SIR: Permit me to call attention to certain
facts connected with STRENGTHENING Department
which will no doubt be interesting 70 the public IN gen
eral and especially 10 taxpayers. The carts EN-
ployed by this Department bound to remove only
the DIRT garbage Of the public streets and the ashes
from private tenemeDts for which work they are PAID
per day from the City Treasury while the propretors
OF all hotels factories etc. required 20 remove at
their own expense any which may accumulate
their premises the streetCeaning Department having
no right being under obligation 10 use their carts
in such removal 1t is with the conviction. therefore,
that the employees Of that Department are sub
serving private interests In carting the ashes and
garbage the st. Nicholas Hotel and similar establish
meDts that prompts protest against this abuse
and 10 awaken vigilance Of the proper authorities IN
order that proper remedy may be provided

Treatment Of Old Strawberry Beds.

Now that the fruit is gathered, the ques.
ton comes up in the minds of many, what
shall be done with the strawberry beds 2
We do not generally recommend attempting
to keep strawberry beds over to bear the
second year, but in some instances have
done so with good success. If we are to
keep them over, we NOW of all the leaves
as closely as possible, and then cut out
walks and weed the whole and it is possible
that they will give good results next year.
Some adopt adifferent plan, which may oc.
casionally work we'll After the crop is
gathered, run plough through the rows,
blowing under all the vines except strip
about foot in width, where the rows were
originally set, and then level of the ground
aud let the plants left make runners and
cover the space plowed. If the season be
very favorable and the ground rich this
may possibly pay, but not generally. We
believe that, three cases out of four, it is
better not to attempt to keep strawberry
beds over Our own plan is to set a new
bed every spring, and turn under the old
one. If the plants are set in hills, where
they can be hoed and kept free of weeds,
they may, and generally will, do well for
three or four years. For small gardens,
this is good way to grow this fruit
