Preparing Plants for Winter.

Winter protection is an absolute ne
cessity for growing small fruits success
fully in northern climate. 1t should
be practiced in every locality where the
temperature reaches zero or below.
With the high cultivation now prac-
ticed, large and tender growth is slim
uIated; hence the greater necessity to
maintain as uniform temperature as
possible throughout the winter.
Even in localities where plants show
no injury, and among those considered
most hardy, the vitality is often affected
and the succeeding crop very much
reduced.
The best winter protection for black
berries, raspberries and grapes, consists
in laying them down and covering
lightly with dirt.
All old canes and weak new growth
should be cut out and burned soon after
fruiting, leaving only strong, vigorous
plants.
If plants have been we'll mulched in
summer with green clover, clean straw
or coarse manure, as they should be,
less dirt is required by using this mulch
ing.
In laying plants down, the rows run
ming north and south, commence at the
north end, remove the dirt from the
north side of the hill about four inches
deep; gather the branches in close form
with a wide fork, raising it toward the
top of the bush and press gently to the
north, at the same time placing the foot
firmly on the base Of the hill, and press
hard toward the north.
If the ground is hard, or bushes old,
a second man may use potato fork in
stead of the foot, inserting same
deeply, close to south side of hill, and
press over slowly, bending the bush in
the root until nearly flat on the ground.
The bush is then held down with a
wide fork until properly covered. The
top of the succeeding hill should rest
near the base of preceding hill, thus
IudhIIS d COulIullOuS CON6IIDS.
This process is an important one;
but is easily acquired with a little
practice.
In the spring remove the dirt care
fully, with fork, and slowly raise the
bush.
With hardy varieties, and in mild
winters, sufficient protection may be
had by laying down and covering the
tips only. Grapes, being more flexi-
BILE, are laid down without removal of
dirt near the vine.
There is no more important work on
the fruit farm or garden than winter
protection, and there IS no work more
generally neglected. Let it be done
thoroughly, after frosts have come, and
before winter sets in.
Strawberries grow rapidly in October,
and make many weak plants. Remove
all runners starting this month, allow
ing four or five inches square for each
plant. This is necessary for best fruit.

urist.
