We hear a great deal about summer
pruning or pinching the canes, but seldom
see it in practice. If the new canes of
the blackberry and raspberry are pinched
when they attain a sufficient height dur
ing the growing season and the laterals
also pinched back, they will become
very erect and stocky and will require
little, if any, pruning in the following
spring.
When this has not been done Orchard
and Garden advises cutting back fully
one-third and reducing the laterals to
about twelve or eighteen inches. While
this will somewhat retard their season
of ripening it will greatly increase the
quantity of the yield and the size of the
fruit. Finish the operation by tying the
canes snugly to the stake, or whatever
other support may be provided, and
spread a generous shovelful of well
rotted manure or compost around each
hill Of raspberries; the blackberries, if
in good soil, will not need any; in their
case too great fertility means a rank,
luXUTiant growth Of wood that will not
ripen sufficiently to withstand severe
weather, and so will winterkill.
Few people realize this, and it often
happens that a variety is unjustly con-
demned for lack of hardness when the
fault really lies in its improper treat
ment. In the cut-taken from Orchard
and Garden-we show the appearance in
early spring of two blackberry plants,
the young canes Of which were pinched
back last summer, and also of one as it
should appear after its final pruning in
spring.
Every spring place a good coating of
stable manure around the currant bushes,
for they are gross feeders and will well
repay liberal nourishment. Cut out old,
useless wood, let light and air freely into
the center Of the bush, and also cut back
the last years growth, causing the lower
buds TO start well.

tie. There Is also an improvement IN
| quality as well as an increase in num-
bers, and the large English and French
breeds are popular and in demand for
draught horses. In the territories horses
are found to be thrifty and profitable
stock for the range, and the establish
ment Of horse ranches has increased
their numbers.
The total increase appears to be nearly
half a million, of which the heaviest
ratios are in the territories and in Texas,
Kansas and Nebraska. There has been
slight increase in mules, and the num-
Der Of cattle of all kinds exceeds the esti-
mate of last year by more than million.
There appears to be slight further re-
duction in the number of sheep, but there
are evidences of reinsurance III the future
of sheep husbandry, and already in some
sections a slight increase is perceptible.
In the number of swine there is marked
increase, ample for meat supply and to
aid in the consumption of the large corn
crop of the past year.
On the whole the values of farm ami
mails, as reported by correspondents, are
but little changed from the returns of
January, 1888, but for the period begin
ming with 1880 the changes in the rela-
tive values Of the different classes have
been very marked. Since that year the
increase in the value Of horses per head
has been 81 per cent, and in mules nearly
80 per cent. Oxen and other cattle show
an increase Of 6 per cent. Sheep alone
show a decline in value during the ter
year period, beginning in 1880 with 1921
per head, and averaging now 50. IS, de-
cline of nearly 4 per cent. In 1880 the
average value of swine per head was re-
turned at $4.28, against $5.70 at the pres
ent time, with both higher and lower
valuations during the period.

The Leaning corn is a dark variety of
field corn that is attracting attention
Peter Henderson claims that it with
stands severe drought, attributable to its
earliness in maturing, strong and vigor
Gus growth and its stocky nature
James J. H. Gregory says: of all the
large southern varieties suitable for the
silo, last season settled the question in
the minds of those who tested it, that
the Leaning is the best. 1t is tall and
leafy, and the large ears will mature in
Central New England"
The ears are set low down, and nearly
always grow two to each stalk. The
cob is small and red, and the golden col,
ored grains are deep and long.
Henderson recommends Golden Dew
Drop as a trustworthy flint variety of
field corn for northern planting. It
grows quickly and natures early; is
eight-rowed, and resembles a little the
Canada yellow. The cob is white and
small. The stalks average six feet in
height.

SeasOnable Hints For the Berry Patch-Summer
Pruning of Raspberries and BlackberrieS
For Large Fruit.

One annual pruning is the usual rule
for blackberries, and this is generally
done in the spring. Comparatively little
pruning is necessary with the raspberry,
except to go over the patch after fruiting
and cut out close to the ground all of the
old canes. Some defer this operation
until the following spring. The bearing
canes ought to be pruned in the spring
by herding back the leading shoots and
shortening the lateral ones.

Blunt's Prolific Field corn, fine pro-

ensilage. Improved early yellow Can
ada is a good sort where seasons are
late. A popular variety of corn for
parching is the Nonpareil.

There are many examples of how
far talk goes in this world of ours.
It is very cheap, but it fills large
space. The takers outnumber the
doors, and most likely get more
credit than they. We do not always
trouble ourselves to look below the
surface, and so we take mems pro
testations for their practice. We
are quite too ready to praise the
men that talk and to overlook the
men that do. Worse than all, we
are ready often in our own thoughts
to give ourselves credit for more
virtue than we possess because we
can talk glibly of virtue when We
ere not SO particular about its exer-
else. Saying has its place, but do
ing is vastly better, even if it does
not make so much noise.
