BERRIES FOR MARKET.
ys to Raise Them, Provided the Top Is Disposed Of fin the Right
 Way and Place.

Having been asked, by farmer sub
 criber, if it will pay to grow berries
 Or market, in reply I will say "yes"-
 If the business is managed right, and the crop disposed of in the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get. If any, are second class-the overflow or refuse from the cities, where the market is often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the berries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the south, inducing many home growers to ship. By the time their ber- ries get ripe the demand is supplied, prices drop and the berries being per- ishable product, have to be sold for what they will bring.
 My advice is to grow berries for local market towns that are not well supplied. Such places can be found in the west; land can be bought for less than half that close to large cities, pickers are cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable. Berries that get too ripe on account of rain, and which will not do to ship, can be sold in the home market; all the rough handling of the railroad men. shipping expenses, commissions, etc., are saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh, wholesome, home grown berries, they often get twice as many, and the growers in the local market often can regulate the price.
 It is a mistake to plant too large an acreage. We have to pay two cents a quart for .aickers; one cent for straw berries and blackberries and one and one-half to two cents for raspberries. The pickers can make good wages. Il have had boys and girls under 16 years old make dollar day. I, IS years ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw berries in a day. I remember selling five dollars worth of raspberries from one picking off one row the length of ten acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years ago, were not profitable, as so many grew wild; but of late years, growing blackberries has become more profitable Jacob Faith, in Midland Farmer.

THAT TIRED SPRING FEELING
Which Comes to Many with the Sea- son That Should Renew
 Life and Energy.

There are certain persons to whom the advent of spring, instead of bringing a sense of rejuvenescence, provides very different sensation, says the London Lancet. The youth of the year, when nature seems to revel in growth and de- velopment, ought to give, it might be thought, to the human species, too, a sense of vigor and of the natural joyful ness of fecundity. When the birds are breaking into song and the plants into flower, poor man might also exult in life and it's annual time of awakening growth. Yet to many the return of spring is only the return of a vague feeling of listless languor, slack sense of fatigue that comes without labor and of weariness that is uncalled for by any unusual effort
 To those who dwell in cities, at any rate, spring has trials that are peculiar to itself. To some extent these arise from the knowledge that abroad in the country all is new life, refreshened vigor, and inspiring atmosphere, while in town the wonted thraldom is en- hanced by the suspicion of these things that is gained from the trees and the plants of public parks and open spaces, where poor little bits of nature bloom only to suggest in vain all that awaits the town dweller if he could escape. It is not only dissatisfaction, though, at being unable to partake in natures gaiety that produces the feeling of which yu0 r. oil In ic fa p1f m of 0 conditions.
 Who does not know the enervating sense that accompanies the first warm day of the year? We may agree with Johnson that he is a weak creature who is influenced by the weather, but if we do we must confess with the same breath that to-day most of us are weak crea- lures. If, like Johnson, we lived in more leisurely times and regaled ourselves heartily in Fleet street about the middle of the day, following the veal with a comfortable discussion, maybe we, too, should be indifferent whether the sun shone or the rain fell. Unfortunately, we work our nervous systems more and our alimentary organs less than did our grandparents. Inevitably we have a sensitiveness that was unknown to most of them. Their fits of ''the spleen" were we'll earned, probably, by loads within the stomach. We acknowledge no such consoling cause for the ennui that often in the spring assails the town dweller. Happy he who can dispel it by week. end in the country or at the sea before his regulation summer holiday arrives.

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
A Simple System Which VIII Pay for Itself in the Course of
 Single Week.

Market gardeners, and even the mak- CT of kitchen garden, feel the need of some wholesale means of protecting newly set plants from the drying effects of sun or air. A cloudy day is usually taken for transplanting, but the sun may come out with scorching heat at any moment, and much harm be done to unshaded plants.

It Was Wished On.

Johnny's sister has ring that Johnny is very fond of. He is allowed to wear it sometimes for an hour or so, when he has been very good, or has promised to be. One day he suddenly found that he wanted to wear that beautiful little gold band, and so he informed his sister. She wasn't just in the mooS, so she told him. as he insisted, that she couldn't take it off because it was wished on." Johnny said little and thought much. and the next afternoon, when sisters had calle1 he rushed in and pumped down on an ot toman in the middle of the room.
 "Johnn," reminded his sister, "your cap, dear"
 "Oh," returned the boy, innocently, "i can't take it of. sis; it's wished on IN '. Tribune.

COPPERS BECOME A PLAGUE
Nearly $15,ooo,ooo Worth of the Coins Are in Circulation
 in England.

Many large towns in England are, like Leeds, suffering from plague of cop pers. The extension of tramways with half-penny fares, the use of penny-1n- the-slot gas meters and automatic ma chimes, and in London the Tube railway, with it's two-penny fares, have produced an enormous change of small silver coins into pennies and halfpennies, states the London Chronicle.
 Tradesmen consequently are finding themselves burdened with huge quan- titles of coppers, and they complain that they cannot get rid of them by an ex- change for small silver. It might be thought that the royal mint had some- thing to do with this excess of coppers, but on that point the master of the mint, MT. w. G. B. Mccartney M. F., is tm- phatic.
 "It is not question of minting at all" he said, cit is merely question of bank ing. If the tradesmen of Leeds, or any other town, find they have a superfluity of coppers, they have only to tell their banker that if he cannot give them sil- yer in exchange they will transfer their accounts. Take the case of Leeds. Ob- viously the money has not left the town, and it is the tradesmen's fault if they cannot get silver for copper"
 The mint, it may be added, always strikes more than the ordinary quanti- ties of any particular coin for which there is an abnormal request. But there has been no excessive demand recently for coppers. The value of the bronze is- sues in 1902-the latest year for which the statistics are available-was some what larger than in 1901, but there was also considerable increase in the value of the silver issues. In 1901 the number of bronze pieces struck at the royal mint in London was 41,349,3 ,387, valued at E120,2S0, while in 1902 the number had risen to 45,774,S48 pieces of the value of 9148499. The silver coins struck in 1901 stotaled 1S,S43, ,425, valued at e914,- POI, while in 1902 the figures were 26,- 270,996, amounting in value to z 9937 .202.
 In his report for 1902 MT. Mccartney gives the following estimate of the prob able value of the bronze coin now cir culating in the United Kingdom: Pence, 91,968. .048; halfpence, E713,450; farth- ings, E150,190. This estimate is based on the total issue from 1860 to 1902 in. elusive, allowing 10 per cent. as the esti- mated issued to the colonies and for coins lost or destroyed.
