short. Our observation and experience
is that we often prune too closely even
when we think we are cutting them
rather long There are in most varie-
ties several buds on each lateral branch
nearest the main stem that very seldom
produce any fruit, often those nearest
the main stem remaining dormant
when properly, not severely, pruned.
There are also in many cases several
binds on the main stem, just above the
highest lateral branch, which has
slightly started TO grow in the fall, yet
did not make lateral branches. These
viii not produce any fruit The main
stem above the lateral branches should
therefore be left long enough TO secure
some good buds above the worthless
ones above mentioned; if not it may as
well be cut back TO the upper lateral
branch This applies 10 canes that
have been left to grow without summer
pinching, which, by the way, we like
best because the canes seem TO be less
liable to winter kill.
If the lateral branches are short and
stout, with large Plump buds clear to
the tips, they need very little pruning,
except when it is desirable to reduce the
humber of berries produced in order to
have them grow larger and finer, as
with such sorts as the Snyder, Taylor's
Prolific and Wilson's Early, which are
liable TO overbear if not pruned enough,
while Lawton, Kittatinny and many
Others of that class should be pruned
long, in order to secure a full crop. In

dead cane that bore fruit last summer.

The largest yield of very large and
fine blackberries we had last summer
was on cluster of chance seedlings
that had not been pruned; they grew in
a thick mass, three or four varieties in
enc large clump: the clusters of berries
were actually piled upon each other
with the weight of fruits, making il diff
fcult to gather them If you want
blackberries TO yield large crops do not
plant on rich soil; they are more hardy
and productive on rather poor or ele-
waited land Give clean shallow Gull

not least, don't prune too closely

commandments Goblin and stan Ar
rive From Camp Meade.
CINCINNATI, Ohio. Sept. AFTER the
rains OF yesterday and last night there
is no longer apprehension of prostra-
tiOn from heat during the national
encampment of the g. A. r. here this
week. The railways are bringing in
cxcursionists from every direction and
the local posts are kept busily engaged
In escorting the visitors to their quar-
tiers.
General Goblin, commander-in.chief,
came from Camp Alger by the way of
Camp Meade and has leave of absence
for six days only, so that he must get
back to Camp Meade by Saturday, Mt
which place he is to report ON his re-
turn. He was accompanied by the
following members Of his stat. Gen
cral Thomas j. Stewart, Major Charles
Williams, Colonel Charles Burrows,
Colonel j. II. Holcorub. Colonel J. +.
Lovett. Colonel X. Il. Beath and
others.
When the party arrived the O. A. r.
posts were arriving in bodies as fest
as the railways could get them into
the city, and there was a parade in
connection with the carriages OF tho
reception committee. General Goblin
and staff arrived while the big Labor
day parade was in progress and he was
most enthusiastically received all along
the line from the Pennsylvania depot
to the Grand hotel.
Although Camp Sherman was not
dedicated till 10 o'clock this morning
it was partially occupied by veterans
last night. Other tents pitched in the
parks were also used, and at all quar-
tiers will be we'll occupied tonight.
The reports Of the railways indicate
over 200, 900 tickets sold. While many
have arrived during the last two days,
these railway reports indicate a
greater influx the next two days than
was ever known before at these 4
tioual encampments.
The festivities Of tho week opened
early when the naval cadets formed at
o a. IN. to escort Rear Admiral Kelly
from the depot. The opening exer-
tioSS VI tht naval NctcTuuS, uuucr the
auspices OF the National Naval Veter-
ans association. occurred at 0 a. IN,
while the martial music of the q. A.
Il. posts vas heard in every part OF
the city, preparing for the dedication
of Camp Sherman and the reception at
lO:40 a. IN. of General Goblin, comman-
der-in-chicf, and his staff.
The National Soldiers home at Day
ton is less than sixty miles distant
and the veterans from hat institution
are taking active part. Those who
can participate in the parade will wear
khaki suits. the same as the Rough
Riders" 1t is estimated by Captain
Harry +. Feicht and Captain 7. j.. Ad-
kins that there will be 10, 900 people
here from Dayton.
Among the questions discussed Is one
to make all who engaged in the late
Spanish war eligible to membership az
comrades in tho ''old Grand Army"
The friends Of Colonel Albert d
