Red Raspberry Culture.

1t costs more to grow red rasp-
berries than it does to grow black
raspberries. Red raspberres should
sell for nearly twice the price of the
black. If the market will not pay
higher prices for the red varieties
than for the black it will not pay to
grow the red raspberry, but In most
localities red raspberries are in active
demand at high prices. / advise
growers of small fruits to have at
least moderate sized plantation of
red raspberrles. They are not diff
cult to grow, and are an attractive
fruit to offer in connection with other
small fruits you are selling. Red
raspberries should be planted in rows
six feet apart, with the plants three
feet apart in the row. These plants
can be cultivated both ways for a
time. When properly cultivated they
will bear fruit long time. much longer
in fact than will the black raspberry.

Novelties in Vegetables.

DO not be tempted to abandon the
old reliable varieties of vegetables for
novelties. but first test the novelties
MS experiments. Some of them may be
excellent, but all varieties depend for
success upon climate and soil. 1t is
never safe to make complete change
in any kind of crop by substituting Il
new for an old. Some so.called novel.
ties are old varieties under new names.
The best variety is the one that has
been tested and found suitable for the
farm upon which it Is grown.

had just reported the death of ten
more fat hogs from cholera, and my
uncle had remarked to his visitor that
he had already lost more than fifty
hogs from that disease, and added that
the time would soon come when hog
raising would be lost industry in the
