RASPBERRY CULTURE.
Valuable Suggestions for Those Who
Irtend tn Engage in the Busi-
ness Next Year,

Select piece of ground with good
surface drainage, facing east or
south. The soil should contain a
good amount of humus. A good
clover sod which had a crop of po-
tatoes taken from it the year before
planting berries, would be my ideal
During winter or in early spring give
1t liberal dressing of stable manure
about s to IL tons per acre. PIow
under in early spring but be careful
not to pillow when the ground is too
wet. 1 prefer blowing Z or s inches
deep.
Pulverize ground thoroughly; mark
out with single shovel pillow about 5
inches deep; rows 31a feet apart.
Plant every other row to potatoes,
then plant your berries in the re-
naming rows. Now we want good
thrifty, well-rooted plants. When we
have to purchase them or have to
transport considerable distance we
want them in dormant state, but
ing planta ton prefer to have plants
well Started, say tops G inches high,
taking them up with all the soil that
will adhere to roots, only taking
about or dozen at a time and
planting them feet in row, running
the shovel pillow through the row just
before planting so the soil is fresh
and moist. As soon as they are set
start the cultivation to form an earth
mulch and arrest the evaporation
from the surface of moisture brought
up by capillary attraction; also to
kill all weeds. Keep cultivating all
summer and keep clear from weeds.
The potato crop will pay for the
work and the use of the land. Do
not prune the first season. In the
following spring prune the laterals
back to 10 or IL inches. After fruit
ing remove all old canes, and all new
canes except or of the strongest,
in August or September.
| take one horse to breaking
pillow and pillow the soil up to the row
of plants, forming quite ridge. The
reason l do this is, it braces up the
plants and keeps them from being
blown over; also it drains the surface
water from the plants and keeps
them from heaving out the following
spring. I prune all laterals back to
or II inches. The reason of so close
pruning is it preserves the vitality
of plants. Also it makes them set
less fruit, but it will be of finer and
better quality and just as many
quarts. l cut the top bud out of all
canes when 21k feet high so that they
will form laterals. After the second
year cultivate with double shovel
pillow and five-tooth cultivator. My
first plantation has fruited four
crops and this spring has fine set
of canes for fifth crop and from ap-
pearances will produce paying crops
for three years or more in the future.
l attribute this success to close prun-
ing.-George Wyler. in Ohio Farmer.

they had a weeks hard work on hand.
A Yankee neighbor happened to visit
the farm, and after watching the men
for awhile told one of them to go to
the barn and harness a mule and bring
him with a ten-foot chain. Then he
set the men to digging around the
vines and cutting the main roots. When
the mule and chain came he made
half-hitch with the chain around
vine near the ground, and attached it
to the mules whiffletree. Then he took
a piece of 2x4 about four feet long,
placed one end on the ground and the
other under the chain, leaning at an
angle of As degrees toward the vine.
The mule was started and the vine
lifted out of the ground. The chain
was unfastene6 and hitched to the
next, and so on. The whole job was
done with the mule, and was an easy
and speedy one. The same plan will
work with all grubbing where the roots
are not too large. Fence posts can also
be pulled up in the same way.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

ROMEO USED TO THE CITY
Full Grown sheep Which Follows
New York Man Around Crowded
Streets Like a Pet Dog.

A young man with a sheep that
followed him like a pet dog attract
ed attention on Broadway, near
Forty-second street, New York city,
the other afternoon. The sheep,
which was full grown, wore a collar,
and, although undismayed by the
crowds, seemed to take considerable
interest in his surroundings. The
young man and his novel pet walked
down to Thirty-fourth street and
turned, across toward Eighth avenue.
The sheep was evidently used to the
hustle and confusion, and deity
picked its way through the mass of
cable cars, carriages and other vehi-
Giles with as much unconcern as a dog
would have done. The young man
said:
81 am much attached to Romeo,
who is faithful and accompanies me
wherever | go. 1 raised him myself,
and 1 would not part with him for
anything. l live in a fat up town,
and the neighbors are used to Romeo
and think almost as much of him as
I do"

The War Against Weeds.

How about the noxious and poison
Gus weeds? Are there any growing
along the roadside or the fencings OF
the farm? If so, it will be time and
labor well spent to see that they are
owed down closely about this time
: Of year, or before they have time to
go to seed. The last half of July and
during the month of August, in this
latitude, is the period during which
one moving of these enemies of the
thrifty farmer will come nearer rem.
dering them harmless for the year
than any other. If you cannot at.
ford to NOW them down twice OF
more during the year, give them at
least one good battle while the
scorching sun and midsummer
drought are your Ghss.-Chicags

Worst Enemies of Butter.

Two of the strongest enemies Of
butter to-day are oleomargarine and
the preservatives. Both are of the
same general character, for they de-
pend on the greed of men for their
very existence. Both exist in the dark
ness and masquerade under other than
their true characters. Oleomargarine
can be proftably sold only when it is
sold for butter. The preservatives are
sold by being proclaimed as perfectly
healthful drugs. The ignorant and
vicious buy the chemicals. The ignor-
ant principally buy the bogus butter
products, or at least most of the
consumers are ignorant. In either case
a dissemination of knowledge is neces-
sary to destroy the enemy.-Farmsrs'

PULLING GRAPEVINES.
Chain Trace Worked by One Mule
Does the Work Neatly and in
Less Than No Time.

Owing to a change in the plans of
fruit farm in a neighboring county, it
became necessary to pull up two acres
of vineyard. The owner ordered his
men to grub out the vines. They went
at it with spade, AK and grubbing hoe,
and at the end of the first halliday had
only a few vines out. At that rate

Those who desire to grow forest
trees of any kind for shade or orna-
mental trees should remember that
there is no better time to gather the
seed than when it ripens upon the
tree, and no better time for sowing
it than that when it would be self
sown by falling from the tree. That
is, if the tree is a native of the place
where it is to be grown. If from a
warmer climate it may be necessary
to start the seed under glass, and
protect it in some way during few
of the first winters while ii is small.
At the Arnold Arboretum by this
method they have acclimated and
grown in this way some trees and
shrubs that are not native here, and
seldom found north of Mason and
Dixon's line. The seeds from these
plants are more hardy than those
from southern plants and thus they
can he made to endure our colder
northern climate, and the northern
limit of their growth is gradually
being extended.-American Cultiys-
tor.

Elk ACTED STRANGE oATHs.
Odd Marriage Ceremony Perform ed
by an Early Montana Magistrate.

George Hazel, of Helena. Mont, in
speaking of the formerly great in
fuence welded by the justices of the
peace on the frontier, told the follow
ing story, says the New York Trib-
une:
I'm the prostate day of Montana
the justices of the peace reigned SUI
preme in the land. They joined men
and women in life, buried them in
death, and were general peacemakers
to the community at large, and judges
of dog fights. Their position in west
ern communities was unique. and the
stories that have been told about
them have been innumerable. One of
the most peculiar characters to be
found in Washington, however. was
one Reed, j. p, who ruled over the
town of Belknap,, Mont, since deceas-
ed in the early '70s.
'He performed at Belknap in the
winter of 1878 a marriage ceremony
that is classic in western annals. He
made the bride swear that she would
support the constitution of the Uni
ted States and the organized acts of
the territory of Montana; that she
would be ever loving, faithful and
true, and would be ever willing to de-
fend-with her life, if necessary-the
honor of her God, her country and her
flag. The bridegroom was compelled
to swear that he would split the
wood, carry the water, shovel the
snow, build the fire and under any
and all circumstances try to be a per-
feet gentleman. Instead of returning
her devotion with slurs and scowls
he would repay it with a kiss and
kind words. If he ran shy of kisses
he was to call on the justice of the
peace, who was long on kisses, but
short on girls. Reed wound up this
unique ceremony by making the
couple recite the Lords prayer in
unison. And the ceremony ended
with the crack of a revolver and a
pop of beer corks."

A RACE RIOT
The Celebration of Christina in the
Town of Harlem.

New York. Dee. ga race sldrmish
between whites and blacks in Harlem
today developed into serious proper
tions and kept the police busy for a
time The negroes. 100 strong. were
armed with revolvers and clubs, while
equally as many whites used stones as
weapons. The negroes had the ad-
vantage. but were driven back into
their tenements by the police. after
they had charged on the whites with
pistols and razors. Fifteen negroes
were arrested. Four whites. including
a policeman. We're badly shot or cut.
The rioting began when some white
boys stoned two colored girls. where
upon a dozen negroes seized the white
boys and beat them. The boys when
released, told their story to white men
in the vicinity. and an organized at
tack was made on the negroes, who
were driven to their tenements under
a shower of stones. The confusion in
creased when the white men began to
bofnbord the tenements with stones
and other missiles, and the negroes fired
from the windows into the crowd. The
whites. surprised by the shooting and
seeing men fall wounded. turned and
ran. followed by the negroes who used
knives and clubs freely. At this point
a squad of policemen arrived on the
scene and with their clubs stopped the
riot, chasing the negroes into their
houses.

A new PACIFIC LINE
Between Seattle and Countries
Of the Orient.
Vessels Especially Built to Carry Lum-
Der of Any Size---Ships Now Build
ing May be Added to the Ser
vice.

Seattle. Dec. 25.-Details were learn
ed today regarding a steamship line
which is to run between Seattle and the
Orient. Some time next month the
Sutherland Co, Ltd. OF London, will
begin the operation of the line, putting
on two big turret steamers for the pur-
pose of carrying lumber and other
Washington products to points in the
Orient. Concerning the new enterprise.
]. b. Sutherland. of the company, said:
I'VE are esta blishing this new SER
vice because there is demand for it, and
we will make Seattle our chief port in
the United States because we recognize
its many advG ntages. l am very much
impressed with the city, and we will
run our steamers from here because
we think that we can do better bust
ness from here than from any other
port.
1--WE shall make a speciality of lumber
shipping. for which our turret steamers
have peculiar advantages, as we can
carry lumber of any length up to 800
feet. and then we can stow our deck
cargo in a way that makes it perfectly
safe. Besides. as so little of our YES
sells are out of water they can make
much better headway in rough weather
than the ordinary type of spar-decked
delivery gives us an advantage in the
carrying trade.
"Our directors have long considered
extending their connections and in Oc-
tober they commissioned me to make
the arrangements. / have now COM
pleted our affairs by making Frank
Waterhouse our agent here.
1--WE are building several new ves-
sells o; 6.1O0 tonnage and it is likely that
one of these will be put on the Seat
tie run. with one of our other steam
ships. but we have not yet definitely
decided which vessel we will put into
this new service.
Like many others. L am greatly i'm
pressed with the opportunities of the
Oriental trade. and next year 1 expect
TO make a trip to China and Japan.
For this business Seattle has great ma
tural advantages and these we have
recognized."'
The Sutherland Steamship Co, Ltd.
is a part of the vast business founded
in 1857 by the late Benjamin John
Sutherland. This company now oper
ates the turret steamships Caithness.
Sutherland. Argyle, Inverness and Gro
marty. and n number of spar-deck YES
sells of the ordinary type. During the
Spanish war the Inverness was in the
United States army transport service.
The Sutherland and Caithness are
also known on this coast. Indeed. the
former has just finished loading a cargo
at Astoria. Ore, for Shanghai. YES
sells of this company were also under
charter by the British government for
carrying supplies TO South Africa and
during the late war in China Germany
chartered one of it's steamers to trans
port stores.

MIR. TOWNSHIPS SAD JOURNEY
An Incident in the Life of Mr.. Clar-
ence King

Captain G. z. Townsiey left on this
port, II. l., escorting the remains of
his brother-in-law,M Mr.. Clarence King,
an account of whose death was pub
lished yesterday morning. Captain
Townsley expects to arrive there on
Tuesday morning. though he does not
know just when the funeral will be
held.
An error was made in yesterday 5
paper in the statement that Mr..
King had no immediate relatives eX-
cept n mother. for Mrs. Townsley, who
is now at Fortress Monroe, is a hall
sister. and he has n half brother. Mr..
George Howland. who is now in Paris,
and is an artist of considerable note.

Major Schwartz said that while he had
none of the habits that are accepted
as being a necessary part of sociable
mans life. such as drinking or the use
OF tobacco in any form, he was never
