Every Farmer Should Have HI,
Berry Patch.

No farmer is doing his full duty to
his family il he neglects to set at
least four long rows OF raspberries for
home use. Four rows. because he
needs four varieties. two Of which
should be black and two red. an early
and late OF each.
Set them in the spring on freshly
prepared land by laying Il on with
a shovel plow and setting 2is feet
apart in the bottom Of the furrow.
Tramp. the dirt firmly on the roots
Make the rows as long as the needs
Of the family may require.
Locate tho patch out In the open
where cultivation may be easily given,
for which the ordinary corn plows are
well adapted, suggests Farm and
Home. They will not hear the first
year, and only a part Of the crop the
second. but for from six to ten yeas
after that the crop IS almost certain.
Aiter the second year a Blx.inch mulch

TO REMOVE IRON MOLD.
lemon Juice and Salt Can Be Trusted
to Eradicate It.

This stain is usually caused by mate
rial coming into contact with rust, or
by ink. To remove it sprinkle the
stain with lemon juice and salt, and
expose to the air and sun. Repeat this
until the stain has gone. If the above
remedy falls, dip the stain into boil
ing water, and rub 1t with salts of
lemon, using rag for the purpose.
Then hold the stain over a cup or
basin. and pour a stream OF boiling
water through. The article should be
we'll rinsed and washed to remove all
traces of the salts. which would other
wise burn the material. This last
remedy must not be tried with color,
