Small Fruits.

The National Nurseryman', suggests
that originators turn their attention to-
ward the improvement of the blackberry
and raspberry IN the line of reducing the
size of the seeds.
Grapevines, blackberries and raspberries
must be attended to in the winter. The
grapevines should be trimmed while the
winter is cold, and before the sap begins
to flow. The old wood of blackberries
and raspberries should be cut away,
cleared off and burnt The blackberry
borer should be looked after by cutting
ont all canes that have been attacked and
burning them.
At the late meeting of the Ohio Horti-
cultural Society, Prof. Green, of the state
experiment station, in report on new
fruits, stated that FL Dorado promised to
take place among standard varieties of
blackberries. 1t has endured tempera-
ture of IL degrees below zero, an6 is Ger
tainly harder than Lawton or Erie,
which it nearly equals in size of berry,

which are generally worthless, in that it
is vigorous and exceedingly prod uctivc.
The main crop begins to ripen with the

and the plant bears through very long

Hundreds of farmers raise chicks to
the age OF few weeks only to pro-
vide food for hawks and cats. 1t is a
fact that not one-third of the chicks
PATCHED ever reach marketable age,
end the loss of eggs for Matching, time
required by the hens for incubation
and care given, is too great for secur-
ing so few. 1t is difficult to raise
young chicks. even under favorable
conditions, az there are many draw
backs which cannot be seen or antici-
pated, but success is within the prov
ince of those who leave no opportunity
for loss. To allow the hens to come off
with broods, and drag the chicks over
the wet grass and compel them to travel
over wide areas, is to inflict them with
too much work and expose them to all
kinds OF enemies. Each hen should
be inclosed in small run. A lath run
two feet vide and four feet long, with
soap box at one end, affords an ex-
cellent protection. as the hen will be
confined while the chicks can go in
and out of the run at will. AS they will
go but short distance from the run
they will Zee for shelter on the ap-
proach of storms or OF enemies, as the
hen will always notice any danger and
warn them thereof.-Poultry Keeper
