Some Small Fruits.

The raspberry, blackberry and dew
berry will need careful thinning out
and short pruning of the bearing
canes, and then, after the fruit is well
set, take off one-half or two-thirds of
the berries, and keep down the young
sprouts and canes so that the strength
will go to the berries. Fertilize with
fouN{ {pounds muriate of potash and
two pounds of nitrate of soda per
square rod.
For next years fruiting, grow the
canes for this especial purpose, re.
tanning about one-fourth as many
canes as usual and then treat the
same as above; picking, handling,
wrapping and packing the same as
for the strawberry. Fine clusters and
branches whore they can be retained
should be shipped as clusters after
wrapping.
Twisting the canes often causes
them to produce larger fruit, and wa
ter is often used with lb. muriate of
potash and " ID. nitrate of soda to
twenty gallons of water to help in.
crease the size. especially IL the
weather Is dry. Mulching Is neces-
sary and watering can then be done
safely.-I. A. Goodman.
