NOTES BY RAMBLER.

nAoe' An bour's ride on my wheel
last hight took me from one fruit
ranch 10 another. The strawberry
patches are ttill yielding choice fruit.
Cherries and currsnts are ripening
only too fast. At Prf Paryin's place
the boys were working 10 their straw
berries. They grow Wilson, Shsrpless
and Jessie on red laud, and have sold
100 quarts of Of about Of au acre,
I planted between rows Of trees. They
viii pick several hundred quarts more.
The red hill land, 20 my taste, produces
higher favored, redder, sweeter berry,
earlier and more Of them than the fat
land. Mrs. Parvin says she put cup
OF sugar oyer two hesplng quarts of
berries and puts them in the oven un-
til they come to q boiling heat. Then
she puts them in the can and seals
them up. They keep their color and
L
shape and look very pretty, make their
own syrup and keep their flavor. She
prefers Sharpless put up that way to
any variety. They are not az firm as
the Wilson. but not az sour. Mr.. Par.
wins young trees are loaded down with
fruit and no one can go over it and not
conclude thst 10 two years qnlte sn
improvement can be made out OF
brush land and stone heap.
Uncle John Hart invested in seven
acres next to the cemetery and las
put up good comfoItrble house. He
was told he could not raise potatoes ON
the new land, but went ahead ard
cleared out the brush aud has as q ne
stand Of potatoes as ever delighted the
heart OF an IIshman. His "Murphies"
are blooming In June where In April
the trees we're hundred feet high.
He Ia a tough son OF Erin physical y
and at the age OF seventy put great dig
ho1s OF mortar onto the board for Mr.
Hansen, who plastered the stuff
on. Mr. Hansen IL an old settler and
lives upon the bill His SOUS, Andrew
and Paul work at Ira Erb's sash aud
door factory. Mr.. Hansen il Dare
and remarked that the Danes were
the greatest butter makers.
"And the Germans make the beer"
said Hart.
"Aud Ireland furnishes us the poll
ticians," added.
