ton at this time; the simple killing
of the grass, giving the plants the
benefit of all the sunshine and of the
moisture in the soil, will be all they
need until October perhaps. But the
missing places should be reflled as
soon as the beds are raked off.
If there are many thrifty young
plants scattered about in the grass it
will be worth while to save them, un-
less the grower has an abundance in
his runner beds. To do this it will
be necessary to pull out a good deal
and return it to the ground where it
stood. In week or ten days it may be
raked off; the plants will by this time
have become accustomed to the
change so that they can endure the
full sunlight.
Flowing for New Beds.-If new land
is chosen, the raw wire grass sod
should be broken up the winte2' before
hand, though the blowing may, if nee
essary, be deferred until the picking
season is over, or even to the begin
ming of the "rainy season." if a good
application of lime or potash is made
to correct the native acidity of the
soil. The blowing should be done with
a powerful team, turning the sod over
at least eight inches deep, followed by
man with an AK to chop out the
roots left in clearing. Native farmers
oppose such deep blowing for the first
time, on account of the sourness of
the sub-soil (and their argument is
correct if no application is made to
correct the sourness), but the lime re-
moves this objection. Besides that,
considerable depth of loose soil is
needed to make a mellow bed as it is
difficult to cut up the tough sod suf-
ficiently fine to receive plants. It is
best to bury it deep down and to use
no implement in the subsequent Guilt
walton that will bring any pieces of it
to the surface.
Plow the sod into beds twelve or
fourteen feet wide, slice them very
thoroughly with the disc or cutaway
harrow, lengthways and crossways.
Plow out the dead-furrows a second
time and throw the loose earth over
the beds to assist in forming mel
low surface. Sow lime over it at the
rate of fifteen or twenty barrels to
the acre. Caustic lime freshly slack
ed is better than the air-slacked:
stone lime is better than oyster shell
lime. This should be done in the rainy,
season to give the showers an oppor-
tunity to wash the lime down and
''sweeten" the soil. Then let the beds
stand two or three weeks-dependin
on the amount of rainfall-for if
plants are set sooner than that the
lime may burn one here and there
Flowing Under Vegetable Natter
If old beds are to be plowed, the ques-
ton arises, How much vegetable mat
ter is it advisable to turn under? We
have not space here to enter into
discussion of the humus question in
all it's bearings. Unquestionably the
thin, sandy soils of Florida need de-
cayed vegetable matter Or humus, but

the next few weeks the planting of
this entire tract will be finished and
10000 trees will be in position. The
expert, Mr.. King, has gone to every
nursery from which trees have been
purchased, selecting those which were
desired, rejecting every faulty one.

plowed under to sour the land to such
degree that strawberry plants set
over it yielded practically nothing,
and it was two years before the land
recovered it's tone and vigor.
Beds or Flat Culture Strawberries
are grown in Florida by various sys-
TENS, from a bed containing a single
row up to those with eight or ten
rows, and without any bedding-up,
the fiat culture. The adaptability Of
each system must be determined by
the character of the soil. The best
strawberry soil is found in a good
class of flatwoods; and of this there
is good deal which runs together
in a rain and dried out with a crust.
Such land will produce an excellent
crop of berries if it is broken up
afresh every fall, and frequently it is
almost impossible to secure a good
crop from it without. On wide beds
in this sort of land one will frequent
ly see the outside row fourishing
quite beyond any other one on the
bed, notwithstanding the fact that,
being on the outside, it receives only
half as much fertilizer as the inside
rows. This superiority is undoubted-
ly due to the better drainage and to
the consequent light and friable ma
ture of the SOIL Indeed if one of
these outside plants is pulled up, it
will be found that large majority of
slope, growing close to the surface,
where they can enjoy the sunshine
and not be lacerated by cultivation.
In such land therefore just medium
should be observed. If the beds are
too wide the water does not run of
readily after heavy rains and the in
side plants are stunted; if they are
too narrow they dry out and it is diff
ficult, in setting plants, to make them
live unless the weather is showery.
Narrow beds do not retain mulchins
we'll in a high wind. Narrow beds are
best in a wet season, in a dry season
they suffer most. from the drouth
Still, on the whole, it is advisable to
plant a few two-row beds ito furnish
early berries. IS
All beds should be full in the mid
die, sloping evenly to the edges so
that no water shall collect and stand
in hollows. This is very important
item in making the bed. We have
known a row midway of one side or
the bed, on account of bad drainage,
to produce not over fifty per cent as
much as an outside row or the one
on the central ridge.
On bed running east and west the
side sloping to the south will produce
more and earlier berries than the side
sloping to the north.
On dry, light lands, especially In
South Florida, it is best to pursue the
system of fiat culture.

LAUNpEREp HIS STOMACH.


Chicago. April 1.-THE Herald says
With little machine which looks like
an egg beater, DIR. FentOn Il. Turck per-
formed the feat OF laundering the in
side Of a mans stomach at the Post
Graduate Medical school, and by means
of the Roentgen ray he at the same
time viewed the internal apartment
where his little device was at work.
The operation marks an era of progress
In the medical world. as the experiment
was the first Of its kind made In full
view of the operator. One of the largest
and most complete ROentgen ray out
fits ever produced was furnished to the
college for the experiment.
Attached to the end Of DR.. TurCk' =
instrument, which Is called a gyromelc,
or revolving sound, was a flexible cable
OF spiral steel wire. on the end Of which
was a small sponge, The cable was
inclosed In a rubber tube. and this, with
the sponge. was swallowed by the pa
tient. The latter. who was stripped Ia
the waist. then stepped before the
Roentgen light the doctor put the tiu-
oroscope To his eyes and an attendant
turned the handle OF the gyromele. The
cable revolvsd as fast or as slow as was
desired, the sponge at the farther end
proceeded To It's work of securing the
inner walls of the patients stomach.
while the doctor through the tluoro-
scope viewed the work by locating the
metallic cable by means of the y rays.
BY pushing or pulling ON the cable the
various portions of the inner walls II
the stomach were operated upon and
the matter which was gathered In the
sponge was then removed for micro
scopic examination. No nausea or 9TH
er discomfort was felt by the patient,
though he stood before the rays for
over an hour. Fly means uf the y ray
IL was not only possible Ia see the ribs
and backbone Of the patient, but to
