CARING FOR FRUIT GARDENsA
Trees Planted Last Fall viii Require
Cultivation During Summer to
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 a 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
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 years
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
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. II the leaves
to wilt and curl it is sign
that the roots need moisture. Take
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
n hot, dry weather. Spread a thick
of grass or weeds around
each tree to keep the soil cool and
moist. Dwarf trees are to be kept in
he shape of bushes, pyramids or
whatever style of training may be
bought best by pinching Long shoots
must be pinched back Thin out all

COST OF RAISING CURRANTs

The cost last year for labor and

about SIS an acre. 1t cost us more
the first year to cultivate our currants
because they were planted on a piece
of land which was full of quack, says
a writer In the American Agriculturist.
We cultivated that field so times dur

currants in the spring we find it
necessary to keep one man on the
field all the time. We can work it
with only one horse now since the
bushes are large We keep an exact
record of all work done on each field
Each man has his time sheet, and his
time and that OF his team are charged
up to each field each night So far we
have not been able to secure more
than 5000 an acre, gross. on our bear

Restriction on Cherry Culture

Cherries are expensive to gather
and are not adapted to distant mar
ket, that Is market that is several
days away. Perhaps this is the reason
why they are not raised more ex-
tensiyely on the Pacific coast, where
they grow in certain limited areas
with most gratifying success. Cherries
do not thrive well beyond certain
limit of latitude, either north or south.
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan. Nebraska and
Kansas are notably well located In
this respect.
