ThornIess Rlackherries.

I have heard of thornless blackber-
Ties having been discovered in North
Carolina and along the eastern coast,
but unfortunately the berries were not
OF any use for food. have also grown
so-called, but not by any means thorn
less, ones 40 years ago. Electricity was
also known for thousands of years, but
1t was worthless until developed.
Steam was also useless as an aid in
performing the labor of mankind until
some one made 1t useful 1t Is the
same with the thornless blackberry. 1t
Is now productive; delicious to eat,
large and in every way valuable for
food, and absolutely smooth like the
twig Of an apple tree. There are seed
less apples in existence today, but
none Of them are Of any commercial
value There was once a Bo-called
stOneless plum, but 1T was not larger
than large bean, and was not 1T for
hunsan fo0d. The bush was an Ill
shaped th0rHy one and the fruit absO-
,1utely useless. Now there are growing
ON my farms, splendid pruHes AMI
plums which are stoneless. NatuKs
gives us a hint and It is mans bust
ness to carry out the work to produce
results.-Luther Burbank in the Chris
tian Herald,
