culture he can have by fall lboussnda of
plants and each of the plants another

berry isHhat they will Occupy but a small
piece of ground in the side or.end pf the

Another advantage of this fruit is that
they will endure a reasonable amount of
shade without much or any detriment to
the crop. • - a
An other advantage of this fruit over
many kinds is that they will give you
returns in fruit In about one year and
sometimes less than that if you plant
them in August or 'September.

sufflcently early to get well rooted you
ge‘.„a fair crop of fruit the next spring.

men usually have’them marked so that
you can tell the perfect from the mper-
fect ones. „ ■
It is a general belief among fruit grow1
rrs that the Imperfect ones are more pro-
lific when properly fertilized by the other
kind than the perfect flowering ones.
This characteristic is seen in the wild
strawberry as well as tbe cultivated ones.
For convenience in cnltivation the rows
should be from three to five feet apart
and if the plants are set in the spring
they can be about three feet apart in the
rows, And if tbe season is favotable with
good cultivation your plants will be
abundantly thick by fall.
I said tbe plants should be about three
feet in the rows and the rows -from three
to five feet apart. This was said to be
more convenient in their cultivation, but.
if you desire you may put your plants
two feet apart each way.
You should put out one row of the per-
fect flowering ones and then two rows of
the Imperfect ones and then another row
of the perfect fl iwering ones and then the
imperfect otles two rows until you have
finished ; or if you prefer you can mix
them np in the same cow.
—There are many kinds of plants that
are perfect In their flower and many that
are imperfect and the better way for any
one to do that has had no experience with
strawberries would be to consult some
^ne living near.you that has raised them,
and if your soli should be similar to his
you would be much more likely to be sue
cessful. '

' HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
A seedling orange will not bear fruit
for many years, and It is not advisable
to care for such a plant almost a lifetime
without reward, when a blooming and
fruiting tree may be had with but little
trouble, simply procuring a graft from a
fruiting tree and inserting It upon the
non-bearing one. This work should be
done early in tbe spring, before*7^owth
begins, and it is better to get some expert

One of the most threatening evils now
affeettng the civilization and morality
of tbe United States is the extent and
character of foreign Immigration to this
country.-TjCt»s arm m is of opinion that
t x> stringent Immigration laws can" not
be adopted. It were, better to debar
from our shores g hundred profitable
immigrants than to admit one of the
lower orders, thousands of whom reach
l-our sli.T's. They are a menace the
magnitude of which can hardly he cal-
culated. This paper does not believe In
a protective tariff except in so late me. In-
cidental protection is given la the levying
of tariffs for revenue—but at one point
we wotild favor a stringent protective
tariff In favor of morality and civiliza-
tion.- Iu addition to educational quali-
fications and the absence of strictly pau-
per conditions, we would require every
immigrant to add something to the
wealth of the country before he or she
could become a resjdent. .For instance,
everjr adult male should pay Into the
treasury of the United States a certain
amount (sky $1000) for himself, a certain
amount for his wife (say $600) and a
certain amount for each chlld-(say $100);
an adult female without husband should
be also taxed. Every immigrant should
be required, / upon landing, to immedi-
ately take necessary steps, and make
proper declaration of intention to become
a citizen of the United States, and no
foreign born citizen should be allowed
right of franchise until a citizen of this
country at least twenty-one years. Adults
coming to our shores from foreign coun-
tries will not, even in twenty-one years,
make as good citizens as the children
they bring with them, nor as good citi-
zens as those born to them here, because
such adults come, In ninety-nine in-
stances in the hundred, with precon-
yrrite.’ To this was J lined an amend-
ment directed age-net Oanadlane who
work in the United States while retain-
ing their residence In Canada. This bill,
as amended by the senate committee on
Immigration, was considered in the sen-
ate on June 5 and 8, but owing to ad-
journment no vote was reached. It wee
left as 'unfinished business’ on the senate
ca’endar, and-will therefore come up for
consideration at the^short session begin-
ning in I) oember. The educational teet
bow has the support of a large majority
of the leading newspapers of all parties,
of th# members of the house of repre-
sentatives, and of the people generally.
It is of the utmost Importance that
everyone who believes In the further
restriction of Immigration should do all
in his power to help towards the Imme-
diate passage ot the.educational test bill,
now oq the senate calendar, ae s>on as
the short session opens.” '
Texas Farmer earnestly .commends
the foregoing foots to our senators and
representatives in congress, and thinks It
can guarantee their co-operation in this
good work. Unless an exceptioa must be
made of Hawley in the 10th district, who
must depefid on Degroes and dagoes and
other riff-raff, (soma of the said foreign
riff-raff having more money ‘than tnor
allty) for hL hopes of future preferment.

A white-locked, - aeruiouizjng, judge
sat upon the bench, ly hereon he had
been-placed by an effervescent vote of
the people. He carelessly read-through
the morning's list of reversals of his own
decisions by the supreme court, aud
yawned.
“Bring on rfcase,’’' he said.
“What case ?” asked tha faithful clerk.
/‘Any old case/' replied the judge,
“where 1 can talk.”

emaciated man whose sunken /cheeks,
bleached by prison pallor, told of long
suffering in confinement.
“Oh, ah, yea! "saidthe judge, some-
what more briskly, when he saw the
man.
The .poor wretch trembled.
“My gdod fellow,” said the judge, be-
nignly, “this should be the proudest

After pausing a few moments to give
due effect to his words:

The face of the oourt fairly radiated
