CORRESPONDENCE,
Cranberries.

The chief object just now is to induce peo'
pie to plant vines. To plant them well and
skillfully if possible-at any rate to plant
them. There is so much of doubt and dis
trust lingering in the public mind, SO much
asking Why Father and Grandfather did
not plant them ~ it may not be best to in
sst upon having it done in the best possible
manner, or in the way that many, who are
making themselves rich by the culture, think
advisable for their private interest. Such
persons know it pays well to take of the
sods-to dig bitches and build dams to reg
ulate the water-to cover the bog with five
or six inches of sand. Undoubtedly this
method pays enormous interest on the capt
tai employed, but the principal ingredient
of that capital is faith, such as the corn
planter and the Whatsoever has.
o you Whose bumps are exceeding small
who rejoice in heads as round and smooth
as bullets, and who never thought or did a
thing that your fathers did not teach and
practice, just for the novelty of the thing,
and to be in the fashion, spend half day
in going to some cranberry yard or native
marsh; dig up the roots, carefully separate
them from the mud and all other roots.

with little handling.) do mt throw away
