COST OF RAISING CURRANTs

The cost last year for labor and

We cultivated that field 80 times dur

CARING FOR FRUIT GARDENS
Trees Planted Last Fall viii Require
r. Cultivation During Summer 70
Keep Soil Mellow.

The bearing red raspberry cones.
after they have done fruiting. die
These cones should be cut out as soon
as the leaves commence to turn yellow
to make room for the new growth. The
new cones should not be allowed to
reach higher growth than four and
one-half to five feet. The leading bud
should be pinched out. This checking
of the main shoot causes the side
shoots to make growth and these in
turn should be pinched back when
they are IS inches in length. Allow
three to four cones to the hill. All
suckers should be cut close to the
ground. Run the cultivator between
the rows and cut out all grass and
weeds among the cones. The soil
should be kept clean and mellow. To
promote stocky growth Of next yeara
fruiting cones. The same culture
should be followed with the black
berry cones.
Black cap raspberries differ in their
manner of growth from the red and
yellow raspberry family. They do not
throw up suckers from the root, but
multiply by roofing at the ends Of the
cones, which naturally bend down and
touch the earth.
Fruit trees planted last fall and this
spring require extra care and culture.
The ground for space of three feet
should be kept mellow. If the leaves
commence to wilt and curl It is sign
that the roots need moisture. Take q
bar and make several holes one foot
out from the tree and one foot In
depth, fill these holes with water late
in the evening. The water will go d.
rect to the roots. Water twice week
in hot, dry weather. Spread thick
dressing Of grass or weeds around
each tree to keep the soil cool and
moist. Dwarf trees are to be kept in
the shape Of bushes, pyramids or
whatever style of training may be
thought best by pinching. Long shoots
must be pinched back. Thin out all
small fruit. The best fruit is only to
be had by thinning.

A Typical Shaker.

vliet, N. Y. They number Is societies
In the United States and have men,
bership of about 1.728.
The Shakers believe in spiritualism,
practice celibacy, and community OF
goods, oppose war, refrain from oaths
and denounce baptism and the Lords
Supper. They are noted for their
frugality. integrity and thrift. In
Mount Lebanon, their largest COM
munity, there are several families
made up Of $50 persons, including 35
boys and girls. The other societies
are made up in about the same ratio
as the one at Mount Lebanon.
The announcement that they are
winding up their financial affairs in
Ohio and New York calls attention to
the final failure Of one of the longest
existing of the many communistic ex.
periments that have been tried in this
country.
In the years following the American
Revolution, more than a score Of com
munistic sects and colonies we're es.
tablished in the United States. Some
Of them appealed to the sensualities
and some Of them were plain swim
dies. The Shakers held out no sensu-
al or I'm cial allurements and It Is
surprising that they have endured Sc
long, except on the theory that their
simplicity in living attracted recruits
and made them the sole survivors Of
all these social experiments. wish
their passing will close one Of the
most interesting chapters Of social
experiments in the history of any

the kitchen from the main body of
the house has = ONE advantages, the
modern housewife would certainly
object to the unnecessary steps it
occasions. And she would doubtless
be at loss to get a meal over the
fireplace with its hanging hooks and

From the pump room adjoining the
kitchen steep fight Of steps de-
sends to an underground passage,
only lighted from an opening in the
lawn above. The other end Of the
passage once communicated with the

closed up. but the curious investigator
can descend and walk along the

the dangerous days when such a So

The bedrooms on the floor above

in looking over the maps, plans, ETC.,
which hang about the walls of the
hall and the main rooms, but the in.

matters is soon glutted and he prefers
