aSDberrV Culture.

We are asked in regard to the culture
of the raspberry. why it Is that just be
fore the berries fully mature great
many seem to dry up on one side,
whilst the other seems comparatively
good and sound and goes on ripening,
but of course producing only an i'm
perfect berry We give as a reason and
the true one, that the vine lacks moist
ure at the roots; either because the
earth is naturally too dry for the rasp
berry, or it is overrun with grass OF
weeds that are extracting the moisture
from the soil that ought to go to nour-
lsh the plant. The raspberry is decided.
~ surface feeder, so that weeds and
grass act directly upon the source OF
nourishment. 1t is for this reason that
stirring the ground deeply during the
frultIng season is injurious, because it
destroys great number of fine surface
roots, which are the chief feeders OF
the plant. Probably none of the small
fruits or berries are so much benefited
by liberal mulching of coarse manure
straw, leaves or sawdust, as the rasp-
berry. 1t keeps the ground moist at
the surface, and if thick enough will
keep down nearly all the wexds. Next
to mulching, iudicious irrigation,
particularly during the season of the
ripening of the fruit, Will be very GER
tain to ensure Il good crop of sound
berries on rich and otherwise suitable
plants. Pacific RurdI Press.

SALT IN Soar MAKINa.-An English

most useful adaptation of common salt

duced III the bar, or nodded into pat
tern, cheaper than by any other known
process; and PLAIN and fancy soaps of
every odor, color and design are being

The striped Bug.

The Germantown Telegraph has the
following:
Every gardener knows that this is a
most destructive insect among melon,
cucumber and other young vines, some
times damaging the crop seriously.
Many remedies have been suggested,
some of them, no doubt, good in their
way, but troublesome. Now we have
tried for several years a remedy which
has proved, with us, a complete
success. Instead of aiming to drive
away the insect by SCOT, ashes,
etc, we pet 1t, or rather fur
nish it with food better than the young
melon and cucumber plants. We
SOW around each hill, at the time of
each planting, few radish seed, and,
coming up about the same time, the
tops supply pasture for the bugs which
it much prefers to the vines. Lettuce
will also answer, but the radish is
rather liked the best. While our vines
are untouched by making this little
provision for it, the young radish tops
are completely perforated.
''Should this fail-which is seldom
the ease, and has never been so with
us-sprlnkle the vines with a solution
of whale-oil soap and water. No insect
but the curculio can stand this. Where
this preparation is not attainable, q
weak solution of carbolic disinfectant
soap will answer as we'll.

An Electric Railroad.

With view to satisfy the generally
expressed anxiety on the part of the
public, we visited the inventor of the
electric railway system, who very cour-
teously exhibited to us his model of the
railway car, the electric engine, Id the
way in which he applied it to propel
the cars. 1t is very simple arrange
ment, and the only wonder is that the
discovery has not been made before
The engine is composed of a number
of magnets SO as to obtain motive
power of eight hundred and fifty
pounds, or a one-horse power. The
armature is made to work similar to the
pitman of a sewing machine, and takes
the place of the piston of a steam en-
CINE. This works by breaking and
closing the circuit-by the manipula-
ton of a short, working lever,
worked easily by the fingers of
the hand, and so fast that the
movement of either extremity is imper
ceptible to the eye, but makes it appear
as a solid piece, like red-hot rod or
burning stick appears if moved rapidly
by the hand, a beautiful phenomenon
often INDUCED in by children. This
armature rapidly turns a driving wheel,
by which an additional power is OBJ
tanned by its momentum, and this
works the wheels under the car, which
propels it at a very rapid rate. The
road being elevated upon single row
of poles, it is as level as die,
and the cars are consequently moved
with the greatest ease. The engine,
working as fast as lightning, the cars
can be driven at tremendous rate of
speed. The inventor designed his in.
vention to be used in carrying mail and
express packages, which can easily be
done at the rate of one hundred
miles per hour, but the electro
magnetism as a motive power for small
machinery will make the invention
more useful and important.
The model exhibited shows the road
upon poles set in the curbstone oredge
of the pavement, with safe and easy
stairway to ascend or decend from the
cars. The single line of poles sup
ports double track for cars to run in
opposite directions, the telegraph lines
of the different companies, and of the
ire-alarm telegraph and gas lamps to
light the street. 1t is made very light
so that it will not obstruct the street,
but add to its beauty, and do away
with the old fashioned tramway street
cars, the dread of owners of vehicles
and the implement of commercial in
tercourse in all cities. The cars Will
run noiselessly, and are the very thing
needed upon crowded thoroughfares.-
