CULTIVATION OF Ca.spERerEs


CULTIVATION OF CRASBERRiEs.-l
Why not raise cranbeAes in YER
mont ! Can any one give good
reason for sending out of the State,
annually, thousands of dollars to
pay for cranberries raised in Massa-
chusettsi A little care, time, and
attention, bestowed upon the cul-
ture Of that delicious fruit, the cram
berry, would put an effectual veto
upon the annual drain upon the
"circuhting medium" of Vermont,
and retain the money to circulate at
home. From one hundred and fifty
to two hundred bushels per acre. of
cranberries of the Bell variety, or
egg shaped, may be raised in any
part of the New England States, as
easily in Vermont as in any other
state in the Union. The following
is the modus operandi pursued with
uniform success by Mr.. Trowbridge,
Newhaven, Conn.
"The soil best adapted, is such
as will keep moist through the dry
season they have been raised on
land high enough to produce corn
and potatoes with wet substratum
under the soil, or a clay and loan.
They will not succeed well on dry,
sandy, or land liable to bake or be-
come hard in dry weather--but
they will produce an abundant crop
on poor swampy land that will not
produce any other valuable crop, or
any wet land after being drained.
Dry ground should be plowed and
narrowed smooth in a swamp
where a plow will not work the turf
or bog may be peeled off or burnt
to get the weeds and grass out
They may be set in fall and spring,
as early as the ground will admit,
until the middle of May. Moss,
tan. or any thing to retain the mois-
ture would be beneficial around the
plant. after transplanting; a little
sand around the plant fall and spring
will tend to keep the weeds out.
Plant in drills as you plant
strawberry, cabbage, one and half
to two feet apart. At two feet apart
each way, it will take 10000 plants
to the acre. Hoe them slightly at
first, until the roots become cliuch-
ed, and afterwards no other cultiva-
ton is needed, unless to keep out
weeds and grass. The plants may
be expected to run together and COW
er the whole ground in two or three
years. They can be gathered with
cranberry rake made for the pur-
pose. to be procured at the agricul-
tilral stores"

OLIVER NJ. WaIPPLE, the millionaire Of
Lowell, while presiding at the " Vermont
Festival" in that city, a few evenings since,
related an interesting story Of his early life
In 1915, be left his home in Vermont, went
on foot to Boston, with only fifteen dollars
in his pocket, but finally made his way to
Southwick, in this county, where he engaged
himself to service at eight dollars a month.
Here he remained for three years, and by
industry aud prudence succeeded in accu-
mnlaung capital of six hundred dollars
with which he went to Lowell, then
Chelmsford) where he engaged in business
on his own account and laid the foundation
Of his present immense wealth-another ex-
ample Of the success Of well directed indus
try and enterprise. Republican.

The SHAKER BARN. At Enfield,
N. H., the society of Shakers, seed
growers, horticulturists and farmers,
have projected and have in good
progress, granite barn, two hun
dred and fifty feet in length, by fif-
ty in width, (for the accommodation
of fifty choice cows,) to be rooted
with slate from Wales. Mr.. Henry
Elkins, the designer and architect,
estimates the cost at $4,000 and
gives the following description of it
The location and arrangements
Of this barn edifice, are in many
respects peculiar, and in all respects
admirable. Its outer walls are of
stone and its roof Of slate. 1t is To-
Gated across gentle ravine, OPEN
ing from bank to bank and is so
arranged that teams laden with hay
or straw, may enter at either gable,
precipitate the load to the bay be-
low, pass on, and make their egress
at the other end. Such a situation
has enabled them to extend cellar
its whole length for the reception of
the manures both solid and liquid
which are kept from filtration or
otherwise escaping downwards, by
a plank floor laid upon a stratum of
clay, wrought as bed of mortar.
The descent of the ground upon the
backside Of the barn renders ingress
and egress to and from the cellar
convenient and easy for carrying
pond mud and manure. The cows
will be tethered all upon the south
side of the barn, and in one contin-
uous longitudinal stable, sixteen
feet in width, with walls plastered
inwardly with lime mortar, and
leaving walk behind the cutters,
of four feet in width, and a corridor
or passage between the cribs aud
mows upon. the north side, (Which
NOW preserves the warmth of the
barn throughout, sufficiently wide
for a horse and cart to pass ; which
is often convenient, when feeding
with green food.
The scaffolds above the cows are
best depository for litter, which is
let down through trap door in the
rear of the cows and also, when
partiiioned into rooms, serve as
place for meal, grain, and also for
herdsman's office. All these ar
engagements render it perhaps the
most convenient, and it is undoubt-
ly the most expensive barn i'll A
merica. Its height to the caves,
upon the back side is to be thirty
four feet; stables, eight feet I'm
Guiding timbers) and scafiolds, six
teen feet. Flooring for teams franz
ed four feet below the caves.

Please send me by express, seed

Yours very truly,

Ma. EDIToR: Probably Mr..
Blake did not expect to see his let
ter to me in print. But | think it
too valuable to be suppressed. And
this for two reasons. In the first
place, some inexperienced persons
say the top onion never grows large.
An onion one foot in circumference
is about four inches in diameter
large enough. Besides, it is new to
me that salt and hen manure can
be used with success. | have al
ways used ashes. And it is new to
me that we may as well drop the
seeds without regard to top or bot
tom being up. | always thought if
the root was not down they would
come up heels over head. Mr.. BIS
way must be great saving in work.
take it, he makes deep drills, drops
his seed and covers with a rake
head, and covers them rather light
lily. Otherwise a seed that happen
ed to drop top down could not turn
over. | have seen them come in
such a way that the roots held the
onion down top and all.
