Colman's Rural World. I think there
are few growers of berries but what
will admit that the best markets are
easily glutted with inferior fruit; while
there never yet was a market over
supplied with choice fruit. In order
to avoid overstocking or Cutting the
markets, during the berry season, we
must conf1ne ourselves to smaller acre
age. and better quality of fruit, espe-
cially when 1t can be done at a very
little extra cost.
One acre well prepared and we'll

cultivated during the growing season,
will produce as much fruit and of finer
quality, as four or five acres In the old
way OF full-matted rows and alley

Especial Lottery


Sea crabs in the shedding condition
are now drifting ashore by thousands
on the Jersey coast. They are Of the
variety known to the trade as rock
crabs. They differ materially in ap-
pearance from the well-known blue
crab, as shown by the cut, and they
possess the popularity Of shedding
their shells in winter and reach the
stage which, considering the time OF
year, makes them fair substitute for
the famous summer soft crabs about
the middle OF Decem per, and continue
to be a supply for a couple Of months
thereafter. Shedding renders all crus-
tacea weak, and the winter shedders
are subject to the effects of the storms
which prevail in the season of their
semi-helplessness, so that they are
easily cast upon the beaches by q
tempest such as that which recently
caused disaster to nearly everything

however, do not constitute the supply
