Although Great Britain guards Jealous
ly her methods of dealing with the sub
marine menace, a passage from Havre to
Southampton and return reveals good
deal to the observer, as the boat crossing
the channel each night makes the trip in
company with whatever other steamers
are bound across, and all are carefully
conveyed by a yeritable flock of protect
ing craft One reason why travel between
France and England is so restricted and
why it is so difficult to cross nowadays
is: both governments realize it is impos-
sible to blind civilian passengers from all
the naval sights that they must see.
Having made the trip last month and
realizing through my dealings with the
censorship what must not be mentioned,
can describe to a certain extent the pre-
cautions that are being taken to safe
guard ships crossing the channel, and to
describe specifically the type Of war
craft that have this duty in charge Ger
tain things. of course, may not be men
toned, and others may be alluded to only
In general way. without any attempt at
description.
Vessels crossing from France to Eng
land. and vice versa, usually leave in
compact squadron after sunset, and gen.
orally no boats except the passenger
steamer make the crossing on the bright
est moonlight nights of the month They
are conveyed by a certain number of the
new submarine destroyers, by torpedoboat
destroyers, and often these are REIN
forced by couple of fast gunboats or
light cruisers

"Chasers" and "Destroyers."
The submarine chasers" are extremely
lengthy craft of very narrow beam, the
hull resembling that of torpedo boat
destroyer. There is one marked difference
between Submarine destroyers' and any
other power propelled craft, however, and
that is that these new boats have no fun

smokestacks there is only long oval
grating raised from the deck and Just aft

Patches Should Be Kept
Quite Clear Of Dead Stalks
and Branches.
IN FALL BEST TIME
Sooner the Better" Wisest
Rule With This as With
Other Cares.

Raspberry and blackberry growers
have q task that comes with no other
kind of fruit growing. To be sure
there is thinning and trimming in all
the orchards, but the cane field men
must go over their patches once a
year and remove the canes which
but lately were fruit laden. Where a
few months ago they picked dimes
and dollars daily. there are now dead
stalks which must be discarded. The
proper time to remove this wastage
is a much discussed matter. The cor
rect theory Is that the sooner the
better. That means the months fol-
lowing the harvest from September
Is to November l. This is the best
time because the quicker all insects
and germs which may harbor in the
dead canes are removed the better
The brush heap incinerated at the
earliest possible date Is good sense.
But the practice Is usually differ
ent from theory. Perhaps in most
cases our farmers are too busy in the
fall with harvesting and threshing to
do this work and SO leave it to the
comparative leisure Of winter. In To-
calities where the canes do not have
to be covered during the winter the
work can readily be done then. How
ever most cane fruit men let their
canes go Until spring. When the first
warm days come and the canes are
uncovered (provided they had winter
protection) they should be carefully
gone over and all the deadwoOd cut
out. This may include some winter
killed canes as well as the old ones
which have died q natural death. Cut
the canes off as close to the ground
as possible and trim back ones you
leave, lest they get too overgrown
Trailing branches should always be
removed and the tops cut on the new
canes to uniform height. This serves
two purposes, it improves the looks OF
the patch and keeps the canes from
growing too long and spindly, and
where this latter occurs the fruit
yield is considerably lessened and the
picking made more difficult. In many
patches especially where the plants
are close together. it has been found
a good idea to loosely tie the three or
four canes left on each bush to-
gether. SO that they support each
other ana not obstruct the spaces be-
nnween and get il the way OF cult
! htion. Like any other crop, raspber-
ry and blackberry bushes need fire.
quent cultivation which not only
serves to save the moisture but is in
ductive to fruit setting as we'll. If
the cane field has had n top dressing
of manure in the fall. this should he
raked off and burned at the same
time as the dead canes. Always burn
this refuse from the berry patch as it
harb6rs insects that may be harm
full to many of the orchard crops.

Chicago, March 3.-Estimates that

States during the next four months

prices. Largely in consequence the

Snowfalls in the southwest retarded
more or less the advance Of new crop
deliveries of wheat. Nevertheless the
buying power in the market seemed ia
show no curtailment.
Corn established a new high price
record. The reasons were that the hog
market was still soaring and that lat
est reckonings put the domestic farm
reserves of corn at the lowest aggrc-
gate since 1898. Oats responded IN
lively fashion to the strength of other
grains.
Urgent export demand for lard was

vision market to unprecedented levels
