The Strawberry Bed.

From Farmers Review: The late
frosts got the earliest blossoms, but
owing to rush the patch was moi
worked over this spring, leaving q
mat, OF plants, so the frosts were per
haps an advantage to us, for while the
yield Was less, the berries were larger.
The second week of berry time was
very warr with daily showers, hence
the fruit ripened very fast, yielding
from eight to eleven gallons daily; but

From a patch 1-16 of an acre in eI

OF berries, and perhaps eight or ten
quarts spoiled. Ripening as fast a.

today would be spoiled tomorrow.
The quality was fine. extra; and the
size on an average was very good,
some few berries as large as common
peaches-four inches In circumfer
ence. The yield was In proportion e
1900 quarts per acre. The bed was
not mulched at all last winter OF
spring; where the bed is covered with
tnlck foliage, 1t is better to mulch
