The latest information to the effect that
England Is willing to submit its Vene-
zuelan claims to arbitration is so contrary
to her grasping policy that the truth of it
will be doubted unless some cause other
than is generally known be assigned for
this change of policy. Such reasonable
and Just decision on the part of England
was never brought about by the apathetic
attitude at Washington.

A gentleman in Fort Scott, Kan, who
knew New England as his home go years
ago and who recently made trip through
tho manufacturing centres of this part of
the country, writes the Journal on the
subject of the flax industry, querying why
it is that New England has never walked
to the possibilities of linen manufacture
He encloses samples of the flax fibre grown
in Kansas in that state, not for the fibre
but for the seed, the fibre being left to rot
upon the ground Thu samples enclosed
are of a fine quality, and he declares that
it can be raised in competition with the
product of Europe, including Russia
from which so much of this product
manufactured in Germany comes. He says
the Journal is the first new spaper he ever
read and 1t is the first to which he has
communicated his suggestions. Why can
not New England manufacture this pro
duct now going to waste In Kansass is the
question he asks and it is not an idle one.
The problem OF what to do with this
waste product Is not a new one. 1t has
puzzled the heads of those of long expert
,ence in the linen industry. Recent re-
ports from the national secretary of agri-
culture contained allusion to it. We wish
1t might be solved in the way he suggests.
And it docs not seem improbable The
flbre that rots upon the Kansas soil has
been regarded = unsuited to the needs Of

Pruning Raspberry Plants.

In sections where large quantities of the
Black Cap raspberries are cultivated there
has been a radical change within the past
ten years in the management of the plants
writes correspondent of American Agri-
culturalist, who tells that formerly the old
cases that produced fruit were not cut
out until the following spring. Now, how
ever, just as soon as the fruit is gathered
pruning is begun. The canes are cut off as
near the ground as possible, with hook
bladed Knife attached to an old hoe han
die The canes thus removed are carried
out and burned in a week or ten days, as
they dry very rapidly in September.
After the field is cleared from brush, the
space between the rows is plowed. Throw
ing light furrow up to and among the
new growth of canes allows the rain to
settle the earth firmly about the plants
keeping them in an upright position. No
other cultivation is given them until the
following spring, when after removing
some of the lateral shoots and perhaps
some of the top, the ground is narrowed
thoroughly The surface soil between the
rows should be level again. by this time.
On land moderately free from weeds three
civilizations from the opening of spring
until harvest time will prove sufficient
By this system of summer pruning the
new growth has better chance to develop
into more bushy and symmetrical plants,
and they also can and do absorb the
strength that would otherwise go to ma
ture the wood and ripen the leaves upon
the canes removed. The raspberry being
very exhaustive crop this early removing
all wood that has served its usefulness
should be promptly attended to. After
raspberries have reached the bearing age,
the second summer after planting, this
system is followed until the plants run
out which is IN about six years. much, of
course, depending upon the attention they
have received.
Red raspberries and blackberries should
receive similar treatment as regards prun-
ing and cultivation.

FertiIizing Fruit Trees.

Sometimes a chance remark sets one TO
thinking long after it is made, says the
Southern Stock Farmer. Last summer
while going through the orchard region of
Western New York, my companion re-
marked casually, as we commented upon
appearance of this and that orchard:
when 1 see a poor fruit orchard know
that the soil is poor and needs fertilizing.
The more 1 observed that state of fruit
trees the more l have become impressed
with the truth of the above quoted re-
mark. The orchards that produce the best
crops of fine fruit are always the best
manured or fertilized. 1t could not be
otherwise, and yet many farmers seem TO
expect fine trees and fruit from soils that
are craving plant food. Indeed. 1t is sur
prising how many orchards throughout
the country are suffering for the want of
proper fertilizer.
/ am inclined to think that too many
farmers try to grow hay or potatoes and
fruit in the same field. This is mistake.
The land should be reserved exclusively
for fruit. If the orchard is In grass, do
not take it off and sell it for hay. You
will make more money in the long run
If you allow the grass to decay upon the
ground. You will enrich still further the
or fertilizer in the spring.
When fruiting trees do not make suita-
BILE growth on the main shoots and do not
produce a fair crop of fair fruit, my ex-
perience tells me that the soil needs en-
riching, or cultivation, or both. Like 9TH
er annual crops trees need the application
of fertilizer with which to in
duce vigor of growth 1t is not
necessary to buy a fertilizer containing
the most costly element in fertilizer,
namely, nitrogen, as a rank and unfruit-
full growth is thus produced. You can
supplying the nitrogen the trees require
a a very small cost by raising leguminous
plants, such as red clover, COW peas. etc,
in the orchard These, when plowed I'M
der, will give the trees all the nitrogen
they need for healthy growth.
The next thing to do is to spread a top
dressing of about 800 pounds of fertilizer
containing 10 per cent. of phosphoric acid
and II per cent. of potash, TO the acre.
Then, If trees do not show vigor of growth
and fair yield, something else besides the
soil is the matter. Thus, it may be i'm
proper cultivation, pests, diseases, etc.
Indeed, the influence of fertilizing on
the health and fruitfulness of trees is now
engaging the attention of all export and
practical fruit growers. The subject is a
new one, but valuable results have been
observed, as for example, orange blight,
and similar diseases, are to a large extent
comfortable by judicious fertillzing.
