To spread the sand over the bog, lay down a course of plank, over which the sand can be wheeled in barrows and so dumped, from this plank-walk, as to make the level spreading thereof a matter of little labor; shift the plank about four feet from that portion already covered, and dump to right and left as before; enough should be brought on to give an even coating of from four to five inches, and it may be smoothed by a lawn rake, or a leveller made of one-inch board, about a foot and a half long, by three or four inches wide, with a rake handle fastened in the centre of the board. When the sand has been evenly spread over the bog, it is ready to be marked off. This is generally done by using an improvised rake or “marker,” made of a piece of 2 by 4 inch joist, seven to ten feet long, with white-oak teeth eight inches long, set eighteen inches apart, the whole finished with a handle for easy working. This rake is usually run parallel with some straight ditch, or along one side of a bog in a straight line, so that when set in vines it may present a uniform appearance. But as, in the case of corn, “more grows in crooked rows than straight ones,” this may be left to taste and convenience; again cross-marking at right angles, and you are ready for setting the vines. * * * * * NEWPORT, R.I., Oct. 26, 1891. I have used Bradley’s Fertilizer on my cranberry bog twice, and find a great improvement in checking the growth of moss, also in starting the vines. In fact, I think it made the vines grow too fast, or I may have put on too much. I can recommend it as a first-class Fertilizer. H. B. RYDER, 17 Harvard Ave. * * * * * NORTH HARWICH, MASS., Oct. 19, 1891. I have used Bradley’s Fertilizer on my cranberry bogs, both old and new, the past three or four years, with highly satisfactory results. It adds to the growth of new vines, so that they cover the ground quicker, and come into bearing one or two years earlier than they would were there no fertilizer applied. On my old vines the effect of this Fertilizer has been to kill out the moss (burn it up, to appearance), and to so renew the vines as to give them the look of a young bog. JOHN E. RYDER.
