Burning the vines of Strawberries. — A gentle- 

 man in this vicinity has this season tried the expe- 

 riment of burning the vines of strawberries as re- 

 commended by Rev. Di Miller in the New Eng- 

 land Farmer, vol. vi. page 233. The experiment 

 has succeeded perfectly — the vines having now a 

 most vigorous growth, and promise of a great crop 

 of fruit. Dr IMiller states that his vines treated 

 this way yielded their fruit not only in a more con- 

 venient succession, but at least a third more in 

 quantity, than others in the same soil. 



The London World of the 21st April, says, 

 'Thousands of the most industriou.s, upright, and 

 skilfid men of the country are emigrating to 

 America.'

 valuable sorts for family use or stock. The most approv-

 culture, the White Norfolk, Yellow Aberdeen. White 

 Flat, and Ruta Baga, are the best. The Yellow Aber

 and Scotland, as it grows to a large size, is very sweet 

 and nutritious, and keeps till June. The above seeds 

 were saved in Europe expressly for this Establishment,
