A word About Isaspberrics.

1t has always been maintained that n
good thing was worth taking little trouble
with in order to get it, and so with the
finer kinds of raspberries. We have prac-
ticed laying down the canes, and thus have
been able to get the delicious Hornet
Orange and other good kinds 10 perfection.
The trouble is YER little, and We have got
something which we can depend on for
giving good account Of itself after it is
done. Hardness is a capital thing; and
where one has & score Of acres to protect,
we should net quarrel with him who would
regard the ability to take caro- of itself in
winter as one of the first essentials in q
good market raspberry.
But we suppose that the past winter has
given death-blow to the reputation of all
hardy raspberries. Even the blackcap in
the tencc-rows have been injured in many
instances, and it will not he surprising if
such usually hardy ones as Philadelphia
and Herstine suffer this year. This will
give q new claim to the protecting idea !;
and if protection, then the finer kinds.
1t is more than likely that the injury to
the canes by the winter, will result in short
crops, both Of the blackberry and raspberry,
and that high prices viii be the conse-
quence. Oflate years these have been so
common as to be within the reach Of hun
dreds who hardly knew them by name be-
fore, but If our anticipaticns of scarcity
prove correct, the strawberry will yet re-
main the poor mans fruit.
In the planting Of raspberlies there is
one hint which may be of service to rasp-
berry planters, and that is net to set the
plants too deep. More die from this cause
than people have any idea OF. The rasp-
berry canes should be cut oil to about one
foot, and not set deeper than an inch above
where the roots are The earth must, Of
course, be pressed very hard and firm
against the sets, when thus planted, or
else they will soon dry out. Some use
mulch to shade the ground after the rasp-
berry cane has been planted, but if pressed
firmly in tic earth they will not suffer from
the weather, unless extremely dry, and do
much better than with the mulch on the
surface the first year.-Germantoacn 1e,e.

SPREAD YOUR MANURE.-The common
practice, when hauling manure from the
yard to the field, is TO deposit it in small
heaps Of from one to two feet in thickness.
In this condition fermentation, to a certain
extent, takes place, aud great proportion
OF the growing elements of plants existing,
are dissipatcd into the air and lost. If

Pruning at Eransptan:ing.

At this planting season 1t may not be
amiss to observe that most trees will be
benefited by little pruning at the time Of
planting. In Saying this we know ii is op-
posed to the teachings and the practice of
some excellent fruit-growers who have sue
ceeded very well in traRsplanting without
using knife on the tree from the first 30
the last. But all extended observation
shows us that in most cases with people
this good result would not follow. If the
roots were ALWAYS in good condition. OF
were not allowed t. at dry before plant.
ing, there might be NC great benefit in the
pruning, but il is very rarely the case that
this good condition of the roots is secured.
II is sometimes said that the whole mass
Of wood in the transplanted tree is neces-
sary to furnish the downward sap neces-
sary 20 form roots but those who have
carefully watched the operation Of root
making, have, no doubt, seen that roots
are most rapidly formed while the tree IS
growing most vigorously, and now leaves
and branches are forming. To get q good
rapid, now growth. therefore, is a means OF
getting roots, and this rapid growth is en-
couragcd, in strong degree, by rruning g
at transplanting.
How much should be cut will depend on
the amount Of roots already existing and
tho kind of tree to be planted. Ar apple
tree, for instance, seldom requires much,
because the roots are naturally iibrous. and
in digging the Tree there is always a good
proportion OF roots to it, The same is true
of dwarf pear, as 4 general thing but a
standard pear with Z few forklike prongs in
the place OF roots, or an oak with a similar
sst of hornlike projection i the place ot
ferrous roots, is always h. lefted by con.
