Small Fruits on the Farm.

TIE extensive cultivation of small
fruits for market has undoubtedly
proved profitable to the planters, else the
markets of our cities would not continue
to be supplied, year after year, at such
comparatively low rates as nowadays
prevail And yet, in the farm garden we
seldom see plantations of small fruits
sufficient to give the family even a mod
crate supply. Too often the few bushes
or vines obtained are thrust in some out
of-the-way place, to take care of them
selves, spread into thckets, or degenerate
into wldings, and are finally grubbed
and cast out as rubbish.
From time to time we have called at
tention not only to the pleasure attend
ing well-kept farm garden, but also TO
lis economy 1t would seem that there
was n vast amount of missionary work
vet to be done ir this direction before
the average farmer is fully walked up to
the Importance and economy of this sub
iect. We shall continue to call attention
to gardening as an important part of the
farmers art until the people shall be
fully walked up to its value, and shall
come to practice what they believe. Our
present purpose is to call attention to
small fruits.
1t is impossible to have success in any
thing valuable as food without cultiva-
ton; and, while this is true as rule, it
is especially so with berries. They sell
dom have space enough allowed them,
and when this is the case it is impossible
TO properly prune them, much less cult
waite them. CuVantS and gooseberries
should never be planted at less distance
than from four 10 four and half feet
between the rows; raspbcrries, five to
five and half feet, and blackbernes
never less than six feet. If so, the two
first may be planted three feet distant in
the row, the third three and a half feet,
and the latter four feet in the row.
Currants and gooseberries should be
kept properly Trimmed, SO that the foliage
may get due proportion of sun and air;
and raSpberries and blackherries should
have The old wood taken out each season
and the new growth cut back TO three
and half or four feet, or be pinched
when the seasons growth has progressed
so far. If 10 this We add cultivation sur
iicient 10 keep the surface mellow and
the weeds Killed there Is no reason why
full crop of fruit should not be gath
cred every season that is favorable To its
maturity; and experience has demon
Strated that there are few that are not
favorable If the y.blossoming sorts
are kept back SO that the hossoming
season may not occur during frosty
weather,
As rule small fruits are more easy of
cultivation than strawberries and fully
US easily gathered as Strawberries, even
when this fruit Is well cuiiivatcd that is,
when the plants have been placed three
feet apart between the rows by not less

than twelve inches in the row and the
runners kept scrupulously cut. Else
first-class fruit cannot be expected, and
certainly the beds cannot be kept free of
weeds unless SO treated without more
labor than the crop is worth,
To those who have already good gar
dens without berries as prominent
feature therein we say, Lose no time in
setting apart a sufficient portion, or, if
need be, enlarge it for this purpose. If
there are any who have not yet got
ready to have the garden permanently
fixed we say, Do so at the earliest prac-
ticable moment and make it of size to al
low ample space for berries Western

Minnesota Republican Platform.

We, the representatives Of the Republican
party of Minnesota, in State Convention assem-
bed, do hereby adopt and declare the following:
ResoIted, That while reatfrming the princi-
pies and renewing the pledges enunciated and
given bt the Republican party in the last State
and National Conventions, aud recognizing the
ability and general fidelity which have marked
both the Stale and National Administrations in
the discharge of the public trusts respectively
committed 10 them, we can point with especial
PRIDE TO the firm maintenance Of our foreign re-
lations upon basis of justice and right. and
such has secured respect and friendship
abroad and peace and confidence AZ home: the
judicious enforcement of all laws having for their
object the protection of all classes OF our citi-
zcns, both North and South in their just civil
and political rights: the protection of the whole
country against the perils OF lnsuTection and
new rebellion; the preservation of the public
faith; the constant improvement of the public
credit. reduction OF the public debt and conse-
quent removal of the burdens of taxation; the
preservation of sound currency against ruinous
imitation inspired by speculative interests, which
may be hailed as sure guarantee of the earliest
possible return 10 specie payment consistent with
the rights of both the debtor and creditor classes
of our people, and above all, the constant vigil
lance manifested in hunting out and exposing to
public condemnation delinquent officials and
corruption in office wherever and whenever
found regardless of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all abuses
as last rs discovered. Its prompt response to the
popular demand by the repeal of the Congress
si0nal salary bill and other obnoxious legislation,
and Us readiness to grapple with the new issues
and productive industry by the Inauguration of
measures looking 10 the protection of the latter
against Qll unjust encroacnments of the former,
aud by the opening OF new and cheaper channels
OF communication by wafer between the grana-
rlcs OF The West and the markets of the EaSt-as
sure guarantees that the grand old party that
saved The country is still true to the principles
That gave il birth: in hearty sympathy with the
popular will, able and williug 70 administer the
Government IN the interests of an nliIhtened
economy and just regard 10 the public welfare,
aud j. worthy the continued confidence and sup
port OF the people.
ResDirad That We heartily approve of the &C
ton OF Gov. Davis in relation 20 the prosecution
of the persons charged by the report of the Sem
ajc Committee with defraudng the school fund.
