BLACKBERRY CULTURE.
Planting May Be Done In the Fall o
Spring.

Planting May Be Done In the Fall or
Spring.
The blackberry may be planted in
the fall or early in the spring. But If
planted too early In the fall young
growth may start, which is likely to
be winter killed. The soil should be
well prepared and the plants set lit
tie deeper than they were in the nurs-
cry in rows about eight feet apart and
three feet apart in the rows. Some
growers prefer planting them in hills
seven or eight feet apart each way,
thus finding them easier to control.
Larger fruit is so produced, as they
can be kept cultivated both ways.
Summer pruning is important with the
blackberry. as the lower the canes can
be kept the better they are likely to
come through the winter and the cas-
Ter they are to handle. Summer prun-
ing consists in merely pinching back
the young growth to within about
eighteen inches of the ground. after
which side shoots will be thrown out.
1t is better to err on the side of low
pinching than to let the canes get too
TALL
The summer pruning may If delayed
cause late growth, which will not
ripen; hence it should be done in time
or not at all. In the spring the laterals
should be headed back to within eight

The famous Bertram elm in Salem,

for some time that no cavities showed
on the elm. This was proof to the ex-
perienced eye that there was decay in
side the tree.
An investigation showed that the elm
had q cancer on the inside. which, If
allowed to grow. would kill the tree
in a few years. Incisions were made
and portions of the inside were found
to be punk. Tiny roots had begun
spreading inside this growth. Efforts
are now being made to remove the can

Irish Potatoes.

Late Irish potatoes can be planted
in July. No potato crop yields more
bountifully than the late Irish potato
crop when the months of August and
September have a good rainfall. In
fact, one good soaking rain the first
part of September will insure good
crop of potatoes. The fall grown po-
tatoes are much more prolific and
freer from a strong and oftentimes
acrid taste than those grown in the
spring. A frequent practice among
potato growers and very injurious
one TO potatoes is to put strong, fresh
stable manure in the furrow when the
potatoes are dropped before covering
them with plow. Such an application
not only produces scab on the pota-
toes, but often makes them waxy, i'm
pairing their flavor and reducing their
quality for the market and for home
consumption as well.

MoIss Friends Of the Farmer.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs of fifteen moles
caught in different localities. but failed
to discover therein the slightest ves-
tige of plants or roots; on the contrary,
they were filed with the remains of
earthworms. Not satisfied by this
fact. he shut up several moles in a
box containing sods Of earth, on which
fresh grass was growing, and smaller
cage of grubs and earthworms. In
nine days two moles devoured 349
white worms. 1913 earthworms. % cat
erpillars and mouse (skin and bones),
which had been alive in the box. He
next gave them nothing but vegetables
In twenty-four hours two moles died
of starvation. Another naturalist cal
culated that two moles destroyed 20
600 white worms or grubs in a single
year. If this is correct it is a strong
argument in favor of multiplying
rather than destroying the moles.

FIFTH OF AN ACRE.
cen inches or two feet Of the main
canes. Old canes and the weakest Of
new ones should be cut out in the fall
or early in the spring each year. There
will be light crop of fruit the second
year and full crop the third year.
Four or five full crops are about as
much as should be taken from one
plantation.
The blackberry is not grown so
largely as it might be. 1t is one Of
the most profitable fruits to grow
where it succeeds well. Where there
is not danger of winter killing well
drained clay loan is probably best for
the blackberry, as it is cooler and
more retentive Of moisture than light
er soils. The blackberry must have
plenty of soil moisture when the fruit
is ripening, otherwise but little of
the crop will develop. In the north.
where hardness is of greater consid-
GRAFTON than conservation Of moisture,
the poorer and warmer soils are pre-
ferred. as the blackberry on these soils
does not make as rampant growth
and hence ripens its wood better.

The Open Top Tree.

1t is not necessary to go over the
tree trying to cut off every little twig
The leaders are the ones that need at
ention. When heading in these lead
rrs it is best to cut them off to side
branch rather than to dormant bud.
Frequently when an inexperienced
man practices heading in he is tempt
ed to shear the tree all over and leave
it a smooth, oval form. 1t will be
seen that this is very different from
the method described above. where
only the leaders are cut back and the
side shoots thinned so as to leave an
open top. The amount of heading in
to be done should vary from year to
year, according as the crop promises
to be large or small AS the tree gets
older less heading in is usually neces-
sary.

WASTE OF THE FARMER.
Agricultural Reform the Most Urgent
of Modern Problems.

Agricultural Reform the Most Urgent
of Modern Problems.
George L. Powell recently wrote
letter on 1.-The Farmers Wastefulness"
which was printed in one of the secu-
lar dailies. He declares that 1.-The most
urgent problem before our nation to-
day is not the tariff. but the preven-
ton Of the great wastefulness in agri-
cultural methods that occurs every
where in the United States and the dis
semination of scientific information
that shall lead to soil restoration and
Improvement" The proposition is irs
refutable
Responsible authorities have estimat-
ed the amount of the food bill of the
American people at little more than
S12.OOOOOO.OO0 year. That both the
first cost and the retail price of most
of the articles on the list could be and
should be materially reduced there can
be no question.
AS Mr. Powell declares. very few OF
our farmers have even vague notion
of the cost of the products. The max
ers of farm implements, of clothing,
hats. shoes. furniture and other arti-
cles bought by farmers. know to the
fraction of Il cent the cost of the mer-
chandise There are and there can be
no wasieful or haphaZard methods in
manufacturing or in commercial busi-
ness. The inevitable penalty of indif-
ference to cost in those lines is failure.
Except in rare instances. no other
methods are followed on the farm. In
that industry it is not the producer
upon whom the penalty falls. The con-
sumer pays for the waste, Indifference
and ignorance of the producer.
Because of sundry legends handed
down from generation to generation
there is general belief that farm
er's life is of arduous and poorly re-
Quilted toll. Much of that belief is ut
ter nonsense. The average farmer
works harder today than does the av-
erage man In any other line of indus
try. His reward is determined chiefly
by the intelligence which he applies to
his OperatiOnS.

roundings. and it is important that
their bedding should be aired and
kept clean With the new kennel it
is easy to open the top each day and
let the sunlight and fresh air purify
the straw upon which the animal
sleeps at night. People who have
uogs for which they have real affec-
ton and who indulge these pets to
a sometimes foolish degree seldom
think of paying ordinary attention to
