1t has not occurred to everybody that
the magnitude of Minnes0ta's prOverb-
tally great wheat crops has tended to
obscure from the eyes of the world
other important products. Yet it is
literally true, and TO give an exposition
OF the fact is the purpose of this article.
The first settlers in territorial days
never dreamed of agricultural greatness
save in the line of growing cereals.
They found the soil and the climate so
perfectly adapted to this pursuit that
they were content to devote their entire
energies to raising grains. Minnesota
wheat soon became famous the world
over.
Then the tide of emigration set in,
and broad acres were placed under sue
ceSSful cultivation. Then came the in
terruptiOn of the civil war, and with the
restoration of peace immigrants came
thousands following thousands with the
one aim in view-the production of
wheat. And it was exceedingly profit
able. Wheat brought 81 4 bushel and
upwards in the warehouses and eleva-
tors of the state, and no thought was
given to the question of other products,
beyond what was needed for home con-
sumption. being practical. Indeed, when
the subject was preached at all, the con-
census Of opinion was that diversified
farming must result in disaster.
But a change came early in the 70'S.

S MALL FRUITS.
All May Be Successfully Grown
in Minnesota.

While the horticulturists of Minnesota
have learned many things and made
considerable progress during the past
twenty-five years. there have been many
failures and disappointments. The
growing of apples is still a rather un-
C ertain experiment, but they have
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
smaller fruits''-grapes, currants,
gOOSeberries, blackberrieS and straw
berries-can all be grown successfully
and proftably all over the state.
One of the lessons learned has been the
fact that the worst enemy to combat is
drOuth, rather than cold, the drOuth OF
long, dry winter being more disastrous
than that of the summer. The checks
against this have been either artificial
irrigation or mulching, combined with
thorough preparation of the soil and
good cultivation during summer. laying
down and covering with earth, hay,
straw or corn fodder during winter.
Under this system it soon became APP
parent that the most desirable qualities
of variety were prOductiveneSS. VigOr
of growth, flavor and color. In the
earlier years all these were made sub
ordinate to hardness. e., power to
withstand six months of winter drouth
without any protection; but we know
better now.
With grapes, earliness of ripenng is
an important factor, as few days time
may some seasons make great differ
ence in the value of the crop. The space
allotted for this article will only allow
mention of some of the most impOrtan t
details of selection of sorts, time, place
and method of planting and cultivation.
Strawberries
of some kind will grow on any soil or
location, but the best for any of the
small fruits, except grapes, is a clay
loan with clay SubsOil, and where con
venlent northeast slope. Why? Be-
cause such soil and exposure is least
affected by drOuth The ground should
be planted to some hOed crop, like corn
or potatoes, or summer-fallowed,
marked deep; if not naturally rich, make
1t so with barnyard manure; fit it ready
for planting in the fall. AS early as
possible in the spring harrow the sur

dairy interest of Minnesota has done
much towards bringing about this ac-
tive condition in business.
A few of the citizens of st. Paul have
been unusually active in this interest,
and have encouraged progress ana de-
velOpment materially. Prominent
among these are James j. Hill, preSi-
dent of the Great Northern ROAD, and A.
B. Stickney. president of the Kansas
City railway systems. Many others
have materially aided and encouraged
the development of the dairy interest
as an important factor i'll diversified
farming, believing that through prac-
teal Introduction of diversity in farm
ing, the farmers of Minnesota would
very soon become entirely independent,
and through their improved condition
every other interest in the state would
be benefited. These railroads have

warded by generally increased rev.
enue by the rapid development of di-
versilied interests which has greatly in
creased the traffic.
The chamber of commerce has already
shown its appreciation of this interest
DN appointing committees 10 U6NlSS OIL
a system for distributing information TO
sections of the state where diversity of
farming has not been practically intro
duced. No more important work could
be engaged in. and the investment must
surely be paid with satisfactory results.
The farmers are ready to adopt this
system, but are simply waiting for more
light and a better knowledge of the
methods necessary to its Introduction.
All of the railroads leading out of St.
Paul are providing splendid refrigerator
accommodations for the safe handling
of these delicate products, and every
effort is being made 10 make this inter
est prominent. During the year 1855
not less than four or five million dollars
worth OF dairy products were handled
by dealers i'll St. Paul alone, and soon

1t is noticeable and important fact,
of which we are proud, that already the

results to our state it is imperative that

this method of advertising our Mime

and this does not include the cOnsump-
ton of milk. During the present year
2,7l1. 9S5, 900 pounds of milk have been
produced in The state, aggregating a
value of Sl5,371, $40.
OF course, an important amount of
this quantity of milk entered into the
manufacture of the dairy products that
are included in this compilation, and
hence the total should not be added to
the other entire.
Dairying a Success.
These figures should be sufficient TO
remove every vestige of doubt concern
ing climatic difficulties encountered in
this state in the dairy business. Thou
sands of farmers who are engaged in
the pursuit came to Minnesota from the
Eastern and Middle states, and
they agree that the conditions here
are of a high and favorable order
They find the business highly prOfta-
bic. and it is always certain. But dairy
farms are seldom conducted to the eX-
cluslon of other products. The more
thrifty and successful dalrymen engage
largely in mixed farming. They have
planted trees for shelter against driving
prairie winds and built comfortable
and cOmmOdiOuS barns and stOckyards,
and they grow all sorts of produce i'll
large amounts. and, while there are few
indeed who do not raise quite extensive
crops of cereals, as well as vegetables

plant by the crown, straighten the roots,
and place in the hole with the roots
spread out like fan, the crown of the
plant even with the surface of the
ground; then place the spade back three
or four inches and down below the
longest root. draw it forward firmly,
pressing the soil against the roots their
entire length. This firm setting of the
plants is very necessary. Cultivate
every week, keeping the surface mel
low and free from weeds. When run
nerS start throw them along the rows,
forming matted rows eighteen inches
wide. Then mulch between the rows
with slough grass or straw that
is free from weed seed; do this the last
OF august or early in September.
After the Ground
freezes cover all with grass. straw, corn
stalks, leaves or any litter that will
hold the snow and shelter from wind
and sun. In early spring rake the
mulch off the plants. leaving it between
the rows. Every bit of ground should
be covered with plants or mulch. Nine
years out of ten this treatment will Sc

Prepare the ground as for strawber-
rieS. Set either fall or spring, three and
4 half or four feet apart, i'll rows seven
or eight feet apart; if set in fall put
fork full of hay or straw over each
plant. Begin to cultivate early and
keep it up all summer, wet or dry. The
first year cut out the old stalks as soon
as the fIuit has been gathered. The last
of October or first of November lay flat
on the ground and cover with dirt. 70
do this easily loosen the dirt around the
roots with spading fork, taking out
one fOrkfal ef~dirt on-the-north side of
the hill, then grasp the canes firmly,
spring up on them, and then draw them
over to the north. They will bend in
the root and come down without break
ing. Uncover in April and tie to wires
stretched two feet from the ground and
fastened to stakes every fifteen
or twenty feet. For plants use
the well-matured suckers from
plants not over two years Old.
Pinch off the new canes when they are
two and half to three feet high. Allow
two or three canes TO grow. the first
year, after that from three to six, ac-

canes will be better than a half dozen

Currants and GooseDerries


grown.
Currants and GOOseberries
require rich soil. plenty of room, and
either clean cultivation or mulching
sufficient to keep down all weeds or
grass. The soil and climate are so we'll
adapted to their growth that if kept
free from weeds and grass they always
bear fruit. but to secure the best results
the young growth should be thinned
out in May, allowing only three to five
new shoots to hill.
They are easily propagated from cut
tings made any time from September
until May, or from layers. They may
be planted either fall or spring four feet
apart in rows eight feet apart.
After the fruit has been gathered, cut
out all black wood or any that is af-
fected by bOrers or other insects and
burn 1t; work plenty of well-rOtted sta
bic manure around each hill. Ashes
are very beneficial; they may be used
in the proportion Of four quarts to each
hill.
The Red Dutch currant is one of the
very best for general cultivation, the
White Dutch the most valuable white.
Black currants are not much grown,
and are more popular in nursery cata-
table. HOughtOn Seeding has TINS far

ground that has been worked deep.
Give the same cultivation as recon-
mended for. raSpberries, only do not
loosen the dirt around the roots in lay

Every person who has a dozen grape
vines ought to have book on the prun-
ing and care of grape vines. The best
published in the Northwest are the re-
ports of the Minnesota State Horticult-
ural society. Every farmer and gar
dener in the state ought to have the re-
ports and the grape vines.
The Concord and Delaware are the two
standard varieties by which all others
are measured, and, while another variety
may excl these in some point, it is sure
to be lacking in some other. If farmer
or gardener only wants ten or a dozen

two.
