BLACKBERRY PLANTS.

We hear q great deal about summer
pruning or pinching the canes, but seldom
zee Il In practice II the new canes Of
the blackberry and raspberry are pinchcd
when they attain sufficient height dur
ing the growing season and the laterals
also pinched back, they will become
very erect and stocky and will require
little. II 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 1t 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 generous shovelful of well
rotted manure or compost around each
hill Of raspbcrries; tho blackberries, II
In good soil. will not need any; in their
case too great fertility means rank,
luxuriant growth Of wood that will not
ripen sufficiently to withstand severe
weather. and 80 will winterkill.
Few people realize this. and It often
happens that variety is unjustly con-
demned for lack Of hardness when the
fnult really lies In its improper treat
ment. In the cut-tIken from Orchard
and Garden 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 1t
should appear after its final pruning in
spring.
Every spring place 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 mir freely into
the center of the bush. and also cut back
the last years growth, causing the lower
buds to start well

Renovating Steel Rails.

Some success appears to have attend
cd the recently devised process of max
ing old steel rails new. it having been
found, after various experiments, that
pieces OF steel may, Mt proper heat.
be perfectly and easily welded together
after being coated with a solution OF sill
cate OF Soda or other solution in which
silica is contained. Very satisfactory
results have been obtained by dipping
the pieces of steel to be welded into the
silicate solution, or by pouring it upon
them, then punching together the pieces
to be welded, heating them to an ordi-
nary heat. and passing them through
rolls. This is the process followed in
the case of large articles, but those oil
smaller description can be welded under
the hammer when treated previously
with the solution. Not only is this
method found applicable for reworkine
old steal rails and other heavy pieces
but it thus renders certain kinds o.
steel scrap highly serviceable which
formerly were almost worthless; and
the establishment OF an important in
dustry is regarded as practicable
namely, the treatment OF masses o.
steel with the silicate solution. on /,
large scale, placing them in the heat
ing furnace. and then passing then

College Boys on a FroIic.

Harvard students. anxious to get even
with the Boston police for some un-

through the streets bearing their
property. OF course they were soon
stopped by a policeman. Hello there,

them to the police station. whats

geant. ..Stealin' BARRIERS pole. y
Then the policeman gave detailed
account of the crime and the arrest OF
the criminals, who were about to be
sent to their dungeon cells, when one
OF them handed the sergeant the re-
ceipt. "Officer. you may return to
your beat" said the sergeant, and the
students filed out, bearing the pole
| proudly. Two blocks away another
policeman stopped them. Then fol
lowed the same dialogue, another ar.
rest, and the same scene at the station.
And so it went on until the young men
had been arrested six times. They
| might have been arrested twelve times
had not general notice been sent out
