The raspberry can be cheaply grown;
with proper care and management 1t
is as sure crop as corn. Its period
OF ripening covers greater length of
time than any other small fruit, last
ing from four to five weeks IL early,
medium. and late varieties are grown.
Any soil that will produce 40 TO 60
bushels Of corn to the acre is sufi-
GENTLY rich for raspberries. The
most essential point is to secure a
fine, well-pulverized soil, In which the
roots can grow below the effects Of dry
weather
The more there are OF the fine. or
working roots to each plant, the larg-
er the growth, and the better will be
the crop. AS these roots require q
loose soil in which to work, 1t is never
best to plant on ground that cannot
be thoroughly pulverized.
Pillow the soil for a depth of about
six inches, harrow 1t well and then
level 1t down smoothly with a roller.
Then mark 1t out by stretching line
where the row is to be made, making
the rows eight feet apart
Dig wedge-shaped holes with a long
narrow spade, by inserting It in po-
sition about eight inches from the line
In such position that the point will
reach almost under the line, then with
draw it without removing any Of the
soil, again inserting 1t at the line near
ly perpendicular, SO that the point viii
reach the same place reached the first
time, removing the soil between the
two cuts, as you withdraw the spade,
making the holes ~ feet apart.
Before they dry out set the plants,
holding them against the side of the
hole where the line is with the left
hand, and draw the mellow soil in with
the right, pressing 1t firmly.
Use only frst-class tips, covering the
roots three or four inches deep, which
prevents the bushes from being blown
over by heavy winds. l am confident
that more failures are due to the lack
of cultivation, than to any other cause.
II the best results to be attained are
desired, a row Of corn, potatoes, or
some garden crop should be grown in
every space between the rows the frst
year. and the patch cultivated every
week or ten days, from the time they
are planted until the first of August.
After the first year they should be
cultivated FIVE or six times each sea-
son. use only five-toothed cultiva-
tor and horseshoe In cultivating. For
large bushes the handle Of the culti-
vator can be set over one side, thus

enabling the shovels to run as near
bushes as necessary. ] enrich the
ground from time to time, as the good
of the bushes requires.
When the young plants are about
four inches high, thin out to one cane
in each hill. When the cane is about
IL inches high, pinch out the bud.
This can be done with the thumb and
finger, and will cause the plants to
throw out laterals.
After pinching out the bud, do no
more trimming until the next spring.
Then cut the laterals back to about
eight inches in length.

Ancestral,

Mrs. Farthingale was going out and
was wearing-it was not quite alto
gether spring time yet-the wonderful
red fox furs that her mother had given
her as birthday present Little
Walter, Mrs. Farthingale's eldest hope,
was amusing himself by playing some
what roughly with the tail that had be-
longed to the fox.
BE careful, child" said his mother,
that came from your dear grandmam-

To which little Walter, surprised
and puzzled, replied:
did grandma use to have a tail
then, mother?"

Among the notable organizations
 which devote their artistic energies to chamber music. perhaps none has forged into prominence with such ra- pidity as has The Barrere Ensemble, which will appear before the Wednes- day Aftern oon Musical Club on Feb II. Although only entering it's, fifth season, it has taken it's place as one of the important musical fectors of this country, both in point of artistry and educational value, it's series of subscription concerts given at the Be- Iaseo Theatre in New York being among the established musical events of the season, and bringing forth large audiences. both of those who are discriminating enough to be at tracted by the superb musiciauship, and of the less exacting who are sat-

 The Barrere Ensemble differs from other chamber music organizations in that it is composed of what might be termed the pastoral instruments, flutes, oboes, c1arinets. horns, and bassoons; these instruments are usu- ally regarded as purely orchestral ones by those who do not realize their possibilities in combination with one another. Nor is it generally appre-
 ciated that much. of the finest oldsn1u- sic was written for just such co1nbin- ations, while modern writers are growing more and more alive to the possibilities presented.
 A New York critic has called the Barrere Ensemble Musical exotic" and says that e.these little brothers to Mozart might have been playing for arch bishops and emperors in stead of the large modern audience which came in automobiles In the days when the kings and princes of Europe considered their Kapellm eis- ter of more importance than their chef, chamber music of this type f1ourished, and such players often gave concerts to audiences of one in small but princely chambers.

1E GIRL AND THE CRICKET
BH Virginia vh1e0

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in the country quite a Hong way from any other children and sEo she had to make friends with the birds and animals. One day she was sitting on the steps of the house think Ing what she could To when she heard 3 little noise quite near her and she thought she heard some one say, How do you do?" She looked around but Dniy saw a little cricket and she didn't see how it could be that. Again some thing said, How do you do 2'' and she you speak to me?'' 'eYes did," said the cricket .I am going to talk with you if you will let me. I can tell you lots of things about what we do to have fun and I think you would enjoy nearing about them
 Tell me about what you did last night ?" said the girl. Well I'll tell Fou,'' answered the cricket sI went to big bali and danced most of the night, that is why I am so tired today We had the humble bee band to play for us and they play so nicely that avery one feels just like dancing all Inc time. All the crickets that I know were there and nearly everybody else Tor it was the last ball of the season. [ danced with the big June bug most of the time for he is such fine dancer that it seems more like floating in the LIT LIle1fl 0dAC1uS dAI0 ON6Ily one Wd1IS % dance with him so it is quite a compliment to be his partner
 t-Oh how would like to sec you lance" said the little girl. Well I will take you tonight continued the -r5cket-> We are going to have a lit- lie dance right in your yard'' So that night the little girl went with the cricket to see them dance. How funny .hey looked, the grasshoppers with sheir long legs dancing with the >rickets, daddyIong legs hopping along with Miss Beetle, and proud June bug trys.g to dance with the7z1 all They lad refreshments which they all seem sd to enjoy and they were very proud and polite to the little girl and heaped her plate with all the nice things. At last it was time to go home and the cricket said. Goodnight and the lit- tle girl crept into bed and was soon fast asleep. She told her brothers about her going to the dance, they laughed at her but she is sure that she went with the cricket to the dance. what do you think3
