CARING FOR RASPBERRY BUSH
Old Canes Should Be Cut Out lmme-
dlately After Fruit Has Been
Pleked-cultlVate often.

The red raspberry should not be
ummer pruned. excepting @at the
old canes should be cut out at once
after the fruit has all been picked.
In the spring the weak shoots should
be removed, and not more than eight
canes allowed to a plant. The best
berries will be found on one-year
wood, and they should not be allowed
to fruit more than three years. This
may be managed by using method in
pruning, so that each year there will
be no canes more than four years old.
The red raspberry is propagated by
shoots which grow up from the roots
One-year-old shoots are preferable for
planting. The rows should be at least
three feet apart, with the plants two
feet apart in the row. Frequent and
thorough cultivation is necessary to
keep down the suckers which grow
from the roots. 1t is a good plan to
plow the ground between the rows
every spring.
The blackcap requires summer prun-
ing. The tips should be pinched off as

The Raspberry.

soon as the shoots get to be two feet
high, in order to induce slde-oranch-
ing. If these side-branches grow too
long, pinch them back. Allow no canes
higher than six feet. In the spring
reprune, cutting out weak and ex-
cessive growth.
Black raspberries do not send up
root shoots. They are propagated by
burying the tips of the shoots in the
ground some time In August. These
take root and produce new plants,
which can be transplanted the follow
ing spring. The black raspberries are
more rank in their habits Of growth
and should be planted further apart
than the red varieties. Planting every
three feet apart is good distance.
They should receive thorough cult
vation in the same manner as the red
sorts.

WINSTON CHURCHILL CLIMBING

There is good reason for the keen
interest felt in this country in the
recent cable dispatches to the effect
that Winston Churchill bids fair to be
Asquith's successor as premier Of
Great Britain and leader Of the Lib

Half American, as he is through
his mother, the present Mrs. George
Cornwallis-West, who before she be-
came Lady Randolph Churchill was
Miss Jennie Jerome, and who is the
daughter of the late Leonard Jerome

American political institutions. Els

One difficulty with the basket is that
it is awkward to handle when 1ung on
the Usual double wire hook. To obviate
this difficulty the device illustrated
herewith has been found effective, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. Both ends
of stout manila cord Of any con

The cord is then passed around the
basket handle and the hook thrown
over a limb and caught around the
now vertical cord, as shown.
The hook. while secure, can be in
stantly released, either from the limb
or the basket, and yet they will "stay
