GOOD CULTIVATION
OF THE BURBERRY
Government Has Attained DeveI.
opment Beyond All Previous
Expectations.

The government has been expert.
menting with the BURBERRY plant and
has worked out system OF pit cul-
ture under which It attains a develop.
ment beyond all previous expecta.
tions.
Blueberries thrive In acid soils, and
there Is large amount Of naturally
acid land in the East United States
that is ct for nothing else. on which
blueberr!es could be raised proftably.
There are two methods of propagat-
ing the BURBERRY plant The first,
which is suited to upland soils, Is to
set the plant in trenches or separate
holes in well-rotted peat, about foot
deep, and mulch The surface well with
leaves or clean sand
Give plenty of room for the roots
The soil should afford good drainage,
as the ideal condition of the peat about
the roots is one of continued moisture
during the growing season.
The second method of field culture
is to set the plants in peat bog after
it has been drained, turfed and deeply
mulched with sand, just as for cram
berry culture, except that no provision
need be made for rapid flooding of the
bog for winter. The ground water of
the bog might be kept little lower
than Is usual with cranberries.
There is a great difference between
the genuine blueberry and its coun-
terfeit-the huckleberry. The blue
berry is plump, large. and its seeds
are so small as to be almost unnoticed
The huckleberry's seed Is surrounded
with bony covering like a minute pea
pit, which crackles between the teeth
The blueberries stand shipment we'll
and II growers will take pains to In
sist that their product be not confused
with huckleberries and sold at the
same price, they will be better of.

Is paid to the drag exercised by the
weight of the gate.
A gate post of narrow diameter,
such as wood or metal. soon works
through the soil unless properly
stayed. Even stone pier would give
way in soft soil. The great point is
to provide some resistance to the
drag.
There are many devices that inge-
nuity will suggest. A simple one, II
rather costly, would be to imbed the
post in a broad-based block Of con-
crete.
The weight would then be on the
ter of gravity would be supported by
the base of the block, whether the
gate stood open or closed.
Whatever device Is adopted. let
there be no delay about the proper
hanging of gates. This Is a matter
that gives away the character OF
farmer perhaps more than anything
else about his place.
While on the subject of gates and
gate posts, we may call attention to
the fact that many gateway In the
wet season is regular sea Of mud,
and the fields on each side cut up
badly for some distance.
Getaways should be firm and I'M
yielding, not only to provide clean and
easy passage for foot or wheel, but
also to secure firm gate posts. A soft
gateway gives no material support to
a post.
Where there is hard bottom, the
gateway may have the surface cleared
away and the hollow filled with stones
picked off the land. With soft bot
tom, a foundation may be laid with
bundles of faggots, which are to be COW
cred, as before, with the stones. Fag.
gots In such a position last a long
time and provide the drainage which
is required in such position.
Let the center of the gateway be
higher than the sides. so as to pre-
vent the Judgment of water, which
does so much harm in this position.

Mr.. Addy is Teapot Hail." Dalderby,

In this case the angle timbers, like
the poles of Whymper tent, are

perfect example Of the type Mr. Addy
says Is common.
Out Of this most rudimentary type,
says Mr.. Addy. "the next evolutionary
step was to make the walls
straight L. e., verticaD, while still re-
tanning the original construction. :.
The change was accomplished In the
following way: The ends of the tie
beams which braced the 'crucks' to-
gether were heightened outwardly, 80
that the tie-beam became equal In
length to the" width OF the cottage.
Upon the tops, or at the ends, of these
extended tiebeams, long beams,
known as pans (Yorkshire) or 'pons'
(Lancashire), we're laid, and then the
rafters were laid between the pans
and the Ridge tree Finally a side
wall was built (on each side) from the
ground a. far upward as the PAN 80
that the pan rested on the top of this
wall"
Some Of the early English grave
stones erected over the ashes Of burnt
buriAls were evidently intended to rep
resent houses. One Of the models
obviously initiates the simplest type Of
cottage, the one with the bent forks
rising directly from the ground. An
other Incorporates the second type,
where the side walls have been made
vertical The third shows q more

manner described by Tacitus as EN-

Under these little models were the
pans containing the ashes.

that work lacks the profuse illustra-
ton 1t SO we'll deserves, and the lack
is especially felt In respect to this
historically most important OF all the
types. Cottages, he says, of the ear
lier type are still found in Gloucester

Lancashire, and are doubtless to be
found In every English county" In
this, think. he Is mistaken, for l can

resembling the lancetshaped arches
of a Gothic church, were set up on
the ground. and united at their apexes
by a ridge tree. The framework so
set up was strengthened by two tie
beams and four windbraces, and was
fastened together by wooden pegs.
The bent trees or arches were placed
at distance of about 16 feet apart,
and the space included between them
was known as bay"
These pairs Of bent trees are

Nothing can be farther from good

In another case, the gap is stopped

Frequently we see a gate leaning

not time to set up gate posts More
frequently the gate post is set up 80
