About Black Walnut.
Philadelphia Press.

PnlfaueIpnla PreSS.
A correspondent, who has had large experience
in forest culture, raises some objection to Dr.
Berry's project of planting walnut in the soughs
of the Wabash bottoms. In the first place he
doubts whether forest OF black walnut alone
would thrive. He has often observed that where
one of these trees grew to any size there was
seem to be gregarious tree and nature does not
plant black walnut forests. At all events, no
black walnut at the age of fifty years will be
fitted for cabinet work, and the larger they are
the less will be their value for this purpose. 1t
requires age to make rich grained wood of this
species, and in case of burls very great age. 1t
may be that company which should buy these
lands, he recommends, would make a
good investment But to secure the
highest profit they would not girdle the
ash, blackberry, pecan, catalpa, sassafras,
and other kinds of valuable timber reported as
already standing there. Who knows but that
some of these trees in fifty years. or one-half
that time will be of greater value than the wal
nut. This wood was not fashionable fifty years
ago. and may not be fifty years hence.
In places whore walnut has fourshed young
trees of this species are, doubt, standing, and
these would be more likely to make good trees
than those from nuts dropped into the holes
made by the sharp stick. Again, those trees
grdled the year after the nuts are planted would
be ready to fall just when they would infict the
seyerest injury upon the young stock. The fall
ing timber might knock the young walnut into
burls but would be more likely to knock them
out entirely. Planting trees on the railroad
rightof-wav is out of the question. The engi-
neer wants clear view ahead, to say nothing of
other trouble from fires, trees blown across the
track, limbs broken by ice and other casualties.

An Experiment with Raspberries.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
Thinking that his little experiment in propa-
eating and cutivating a patch of raspberries
would interest many who are fond of the berry,
Mr.. Cooley, of Appleton, has jotted down his ex-
periences for their benefit Having a small
plat in my garden, space l20 feet in length by
90 in width, l concluded to devote it to raspber-
ries Having thoroughly prepared the ground,
| procured good, healty roots. and staked each
end of the plat, so as to have rows six feet apart
| stretched line from end to end of the first
line Of stakes and commenced setting the roots,
planting them one yard apart in the row, which
gave me about forty plants to the row. plant
ed nine rows in the whole, aggregating 300
plants, and by cutting off all the tops
got the full strength of the
root for the first years growth, which
consider essential to the full development of
the plant. After the plants got we'll started.
mulched heavily with coarse litter to smother
out everything between the hills and rows thus
rendering it an easy matter to keep the ground
clean. haven't plowed or cultivated the ground
since the first setting. My first work after the
picking is over is to go through and cut out all
the old bearing wood thus giving the young
plants all the chance possible for next years
crop | confne my bushes by treilising. to pre-
vent prostration by storms and wind. My crop
last year marketed over 800 boxes, besides what
was used in the family and by the pickers, or an
average of 1873 boxes to the row. My bushes
suffered but little by the severity of last winters
extreme cold, which attribute to my cutting off
the tops about the LIST of Septem ber thus rem
dering them hardy enough to winter we'll. If
any of the readers of the Sentinel can show bet
ter results, would be glad to hear from him."

Large and Small Farms.


1t seems to be one of the greatest mistakes of
Northwestern farmers. and American farmers
generally, that they continually striving to
get more acres under their control. and paying
too little attention to the thorough tillage of the
land they already own The more they have
the more they want, and the less careful they
are to cultivate it well. They do not increase
their facilities for making obtaining fertilizers
as fast as they enlarge the area of their farms
Many man would be better off ten years
hence if he would now sell one-third or even one
half of his lands. and the money thus OBJ
tanned for the payment of his debts, or in the
improvement of what land remained than he
will be to drag along with the whole. He has
not capital enough to carry on his business in a
profitable manner He cannot make needed
improvements because he has not means
with which to pay for them.
His money is locked up in land
which he has not capital enough to properly
manage. He cannot pay cash, and for every
thing which ne buys he is charged from 10 to 20
per cent too much, and is constantly harassed
with debts and business perplexties. He would
be much more happy and prosperous if he had
less land and was free from these annoyaEces
Eighty to one hundred acres, besides good pas
turage, properly managed would return a
larger net profit than the average of the large
farms now so common. And these small farms
could be managed by the farmer and one or two
sons, or hired man. and thus much of the per-
plexity and trouble Of having hired help would
be avoided. 1t would make less work in the
house, and not only promote the happiness and
prosperity of the farmer, but also be benefit to
his wife and family.
