SMALL FRUITS.

The cultivation Of small fruits in
Hancock county is. in my opinion, one
OF the most profitable, and healthful,
and one of the most neglected indus
tries Of farming. The cause. l attrib-
ute mainly. is because it is a compare
lively new industry, and the people
have not awakened 10 the full realization
of these facts. They need to be edu-
Gated in the matter, but how? Not
by preaching. for those will not come
to listen whom We desire to benefit
Not through the press, for the head
ings of our articles only will be read
by those not interested in the subject
There is but one etfectual method and
that is by example-ohiect teaching
the same as with little child unable
to comprehend the most simple Ian
guage. There are many problems for
progressive fruit growers There are
men in every state on the continent
who are studying, experimenting, in
vestigaiiug. digging up advanced ideas
How shall individuals, widely separated.
be benefited if not by communication
through the press. by attending horli-
cultural meetings, or through reports
of such gatherings!
STRAWBERRY.

berry king of America, says. God
might have made better berry than
the strawberry. but He never did" No
