BLACKBERRY CULTURE.
Planting May BE Done In the Fall or
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
pinehing than to let the canes get too
tall.
The summer pruning may If delayed
cause late growth, which will not
ripen; hence 1t should be done in time
or not at all. In the spring the laterals
should be headed back to within eight

Careful Heating Of churning Room and

enters the churn that is properly rip

fat the temperature should be such
that the cream will churn In thirty 10

exhaustive churning and leave the

Before putting the cream In the

that II will freshpu the churn and fill

examined the stomachs of fifteen moles

they were filed with the remains of

fact, he shut up several moles In

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 1t might be. 1t is one of
the most profitable fruits to grow
where 1t succeeds well. Where there
is not danger Of winter killing well
drained clay loan is probably best for
the blackberry, as 1t 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 a growth |
