RED AND BLACK RASPBERRIES
as Roots Are Near Surface--Crop
ls Profitable.

Red and black raspberries should be
set six by six, which will require 1910
plants per acre. These plants must
have shallow culture, as their roots
are all near the surface. Many fine
plantations are almost ruined by deep
culture. The crop is profitable when
picked on time, and neatly marketed.
A grower can pay for his land in a
single season with good crop Of ber-
ries.

stroying insect pests, especially white
grubs, weevils. grasshoppers, and cat
erpillars. Among the caterpillars are
army worms and other cutworms.
When blackbirds gather in large
fiocks, as in the Mississippi valley,
they may greatly damage grain. either
when first sown or when in the milk.
In winter they subsist mostly on weed
seed and waste grain.

to protect more valuable fruits. In
California in certain years it has been
possible to save the olive crop from
hungry robins only by the most strenu-
Gus exertions and considerable ex-
pense. The birds general usefulness
is such, however, that all reasonable
means of protecting orchard fruit
should be tried before killing the
birds.

RICH SOIL FOR RASPBERRIES
Northern Slope Is Generally Better
Than SoutherIy One-keep Land
Well Cultivated.

Raspberries do well on any rich
soil, but the suckering classes. which
include chiefly the red varieties, pro-
duce rather better in less heavy loan,
while the black-cap varieties do best
in a sandy loan. A northern slope is
generally better than southerly one,
as it is less liable to injury from
drought.
All varieties need high cultivation.
Have the land we'll MANFRED and thor
oughly plowed and brought into the
best condition possible. The best fer
tilizer is well-rotted manure. Set in
rows seven feet apart and at three
foot intervals in the rows. Put two
plants at place. The distance be-
tween the rows may be lessened to
four feet IL more space is not avail
able. Set in the ground about the
depth in the soil as the plants natu-
rally grew. Firm the soil well around
the roots.
Not more than two shoots should be
allowed to grow from large root
each year, and these should be pruned
off when 10 inches high to encour-
age the growth of lateral branches,
because the raspberries fruit more
heavily on the laterals than on the
main cane. Keep the soil well culti-
waited.

SHORTAGE OF GOOD BUTTER
No Danger Of oversupply in the Big
Markets In Spite Of Large Pro-
duction Of Last Year.

There is one thing of which there Is
no danger of an oversupply, and that
is butter. There is a shortage of good
butter In the big markets at the pres
emit time, in spite OF the large produc.
ton Of the last year.

Keep Horse Comfortable.

The horse that is compelled to fight
flies continually cannot get in a full
days work, or at least IL it does there
is loss in stamina which eventually
tells on the life-work of the animal.
Neither can it do its best with an ILL
fitting harness. The horse that is
comfortable and in good spirits Is the
one which makes the record.

Fresh Water for Pids.

Keeping a generous supply Of fresh
water at hand for the young pigs is
important. This can be easily done
If an automatic fountain is used. The
bedding should be clean and dry even
if the weather is warm. Dipping the
pigs occasionally, and disinfecting the
quarters frequently will prevent dis
ease

Of leaf curl. The leaves affected by
aphis do not become thickened and
reddish or yellowish green in color.
The spores Of this fungus live under
the rough bark and in the crevices Of
the twigs during the summer and win
ter months, terminating early in the
spring and attacking the young leaves
as soon as the leaf buds begin to ex-
pand. Cold, wet weather during the
months of April and May favors the
development of the fungus and largely
determines the amount of injury.
Warm, dry weather tends to check the
growth of the fungus and under such
conditions the injury is slight.
The disease can readily be con.
trolled by thorough application Of
concentrated lime-sulphur before the
buds open in the spring. Bordeaux
mixture. applied early in the spring
before the buds start, also will control
leaf curl, but the lime-and-sulphur
mixture is advisable because it will
control San Jose scale as we'll.

BEER DEPOT is sCoRcHED.

The beer depot of James W. Rose, To-
Gated on Fremont avenue, was Quilted
by fire which was discovered Just af-
ter eleven O'Clock Tuesday night and
the loss from the fire will probably be
well over the thousand dollar mark.
F1remen were still at work at the build
ing this morning as the fire was smoul-
derlng in the walls and had broken out
at several times during the night. The
blaze started in the office of the build
ing and was caused probably by an
over-hdated stove. 1t spread rapidly to
other parts of the building and when
the department was called the place
appeared to be honeycombed with fire.
The sparks had been carried to the
floors and walls all over the, building
and it was necessary to lay several lines
OF hose to get the fire under control.
The damage was so general throughout
the building that the complete rebuild
ing of it will be necessary. No estimate
OF the loss had been made to the chief
OF the fire department and it was de-
clared that the building will be exam
med by experts before the estimate of
the loss is made.

Coming of Russians.

In response to requests sent from Re

the United States government may IA
ciitate the coming of relatives of Ke-

friends in this country, Second Assist
ant Secretary of State Alvey A. Aller.
has sent letter to the Evening News
stating that it viii be impossible for
the government to do anything to aid
in these matters. He asserts that so
long as these people are subjects of the
Russian government it viii be necessary
for them to appeal to the proper Off
Gals of their own country for passports
and the United States will not be able
to aid them in any way in getting these
passports or to provide transportation
for them. Letters sent to the various
consulates of the United States in Rus
sian cities will be of no avail as these
representatives of the government will
have no power to aid people who may
seek to leave Russia to come to this
country unless those people are Ameri-
can citizens travelling under passports
issued by their own government. The
inability to aid in this matter comes as
a great disappointment to many people
In Kenosha.
