The Season Well Opened.
This year the racing season opened with
the sixth annual canoe regatta of the
to which canoeists look forward from
year to year The races were held off
the grounds of the club on Gravesend
Bay, June 18th. The club challenge cup
treal. This excited some interest, in
view of the fact that the Canadian had
challenged for the International Canoe
cup.
A few days later July 9Th. came the
great event of the canoeing season,
namely, the first of the series of races
for the International Challenge Cup. This
cup was offered by the New York Canoe
club as a perpetual challenges sailing
trophy in 1885. The next year two En-
gliShmen, Lieut.. Baden-PoWell and Wal
ter Stewart, of the Royal Canoe club,
London, came over here TO take the cup
home with them. But they failed to cap
ture the coveted prize. In 1888 Walter
Stewart came over alone and again he
went back empty-handed. Three times,
dian sailor, challenged for the Interna-
tIonal cup, and each time he was ds-
feated by a crack American sailor.
Inc sixth OF the series of races for the
Interna tional Challenge cup resulted IN
defeat for the challenger Mr.. Paul But
Ter, of Lowell, Mass, who was chosen
10 Qe1end the trophy, gave good account
OF himself. He won the first race, lost
the second by fuke, and won the third

THAYER'S BERRY BULLETIN FOR
AUGUST 1897

A berry plant in yielding it's fruit
maturing its seed and producing new
growth, is much exhausted. In fact
the life of each bud, stem and cane, is
given in this effort The maturity of
fruit buds on new canes, comes after
this exhausting work, and unless good
care is continued to develop and per-
feet the same, the succeeding crop is
greatly impaired. The natural moiS-
ture, too, is much less at this season,
and must be retained in the soil by
frequent shallow cultivation The
strong canes must be stimulated by
removal of the weak ones, and all sur
plus growth cut away.
Remember, the care given fruit
plants this season, practically deter
mines the product next, both in quail
ity and quantity. Never allow your
interest I'M the fruit garden to lessen.

NEW YORK, July 1S95.-The annual
meet of the American Canoe association.
which is to begin Aug. 9, directs attention
once more to the great progress and pop
ularity of canoeing in America. The
unique association held its first meet in
the summer of 1886 at Crosbyside park on
Lake George, where some twenty lovers
of the sport and jolly good fellows came
together and decided to form a pernla-
nent organization. Since then the A @.
A. has not failed to hold an annual meet,
and from a mere handful it has grown
into a large and powerful association of
2,4O0 members, with authority over rs
canoe clubs.
The American Canoe association is di-
yided into four grand divisions, as fol-
lows: Atlantic division, which includes
the waters of the middle Atlantic sea-
board from the Hudson river to the Po-
tomac, has thirty clubs and nearly 500
members; Central division. which in
cludes the waters of New York, Ohio and
the western states, has thirty-two clubs
and $50 members; the Eastern division,

FARMING WITHOUT GRAIN RAISING

1t needs no argument to prove that
raising grain in the United States to
sell at the present prices does not
pay. Times and conditions change,
and we must change with them. We
cannot continue to raise grain and sell
it at a lass, and all the time decrease
the fertility of our soil; but we must
resort to other crops, such. as pota-
toes and the produce of the garden
apples, pears, peaches, berries and the
like crops. Potatoes are always in de-
mand, and if we could produce but
100 bushels per acre and sell at SOC
per bushel, it would pay much better
than so bushels of wheat at the same
price. 1t matters not how large your
farm is, you need not raise any grain
to sell, and still make more money
than you now do raising it. Keep
good mich cows. Their product is
always in demand, if put upon the
market in good shape. Keep any
other stock that pays best in your
particular section, to take the pas
ture which you do not cut for hay.
Ascertain which pays best in your
neighborhood, to produce eggs or
chickens for market, and procure the
breed best suited to the demand
Select some location sloping south
east, and place thereon two colonies
hives. This will be enough until you
learn how to manage them With
smoker and veil you need not fear to
handle the most vindictive colony.
With good management and fair
season, you should get fifty to seventy
five pounds of comb honey per colony.
and find a ready sale for it at 1Oc. per
pound. The bees will pollenize fruit
and clover blossoms, producing more
fruit and seed. To keep farms in
grass when changing location, for po-
tatoes or other crops, sow the soil
TO clover or timothy when the crop
is harvested, and NOW it the next
harvest Should you prefer, sow to
crimson clover in early fall, and plow
the clover under the next spring, in
time for your crop. You will be sur
prised to see the growth it will make
during warm spells in winter and
spring, when other clovers are doing
nothing. 1t is one of tlls best fer
tilizers you can raise. Finally, watch
for leaks on your farm. Save all man
ure. Create a home market, and as
certain its demands. Read books and
papers treating on the above subjects.
Mix brains with labor, and you will
