comes below the cost of cultivation, but
leaves small or large profits rs the crops may
be- said these crops had been light in the
two last years, but an average crop is nearly
double, i'll fact we have grown them ut the
rate of 1000 quarts per acre, but when the
crop is lesser the price is generally larger.
This piece was set four feet by eighteen
inches. The weeds were kept down until
time to plant the beans, when they were
planted between the rows and the whole
kept hood us before. In the fall after the
beans were harvested the piece was cleaned
of all weeds which had gone to seed or show
ed signs of it. When the ground was frozen
one ton of swamp hay was scattered over
the surface as II mulch; this was removed in
the spring rs soon rs danger from heaving
was past. The fruit was sold near by in such
towns us lay on the railroad, and the demand
is always greater than the supply, although
there are several acres in town, but the man
that raises the best berries and puts them up
the incest gets pay for his extra labor.
If any reader wishes to try his hand at
growing berries, let him begin with small
piece and enlarge it as he gains knowledge
and he will find market for them. A small

NOISES IN PASTURES,
Nortcich, July 3.

The New York Farmers Club was asked
II few weeks since. can land on which MOSES
are taking the place of grass be economically
reclaimed, and grass be made to grow by any
top dressing other than barnyard manure? or
by any other process than that of ploughing
and reseeding? The use of lime was suggest
ed. Mr.. Cotton knew of lawn that was
improved by lime; Mr.. Smith had II low
messy meadow; he underdrained it, lined a
part of 1t, with good results; to another part
he applied manure; but the thing which
proved most eflectual was the turning on of
the wash from the roadside Now the surface
that starved one cow, keeps three horses and
two cows, and they are sleek all summer.
Mr.. Gregory had known good effects from
the application of SCOT to messy pastures.
Mr. Bragdon knew II piece of messy land
which was thoroughly scratched over with n
sharp-pointed harrow and top-dressed with
plaster and strong bone manure, and with
good effect. He said anything which supplies
ammonia will kill out the moss Mr.. Read
had succeeded in killing it only by ploughing
Mt least three times, sowing after the third
ploughing, grass seed to form sward. In
SIX years the process needed repeating. What
we want is some tOp-dressing that will effect
what ploughing does, with the further good
ofkilling it forever. Mr.. Ely put two tons
of bone-dust on three acres of grass land,
which had much growth of moss, and the
grass took such a start that it choked the
moss.

SMALL FRUITS FOR MARKET.

10 Tie EdttOr Of the Vermont Fnrn,er:
1t is often asked if it will pay to raise small
fruits for market. | send you the following
for the instruction of such as are interested
in such matters.
In the spring of 1869, we set out one-half
acre OF Strawberries, which cost lis the first
season S4O.63. As we grew a crop of beans
they cost extra, but the beans sold for 81. 70
Ihe piece cost us 800 ID. Last year we har
vested mt II cost of $4,000 for picking and
marketing, 800 quarts of berries which sold
for twenty cents per quart or $1,000 leaving
us S77.37 profit from one-half acre in two
years not reckoning for use of land which
was about $1,000. This year we have inst
harvested from this piece $50 boxes of her,
RES, which sold for $1,000, costing for picking
and marketing $4,000, leaving $50 profit this
year, or about Sl27.37 in three years. The
land which we set was in good condition to
bear II crop of corn, bnt as we shall plough if
soon with what green crops there is on il
now, it will be some Sl5 or $50 more than it
was at the time of setting, or enough TO nav
Tor the use of the land for the three wears il
has been set in Strawberries. This land Law
on knobs and Il sidehill and was rather dry.
and as the two years past have been very
dry, the crops were the lghtcst that we have
had for several years, indeed being very
poor.
we had another piece of one-half acre set
at the same time which brought over 500
profit in two years, but us it was badly eaten
by grubs, we ploughed them up after the first
crop. The reason of this difference is owing
to our not putting any beans between them,
which reduced the cost of cultivation, and
several thousand plants were sold from it.
These pieces were both cultivated slip shod
style, that is letting them run where thew
WILL Strawberries us Il crop are easy to
grow, almost sure crop, but the profit is al
ways sure, because the crop failing never

the Caledonia'County and Passumpsic Farm

becoming convinced that to compete Success
hlly with other occupations cooperation has
become necessity. The unexampled sue
cess of the Patrons in the west. and the vast
influence they are eXerting in the interest of
agriculture has attracted the attention of the
eastern farmers who have long been looking
for some tangible plan or association by
which they might act in concert for their own
advantage. No plan yet devised seems to
meet with such universal favor when lis
principles and workings are understood rs
the Patrons of IIusbandry, and all that is
necessary for its general adoption by the
Farmers of Vermont is thorough investiga-
ton of its aims and objects. All newspaper
