Growth of Raspherries.

The Prairie Farmer gives in sub
stance the following directions in the
management and growth of raspber-
ries: Raspberries grow from young
canes that spring up in gardens annual
ly The old ones die out when they
have furnished their crop All the
pruning then required is to cut out the
dead or old wood and shorten the young
canes. This is often done in the sum
mer, and the canes shortened until they
are about three or four feet high.
When grown as bush no stakes are
required, though in this form they can
not well be protected, if of a tender
kind, by laying down. When grown
the old-fashioned way, the tender kinds
are laid down, covered with soil, and
thus secured from frost. The preced-
ing gives in few words what is often
made to occupy half a column. The
cap varieties require different treat
ment

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Do NOT manure against the roots in
planting.
LIME and wood ashes make good
fertilizer for old orchards.
NEWLY planted grape vines should be
allowed to grow only one shoot.
THE principal object in pruning is to
let air and light freely into all parts of
the top
THE best pruning is that which rare
ly if ever calls for the removal of
large branch.
If properly stored, seed of cucumbers
and squash 2 or 3 years old are better
than fresh ones
THE fruit of old trees is usually richer
and more highly favored than that
from young ones.
SLOW growing trees or vines should
be set on richer soil and fast growing
ones on the poorer ground.
OUNCE trees are ornamental in flow
er and fruit. They are sure bearers and
the fruit is always marketable.
WITH no experience in fruit grow
ing or market gardening do not rush
too largely in at first; go into it by de-
grees.
WITH some crop, slike onions, it is
often best to use commercial fertilizers,
in order to avoid the weed seeds in sta
bic manures.
ALLOWING the dead limbs to remain
or the trees only robs the live part of
needed sap and greatly Injuries the fruit

PLANTING PEAR TREES.
The Kinds Which Are Most Profitable 70
the Average Grower.

The Kinds Which Are Most Profitable for
the Average Grower.
Never plant pear trees on wet soil.
Do not be afraid to manure them, for
you cannot produce large and luscious
pears on starved trees. Do not let them
run too near the sky, but prune back
some every year. If this is done in
June and July it will induce fruitful
ness in trees that are tardy bearers.
OF all the early kinds Tyson is my
favorite. 1t is almost free from blight
and for beauty and delicate flavor it is
scarcely equaled. Seckel is also nearly
dwarf or standard. 1t bears well
and for sugary richness and high flavor
is equal to the best Howell is another
favorite and is dependable bearer,
but the fruit is too soft for market.
Sheldon should not be forgotten, as it
is one of the best of the fall varieties.
Bartlett is too well known to be de-
scribed and should be planted either
for home or market use- Anjou is
about the best Of the winter kinds, ex-
cept it be Lawrence. AL these are well
tested and OF high qualities almost
every way. Those who want 10 make
money regardless of giving offense to
those who really know what good
pears are should plant Kieffer. 1t will
pay IA almost any market, and when
cooked with sugar is quite good. lie
Conte is almost tasteless, but in the
south it pays for market Prof L. H.

SMALL FRUIT FARMING.

When Wisely Conducted the Industry
Pays Fair Profits.
The Philadelphia Record says: To
make q speciality of small fruits is to
use less land. give the best of cultiva-
ton and apply manure and fertilizers
literally. Instances have been known
where as much Is 81 600 per acre have
been secured from one acre of straw
berries, bat such results are an excep-
ton In this soctSou the experienced
growers do not walt until the season
opens, but begin work as soon as the
condition of the ground permits. If
manure Is TO be used, nothing that is
coarse is placed ON the ground, only
material being used If fertilizers are
resorted to they are used before the
young sprouts begin to shoot out, and,
if possible, the rows are cultivated, the
object being to have the plant food
within reach of the young plants at a
time when they need it most
In order to give the young plants a
start the land Is made rich, and they
arc transplanted rs early as possible,
so as to give them the advantages of the

terferes with their growth, but cuts the
crop from the old bed shoot The
greatest enemy of the strawberry is the
weeds. 1t is easy enough to keep
them down between the rows, and if
the bed is matted IN wide row hand
pulling must be resorted to, but If the
young plants are well worked the first
year, and the space between each plant
kept clean, the weeds can be kept
down so as to protect the matted rows
the second year. The young plants
may be put out in rows wide enough to
permit of horse culture, and should be
foot apart in the rows Later in the
season they will throw out runners,
which will cover every square inch of
space in the rows. The plants that are
set out this spring will bear full crop
next spring.

Fungus spores in seeds.

Some fungous diseases of fruits and
vegetables live over winter in the
seeds. This is especially true of the
bean anthracnose. and possibly also of
the watermelon rot. The fungus spores
in the seeds may be killed by soaking
for an hour in a solution of three
ounces of copper carbonate in one
quart of ammonia and diluted with
four and half gallons of water. This
is somewhat similar TO the treatment of
oats and wheat preparatory to sowing

AS stated in yesterdays EVENING
JOURNAL the members of Tonti are
greatly stirred up by the order for the
21O assessments aggregating S525 levied
all at once.
1t is alleged that there is no warrant
I'm the charter. constitution or by laws of
the order by which it can create or call
for debit assessment, and that It was
called by the Supreme Executive Com.
mittee, during a recess Of the Grand
Lodge, for the purpose Of reducing the
value Of the certificates, of the members
at the time of maturity, and thus
to reduce the obligations Of the order aud
force out large number Of the members
who will not submit to the assessments
or will be compelled 20 forfeit what they
have already contributed, so that the
assets of the order will be increased for
the benefit Of those who remain In. There
are now about 10000 members Of the
order, and, the bill says, a debit assess
ment Of $525 on each certificate Of 81 600
would Just about make up the deficiency
between its obligations and its assets, II
It could be collected. and allow IL to
maintain an apparent solvency, when the
fact is that It cannot meet its present
liabilities

Tonti, whose Office is in Philadelphia,
/. we're a busy set yesterday There Is
every prospect that the $525 assessment
will produce a big storm about the heads
Of those who ordered Il. The following
circular has been hurried to the lodges IN

order in other places:
The management Of the affairs Of the
Order Of Tonti for the next two years
devolves upon the Supreme Executive
/ Committee, and this committee, as now
constituted, has made an exhaustive
examination of the condition of the
order The committee has determined the
maturing obligations, and sought legal
advice Guided by this knowledge advice
and the laws Of the order, the com
mittee has called debit assessments
upon all certificates issued prior to
/ August 90, 1898, snd maturing after
May 3. 1894 Notice Of the call dated
