BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE.
The Anniversary Made Holiday
of in Cleveland.
THE CITY WAS DRESSED IN GALA ATTIRE.
Pery's Monum.nt covsrsd with Flags

Other Incidents.

CLEVELAND. o., Sept. io.-The anni-
versary of the battle of Lake Erie was
made holiday in this city. The ma
jorily of the shops aud factories closed,
and the city put on gala dress for the
occasion. Commodore Perry's monu-
ment in Wade park was covered with
flags and flowers. Atthe foot was placed
an elaborate floral vessel bearing the
inscription: Don't give up the ship.
Great numbers of visitors from mort h.
ern Ohio, many Of whom remembered
the dedication of Perry's monument in
1860, came to the city on the early
trains. The visitors from New En-
gland wondered that this monument
had been taken from the public
square in the center of the city and
placed in an outlying park. The
day was ushered in by the booming
OF cannon. Gov. Bushnell OF Ohio
presided at the morning exercises in
the o. n. q. armory. The immense
building was well filed, many Of the
audience coming from the east. Gov.
Bushnell suggested that congress
ought to appropriate money to erect
monument on Put-in-Bay island to the
memory Of the men killed in the bat
Tie of Lake Erie. IF the general gov
ernment is not able to do it, he said
"the state of Ohio ought TO do it."

1t is difficult to present general list
equally suited for all sections and for

amateur, or home grower. are entirely
different from those of the shipper, and
many varieties which succeed splendidly
in one locality prove total failures in
neutrality-suspicious. only a few counties

made must be regarded as based only on
the experience of this Station, which
may be more or less inapplicable to
other localities

son, Meeks' Early and Michel. Hoffman
is the most valuable. as it is the most
productive, very early berry of fair size.
Lady Thompson is larger and finer, tut
not quite so early. Michel and Meeks
are quite small, the latter the smallest
OF the valuable berries, but its quality Is
unsurpassed, and is only approached by

OF its unproductiveness.

EXPERIMENT, GEORGIA.
Fodder Pulling.
BY THE DIRECTOR. I


1ne time is near at hand when thi:
characteristic detail of Southern farm.
ing Will be in order. Whether it pays
to pull fodder, or no, is O question often
discussed The Station has made 8
number of experiments to determine the
relation between cost of labor and value
Oh the resulting fodder, in connection
with the injury to the grain. The re.
suits are not uniform. Some years the
value OF the fodder, less the labor of
saving it, is greater than the value
OF the cornslost by the operation The
following is e-produced from Press Bull.
letin No. 4, January, 1854:
THE EFFECT OF PULLING FODDER.
This is popular" experiment-the
question being often discussed, pro and
con. among farmers. In 1890 "a similar
experiment resulted in grain of 81. &c
per acre in favor of pulling fodder, the
loss OF 2.OS bushels Of corn per acre
the result of pulling the Understanding
been more than compensated by the
yield OF 4l6 pounds of fodder per acre
from the same plots. In 1891 the ex.
pertinent resulted in loss by pulling
fodder Of $0.05 per acre.
RESULTS
The rows from which the fodder was
pulled yielded 1853 bushels of corn per
acre less than the rows not pulled; but
the pulled rows yielded 665 pounds of
cured fodder per acre. The Summary
following the table shows the account
as 1t stands being 81. Ga per acre in favor
OF pulling fodder"
CONCLUSIONS. /. On fresh land. -
or soil Astounding i'll vegetable matter
Gas bottom land) the injury to the corn
resulting from stripping the blades is
more than compensated by the net yield
OF fodder On such soils the yield of
fodder is generally larger, relatively to
the yield OF corn, than on old and thirst
soils, and much larger amount can be
saved in day.
2. The results--one year with another
do not favor the pulling Of fodder, as
general rule of farm practice; and it
Is only expeuient under the most favor
able circumstances. 1t is better to pro-
vide crop OF hay grass, or pea vines,
the moving of which will generally be
found much more profitable labor.
NOTE. The best practice where it il
resolved to pull fodder" is to strip the
blades from, and including the ear
blade, downward. at about the usual
time of pulling; and III week or ten
days cut off the top stalks and cure
them. This is more expeditions and
adds largely to the yield of fodder.

Propagation of Raspberrles.

w. D. B., Atlanta. Ca: How are rasu-
berries propagsted? Will blackcaps run
out if left tS themselves?
ANSWER by II. n. STARNEs, Eorticult-
urist.
Raspberries of the Strigosus or red
type propagate by suckers from the
root, and generally many more suckers
will appear than will be necessary to
furnish bearing canes for the next sea-
son. An ideal culture would require
good, strong canes to be left at regular
intervals of 3 feet in the row, such canes
to ba shortened in, as they appear, to
about two feet, and the laterals, which
put out later, again shortened back, in
order to present a strong. stocky cane
with short, branching lat "als-one
that will sustain its own weight and
yet afford abuBdant wood for fruit set
ting. AS matter of fact it will be i'm
possible to locate canes at even distances,
and hence, in practice, it is customary
to leave convenient canes between the
old stools wherever they can be best To-
Gated, shortening them back during
the growing season. as described.
All surplus canes (of the present
years growth) should be thinned out as
they appear. IF suckers are wanted.
however, to plant elsewhere, they may
be left until fall. During the winter
the old wood should be cut out, leaving
only the matured canes of the past sum
mer's growth for bearing the following
spring.
With r. GccidentoliS or Black Caps the
method of treatment is different This
species propagates not by suckers, but
by 'tips"-that is to say, the tips of the
canes strike root and produce new
plants, either naturally, by accidental
contact with the ground, Or artifcially.
by being bent over and shovel full of
cirt being thrown ON the cane to hold it
in place till it strikes root. Sometimes
the shoot is pinned down with wire or
wooden hooks, but the easiest and quick
est way Is to weight down with pound
or two of soil.
Black Caps will perpetuate themselves
without layering for few years by
sending up shoots, not from the latera.
roots like the red species, but from the
crown of the old stool; but if the CID
stools are not renewed by layering, they
will deteriorate in course of time
just as strawberries do when all the run
ners are removed. The practice at the
station with Black Caps is to leave one
cane to each stool unpYuned, for layer
ing-otAer canes are cut back to form
bearing wood. In this way new stools
may be established each year iuterme
diately with the old stools.

Tennessee Vans.

The variety under this name propa-
gated by the Georgia Experiment Sta
ton was obtained from Dallas, Tex,
three years ago, and is a round leafed OF
shouldered variety, and not split leafed
or palmate. A split leafed variety I'M
der this name is grown and described
By the Texas Experiment Station, but it
Is entirely distinct from that we are
cultivating, and is probably identical
with the variety which is being dissem.
mated by S. L. G. Bedingfeld, Bethle-
hem, Ga, as Tennessee Yam. What its
merits are we cannot say. never having
grown it.
The first year we grew the round
leafed Tennessee Yam we found it

forty kinds) and of excellent quality.
Last season i: was second in product
lveness but its quality and appearance
