Raspberres.-The raspberry delights in

not DO well on low wet soils, without
drainage. The red varieties should be set

plants are scarce. Thus IL takes either

the canes when foot high. which causes
the bush to branch and grow stocky like
a tree. The second year mulch with
straw around the bushes and cultivate
the middles to keep down weeds and the
ground moist. Pinch the canes back

and cut the laterals back early in the
spring before fruiting. This rigid prun-
ing makes the fruit larger Remove dead
canes after fruiting and maintain level
culture. About 200 to 500 plants should be
set for an ordinary family supply of the
different varieties.

there is nothing prettier which will more
quickly cover a large space than the Co
baea scandens. Give 1t good rich soil,
plenty of moisture and a warm atmos-
phere and you will be surprised at the

The Making and Management of

Tt only difference between a ''cold-
frae' and a "hot-bed" is that In the

tbs bottom heat is usually created by the
u of horse manure that has been got

ater being frmed down in the bed. In the
lrger establishments of the north, where
liant growing is unremittingly carried on
the winter, this bottom heat is eco
pmically supplied by hot air or hot water.
FOR amateurs, however, stable manure is
the usual material for warming up the
soil in winter or early spring.
Here in the SOUTH below the 34th de-
gree of latitude, and on the coast, even
higher, there is really little need for hot
btds. for If cold frames are properly made

This variety of fruit tree. as grown by
the various nurserymen who furnish
them, says Alex Raft in Florida Agricul-
turist, are nearly all budded or grated on
the Mariana plum, being considered the
best suited for that purpose, although l..
Normand, of Louisiana, who is one of our
best authorities on the management of the
Japan plum, has of late years discarded
the Mariana as a stock for grating upon,
claiming that trees grown on it are short
lived and soon die. He Is now using the
peach as a substitute, but il Is yet very
doubtful If the change will prove to be
successful.
For the past three years / have been
growing the Japan plum from its own
cuttings; they made a growth the first sea-
son of from five to seven feet. 1t was sim
ply an experiment with me- as was under
the impression that the cuttings from the
Japan plum would not root; but they did
root splendidly, making mass OF fbrous
roots very much resembling those of the
fig. The following season set out sixty
Japan plumS, one half of which were
those grown on their own roots, and the
other half were on Mariana stocks. They
have now been two seasons in the orchard,
and on examining them recently | find that
every one of those that are on their own
roots have made an excellent growth,
while those that we're grown on Mariana
stock ten per cent. are dead. OF course.

Stable Manure.

Economy in the use of stable manure
demands that it should be handled only
once. For certain purposes in garden cul-
ture it is desirable to make up some of
the best of it into good compost, but, as
a. rule, the bulk of such manure should
be hauled out and applied either broad
cast or with burrows late in the fall.
Broadcast application is the best, but as
there are some crops that do well on such
manure when applied in the furrow, it
may be made to so further in the way
of making a first crop by putting i in
the drill. But for our ordinary farm crops
cotton, corn and misunderstanding is
usually to be recommended. In proportion
to its bulk it may be esteemed a very
weak fertilizer compared with most ma
nurial substances, and it may be very
eXtravagant formsof manure to use If it
had to be purchased and hauled any great
distance. But when made on the farm,
and coming as a waste product after hav-
ing supplied animal force 1t cannot be
considered as costing anything beyond the
expense of applying it to the land. We
should not underrate its values as a fer
tilizer neither should we exaggerate it,

that Judge Nathan Cot will be ele-
waited to the United States Supreme
Court in short time is given color
BY several circumstances. One OF
these is that he is disposing Of many
of his business interests about the

Another Is that Governor Atkinson
has announced to few Of his closest
political friends his intention to be a
candidate for Senator Faulkner's seat
in the United States Senate in the
event of Republican success. 1t is
believed that the Governor would not
have entered the race if Judge Golf
were a candidate. Judge Golf friends
say his promotion to the Supreme
Bench will occur about the first Of
next year His withdrawal from the
senatorial race would leave ii open to
a number OF aspiring Republicans

Cannot Fix r. z. Rates.

Yesterdays decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States to the
effect that the interstate commerce
commission has no power to prescribe
railway rates denies to the commission
power which it has long desired to
exercise. The court holds that the
commission may not prescribe rates
for the future 1t cannot make
schedules for the companies But it
may, it seems, pronounce an existing
rate unfair and order a change. In
other lines of business the proprietor
is conceded the right to charge for
his service enough to pay the cost
and little over fos profit. Steam
boat companies using rivers which are
public property charge such prices as
they can get and if they cannot make
a profit are allowed to quit running
their boats There has been a dis
position in some quarters to apply
different rule to railways-to require
them to run without profit, or even
at loss. They have acquired their
roadbed by using the States power of
eminent domain" it is true. but
having paid for it, they ought, it is
claimed, to be treated by the public
as literally as the steamboat COM
panies which use the public water
ways without paying for them. To
give the interstate commerce COM
mission the power to fix rates, with
out being under obligation to consider
the right of their paid-up capital to
profit, would be, it seems,
to authorize it to conhscate railroad
property. A reasonable" railroad
rate would seem to be rate that
would give a reasonable" rate Of
profit on actually invested capital,
that is to say, on unwatered stock
and reasonable interest on bonds.
At present very few railroads pay any
return at all on their paid-up capital
and some pay little or nothing on
bonds. - Baltimore Sun.

wash it may be we'll to know how to
make a wash that will stick and be
white. The following is a good re-
cipe: To every gallon of water add
one quart of lime and one gill of salt.
Stir the mixture constantly until it is
thoroughly Stacked, then let it stand
until it is cold-say for twenty-four
hours. This makes putty ready for
use. Then to every gallon of putty
add one gallon of water. If the wash
be found too thick add more wafer.
