PLANTING Shrubs.

Spring is the favorite season for
shrub planting. Not that most shrubs
cannot be transplanted at almost any
season of the year, but we all feel
more interested in outdoor things
when the robins first come back.
Shrubbery about the house is a con-
slant JOY to all who behold IT, Break
ing up harsh lines and joining to-
gether the more antagonistic features,
it gives finish and an air OF per.
manency to any place.
In choosing varieties for special
uses, particular attention should be
given to the form, color and charac-
ter of blossoms, and foliage, together
with blooming period and general ap-
pearance of the shrub. Tall. struggling
shrubs, like some of the lilacs and
azaleas, give better effects when
placed at distance, and either mass.

Raising Raspberries.

There Is no fruit more desirable or
more easily grown than the red or
black raspberries. The plants cost
little and one can get them for nothing
by making cuttings from wild bushes.
They are much moro easily grown
than strawberries, and are much less
| trouble. The strawberry bed must be
hoed, trimmed and weeded regularly

but the raspberry will produce luxurl-
antly under adverse conditions and

red and one q black variety, will fur

family and the entire cost OF having
all the raspberries you want for a
months time every year need not ex-
coed the cost of little fertilizer and
n little Bordeaux mixture.
A raspberry patch will bear some
fruit the second year and 1t will carry
q heavy crop thereafter. for as much
as ten years.
They will grow well In any we'll

The ground should have liberal

crops of large, juicy berries every
year.
Beds located in exposed positions in
very cold climates will need to have
tho canes laid down and covered with
earth and straw during the winter.
When the bushes are properly
pruned and fertllized, It will not be
necessary to support them, but there
are many advantages In tying the
canes up to wire supports.
Be careful in the pruning. After
the first year cut all of the old canes
out as soon as they have fruited. Al
the same time cut out surplus and
feeble canes. In the early spring cut
out all canes which have been winter
killed and trim all remaining stalks

as nurse crop. 1t Is sometimes
sown on wheat in the spring in much
the same manner as clover, but this
should be done only on the very best
lands. such as the bottom lands along
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
In fall sowing there is some danger
of the plants being burned out, II
dry weather follows the seeding. or
II near a meadow, the grass'hoppers
may destroy the young plants. But
for ordinary upland the chances for
successful stand are much better
than where spring sowing is prac-
ticed.
Preparing the Soil.
The seed bed must be well pre-
pared. Young alfalfa plants are very
tender and the conditions must be
favorable to start them OFF well. For
spring sowing, the land should be
plowed in the fall so as TO allow It
to be well settled before seeding. In
the spring the ground should be
worked down and well pulverized
seed bed prepared. For fall sowing,
the land should be plowed In June or
July, blowing deep and working down
at once. II should be worked at
frequent intervals until time to SOW.
to kill all growth OF grass and weeds
and to conserve moisture. II late
blowing is necessary the ground
should be well rolled TO compress It
below and to bring the loose soil in
close contact with the bottom Of the
furrow. Where manure is to be used
II Is best applied with a spreader at
the rate of ten to fifteen tons per
acre and plowed under early Cow.
peas is an excellent crop to precede
alfalfa as II leaves the ground In good
physical condition and in fine shape
for fall seeding. Where alfalfa fol-
lows this crop the manure should be-
plowed under before the peas as this
will give Il chance to be more
thoroughly worked into the soil than
IL applied just before seeding the al
falfa. An early maturing variety OF
cowpeas, such as New Era, II sown
early will mature and be ready to cut
for hay by the middle of August. After
the peas are removed. a good seed
bed can be prepared by thoroughly
discing and narrowing the ground,
which Will give better results than
blowing 30 late.

A good rich soil Is one OF the
most essential things in successful
alfalfa growing. Average to thin
soils may be used, but considerable
care is necessary to secure good
stand and to keep the grasses and
weeds from taking it. The man who
has had no experience In growing
alfalfa will find It advisable to use
only good land. The land must be
well drained and well supplied with
organic matter Sour land or bad
land that Is foul with weeds does
not give good results when sown to
this crop
Alfalfa may be grown In the spring
on very fertile land, but for average
to thin lands, fall or late summer
sowing is much better. From the
middle OF August to the middle OF
September Is the best time for Cen
trail and North Missouri, but in the
extreme southern part the seed
ing may frequently be done as

August as to what time II should be
sown. Frequently the first OF August
is better than later sowing, and very
good returns have been gotten by
sowing in July,
Good Seed Important.
Clean seed OF strong vitality that
is free from obnoxious weeds should
be used, and It should be sown at the
rate of fifteen to twenty pounds to
the acre. Seed containing dodder
should always be avoided. Twenty
pounds is usually to be recommended

The function of vines and climbing
plants In landscape art is to screen

II you will leave to your wife the ques-
ton Of proper location for vines, you
