Planting Raspberries and Blaokberries

We have many inquiries as to the best
time to set the above-whetber "fall or
spring is best" We have always had the
best success with fall planting. First-be.
cause every plant grows, leaving no vaoan-
cies in the row, while in spring setting we al
ways fail to have good results in their COM
ing, and thus have vacancies in the rows
and as these cannot be filed up until the
following fall or spring, the rows are always
uneven. Second--Fall set plants make at
least ono-third better growth the first year
than those set in the spring. Third-One
has so much more time to attend to it in the
fall than in the spring, and hence can make
so much better job ofit
1t is well known that plants cannot be set
in the spring unless land is OF very light,
sandy nature, so long as ground is unsettled
or kept wet by rains, and hence most per-
sons fail to get them planted out before the
latter part OF the spring, aud then the dry
weather coming on, many failures and vacan-
cies occur. The past spring proves this to
us with number Of sorts we set, both Of
"tip" and "sucker" varieties, aud we have
fully resolved that hereafter our plantatioSs
of raspbernes will go in in the fall. "But
won't they hcave out ?" aud show must SET
| them ?" are questions asked u.s. If it be
sod land, it should be powed at once in mar,
row furrows so as to cut up the sod into mar
row strips as possible. Let this lie until first
of November, then pillow again across the
furrows as they were plowed before, having
had the land well narrowed or cultivated
over two or three times previously, or after
the first plowing. For blackberries or black
raspberries, make off the land with a one
horse pillow into furrows six feet apart one
way (seven feet is still better for blackber
ries), aud three feet the other, and in eacl
crossing put out a plant, setting blackberrie
and cane or sucker raspberries about as deeI
as they stood before, and "tip" raspberrie
so they will be about two inches below tn
level Then, just before winter sets in, throw
a good fork or shoveliul of coarse manure o.
litter over each hill. This answers two pur
poses, one enriching the soil where tn c plant
are by the soakings from manure. and th
other protecting them from "heaving." An
other plan is to make good hill or moun'
over each plant This prevents water from
standing Immediately over the plants, an,
plants being so we'll protected by earth ar
not harmed, Early in the spriug level thes

them through the winter but by thus draw
ing away the earth, leaves the soil over th
plants loose and fIiable. These mounds owe

Eating Fruit.

We hardly know how to account for the
popular impression that still prevails in many
rural districts that the free use Of fruit is
unfrieudly to health. 1t has much to do
with the scarcity of fruit gardens and
orchards 10 the country. AS a matter of
fact, cities and villages are much better sup
piled with fruit the year round than the
surrounding country. There are hundreds
Of farms, even in the oldest parts of the
land, where there is no orchard and the only
fruit is gathered from few seeding apple
trees grown in the fence corners. The wants
of cities are supplied not so much from the
proper farming districts, as from few men
in the suburbs, who make a business of grow
ing fruit for market. The farmers who
raise a good variety of small fruits for the
supply Of their own families are still the
exception. The viloger, with his quarter or
halt acre lot, will have his patch of straw.

fluence of ripe fruit upon the animal ecou-
omy 1t regulates the system better than
anything else, aud forestalls many of the dis.
eases to which we are liable in tho summer
and fall A quaint old gentleman Of our
acquaintance often remarks that apples are
the only pills he takes. He takes these
every day in the year, when they can be
found In the market, and fills up the interval
between the old and new crops with other
fruits. He has hardly seen sick day in
forty years, and pays no doctors bills. We
want more good fruit, especially upon our
farms, and the habit Of eating fruit at our
meals. This is just one of the matters in
which farmers wives can exert an influence.
Many good man would set out fruit trees
and bushes if he were only reminded OF it at
the right time. One right time will be this
autumn--at least in all but the very coolest
parts Of the country. A few dollars invested
then will bring abundant returns 10 from one
to five years. 1t is more intimately con-
nocted with good morals than our phioso-
pliers think. With good digestion it is quite
easy to fulfill the law Of love- American

The Charter Oak PlOw.

From the American Agriculturist We take
the following in regard to the abOve-named
plow, which is the invention of Mr. Augustus
SaDbOrD, lately Of St JOhusbury, and which
is advertised by the manufacturers in this
paper. 0r.tl f"....i 1|'H
The general use of. moving aud reaping
machines renders it necessary that the sur
face Of a field sowed in graiu, or laid down
to grass, should present an even level with
out ridges or open fGrrows. II is impossible
to do this with the common ploW, without
much loss Of time, or without plowing around
the field, which is both difficult and objec-
tionable. To meet this want, the principle
ofa swinging mOld-board aud share, which
has long been used upon the "side-hill''
plows, has been adapted TO plows for level
land. These have been called swivel OF
reversible plowsi the latter name being the
most appropriate. Various kinds Of these
plows have been already mentioned and
described in the Agrieulturist This plow
has some special advantage. One Of the
difficulties heretofore experienced in using a
pillow Of this kind, has been that in plowing
sod, the coulter could not be broug ght into
tho proper position with regard TO the point
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1875-09-17

Of the share, without adjusting IL ut each
shout" In this plow this trouble is obviated
by means Of the swivcl.angle, upon which
the share swings, being less than right an
gle This causes the point OF the share TO
coincide with the point Of the coulter, upon
whichever side Of the beam the share may
be. Another improvement in the form OF
the mold.board, enables the plow to run deep
or shallow, aud do equally good work 10
either case. The plow may also be adjusted
to different widths Of burrows, and is pro-
vided with an elastic and adjustable draft
rod, which, when distractions are met with,
prevents breakage In using these plows,
the necessary extra weight OF the mold
board aud standard adds but little to
the draft, aud is compensated many
times over in the saving Of time and the dis,
tance travelled in going about the headlands
in ordinary plowing. Our method OF using
these plows, Is to fud the center Of the field,
or to divide the field into feRso several
wide lands Of even width from end to eud.
Then in the center of the Geld or the land,
we turn very light furrow,. fat and pass
ing back through tho same furrow, cover the
sod with some loose soil, we then proceed
back and forth until half tho field or land
is plowed, when the other half is 6u.
ished. Another way is to commence
at one side of the field, and throw
light furrow towards the fence, and gradually
deepen the next burrows, until the full depth
is reached. Then plow back and forth until
the whole field is plowed The horses walk
alternately IN the iurrow and on the land,
thus resting the team. AS a portion Of the
field is plOwcd, il may be narrowed and sown
while the ground is fresh aud mellow, which
frequently makes great difference in the
aitor condition Of the crop. For stubble
plowing exactly the same methods are used.
We have fouBd the soil to be left in an excel
lent condition after these plows, so much so
that it is ft to be sOwn or planted without
previous narrowing. r.

Ashes as q Fertilizer.

From time immemorial ashes have been
known and valued as a fertilizer. They pre-
sumably contain all the mineral substances
found in plants, and IL is these which are
most generally deficient in soils long cropped.
Nitrogen is found 10 unlimited quantities in
the atmosphere, aud it is now generally con.
ceded that soil, or plants, or both, have some
means Of utilizing and retaining it. With
this element supplied, the chief probable
deficiencies would be in phosphate Of lime
aud potash. Ordinary wood ashes supply
both of these elements, notably the poinsh Of
which, when unleached, it usually contains
six to twelve or more per cent. The phos-
phate Of lime in ashes is not in very soluble
condition, aud il is retained with very slight
loss after teaching. while there is alsO
considerable quantity Of potash remaining in
leached ashes. -li ir ...aI.a III
While potash is always valuable, aud par
ticularly so for some plants, the potash in
newly burned ashes is not In best condition
to be available as plant food. It is Just the
thing for the soap maker 10 its caustie state,
as 1t will then eat the grease and make a
good soap. But for growing plants this
caustic potash is not Immediately available !;
its alkali needs to be neutralized, leaving its
mineral element in the form Of a suiphato or
nitrate Of potash. 1t requires no act Of man
to make this change, Natare and the ele-
ments will do it in very little time. Ashes
kept in any confined place where current
Of air is not constantly blowing over them
very rapidly absorb moisture and with
that they have the faculty of uniting
with the nitrogen OF tho atmosphere,
forming from their potash a nitrate Of
potash or crude saltpeter, one of the most
valuable OF all mineral manures and freely
soluble. Bot this nitrate Of potash is unfit
for soap making. Housewives have learned
this, for they all know that they canuot
make soap by teaching old ashes that
have become damp from long exposure to
the air. Why? They say the ashes have
lost their strength but there has been no
teaching, so the mineral elements must still
be present. Nothing has gone from the
ashes. 1t is only the nitric acid OF the damp
atmosphere'which has neutralized the alkali
Of the potash aud formed nitrate. No
housewife would think Of making soap from
saltpeter, yet this is what is attempted unless

Value of Manure from Different Animals.

The excrements Of the different kinds Of
farm stock vary widely in value, as the ma
nure from neat stock contains the least nitro
gen and more water than that of any other
stock. The more nitrogen contained in ma
nure the more rapid its decomposition
hence it is sooner absorbed as plant food.
Horse manure is richer in nitrogen than that
of neat cattle and contains less water, con-
sequently it decomposes more rapidly, and
its fertilizing elements are sooner taken up
by vegetation. 1t acts Immediately, hence
its great value for all quick growing crops.
The value of manure made from swine
varies more than that Of any other stock. If
swine are fed on slops and potatoes and ap-
Piles, the manure is of little value, compared
with those fed on grain, or from the ofal
from slaughter houses. The excrements of
sheep contain the most nitrogen. think
manure made from this stock worth nearly
twice as much per cord as that made from
cows. An English farmer experimenting
with different kinds oil manure made from
cows, horses, sheep and swine, applied them
on equal plots of land of nearly the same
state of fertility and sowed the field with
barley, sowing also one plot of same size
without any fertilizer, with the following re-

lie has come to the conclusion which is PEN
etrating the brains Of many other men, who
have TO hire all their farm work done, that
grass is the best crop to raise. In the fall
of 1874 he plowed l4O rods Of meadow
which was run out, and spread on four cords
of manure from his barn cellar. This sea
son he cut little short Of three tons (six
one horse loads) of hay from the piece, and
the rowen now on the ground would make
more than ton. He is satisfied with the
results Of fall seeding with manure.
