PRUNING OF SMALL FRUITS
Cutting Of RsspbeVy and Blackberry
Bushes Should Begin In Summer
Cut Out Old Canes.

/ Pruning is more essential in the case
of bush fruits than it is with fruit
trees. If the bushes aye left unpruned
a single season, they become adHiass
OF tangled growth that bears little
fruit, and this Of poor quality.
The pruning Of blackberry and
raspberry bushes should rightly begin
in summer, when the canes are
through bearing. The canes that have
borne the crop should be cut away, to
give the new shoots a better chance to
develop into vigorous canes. If the
,old canes were not removed last sum-
mer they should be cut now. But
three or four new stalks should be
permitted TO grow from a clump. The
tips of these new caneS should be
pinched off when they have reached a
height Of four feet. This pinching
back is to develop a strong, vigorous
lateral growth, since the fruit forms
on gruWtils that start from the later
ais. Spring pruning consists in cut
ting out all wood that has borne ber-
ries and the shortening of laterals on
new wood to is to 20 inches. The new
plants that develop between the
clulnps should be kept down, if these
are not wanted for planting.
h currant bush requires little
pruning during the first two or three
Years, other than a slight shortening
OF the ends of the canes. This short.
ening is done to increase the fruit buds
along the cane. Currants do not form
on new wood, and in order to have ii
in pruning, to leave an equal number
of the one-year and ~two-year-old canes
TO each bush.

FINE FERTILIZER IS WASTED
OF Money by Utilizing All Manure
Produced on Farms.

When the farmers of our country
thoroughly appreciate the actual
amounts of fertilizing constituents
which are contained in farm manures,
and intelligently care for and utilize
the manure produced on their farms.
they can save millions Of dollars in
fertilizer purchases; and the necessity
Of depending upon the purchase of
these fertilizers, followed by the oc-
%currences Of crises in the fertilizer sit
uation such as now exists i IN some sec

MS early blowing, will destroy many Of
the alternating cutworms, as well as
such other important corn pests as
white grubs, and should be practiced
when earlier blowing is impracticable.
Pasturins hogs upon land supposed
to be harbor cutworms is a beneficial
practice. as these animals root up and
dryour insects of many kinds, includ-
Ing cutworms, in large numbers. Farm
poultry, if trained to follow the pillow,
will prove of inestimable value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use of the
poisoned bait is recommended. This
may be prepared as follows: Mix 50
pounds of wheat bran, = pounds Of
paris green, and 6 finely chopped or
an@eS or lemons. Then bring the whole
mixture to the consistency Of a stiff
dough by the addition Of a cheap mo-

adding water when necessary. Dis
tribute this bait over the infested field
In small Jumps, taking care to sprinkle
1T sparingly around each hill. In case
bran cannot be readily obtained, mid
dlings or alfalfa meal may be success
fully substituted.
frequently cutwOrms migrate to
cultivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running a marrow
band OF the poisoned bait around the
edge Of the field or along the side
nearest the source Of infestation.
