PROPER TIME FOR TRIMMING
Grower of Raspberries and BIackber-
ries Must Go Over His Patch
Yearly and Remove Dead.

Raspberry and blackberry growers
have a task that comes in no other
kind of fruit growing, says the Fruit
man and Gardener. To be sure there
are thinning and trimming in all fruit
plantations or orchards, but the cane
fruit men must go over their patches
once a year and remove the canes
which but lately were fruit laden.
Where a few days ago you picked
dimes and dollars daily, there are now
dead stalks to be discarded. The
proper time to remove this useless
wastage is muchdiscussed matter
The correct theory is this, the sooner
the better. That means the months
following the harvest. say August 18th
to September 18th. This is the best
time because the quicker all insects
and disease germs are removed the
better. The brush heap incineration
at the earliest possible date is good
sense.
But practice is usually very differ
ent from theory. Perhaps in most
cases our fruitmen, are too busy in the
summer season to do this work. 1t
is done in the comparative leisure OF
winter. And that season is all right.
provided you are not troubled with
rust and bugs. If you are troubled,
strain a point and clean out the berry
patches early-do it even if you must
pay high wages for labor.

TIME FOR SELLING PIG CROP
Much Depends Upon Price Of Feeding
Materials and Development of
Bone, Muscle and vigor.

The best time to sell the pigs de-
ponds upon the price of feeding ma
terials that may be utilized in growing
them and developing their bone, mus
Gle and vigor, and preparing them for
the fattening period. When we have
plenty of forage, skim milk and other
homegrown foods, we often find 1t ad-
vantageous to allow them a longer
period of growth than when we feed
an exclusive grain diet. Market de-
mands are for a medium-sized hog.
with plenty of lean meat; strong, but
not too coarse bone; plenty Of activity
and strength to stand up well during
shipment.
Fall pigs, as rule, are less profit
able unless the feeder can utilize what
would otherwise be waste feed in keep
ing them through the winter. Pigs
that make good gains during the win
ter, and can be put on pasture In the
spring, and then fattened in the fall,
often make good gains during the
longer periods, and cash in fine profits
in the fall. On account of coming to
maturity at the best time to breed TOT
spring litters, we have found fall far
rowed sows very desirable for breed
ing purposes. The second season gives
them the bone and muscle develop
ment at very low cost
Warm drinking water, light, warm
and dry quarters, succulent food with
frequent change of breeding and diet,
will insure good growth during the
winter, but unless we are in the best
shape to look after these details, we
find It best to confine our feeding to
spring litters. The fall pig that goes
into the winter without warm place
to sleep and plenty Of warm, nourish-
ing food, has winter Of misery be-
fore It.

LIME FOR THE FRUIT TREES
Proves Quality and Quantity of
Fruit-Grapes Are Sweeter.

To get the best crop of any fruit or
grain there must be the best growth
Of tree or plant, and this is what lime
provides, DR.. e. e. Hilgard, director
of the California station, a high au-
thority, says that limestone soils pro-
duce n stocky growth of trees so no
ticeable that one can tell the lime
tree growth.
Observation has shown that lime
gives very favorable root growth
well-balanced plant, top with roots
and that produces perfection Of
Towering and fruition. A large guam
tity and better quality are both dis
tinctly noticeable in lime fertiliza-
ton. Hilgard says also that lime i'm
proves the quality of the fruit;
grapes grown with 1t are notably
sweeter The sugar beet industry,
which is regulated by scientific tests
of quality, is most successful on lime
stone soils.
AS lime is not very expensive, the
right thing for every fruit grower to
do is to make some comparative tests
with it, bearing in mind that true
carbonate form can be applied at any
season and will not injure either
plants or organic matter by direct con-
tact. In fact, the carbonate mixed
with manure or commercial fertilizer
enhances the value without any
waste of fertilizer elements.-Ameri-

weeks after the rye has ripened. They
should then be allowed to gather the
entire crop and to Craze upon the
young clover that has come up with
it.
Field No. Is devoted entirely to
hog pasture. When clover and TIM
othy are planted together, the hogs
Craze principally on the clover and
leave most OF the timothy to be cut
for hay. In the flve-year rotation, how
ever, field No. 8 is depended upon to
furnish the principal supply of hay for
the horses and cows. There should be
some surplus and this, of course, can
be sold Late in the fall the field is
plowed for first year corn, and in the
following spring it takes it's place in
the rotation as field No. 1.
Under such q system hogs furnish
the principal income. They are turned
in on the rye as early as possible in
the spring and there they remain as
long as the pasture is tender, al
though the brood sows should be
taken to other Enclosures as soon as
the spring pigs can be weaned, and
there bred for fall filters. Early in
May when the rye probably ceases to
afford good pasture the hogs are
turned into field No. 4, devoted to
frst-year clover and timothy. With
the addition of a reasonably liberal
corn ration they feed on this until the
middle Of July, or two weeks after the
rye has ripened, when they are turned
back into the rye field and allowed to
hog 1t all down without other feed. BY
the time the rye is harvested the corn
in field No. 1 is ready for the hogs.
If none of the stock is sold before, the
hogs will gather all the corn by No.
vember 1. In this way with practical
ly no labor and very little attention
the entire herd is furnished with pas.
ture and grain feed throughout the
entire spring, summer and fall. In
addition, there is the corn rom field
No. 2, which is harvested and not
hogged down, and the surplus hay
from fields No. A and 5.
Under this system, the only time
when outside labor is indispensable is
during the hay harvest. On farm OF
a hundred acres it is not probable that
this will amount to more than ten
days hired labor, which is certainly
much less than is required by the sys
TENS of farm management in more
general use. AS for the cash income
it may be said that roughly speaking
rye ultimately brings the same re
turns, whether it is hogged down oil
cut and threshed and sold. In the
latter case, however, there is all the
cost of labor to be considered TIC
save this, is the main object of the
system described.

MIDDLINGS FOR YOUNG PIGS
If Rye Can Be Purchased for Less
Money Than Wheat 1t Will Be to
Advantage to Feed Them.

Chemical analyses indicate that
there is nearly rs per cent more fat
and slightly more protein in wheat
middlings than in rye middlings, al
though feeding tests show that wheat
middlings are but very little better
than rye middlings. Feeding tests
have shown that pigs fed on rye mid
dlings are quite likely to go off feed.
which is not so common an occur
renee with wheat middlings. With
prices the same, wheat middlings
would be the better feed, but IL rye
middlings can be purchased for some
what less than the other, 1t will be
to the feeders advantage to Use them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuture.)
The familiar practice of hogging off
crops has been developed by experts
in the United States department of
agriculture into a scientific system OF
farm management which, it is said,
will minimize, in those sections and
those farms to which it Is adapted,
the cost of harvest labor.
Reduced to it's simplest terms this
system, which is described in full in
Farmers Bulletin No. GA, "A Corn
Belt System of Farming Which Saves
Harvest Labor by Hogging Down
Crops" consists of four or five-year
rotation of corn, corn, rye and mix
ture of clover and timothy one or two
years. A farm managed on this sys-
tenn should consist of four or five
fields of from 20 to 40 acres each,
and 1t is desirable that all the fields
should be of approximately the same
size. Farms should be laid out in ac-
cordance with the following plan:
l. Corn-First year to be hogged Off
2. Corn-Second year to be cut and rye
sown.
8 Rye and Young clover-Hogged off
and pastured.
A. Glover and Timothy-Hog pastured.
s. Timothy and Clover-For hay or pas
ture.
Above is plan of farm run on five
year rotation.
In field No. the first year corn is
grown and hogged off as soon as 1t is
ripe. This is generally from Septem-
Der TO September 10. When the corn
is cultivated for the last time, it is
usually desirable to SOW soy beans or
rape, in order that the hogs may have
pasturage while gathering the corn,
and also because such a crop supplies
valuable humus which can be turned
back into the soil. in the following
spring this field Is prepared for Sec
ond-year corn and becomes field No. 2
in the illustration.
Field No. 2 is, as we have seen, de-
voted to second year corn, which is
not hogged off but harvested by hand.
Here rye is sown in the fall. Under
favorable conditions this can be done
while the corn is still standing, but if
necessary 1t is not too late after the
corn has been cut and shocked. Rye
may be sown much later than wheat,
and this is one of its great advantages
in rotation such as is now being de-
scribed.
Field No. 3 is devoted to rye
throughout the entire season. In the
spring it is pastured by the hogs as
long as it is palatable, affording excel.
lent pasturage, especially for young
hogs and brood sows. When the rye
becomes tough and the hogs cease to
relish it, they should be removed and
not returned to the field until two

one considers that there are two
places where one may see moving pic
lures. There is something progress
sive about that, but it must be re-
membered that the total resident pop
ulation of the islands, and that in
cludes the two towns, although Hamil-
ton, the capital, is called a city, is only
about $1,000 persons. The remainder
of the population is floating, being
augmented upon the arrival of each
steamship and likewise being dimin
ished by the departure of every ocean
going vessel.
There are plenty of aplusements
for the visitor, but they are naturally
almost all of them of the outdoor
variety. The climate and the general
character of the weather rather sug
gests this kind to the visitor, for
while there is no lack of rain in this
little land, the porous character OF
the white coraline roadways absorbs
the water as soon as it falls. Just

NAI Philadelphia lies one of the

OF the simple life, that per-
sists in maintaining it's cheerfulness,
beauty and youth, and refuses to grow

Portable sort, in fact, and that is the

When one steps from the steamship
at the wharf at Hamilton, one seems
to have at the same moment moved
into yesterday, and the change is not
so violent as one might believe. New
ertheless, it is a change. The absence
of tall buildings, the prevalence of
white ones, almost all of them of

something compatible with the new
vision, for there is no place like it

1t is incorrect to allude to the land
as Bermuda, for there is small

But Americans probably always will
refer to 1t as Bermuda.
The Bermudas consist of about one
hundred fair-sized islands, but if one
counts all the islets that are visible
when the tide Is at ebb then, as some
Industrious geodetic surveyor has
left 1t of record, there are 365. Tho
