RAsPBERRIEs.-This delightful fruit
can be raised here in the greatest album

best far cultivation. The writer can

THE CURBANT.-But few per1ons
know what q capital fruit this neglected
standard Is, when properly cared for. It
stuck away in some neglected
corner and left by itself. Plant four
feet apart, cut out half Of the shoots
every spring, give a good dressing Of
manure, keep grass and weeds down,
and you will recognize the bush, the
fruit being double or more than usual |
size. As good varieties as any are Red |,
and White Dutch and the Cherry cur
rant. This fruit is always picked much
too early, as it begins to color mucl, be-
fore it is ripe. 1t should never he gath
cred before the last Of July. Nothing is
more beautiful than q dish Of red aud
white currants, sweetened and eaten
with cream, they are as good as pretty.
Dried they are capital fruit. And
every body knows what they are in

BLACKBERRIEs.-T bear all

I'll perfectly hardy and always gives
good crops here. The Missouri Mann
moth is q novelty said to bear as well,
and give fruit double the size OF the 9TH
er, but yet untested here. Plant six feet
apart in rows, set out as early in the
spring as possible, cultivating to keep
down weeds, pinching the tall canes to
not more than 8 ora feet high, and en-
couraging side shoots, as recommended
for raspberries,
All these fruits bear abundantly the |
second year. BE sure to plant early |
in the spring as possible. 1t is perfect
~ useless for farmers to set these fruits
in their gardens and then neglect them
all summer. Nothing can be had in
this world withou labor, care and at |
tention and a farmers garden is as de-
serving of ten or fifteen dollars worth of !
labor as any other mans though it sell
dom gets any ut all. The best way to
grow these fruits, is to plant them in
rows several hundred feet long and cul-
tivate with horse power. In no other
way can man get his money back, and
and health, pleasure, comfort and am
pie interest beside, as in raising these
fruits as they are all sure to succeed ev-
