1T won't be very long before Michigan

c. p. Andrews, of Lansing, Mich, after

there that grow in any northern climate,

many of the small fruits are the finest in
the world.
THE cultivation of the cranberry has
materially increased in the last twelve
years There are now thousands of acres
of marsh land in the State that are espe-
cially adapted to this crop, and the crop is
always profitable. The homegrown ber-
ries will, i think, in short time supply
the demand of the West, and when the mag
