Old Strawberry Beds.

Strawberry vines that have been per-
mitted to cover the ground and have
borne one good crop of fruit, will not
pay the labor of wedding out, and as a
rule should be plowed under as soon as
the crop has been gathered; but if one
has neglected to set new bed the past
spring, and desires to grow enough for
family use, two or three rods of the old
bed may be saved, and made to furnish
another year what fruit is wanted for
home use. Ht
One of the easiest and perhaps the
best way to clean out an old bed, is to
spade in the vines, leaving rows about
a foot in width and four feet apart. A
good dressing of manure should be
spaded in with the vines; and the rows
of vines left standing should be well
cleaned out, leaving neither weeds or
grass. Some believe it best to NOW oil
the tops of the old vines, bat as we have
never tried this method we cannot
speak of its advantage from experience;
but if the vines do just as well by so do
ing, it would be an improvement, be-
cause it would lessen the labor of weed
ing out, which is the one great draw
back on continuing an old bed; not
only is it very tedious task to weed it
out in the first place, but the wedding
must continue until cold weather, or
the grass will become so thick that it
will greatly lessen the crop the next
season. If the land be in good condi-
ton, the space spaded up will be well
covered with vines before cold weather
sets in; if so, then next spring the old
vines may be spaded in to make paths
to stand in while picking the fruit.
If one has a strawberry bed away
from the garden, and it has been kept
clean of grass and weeds, it may be left
over another season without cleaning
out; and it viii perhaps furnish half a
crop another season without expense,
except the use of the land; but if in the
garden, this should never be done, as it
fills the ground with weed seeds, which
will take many years to get out.
A strawberry bed in the garden
should under no circumstances be per
mitted to stand over the second year
without being kept as clean of weeds as
II is the first year. We know that the
temptation is great to let it stand,
hoping to have time to clean it out,
which in many cases never comes. The
decision should be made within two
weeks after the crop is gathered; and il
it is decided to let it stand another year
the work of cleaning out should be
commenced at once. - Massachusetts

One objection to large farm, of
sufficient capacity to meet the wants of
a great farmer, is that it concentrates
all the cFops and all the manure at one
point. In harvest time short hauling of
hay and grain saves valuable time. and,
when manure is to be drawn. short dis
tances to the fields from the heaps or
sheds very much lessons cost. 1t is
better to divide on large farms and have
two or more separate points>of eoncen-
tration in distribution, and thereby save
great cost to team work. And, too, it
is very wise to divide the farm buildings
as to not have them all burn at one fire.
These are general considerations. IN.

Leigh Smiths Story of His Arctic Ex-
periences.
A recent London dispatch says !:

A recent London dispatch says:
The steamer Hope, commanded by
Sir Allen Young, G.. B., which left here
in June last in search of the crew of
the Ezra, has arrived at Peterhead with
the entire crew of that vessel. The
Hope picked them up in Matolshkin
Straits, Nova Zembla, the Sd of August,
they having lost their ship off Franz
Josef Land and journeyed in boats to
the straits, through the ice. Leigh
Smith, commander of the Ezra expedi-
ton, gives the following account of its
experience:
"On July 10, 1881, we steamed
through pack-ice, and ten days later
sighted Franz Josef Land. We pro-
ceeded toward Cape Ludlow, which was
close to the pack to the northward.
August 2 we went up Nightingale Sound
and thence to Ezra Harbor, and erected
a store-house On the 10Th we started
east to look for the Jeanette, but were
unable to pass Berent Hook On Au-
gust p the Eira got nipped between
Iand-foe and pack-ice mile east of
Cape Flora, and sank before we were
able to save manv of the stores. We
built hut on Cape Flora of turf and
stones, and covered it with sails. We
wintered there, and during the whole
time no signs OF scurvy appeared.
fFwenty-nine walrus and thiTty-six bears
were Killed and eaten. We left Cape
Flora June q. 1882, in four boats, sailed
eighty miles without seing any ice, and
reached Nova Zembla August ,. When
the Ezra was nipped the leak gained so
rapidly that in two hours after it had
been discovered it was necessary to
abandon the ship. Hardly had the last
man left the vessel when the ice eased
and the Ezra rapidly sank. A tent was
first erected on the ice, and the house
was subsequently built. .
All the boats of the Ezra were saved.
Most of the men saved some clothes and
bedding. For sixteen nights the crew
slept in a tent, from which they were
at times almost foated out by rain.
