Again I call ou our good friends to tell tis how to save hand hoeing in strawberry culture, and how the heavy end of the labor can be done by horse power. DestroN- as manj' weeds as possible the year before after the potato crop. Culti- vate close aud shallow both wa5^s until the runners are set and then only one way. W. W. FarnswORTH Use Planet Jr. with sweeps one time and scraping shovels to scrape away from the plants the next time, and harrow often to prevent the weeds getting too large. O.

I never could get along without con- siderable hand hoeing. For cleaning out old beds I use Boss Plow that has a mold- board about as large as one's hand, which H. S. TiMBRELL leaves the ground level and all the rubbish on top, and I use a fine tooth cultivator which cleans them out of the row which will have to be hand hoed. N. Y.'. ^AR^S•U ORTH W, C.
