozen so hard as to bear up the horse and wagon. One row in four should consist of plants having perfect or staminate blossoms. one-thir- d, fan-snap- wide-matt- ed d, A Good Eggr To the Report.

Ex. Your Own Milk Food for Calves How many persons know that no bird that flies, save one, feeds its young on anything but flesh food. There is only one bird that I know of that does not feed Its young on insect food, even our own sparrow, which has the power to partly digest grain in their crops and give it to their young. The young calf must have food that its delicate stomach can digest, and it isnt ground feed; it is flesh in a sense, because it is milk. He has not a good digestive stomach at that aga.
