The Blackberry.

The Blackberry requires nearly the same
treatment as the Raspberry; but being a
more rampant grower it should have more
room, and needs more pruning or pinchlng.
The distances Of the rows may be six to
eight feet apart, and the plants, if kept
single, two feet in the row. Sometimes they
are allowed to grow thickly or in continu-
Gus line, in which case they should be kept
well cultivated and properly pruned.
Constant cultivation is always better than
much manuring.
Pruning the blackberry is commonly bu.
little understood. We hear complaints OF
the rambling and struggling growth of this
bush, ETC., extending across alleys, tearing
dresses, at the same time proving unproduc.
tive. This is owing to neglect, ofsummcr
pruning. AS soon as the new shoots have
reached three and half feet in hight, tie
ends should be pinched off With the thumb
and finger, which will cause Inc protrusion
of laterals. These in turn are to be pinche ID
eff when they have grown eighteen inches.
1t will! DO necessary to pass along the rows
every two weeks in doing this work, as new
shoots will be constantly thrown out during
the entire summer. The plants being thus
kept within bounds, will present neat, com.
pact, and productive bushes, instead Of un.
productive stragglers if left untouched.

Seasonal bic Hints.

Poultry manure, or guano mixed with

melons yearly for fifteen years, having dur.

one called the ''Strawberry' he has always
found ''6est.'
RAsPBERRIEs that were left unpruned last
| fall should be at once attended to, and all
the old wood and young, slender, weakly
shoots cut out. Leave four to SIX good
strong canes to each hill, but head off their
tops about one.tourth of their height.
one pound of potash to six gallons of
water is. good wash to apply to trees on
whose bodies or limbs are insects, moss, etc.
REMEMBER that the earlier all kinds of
trees and shrubs, except evergreens, are
transplanted, the greater is their chance of
growth and success, because ofthe necessity
Of the broken roots being healed and new
ones formed, before warm suns and showers
burst the buds and cause the leaves to draw
nourishment from them.
If you are about to lay down an orchard
to grass, do SO with grass seed alone. A
crop Of rye, oats, etc., will do more in one
season to check the growth OF trees, than
can be remedied in three years thereafter
under the best cultivation.
CLEAN up strawberry beds before they
commence towering. After that time leave
them alone, as light brush or touch when
in flower will often destroy impregnation,
and OF course the fruit.
INSECTS will not be as destructive in an
orchard well cultivated, so much as one that

Cultivation of India Corn.

AS the time has nearly arrived for farmers
to commence preparing the soil for the re-
ception OF corn, il may be useful 10 give a
few hints connected with this important
crop.
Experience demonstrates that the soil
should be plowed to depth of not less than
six inches. When the ground is thus pre-.
| pared future cultivation becomes compare.
! lively easy, as but little exertion is neces
sary to keep the ground mellow, free from
grass and noxious weeds. Besides other
benefits resulting from deep blowing, the
soil being pulyerized to considerable depth
enables the moisture to rise to the surface
during dry season, and in wet season
facilitates the absorption of water.
The corn crop, or any other product of
the farm, cannot be made profitable with.
ont the due application of some manurial
agent containing the constituents adapted
in general way to the soil. If this fertil.
Ger Is not made upon the premises, in suffi.
Gent quantity to meet the requirements of
the farm, it must be procured elsewhere.
1t Is therefore important in this contingency
that the most valuable should be obtained,
anl this can best be done by buying from
reliable manufacturers OF concentrated ma
nures which have stood the tests ofrepeated
trials. Upon several farms in the vicinity
OF Germantown, BAUGH's RAW bone Phos.
p.hatee was used last year for corn with de.
cided success, the yield IN several instances
exceeding the expectations of the purchas.
ers This is inccntestble evidence of its
value with those who have used it as well
as with others who observed its beneficial
effects. Commencing the first year with a
few hundred tons, Messrs. BAuGH a. Son
now manufacture from ten to fifteen thou.
sand tons per annum, with prospect of still
more extensive sales. In order to prompt.
ly supply the demand In other States.
