CRANBERRY CULTURE.

inlets, tull OF flags, old hogs and brush. and
where cranberries grow sparingly. He ill.,

in the best condition for raising the fruit.
The marshes, he adds, can be easily dam

described would seem to be a good one for
cranberres. though tits difficult to say with
certainty where they will be sure TO thrive
Those who ought 10 be the best judges
have frequently been mistaken during the
last few years. and could scarcely tell why.
The worst difficulty growers have TO con-
tend with is the "scald'' or 'rol'-a dis
ease comparatively unknown until the last
few years, but which has destroyed crop af-
ter crop on many plantations which We're
once considered the best in the country. The
Investigations have not yet satisfactorily
shown the cause or cure of this disease. and
in new localities it would seem desirable to
test the culture ofthis fruit in moderate
way before doing very mnch in 1t.

AGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE,

farmers, who had accumulated fortunes. 1t

were made when our soil was in virgin
s'ale and produced almost spontaneously

pies OF agricultural scence-these men had
