SPRING WORK IN THE RASP.
BERRY PATCH.
One of Our Most Delicious Fruits.
j. 3. NORMAN.


The raspberry is the queen of all small
fruits 1t is delicious both as a fresh
fruit and in preserves, and for culture
the raspberry is adapted to both the
garden or the truck farm. Tho canes
grow rapidly. the better varieties pro-
duce heavily the second year and a patch
with proper care will last for about -
to 10 years.
Spring is the best time to set out rasp
berry canes. If the canes are planted in
the fall alternate freezing and thawing
cause the rootlets to decay, and the
plants, unfortunately, readily winter kill.
Among the varieties on the market the
Cuthbert red raspberry Is still at the
head of the list, and in the gardens the
canes should be planted about three feet
apart, in rows at least three feet from
each other. For farm planting rows
should be about six feet distant and
the plants set out about four feet apart,
and, if possible, plant the rows north
and south, which permits the sun to
reach all of the fruit, and thus it ripens
better. The rows should be cultivated
once or twice In season. During the
summer the most vigorous shoots should
be allowed to grow after being placed
carefully between two wires which are
stapled to posts placed about 20 feet
apart In the row. To keep the wires firm
during tho winter clamp them together
with short pieces of wire.
WINTER CARE.
In November. when other garden or
farm work slackens, pay the raspberry
patch a visit and trim out all the dead
canes. These should he burned to de-
stroy any lurking raspberry borers.
Trim back the live canes to about four
feet This compes the plant, when
growth starts In the spring. to throw
out numerous side branches and thus
increase their fruiting capacity. Then
mulch the rows with leaves, if they are
abundant and weight them down with
a heavy coating of coarse farm manure
good compost or chicken manure. The
decaying organic materials furnish hui
mus to the soil, and humus is necessary
to supply the plants with sufficient plant
food The rain and soil moisture dissolve
the materials which plants need, and
when the raspberry plants take up this
moisture they grow rapidly and bear
profusely.
Raspberry canes bear about one year
only. but nature provides a new supply
of young canes, so that "A patch cared
for as above described will bear annually
and last many years and since the rasp-
berry blossoms late it Is practically guar
anteed against injury from frost For
this reason Il raspberry crop is almost
"A certainty.

CHICK DISEASES.
How to Overcome Them.
\ POULTRY RAISER.


Lice, head lice in particular. while not
a disease in themselves are fertile source
of trouble and disease. They are general
ly found where the chicks are Matched
by hens, the little fellows appearing
droopy, pale and with some diarrhca, due
to weakness. Dust the hen with a good
lice killer, spray the coops with disin-
fectant and rub a little lice ointment
on the chicks head, under the wings and
around the vent.
While not so prevalent as sometime,
supposed, white diarrhea" is real
menace, and here prevention Is the best
remedy. Breed from strong. healthy
parent stock and avoid the long scrawny,
crow headed hen, for disease is transmit
ted through the egg Keep the incuba-
tor dark, feed good nourishing food
separate suspected chicks at once and
dsnfect thoroughly. If trouble is eX-
pccted use white dlarrhea remedy in
the drinking water for the first 10 days
1t will save many chicks. but will not
cure the disease or save badly infected
ones.
DON'T OVERHEAD
Bowel trouble, due to improper feed
ing. Is often mistaken for white diar
rhca. Don't feed chicks until IS hours
old but give fine grit and fresh water
from the start Let the first feed he
finely crumblcd boiled egg, breadcrumhs
or a prepared baby chick FOOD, given dry,
or moistcn with sweet or sour milk. DO
not ovcrfccd, but feed often. Later give
n little bit of fine grains. such as pin
ga
cracked corn, scattered in the litter 20
induce exercise Beef scrap should not
be given until chicks are at least a week
old, Scald the drinking vessels fro
qucntly. give plenty Of greens after the
first five days and keep the chicks eXcr-
cising and there will never bee any bowel
trouble among the birds.
Leg weakness frequently comes from
lack of exercise Chicks appear healthy,
have good appetitos. are bright, hut
have no use of their legs Give them
every opportunity to exercise. but do not
allow them to become chilled. Hottom
heat in a brooder will cause this trouble.
The heat should always descend on a
chick back. never upward. Lack of
bone forming materials in the food such
as bone o. shell meal, also causes leg
weakness, and every properly compound
ed chick food contains these ingredients,
so, If it doesn't, either add them or get
one that does.
To sum all up. If vigorous, quick
growing chicks are wanted breed from
only the strongest and best of stock.
dislnfect freely, clean up regularly, feed
the best of food give lots of good fresh
