Starting q Blackberry Patch.

The most common method of starting
a new blackberry plantation is to use
plants OF the last years growth, but il
is we'll to remind growers that they can
do just about as we'll with suckers of
the current year if they will plant care
fully and water at the time of setting.
Dig up plants in April Or May, while
in full growth, cut the top off near the
ground, expose the roots as little as pos
sib]e, plant very soon, pour water about
the roots before filing the hole with
earth; then fill and pack the earth close
ly about it. treated several hundred
so this spring, and they are doing rather
better, think, than plants of last year
set in April. Of these quite a good
many die for some reason, and it is an
excellent plan to fill these vacancies
with suckers Of the current year-much
better than to wait full year. The
same is true Of all raspberries which
propagate by suckers. Ii one waits q
year, the young plants then must com
pete with their older neighbors, the
roots of which already begin to monop-
olize the ground. The second year it is
still worse, and indeed it is we'll nigh
impossible then to fill the vacancies sue
cessfully. For these reasons, when a
plantation of anything is started--trees
as we'll as vines or plants-itis very i'm
portant that they all start at the same

The Possibilities Of Irrigation.
From the Trenton Times.

From the Trenton Times
Mr.. A. N. Cole, of Wellsville, N. T.,
the veteran ex-editor, has made discoy.
cries in the matter Of irrigation, and So
cured q patent therefor, which seems
destined to work great revolution in
the value Of lands. By his system he
grows strawberries to the size of peaches,
and increases the size, beauty and per"
lection Of all fruits to degree to defy
credence. He says in a letter in the
Wellsville Free Press: II grow such
turnips, beets, cabbages and caulihowers
as have never been seen on the Atlantic
coast. A full busheI of tomatoes to the
plant can be grown, and that, too, Of
marvellous size and beauty. AS stated
in previous articles, 1000 bushels Of
peapods can be grown to the acre. All
forms, in short, of vegetable growth are
SO developed as TO do away with fungus,
deadliest enemy of plant life, securing
stalk, bud, blossom and fruit in com.
pletest perfection. This is done by
hanging up on our hillsides in success
sion of trenches, deep dug in the hard
pan, aggregations of water to be held
in reserve till they find their way by the
laws of gravity, in even and uniform
currents Of subterranean flow, to the
streams in the valleys, securing such
perfection of irrigation in their track as
TO give plant lie inspiration such as has
never before been so much as approx
mated"

Brief Farm Notes.

Drainage Of Flower Pots.-No othe,
matter connected with plant culture is
of greater Importance. If applied wa
ter does not settle away in few min
utes, it indicates that there is stoppage
in the soil which must he removed. A
pointed stick thrust through the hole
in the bottom of the pot will usually
set the trouble right.
A neighbor who raises many cab
bages sent his hired boy into the
field almost daily the present season
with gauze net to catch and kill all
the white butterflies, which are the par
ents of the green cabbage worms. AT
first fifty or sixty were caught in an
hour devoted to them, but later they
became much scarcer. This, combined
with an occasional picking OF the larvae,
has kept the cabbages almost free from
the pest. .ss-,~
