Cu!tsvQtion ofhe Raspberry

The plants are frequently set out in light
and poor soils, crowded together, left un-
trimmed, choked up with protuse growth
of weak stems; and what little fruit they
produce is nearly dried up, from the arid
situation in which they are placed On
the contrary, in cool, deep, and moist soil,
in sheltered and partially shaded place,
the plants throw up suckers to the height
of six or eight feet, and produce protu-
sion of large, handsome, and well favored
berries. So well assured are the most
eminent English cultivators of the rasp-
berry, Of its love Of cool and most SOIL
that some writer's have strenuously recon-
neuded the use of bog earth and rotten
leaves, in the place of richest loan. We
are well assured that the many complaints
which are made of the meagre produce OF
many raspberry paintings, may be attrl-
buted wholly to the Iightand droughty soils
in which they are often planted.
A cool aspect is Of material consequence;
and to secure this, the north side of a
fence or trellis, which form screen from
the sun is the most favorable on the north
side of the shrubby or row of fruit trees,
is also a suitable place. lfneilher of these
situations is to be had, an open spot in the
garden may be chosen, always being care
full to avoid the south or east side of the
fence. A temporary shade may be aft
ected in the opon garden by planting row
of running beans on the southside.

DirgC for a Young Girl,

Underneath the sod, low lying,
Dark and drear,
Slepeeth one who left in dying,
Sorrow here.
Yes, they're bending DER her,
Eyes that weep;
Forms that to the cold grave bore her,
Vryils keep
When the sum mer moon is shining
Soft and fair,
Friends she loved in tears are twlnlng
Chaplets there
Rest in peace, thou gentle spirit
Throned above;
Souls like thine God inherit
Life and love.

the direction of such men, this aourishing In

1896 policies during the last three months
which, we believe is the largest number ever
issued by Mutual Company in the same time.
Their plan of insuring none but detached
buildings Of the safest kind, is at once popular
and advantageous, and seems to be decidedly
the most popular plan ever adopted by a Mu-

" UIashingtOn County Mutual Insurance
