A New Wny 1 OinwtiiB StruwburrlrH.
Tuere U no doubt but that, in many parts of
the country the "lull or "slool plan is a tail
lire because ot hard winter. Fruit is much
larger and liner givwn by the ".stool" system
(thai is keeping ine runners dipped oil J, and
the reasons for this are thai the ground gets
better cultivated, and the plants, being worked
on all sides, make a luxuriant growth anil
bear in proportion. Now, if Me can adopt
some plan by which the soil can be belter
Mined all around the plant, we know line
fruit will be attained. Therefore we propose
what we style the "matted hill system," which
is as follows: Prepare the grouud well, mark
it three or three and one-half feel each way, as
for corn, and at cadi crossing ot marker set it
strawberry plant (or, if you have plenty of
them, two in each place will be safer and bet
ter). Keep the cultivator running both ways,
and iptite often, as plants commence to run
freely; and by doing this, and when cleaning
the lulls bv hand, drawing stray plants and
covering vwili earili. a mailed lull will soon
be found one and one-half to two feet across.
AVe have noticed thai wiu-ii there were vacan
cies in matted rows, and ciur.ips of plants here
and there, the truit was much liner ihan where
the mailed rows if plants were continuous.
Knots of strawberry plants run much further
than one would suppoM-.aiid where the ground
is tilled with tluui the hnest is not so tine as
when thep can have more room. We advise
the trying of this plan by those who have
plenty of land and horse help. After they arc
through bearing, a small plow with a sharp
knife or wheel, can be run through both ways,
and hills plowed down closely, ground leveled
oil', and cultivator and hoe run through as be
fore. Fruit liaordu:

The ever-blooming roses are best for house
culture in pots because they bloom quicker
and more continuously than any of the others,
and besides this, their style and habit of growth
is more bushy and better adapted to the pur
pose. They can be kept nicely with other
growing plants, and w ith proper attention to
their re(Uirements will bloom freely. (1) Do
not lis too large pots if possible, nut more
than three or four inches. The rule is, one
size larger than the plants have been grown in.
The smaller the pot provided, of course, it is
large enough to contain the plant the (juick
cr and stronger the plant will start. It is very
dillicult to get a small plant to live and grow
in a large pot A rose will not bloom much
till the pot is well filled with roots; therefore,
small pots facilitate quick bloom. It the pots
are old, they should first be thoroughly w ashed ;
if new, they should be soaked in water, other
wise they will absor") the moisture from the
plain. ('?) Have good rich soil mellow and
friable. That made from old decomposed sods
is best. If manure is Used, it should be old
and thoroughly composted; Iresh manure is
injurious. '(:!)' I'm some bits ot broken crock
ery, charcoal, or other similar material, in the
bottom of each pot to lacilitate drainage, then
enough tine earth to raise the plant to a proper
height. It should not be much deeper than it
was before. Next put in the plant and spread
out its roots as near ther naiural position as
possible; then till in tine earth and press fu in
ly uown with the hand. When done, the pot
should not be quite full ; a little space is need
cd for water. (4) When lirst potted, water
thoroughly, ami if the sun is strong, shade for
a few days; then give full light and air.
Though the plant should not Ik; allowed to
wither for want of water, the earth should get
moderately dry before watering again. Too
much water is "worse than not enough. Very
little water is needed until the plant starts to
grow. Uttitlf to li'ixr Vulture.
TlIK OlIHilNAL OF THF. CLLTIVATKIi POTA
TO. A potato plant (Sttlttiitim Ftittlltri) grow
ing in great abundance in nor' hern New Mexi
co is supposed to be the original of our culti
vated potato. This native plant forms one of
the chief articles of diet of the Navajo Indians.
The squaws dig up the small tubers with w hat
ever implements they can obtain, often using
a strong, smooth piece of wood w ith a wedge
shaped" end. The plant grows on low, rich
spots, and by spring the earth is turned up in
every conceivable direction in the search for
the potatoes. The latter are from one-half to
three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and of
rood tlavor tastinir somewhat like boiled
chestnuts. The Navajo Indians consume such
large quantities at a time as to cause griping
pains, and as a remedy take ut the same meal
a quantity of earthly matter containing mag
nesia, which relieves the stomach. Some vears
ago a quantity of the tubers of Ibis species of
iMtato were received and distributed by the
department of Agriculture. Reports "from
various localities stated that, in many cases,
these improved under cultivation, and in
creased largely in size. 'ientijic Aim riruu.
Esolaxd's Food Sltply. The agricultur
al returns of Great Britain show a small in
crease in wheat and barley, and a decrease in
otits. The acreage of wheat has increased 50,
00". Estimating Ireland at a slight increase,
thf total acrcaee of wheat in the t'nitrd King
dom is 3,400,000. The new crop is fully up to
the average, and better than for some years. It
will yield llWO.OOO quarters, leaving 13.000,.
000 quarters to be drawn from abroad. The
French wheat crop is lieheved to be below the
average, and the French will 1 buyers instead
of sellers. The present prices will probably
be maintained.orpcrhaps be slightly increased,
but there w ill be no scarcity. The jmtatocrop
will be about the same as" last year. Young
cattle have increased 40,500 and lambs 263,000.
The rnciltc Wht Cmp.
The surplus of California wheat available
for exportation is estimated for this year at
050,000 to 750,000 tons. The exportable sur-
'ius of Oregon is about 100.000 tons. The
uropean demand for this grain will ! good,
and a beneficial activity will result in the busi
ness of sailing vessels plying between San
Francisco and Europe. Sailing vessels have
had too little to do all the world over of recent
years, and the employment of .VK) sailing ves
sels in carrying this year's C alifornia wheat to
market will vary this dullness agreeably.
IJots, says the Canada Fmiwr, cannot be
killed in the stomach of a horse. The best
thing to do to prevent their getting there is to
taim otTfhe long hairs from the shoulder, fore
lec. jaws, and breast, on which the bot-tiv de
posits her eggs, smear the points with, oil, to
prevent their adhering. This should lie done
in summer and atitumr. when the bot-flies are
around in winged form. It is a good plan to
scrub off the Lot-fly eggs with sap daily.
Cabba lias a superior value for feeding
Durooses. Lnsrhsli cattle feeders assert that
their Leasts progress fater on cabbage, mixed
with nlentv of fine cut wheat straw and cotton
cake, than with any othr vegetable. Cabbage
contains one part flesh-forming substance to
turee ot Ileal prouuonp, uue iu iMjutKR-s uic
flesh forming is only one to twenty. Cabbage
ia alo rich in mineral matter.
From Texas.
Texas, Sept. 2, 1878.
A serious drouth still prevails here, much to
the discomfort of the traveling public, who
are compelled to bieathe dust on every hand.
The cotton crop has been cut short at least
three-fourths, with very little advance in prices
over last year. The dry weather favors the
gathering very much, and the crop will be put
on the market one month sooner than ever
known before.
(Quarantine and a thorough reform in clean
liness seems to be the leading topic of most
Texan cities just now, especially where they
are directly connected with'the fever district.
Texan cities have thus far escaped the terrible
scourge, tint the memory oi iPOt ami vni
burns vividly in the minds of many of our
c itizens. 1 lie type ol the present is the most
malignant and ungovernable ever before
known.
Greenbackers, with their Hat money policy
are creating no little stir throughout the coun
try. Their state convention, which convened
at Waco a few days after the Austin conven
tion adjourned, was rather a mixed affair, the
worst of which was that of- the negro element
trying to bring a nominee of their own race
ami color. Hut in this Sambo was too weak
and had to succumb to the artful demagogue
who assured him of their fidelity to the col
ored brethren. Gen. Hainan ot Calvert was
nominated for Governor, and Gen. Ruins of
IvauH'inan for Lieut. Governor. Upon the
whole th convention was a moiley crew.com
K)sed mainly of old political aspirants and
free negroes. The new noin iuees have already
entered the field pretty sanguine of success in
the November election. Chief Justice Hub
erts has resigned li is ofHce and will enter the
contest immediately. It ia thought by many
that the race will be a close one. Since Green
backisin has grown to be a stern reality in
stead of an idle tale, Ex-Governor Throckmor
ton and Governor Hubbard will canvass the
state in his behalf. II. Q. Mills, congressman
from this district was unanimously nominated
for re election, at Kryan. Mr. Mills was the
only member from Texas that opposed the
electoral commission, and has ever since
gained the confidence of his constituents.
The brorder troubles along the Hio Grande
seem more quiet than usual, but the cessation
is only for a short period, when it will break
forth with renewed energy. If the truth were
known in those border troubles, Texans would
be to blame as much as Mexicans, for the
game played is one of never failing retalia
tion. LlTTI.K Ikxax.

JSuooklyk, LaSallf. Co., Sept. 5.
Not much news this week; everybody mind
ing his own business. Plowing progressing
slowly; threshing begun lively, and machines
going in every direction; wheat yielding from
10 to IS bushels per acre.
Mr. John Goinmes returned from Kansas
last week. He likes it so well that he wishes
to sell his crop and go to the land flowing with
milk and honey immediately.
Mr. John Foulk has taken some of his
choice colts to the fair at Princeton.

Munr. Eth'tr. During the past eight
weeks our little city, located here on the Am
braw, has been alive, as it were, with teachers,
teachers not only from our county of Jasper,
but also teachers from Richland, Clay, Cum
berland and Crawford counties, attending our
Normal school, which has been so successful
ly contlucted by Prof. Arnold, assisted by Prof.
Arthur Marshal of tliis county. Mr. Arnold
is a graduate of McKendrce College, and a
student of the Illinois Wcslcyan college and
the State Normal, and, although a young mail,
is an exceedingly ripe scholar and a most in
defatigable worker, and I am confident when
I say that he has done more during the three
years he has been with us to advance and
awaken an interest in education in our coun
try than was ever before accomplished that I
but speak the truth. Prof. Marshall, a stu
dent of the State Normal is also an able teach
er. A very interesting and instructive feature
of the term were a series of lectures delivered
at the Court House by Prof. Edwards, of Mc-
Kendree College, Owen Scott, Superintendent
of Effingham county, and State Superinten
dent, S. M. Etter, all of which were largely at
tended and listened to with attention and let
us hope great profit. Jasper has been iu the
backwoods for many years, but we feel proud
of J. F. Arnold and confident that he will pilot?
us out in time. Mr. litter on Friday evening,
Aug. 30th, at the close of the Institute, deliv
ered one of the finest lectures we ever heard.
The Court House was crowded, and after bring
introduced by Prof. J. F. Arnold, Mr. Ktter
addressed the audience for over two hours on
school government in oue of the ablest and
most telling speeches we ever heard. All that
heard him went away well pleased ami ex.
pressed themselves that he was the proper
man for the high position that he occupies.
