What to DO with Strawberry Beds.

1t seems rather hard on the straw
berry beds to 60 into them with pillow
or spade after they have done bearing,

left in narrow strips to gain throw out
the runners, else they will amount
scarcely to nothing for a second crop
Mr. Elliott, of Minneapolis, leaves a
space between the strips of three feet IN
field culture, which allows foot and
half each way for the runners. In gar
den culture, two feet will be sufficient.
The ground plowed up should be made
mellow and smooth, and manure work
