DEWBERRY CULTURE.
Each Fruit Grower Should Make an
Effort to Rnise ut Leosta
Few of the Plants.

There is no more delicious berry than
the dewberry when it is fully ripe. Even
when only turned black and not yet as
sweet as 1t becomes when perfectly
ripened 1t makes delicious sauce and
pies that come as nearly TO WI Aolesome-
ness as pies ever get.
The berries are two or three times
as large as blackberries and the plants
Of most varieties are perfectly hardy.
The Lucretia is probably the best one
ever introduced, as it was the first, this
variety having been found growing
wild in Virginia by an Ohio soldier
during the rebellion. Noticing its
good qualities, he marked the place,
and otter the war was ended he went
back and got the original plant. nam
ing it after his wife, Lucretia.
The difficulty with and chief cause Of
complaint against the dewberry is IT'S
trailing habit, although its dreadful
spines come in for considerable criti-
cism. AS there is no rose without a
thorn, so it seems one Of the best ber-
ries must have the longest and sharpest
thOrns of any of its family.
With all these faults it pays to have a
few dewberry plants, and usually these
make a place for themselves that leads
TO an increase in the original planta-
tion- They should be trained TO low
trellis or over a frame and given the
very best cultivation, rememberingtha
it is impossible to make the soil too
rich for them. If this is kept in mind,
dewberries will add to the value of the
berry products of the farm and pro-
duce crops that will overbalance any
physical failing its habito OF growth may
develop.-Farmers' Voice.

BITS OF SCIENCE.

A scientist declares that, in the
course of centuries, blue eyes viii be
eliminated from the human economy.
\ German scientist claims that the
memory Is stronger in summer than in
winter. lie says that among the worse
foes of the memory are too mucl food,
too much physical exercise, and too
much education.
Nicola Tesla thinks that man
has just so many hours to be awake,
and the fewer he uses up each
day the more days will they last. II
believe he adds, that man who
slept most of the time might live 200
years"
If cleanliness is not next TO godliness
il certainly is the mother of healthfnl-
ness as is seen in the report OF Gen,
Ludlow, governor of the city of Havana,
for he says that the death rate Of that
city for January was reduced 40 per

BARBED WIRE FENCE
Description Of . Tried Method ~
Which One Man Can Daild
One without Help.

At each end Of the line Of fence set
three posts two and q half feet deep.
tamping the dirt firmly about them.
II the work IL done In early spring, the
posts can be shurpened and driven In
with maui. The posts should be just
one rod apart. The intervening posts
can be set about two feet deep and o
rod apart. The value Of the barbed
wire fence depends upon the tension
Of the wires. If they are loose, the
fence Is ineffective and dangerous for
farm animals. II the end posts are
firmly bracsd and the wires tightly
stretched Mt first there will be no diff
fculty in this respect
In bracing. the plan suggested in
the accompanying illustration is very
desirable. Between the end post and
the one next to II, set an extra post
You will thus have two spaces eight
feet and three inches apart in which to
put braces (aa). For braces use strong
material that will not bend and then
counterbrace 1t by means Of wire (bb)
