I beds. A writer 111 the New Yurk 7'riiime . «ay» : The productlnu af the cranberry in K.slvra New Jersey is worthy of re- , I mark, lu Ocean County alone, ibacnltfiintre than l.iiOO ncres. The most ap- , proved plan ol making a bed is to select , .« bug or low piece of ground which cao ba easily flowed wilb water and drained to ; the depth ol two feel, and after laming . under the end and pulvetumg the surface, lo cover over the whole with wbila (and , to the depth of six Inches. Tbe plant* , .ue placed about eighteen inches apart. . | They mailt he kept cloar of weeds, and in . j the course of three or four year* the whole | -up face will be covered with tbe viae. By i means ol a dam tha bed ia kept under j eater about onr half ol. the year ; tbi* plan . i effectually checks the ravage* of the worm. • I he crop may bo gathered in tb* Fall, . j or if covered by water daring tbe Winter, pip the Spring. Tha average yield per acre j is about two hundred bushels, and th* : average pi ice per bushel about $3. After '. 'he bed. begin to bear, tha production ol • ill# berry i. attended with lest care aod trouble than soy other crop. Unliko utber berries it ceo be prevented without difficulty for a long time ; the market, loo, if seldom over-sapplied. Large qountl- , ®»a are o.»d on snip board, and the foreign demand is constantly increasing. A bed of the fiist quality it generally held , as high a* $1,000 an acre. Tba Ameri- . can cranberry — of which there are three , varieties well known lo dealers— the Ball, ihe Bugle, and th- Cherry — is much larger 'ban the Knglish cranberry. Ia some of ibs restaurants and other places in Paris, where condiments and preserves are told, , the American cranberry bat oow a coo- , tplceont place. Tb* following it also from tba iame , source, publi bed io a different i.sne : The ground should bt «f a peaiy foraaaI lion and sach as can bs drained twenty , inches .below tbe snrfso-. A sandy, , v rarely bottom is imoertuei, or sand might be carted oo, tboagb tbe labor woald be ! very great. I he ground is drained by . ditches at least two fowl, and dykes iboald 1 be raised that tbe aprfsca maj be flooded, . when the surface most he pat in fine tilth, . «« if one woald sow turotps.' A good [preparation is in grow root crops for s year or an, Iboagh in Jersey the plant* .re set oot a. sunn as passible. Th# rows for the crannerriea atroeld be two (set i apart, nail the planting done f.inr inches iv th" row. Therongh cultivation follows. In the Fall, the ground should be flood. d einhtoen inches. In May it is draws off, , Cilnvaiion ia returned ; tba next Winter flooding le repeated, and Ibis year a crop i «.y be expected. This eullio. p. giren that the people may knew something of the cost of preparation, which ii eot far from J3 aa sera. If one Is going to envagi in the" hu-iness he should writ# to Fowler A Welle, or to Oraog* Jndd A Co., for a hook oa th# tohject ; bat, belter still, he should go actl hire eat la a cranmeadow, then ha will know something.
