HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Old raspberry gardens are liable 10 run
out in spots, and it is difficult for the
owner to discover why this occurs. If he
will dig down to the roots he will find the
cause in gall. which develops as large
as walnut, and often two or three times
as large. What has caused the gall is q
question not so easy to settle. My own
plicatiOn of raw barnyard manure. 1t
Is fungus disease, and most Of the root
fungoids come from this application of
half decOmpOSed manure. A raspberry
garden should endure in good shape for
fifteen years, but If the gall appears the
best thing to do is to plough up the field.
Plant for few years to potatoes or corn
before the garden is reset. In case rust
appears l should do the same thing.
The Sample strawberry, so far as 1 can
judge from present appearances, is one OF
the few that will give us admirable re-
suits without constant care. 1t seems to
be take -care-of-itself variety. The
plants are large, deeply rooted and Of a
strong vitality. We have altogether too
many varieties of the strawberry that
will do we'll only under the highest cult
ure. Margaret and Marshall are two OF
these sorts. The Bubach, on the con-
trary. does not demand overpetting. The
old Cumberland Triumph was the marvel
of self-dependence and defiance of neg
lect.
A group Of remarkably beautiful early
shrubs makes spring delightful, even
when the season is slow and the cold Is
not quick to depart. I can hardly con-
ceive finer thing than great Judas tree
fifteen feet In diameter, and a complete
mass of lilac flowers in early May. The
flowers are persistent, lasting for three
weeks, and then passing out as delight

before the Judas tree comes the fOrsythia

The Farm, Stock and Home says: "FOr
several years past we have fed our flock
at least two months in the fall in our
stubbles, aud rape sown with small
grains in the spring. Last year we kept
800 sheep and lambs, twelve head Of cat
tie and some colts very largely on seventy
acres of stubble ON which rape had been
sown in the spring. There was an i'm
mense quantity of feed and the sheep and
lambs went into winter quarters in fine
condition, and the other animals were
fat. Even the milk COWS were allowed
to Craze some on it with no apparent ill
effect.
Until last year we drilled the seed
with wheat only, but last year we drilled
some with fifteen acres Of barley, al
though we had read that rape did not do
we'll in barley, but it gave an immense
yield.of rape. The barley was off early, a
seasOnable rain came to help the rape,
and it kept the whole bunch of stock for
over q month, by running them, while the
dew was on. on some slough aftermath.
Sowing rape with grain is no longer an
experiment with us, and hereafter we
shall SOW with all kinds Of grain wher-
ever convenient, as the seed Is cheap and
what Is not eaten can be plowed under to
add humus to the soil.
'Great care, however, should be taken
not to let stock on it when it is wet, on
account of possible bloating. To prevent
blOating we run the flock in the morning
either on stubble where there is no rape,
or on some other kind of pasture. This
takes off the sharp edge OF the appetite
and they don't feed quite so greedily. We
have tried brOadcasting the seed after the
grain was drilled in, but it did not give
as good results as drilling. We sow II
bushels Of wheat and II pounds Of rape
to the acre, taking care to keep both well
mixed in the drill, to get an oven seeding
Of rape.
I'VE run q spring-tooth harrow ahead
of the drill to prepare the land, driving
across the blowing. This levels the land
and makes q nice seed bed, as our har-
rows have runners to gauge the depth.
We aim to run the harrows about two
inches deep. This method Of seeding has
given us better results than any other for
both wheat and rape. as we get q uni
fOrmly good stand and from two to four
bushels more wheat to the acre than by
any other process of seeding. Our hill
soil is light lOanl underlaid with clay,
and the bottoms are mostly gumbo. We
don't use spike-tOOth harrow ut all on
our grain fields. As it makes the hills too
fine and the soil blows away and they
won't loosen the gumbO enough to do
good seeding"

The course of the medical depart

Sixty six per cent. of the elementary
schools in Belgium have savings banks

The common school fund OF Texas
owns in round numbers 2S,000,OOO OF
unsold lands. One-fou1th of these are

Principals of Chicago's public schools

that priz es are an incentive to effor'

giving develops the immoral traits OF
envy and jealousy, and where tht. prizes
are offered for competition in an essay

there is a likelihood of assistance from
older heads, and a consequent dec ell
on the part of the children.

wager that not over five of the rest of

effort has ever been made to set forth
the advantages of this section, and
few individuals have ever spent the

WHAT constitutes one OF the draw
backs in the development of a town or
community is the petty jealousles and
antequated prejudices of the people.
New blood and new life is often neces-
sary to get rid of au evil of this kind,
and then long time is sometimes re-
quired to produce good results. Too
many people of conservative nature
are very often a detriment to a city,
while a reversed condition is just as
harmful. So in the END, it is more
like luck that an even balance is struck

continual growth prevails.-Montesano
