filed after the expiration of this limit
the railroads are forbidden by said rul-

next spring, sill bear big crop the
following spring and fair crop the

be plowed up and new patch planted.
Tho if they are carefully tended each
year and the old plants taken out and
new ones left patch can be kept with
out blowing up for much longer. One

furnish an average family with all the
fresh berries they will want during the

will furnish the fresh supply and
supply for preserving in addition. This

that negro has is drawing his weekly

PRUNE RASPBERRY CANES
Object Should Be to Grow Berries, Not
Woody Growth-cIeaning Out
Destroys Many Insects.

Though the two main varieties of
raspberry, black and red. need slight
ly different treatment, the time and
manner of pruning are greatly similar
with both kinds.
The blackcaps do not put out new
growth from the root stalks, as the
red varieties do, but new plants are
started from tips of the old plants.
These are bent over and covered light
ly in August, after which they send
out rootlets and can be taken up the
following spring as new plants, to BE
set out where they are needed.
These new plants need to be pinched
back to height of Is inches, SO that
they will throw out more lateral
branches. These are the branches
which bear fruit, and it is very impor-
tant that they be numerous.
In addition to this first pruning, the
winter or early spring pruning should
be done to get rid Of the old canes

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Stirring Of Soil Helps to Conserve
Moisture - Young Trees Given
Longer Period Of Growth.

The apple growers are nearly all
practicing clean cultivation in their
orchards, says a writer in Indiana
Farmer This indicates that cultiva.
ton is the quickest method of bring
ing young trees TO bearing age and
perhaps it is the best method to pur-
sue in gaining annual crops. From my
own experience and knowledge gained
from growers in all parts of the coun-
try, | am convinced that apple trees
set on rolling or nearly level land will
come into bearing two or three years
earlier if given annual cultivation.
1t makes very Little difference wheth-
er the land be Intercepted or not,
provided sufficient fertilizing material
is added to grow the extra plants. The
stirring of the soil seems to help in
conserving the moisture and gives the
young trees a longer period of growth
each year than they have under sod
methods. Ii is well to remember that
a cover crop should be put in late in
the summer to afford the roots some
protection from the winter cold.
When crops are grown between the
trees. something should be raised
that can be taken off early enough to
allow for this In the northern Sec
tions, rye or winter vetch is perhaps
best | think it good plan to alter
nate these for cover in the growing
orchard. Farther south there is moth
ing that can compare with crimson
clover for this purpose. An orchard
handled after this method makes
rapid growth up to the bearing age.
have continued it after bearing, with
the result that some of the trees have
formed the habit of annual bearing
To my mind this is most important.
With the older orchards, sod meth
| DDS with the grass mulch and annual
top dressing of manure produce excel
lent results. This means considerably
less work. My experience indicates
that cultivation is of value where il
can be practiced with convenience.
Where the trees are left in sod, the
grass should be moved and left under
the trees to hold the moisture. One
cannot successfully take crop of hay
and a crop of apples from the same
land, unless heavy fertilization is prac-
ticed.
