time to start an apiary. This may
be done either by buying full strength

W. It: What' is the best way to
fertilize strawberries and°blackcaps?
-Answer: In preeeeiug re, sbtwawberiy
bed et is good' practice to choose a,
piece of land that hes been wweekcd
thoroughly for at least mss or two
seasons. If heavy dressings of ma-
ture ' have been made, so much the

about 500 lbs. pee acre of fertilizer

8 to 12 per cent • pha'spltorio amid, and
3 to 5 per cent potable One of the
best m'etho'ds of applying: this fertile
leer is to drill it in with the regular
fertilizer drill. If you do net happen

fertilizer evenly over the .ground stud
