large share Of the effort to reclaim
and replant marshes with the cram
berry vine have been largely expert

ments have proved failures, in whole
or In part. The causes of these fail
ures are various. Some have planted.
in grass, which was not kept down;
others have planted in marshes of no
depth, with no supply Of water to keep
them wet, and hence have failed of the
vtshed-for or expected results; while
others have planted in marshes not
adapted to the growth of the plant, or
on such as are flowed with lime-water,
or are SO much occupied with other
plants as to choke out the cranberry

great enemy of the cranberry is sage.
. plant common to all marshes natur-
ally adapted to cranberry culture. This
plant increases rapidly, under favor
able circumstances, by sending out sto-
lens when the marsh is dry and in
proper condition for the rapid growth
OF the cranberry vine. Hence, all lands
which are to be planted with the cram
berry should be cleared from sage, and
nearly so from grass or other plants,
especially the small brake or fern that
sometimes infest these marshes.
All intelligent cultivators agree as to
the Importance of scalping marshes
that are to be planted to vines. These
turf scalpings may be turned over, or
rolled up. then dried and burned or
drawn off in winter to the compost
heap. If they are to be burned, the
scalping should be done early enough

vines may be planted. The best mode
of planting have yet discovered is to
cut into the bog with an adze. A spade

handled. would, think, be good tool
to make the cuts with. With either
of these tools make a slanting cut,
leaving the slice so that it can be
raised with one hand and with sthe
other slide the bunch of vines under
and spread them the width of the cut;

of planting is done. Vines so planted

The men are confident that they will

yves Discussions
North Brookfield, Oct 24.--Two cases
of diphtheria which have been found in
town during the past week have
caused considerable concern.(
1t is recognized by everybody that
the town needs and must have an ex-
tension of the sewer system Some
people say that the town should put in
a complete system at once, While 9th
ers claim that partial extension is
enough for the present. The town now
has a heavy debt which it is paying off
in a short term of years, thus the
taxes are high If the town should
vote to put in a complete system next
spring, it would cause a tax rate be-
yond all reason, but if they vote to
make an extension where it will do the
most good, it will not cause IA very
great outlay.
One scheme is to extend the present
pipe from near the Brown factory up
north, so that the district known as
Canada" can drain into it, This dis
trict is filthy from sewage which
drains out into the streets. making a
breeding place for typhoid, etc, and
must soon be attended to. Another
plan is to have the above extension and
also another main pipe running back
of the blocks on Main. street taking in
the drainage of these places and
also Summer and Spring streets
Both plans have many friends, but the
single extension into Canada" will
probably be the first move as soon as
the voters are ready for it.
