oughly wet. A cold-frame is as valu-
able in the summer as in the winter
In the summer the cloth is raised to
allow air to pass under, thus protect
ing small plants from the scorching
sun. In the management of a cold
frame, and of a hot-bed, plenty of
water is Indispensable, and it must
be applied in liberal quantities daily.
Preparation of a Plant-Bed.-Plant-
beds are very largely employed in this
state for raising seedlings, especially
tobacco A cold-frame will serve the
purposes of plant-bed for raising
seedlings, and has many advantages.
Seedlings, after growing to a size that
are easily handled are often planted
is especially so when large quantities
of tomato, cabbage or celery plants
are wanted. The advantage of hav-
ing these plants in as small space
as practicable is apparent to all. The
plant-bed must be very fertile, and
have plenty of water to be used in
case of need. The ground should be
raked carefully, the fertilizer applied,
and the bed spaded or plowed, and
then raked again. The bed should
lie a week or ten days, to allow the
fertilizer to be incorporated, when
the plants may be set out. Plants
should not be allowed to become
checked in their growth at any time.
1t does plants good to be planted sew
eral times, and with some vegetables
such frequent planting is profitable;
but for plants to come to standstill
for want of water or fertilizer works
a detriment that is strilingly notice
able in the crop. Hence in the trans
paintings great care should be taken
as to moisture, temperature and soil,
so that growth may not be checked

The Barrel Culture of Strawberries.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives the modus operandi
of what is known as barrel straw
berry culture. This may be of inter
est to those of our readers known as
city or town gardeners, and who take
much satisfaction in working their
pocket handkerchief garden. The cor
respondent says:
Many people living in villages and
cities who have no land for a garden,
would appreciate having strawber-
nv bed of their own, so that they
could pick fresh berries at any time
for the table, which would be Of
better quality than those usually Of
fered in the market. | am going to
tell them that every one can have his
own strawberry bed who has a space
three feet in diameter to set barrel.
The idea is probably a novelty to
most people, but it has been tried and
proved successful.
[ will try to describe the barrel
method in detail, so that an amateur
can do the work. Any strongly
bound hardwood barrel will do, but
a linseed oil barrel is preferable. A
kerosene oil barrel is liable to impart
some of the kerosene taste to the
fruit, but perhaps this might be
avoided by burning out the barrel be-
fore using it. Lay off the outside of
the barrel in four-inch squares, as
you would mark checker board. Be
gin at the bottom of the barrel and
bore a row of inch holes in each
square horizontally around the bar
rel. In this way bore five rows OF
holes around the barrel eight inches
apart, or in each alternate row OF
squares, boring the second row OF
holes from the bottom on the perpen-
dicular lines instead of in the
squares, and so on alternatively to
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-10-14

the barrel The barrel is filled with
soil level with the first row of holes,
using rich garden soil with a little
well-rotted stable manure thoroughly
mixed with it.
Ordinary bedded plants may be
used, of any veriety desired, mixing
the pistillates and bisexuals, as in
garden culture. The Sharpless with
small mixture of Crescents give
very large berries when grown in this
way; also the Bubach and Marshall;
but for quality of fruit, L have found
none better than the Cumberland
Triumph and the old Charles Down
ing. The latter two are bisexual, and
need no other varieties to fertilize
them. The plants are inserted
through the holes, with the roots a
little higher than the stems, to allow
for settling. The roots are well
spread apart, and more soil is put in
and firmly packed over them. Then
they are sprinkled with water, and
the process continued until the barrel
is filled, when it is covered to prevent
escape of moisture.
In watering, care should be taken
not to keep the soil too wet, and the
better way is to make a few holes
down through the barrel with a stick,
and pour in water or liquid manure
according to the needs of the plants.
1t is we'll TO set the barrel on a box,
or something to elevate it from the
ground, to prevent insects from get
ting to the berries, and also OCCASION
ally to sprinkle the foliage on the out
side of the barrel.
The advantages of this method of
growing strawberries are that no
runners grow, and the whole strength
of the plant is directed to growing
fruit. The berries are perfectly clean,
and all cultivation and wedding are
dispensed with, and economy of space
secured. If the same number of
plants were spread out as in garden
culture, they would occupy nearly a
square rod of ground.
The plants may be put in either in
the spring or fall. If in August or
September, they will yield fair crop
the next year, and will continue in
bearing four or five years without re-
newal Five bushels is the maximum
crop, and perhaps three or four the
average to a barrel, but the yield will
depend on the variety and manage
ment.
The barrel should be placed with a
good exposure to the sun when con-
venient, but the berries will do fairly
we'll in a partial shade. In the win
ter, in localities where there is very
low temperature, a light covering OF
straw should be thrown over the bar
rel. I have recently met a gentleman
who, in connection with his nursery
business, has been selling barrels fur
nished with plants to people for eight
in this state, many of them in Brook
Ign, and he says there is no doubt
about the success of the plan.
Another feature of the barrel cul-
ture of Strawberries is the ornamen-
tai. When the plants are in full
growth, the foliage completely covers

Another Railroad.

A railroad scheme has developed in
the incorporation of the Saluda
Southern Railway Company, with a
capital of S19.755,000, to construct
878 miles of road from new town to
be established eighteen miles north of
Phoeuix upon the lands Of the Rio
Verde Canal Company. The company
is now constructing the water storage
system on the Verde river and The
great canal. and it expects within
two years to cover with water an area
of 200, 900 acres of land in the Salt
River Valley. The incorpora,ors are
all connected with the canal company,
and it is announced that work will
soon commence upon the belt system
of railways throughout the Salt River
valley, connecting the new town with
Glendale, Phoenix and Tempe. Other
lines projected are for the purpose of
securing rights Of way for other COM
panies to Nogales, Yuma aud Flag

l,ig Cattle Deal.

For some time past Jerry Sullivan,
representing Eastern parties, has been
negotiating with a number of cattle
men who own ranges about New river
for the purchase of their herds, and
this morning the sale was consum-
mated. The number of head trans
ferred is 5000, but just what price was
paid for them could not be learned.
The cattlemen who are interested in
the transfer are Alkire. Stevens.
Staley, Cook and Morris. These gen.
tlemen have found the cattle business
in the past few years not as profitable
as they would like and they have de-
termined to abandon their ranges and
embark in other enterprises.
The cattle sold will be rounded up
about May LIST and the cattle driven
into Phoenix, from which place they
will be shipped to Kansas and Ne
braska, where the owners will fatten
them for the Eastern markets.-Phoe-
