How to Get Good Raspberrles.

Comparatively few people ever eat
really good raspberry. To have this de.
licious fruit in perfection you must raise
It In your own garden and take little
pains with 1t. We do not now propose
TO go into the general subject Of planning,
pruning and managing raspberries, but
simply 10 throw out few hints that NAV
be Of practical value atthe present time.
Raspberries require very rich land, and
II Is not too late TO fork in some well
rotted manure between the rows. Ifthis
cannot be obtained, SOW about three
pounds Of some artificial manure 10 the
square rod, and work 1t into the sod with
pronged hoe. A spade should never be
used among raspberries. Keep the ground
as clean and mellow as possible. Weeds
pump up large quantities Of water out Of
the SOL. Suffer none to grow. And rec.
ollect that a raspberry sucker that Is NOT
needed Is simply a toeed, and should
be treated accordingly. You want
four strong suckers to each plant to form
canes Tor next year. All the rest, unless
needed to form new beds, should be kill.
ed as soon as they show themselves. This
Is q very important point in raising large
delicious raspberries. As dry weather
approaches, the land having been re.
peatedly stirred to kill weeds, mulch the
ground thickly with the clippings Of the
lawn or other material, to prevent the
evaporation ol moisture.

The Grafton Convention.

NS ~ANASSA SSAN0ASAOAs
The Liberals yesterday nominated at
Grafton a State electoral ticket, composed
of three Democrats and two Republicans
And now what will they do with It?
The Democrats will vote for their own
electoral ticket; the Republicans will
vote for theirs. Who will vote for the
ticket nominated yesterday at Grafton ,
It's pretty sure of five votes, but we don't
see where is the promise Of any more.
We doubt il party in any State ever set
out to go through the motions Of a cam.
paign with less basis to begin on than that
which assembled yesterday at Grafton.
In the natural course Of things, one of
these tickets will have to be swallowed
upby the other. The less cannot swallow
the greater. The Liberal tail need not
expect to wag the Democratic dog. II
GREELEY Democrats and GREELEY Re.
publicans intend to make their support of
the Philosopher effective, they will have
to vote for the same electoral ticket. So
we conclude the Grafton ticket will have
to get out OF the way; and our Liberal Re.
publican friends will at last have tosvote
for five Democrats in order to get to vote
once for the man Of their choice. Judg.
ing from the start they madein the com.
position oftheir own ticket, they contem.
plate this dreadful alternative and are
seasoning themselves ior the worst.

How SWIFTLY times change, and men

by the presence in Washington few days

The Water Supply.

Council last evening took preliminary
measures for important extensions OF the
water service in the Seventh, Eighth and
Third wards. The Committee on Water
Works was authorized to advertise for
bids for making 900 feet OF four.inch
water pipe to be laid in the Seventh and
Eighth wards and 600 feet of six.inch
pipe to be laid on Fulton street (around
the hill) In connection with this the
inquiry was suggested in the First Branch
whether the present water supply would
be equal to so much additional demand
as will result from these extensions. It
was stated on the authority Of Superin.
tendent CUMMNs that 1t now re.
quires one Of the engines to run
all the time and the other eight hours out
Of each twenty.four. Running in this
way the works are barely able to keep the
basin full, and lfan engine should break the
supply of water would be short until the
breakage could be repaired. 1t is obvious
that important additions must soon be
made to the works or new ones erected;
and Council should address itself serious.
ly to the question Of making prompt and
sufficient provision against emergencies
in the water supply. For purposes of
utility, for health and for protection
against fire, water is an article Of prime
necessity.
