Small Farms and Fruit.

"A New York farmer makes the follow
ing suggestion in regard to small farms ::
In many cases, where large farms are divi-
ded, there is no orchard But the enterpris-
ing beginner may do we'll by raising small
fruits while his orchard is growing. A
neighbor is making more out of the Doc
little raspberries, by selling fruits and
plants-both grown on the same land from
a few acres-than most men make on 100
acres by common farming These and 9TH
cr small fruits may be grown between the
rows of apple trees in young orchard.
The grower of small fruits may also do bet
ter by growing strawberries, raspberries,
and lackberries, so as to have success

ing less help at any one time, while the
business can be better managed and con-
trolled.
