MAKING STRAWBERRY BEDS
Hedge-Row System Is Declared to Be
the Best by Many Who Have
Given It q Trial.

The new strawberry bed may be so
managed that it will require the least
care and will produce the largest posi-
BILE amount of fruit. 1t is a great mis-
take to allow the vines to occupy most
of the ground, as they are allowed to do
in too many gardens Such a bed in
the second season becomes solid mass,
with the result that the berries are small
and hard to pick. The next year every
inch of space is covered with plants
generally no fruit to speak of is Sc
cured.
If the hedge-row system is followed
the result will be better, and the bed
may be kept for several years without
being renewed. That method is to al
low the plants to grow six inches apart,
and the rest of the ground is kept clean
of both plants and weeds. The roots of
the plants have an abundance of feed
ing ground and rather large quantities
of plant-food for the making of the ber-
ries. The row of strawberries will not
then be generally more than one foot
across, and the rows should be at least
three feet apart, measuring from center
to center.-Midland Farmer.

BIG MONEY. IN ASPARAGUS.
Demand for This Vegetable Is 1n'
creasing Steadily and the Mar
ket Holds Good.

Most farmers would think $45 an acre
for manure would be an extravagant
outlay of money. But down in New Jer-
sey they spend that much for stable
manure at $1.50 ton, and consider it a
good investment. Naturally they do not
raise corn or wheat or oats ON that sort
OF SOIL They raise asparagus, and get
from $500 to s640 per acre returns from
it.
Experiments from four different kinds
OF fertilizer show that stable manure
brings the largest returns. The differ
ent fertilizers used were as follows:
Manure, $45 per acre; complete fertil-
lzer, $12.93; complete fertilizer bone
and potash, $500; complete fertilizers,
bone and potash and nitrate of soda,
S21.91.
There is a constantly increasing de-
mand for asparagus. the market holds
good, and is likely to for years, yet hum
dreds of farmers who own good land near
large cities go on year after year rails
ing corn, oats and other crops which
yield them bare living. Asparagus is
a sure crop, a sure sale and always
profitable
The soil should be plowed in the fall
and sub .oiled, then turn double fur
rows i've feet apart and place the roots
five inches below the surface Strew
about one-half the fertilizer in the bot
tom of the furrow, mix it with the soil
and place tue remainder on top after
the roots are planted. Manure can be
applied after the plants have started to
grow with good advantage. Place the
roots about 80 inches apart in the rows.
Before the growth starts in the spring.
work the ground thoroughly with disc
and harrow, and then cover the rows
slightly with the single cultivator
shovel set to throw dirt outward. Gull
tivate every ten days thereafter, and
keep the soil in fine condition.
IT bleached asparagus is desired, throw
a ridge of soil over the row as soon as
growth is stated, and cut as soon as the
shoots show through this ridge a
length of six or seven inches. If green
asparagus Is wanted. cover with only
about three inches of soil, and cut the
shoots four or five inches. From Is to
30 cuttings per year can be taken from a
good asparagus bed. The soil requires
plenty of manure every season.-Clin-
ton NJ. Shultz, in Farmers Voice.
