Pruning the Red Raspberry.

Shortening the canes Of the raspberry
favors the stronger development Of branches
and the fruit they produce As soon as the
growth is two and one half to three feet
high, and not more 20 through the field and
pinch off the tips of all the canes. A week
later go over again, nipping off all the tips
overlooked, or those that We're too small the
first time. Fuller, in The Small Fruit Cui-
turist, says: Because no other pruning ex-
cept cutting out the old canes, is generally
practiCed it is 10 sufficient reason why 1t Is not
nece ssary, or that it would not be beneficial.
The Learing canes should be pruned in the
spring by heading back the lea ling shoots,
and shortening the lateral ones" Thomas III
American Fruit Culturist has this in refer
ence to pruning: when the new canes
have reached a sufficient height the follow
ing summer, the tips should be pinched of,
to prevent their growing taller, which will
cause them to become stout and thick, and
to send out SIDE Shoots which i'll turn
should also be pinched back when they
have grown a foot or SO in length, being
shorter above and longer below.
The Antwerp may be pinched back at
three or four feet, but usually this Is
omitted in which case they need stakes. "
Thus. three courses are practiSed: Firsf, no
runing second. pinciing back the growing
canes and their branches, and third, cutting
back in the spring, thu bearing canes and
their branches. -Vick's Magazine.

Do not plant tie stumps of cabbage to
grow seed from. You may thereby get cab
bage seed that costs nothing; but like most
other things got without expense it will be
worth even less than it costs. With crop
requiring so much labor as cabbage poor
seed is costly damage. The best seedsmen

Niger" At the Chicago races Silver Cloud
was not expected to win at all. But Ike
Murphy, the little colored jockey, wa upon
his back, ard he dashed in a length ahead of
Blue Wing.
The Chicago Herald says Of the scene that
followed:
GAS Murphy came In under the wire he
was greeted with a storm of applause, and
when he dismounted men ran up to him and
patted him on the back. One man in a blue
suit threw his arms around his neck as
though he was about TO chew his ear. The
great jockey was presented with a beautiful
saddle and was nearly borne off the track
by men who thought he would WIN and had
backed up their guesses with ~greenbacks
and coin
The result of the race was u surprise to
the knowing ones who had bet their money
on Blue Wing and Ben Ali. 1t was a sur
prise to Jockey Murphy, who said:
81 didn't expect the Eorse would win at all.
After he had run a mile he saw that he was
behind and then he began to sulk, That's
