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 1t. Break
ing up harsh lines and joining to-
gether the more antagonistic features,
It gives q 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 a distance, and either mass
ed or planted against buildings, fences,
etc. More symmetrical shrubs and
the smaller varieties can be planted
singly or grouped IN beds in the fore
ground.
For planting about porches, moth
ing Is more handsome or more grace
full than bridal wreath. II can well
be supplanted with several other
shrubs which bloom at different times,
however.
The hardy SNOWFALL is more salts
factory planted alone in an expanse
Of green lawn. This Is also the case
with any Of the larger symmetrical
shrubs.
For hedges, probably nothing win
give better results than California

anese Ounces, Sweet Briar and many
others are frequently used for lower
and less compact hedges, road Dor

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 more easily grown
than strawberries, and are much less
trouble. The strawberry bed must be
hoed, trimmed and weeded regularly
or It will be completely covered up,
but the raspberry will produce luxuri-
antly under adverse conditions and
even downright neglect.
Two thirty-foot rows, one OF a good
red and one a black variety, will fur
nish abundant fruit for the average
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
a little Bordeaux mixture.
A raspberry patch will bear some
fruit the second year and 1t will carry
heavy crop thereafter, for as much
as ten years.
They will grow we'll in any we'll
drained. fertile soil and the black
varieties require little richer soil
than the reds. Neither will do as
we'll as the blackberry on sandy or
poor soils.
Buy your plants from a nursery man
and put them into q we'll prepared
seed bed in the spring. Plant in rows,
having the plants about two and one
half feet apart. Set the plants q lit
tie deeper than they were at the
nursery, firm the soil we'll and water
occasionally for a week or two.
The ground should have a liberal
covering of stable manure before turn
ing over, and it will be well to work
into the soil around each plant about
one-fourth of a pound OF mixture Of
bone meal, three parts and muriate Of
potash one part. Fertilize in this pro-
portion each year. keep the ground
cultivated and you should have heavy
crops of large, juicy berries every
year.
Beds located in exposed positions in
very cold climates will need to have
the canes laid down and covered with
earth and straw during the winter.
When the bushes are properly
pruned and fortified, 1t 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. At
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
about third.
Rust and anthracnose are the most
common diseases. Spray with Bor-
deaux for the first one and cut out and
burn the diseased canes II rust ap-
pears. Slugs or worms can be killed
by spraying with hellebore or arsenate
of lead.
Raspberries frequently produce $500
quarts OF fruit per acre in single
year.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD HoLrE.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD 5oLTE.
The function Of vines and climbing
plants in landscape art is to screen
and soften mechanical features, to hide
unsightly objects, to blend together
into harmonious whole, various dis
cordant elements.
Varieties are a matter Of taste, and
II you will leave to your wife the ques-
ton of proper location for vines, you
will not 60 far wrong, from an ar
tistic standpoint. The truth is that
good vines are almost always in har
mony, no matter where they are
placed. Use them freely where you
have bare place.
Many an untidy fence can be made
into q bower OF delight by properly
placed vines. The honeysuckles, wood
bine from the deep woods, KudZu vine,
wild grape, clematis paniculata, and
many others, can be secured at tri'
fling expense, grow quickly, and are
hardy.
In the more southern states, Smiths
hybrid moon-vine is particularly de-
lightful.
The Jewel of porch climbers is the
Jackmanii type Of clematis. White,
lavander and pink, the blossoms come
in reckless profusion. and II you
are careful to get strong pot-grown
plants, plant them In q rich, deep
earth. without disturbing the roots,
and do your transplanting about June
/, you will almost certainly succeed.
Be sure to plant in a sunny spot,
where water from the caves will not
compact the earth. Water well until
the plant gets a good start.
A fast growing, pleasant vine for the
new porch Is the Japanese Ivy. A
few plants put in the soil alongside the
porch in the sun will rapidly spread
by way Of the roots, and will form a
thick, fragrant curtain Of light green,
clear to the top Of the porch by the
middle Of summer. This plant In
creases SO rapidly that one must be
careful to prevent its crowding out
other less aggressive neighbors.
Scarlet runner beans are o great fa-
vorite in northern climes for yearly
planting, as are the wild cucumbers
with their tracery leaves and tendrils
and their cool prickly fruit pods.
OF course where climbing roses can
be successfully grown, there is abso-
lutely nothing to compare with them
in their gorgeous magniicence. They
call for the same soil conditions and
care as bush roses, but they are less
hardy as a rule in the inland and
northern states.
In the eastern states and anywhere
that cool, moist summer and even
winter temperature prevails, the Eng
lish Ivy grows in profusion. Nothing
can be more satisfactory, particularly
in connection with stone or brick
structures Of massive appearance. 1t
seems to live forever in hospitable
environments, and It will frequently
cover an entire house, even to the
chimney top. 1t is we'll to prevent it
from covering wooden surfaces, how
ever, as its thick foliage holds moist
ure and hastens the decay Of the
wood, the rusting Of nails, etc.
Many ways Of supporting vines are
used, from strings to graceful wooden
trellises. Chicken wire may be used to
advantage, and will last number Of
years.

losses OF cattle when they are
pastured upon corn stalk fields. Some
OF these. doubtless. die from eating
too much dry and indigestible food,
others from diseases which are not In
any way derived from corn stalks.
However, many cattle die from symp'
toms so typical that the term Corn
Stalk Disease" has gradually acquired
the significance OF disease in which
the cattle show prevailingly nervous
symptoms. The onset OF the disease
is sometimes sudden. Preliminary
symptoms come on few hours be-
fore the severe attack. At first the
animals seem to be sluggish and TO
separate themselves from the remain
der OF the herd. The next symptom
which comes on may be viciousness.
Animals previously very gentle may
attack a man or horse. This symp'
tom frequently escapes observation
The walk is very staggering and the
animal stands with legs braced apart.
After a short time It falls to the
ground and lies trembling violently
On approaching II when in this con-
dition 1t frequently takes no notice
until one is quite close, then starts
suddenly as II much frightened. II
is not unusual for II to bawl almost
constantly. The animal goes down
on the ground and draws its body
into a peculiar position. Saliva drools
from the mouth and bloody feces is
passed from the rectum. Most cases
die within six or eight hours after
violent symptoms are noted. few
live longer. In those cases which
die quickly the contents OF the stom'
ach are found to be practically nor
NAL; this contradicts the theory that
the trouble is caused by loading the
stomachN with indigestible food.
Many theories have been advanced
to explain this trouble. The theory
Of impaction, that is. overlooking the
stomach with indigestible material
has been discussed. Some believe
that a poisonous weed in the field is
the cause, others that certain stalks
of corn are poisonous. others that the
corn in connection with certain weeds
llberates hydrocianic or prussic acid
and that this acid is the active agent
in the disease. In fact much work
has been done upon the various
phases of the prussic acid theory be-
cause the symptoms OF this disease
quite closely resemble those which
might arise from q small dose OF prus'
sic acid. More will be said about
these theories in discussing the en-
periments which the veterinary de-
partment OF the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College has carried out.
Many farmers have been Of the
opinion that in some way or other
the small stalks OF corn which do not
develop ears (suckers) are the cause
of this disease. They have main
tanned that because these were green
and sweet that the cattle, when turn
ed into the field, ate them in prefer
ence to the others. To test this the
college placed one yearling heller
and one yearling steer in a feed lot
under the care of DR.. c. w. Hobbs
OF Smith Center. These animals we're
fed for about two months on such
stalks. The stalks were cut and
brought in fresh so that the calves
we're never fed stalks more thai two
days old. The stalks were cut from
fields in which cattle had contracted
