RAISE CROP OF RAsPBERRIEs
Yields In Different Sections Vary
oreatiy-Secure Plants From Re-
liable Nurseryman.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Yields from raspberry plantations
vary greatly according to the varieties
raised. the care given them, and the
conditions under which they are grown.
In the eastern United States 1t Is
agreed generally that in sections to
which they are adapted the purple
sorts are the most productive, the
blackcaps next, and the red varieties
the least productive. Records of red
raspberry growers In New York State
Indicate that the average yield is be-
tween 1900 and 400 quarts per acre,
while the best fields go as high as 1000
quarts. Black raspberries in the same
state average between 1,4OO quarts
per acre and the purple varieties aver
age between 100 and 2,30O quarts.
Yields in different sections as well as
from different varieties vary greatly.
Plants of the different varieties of
raspberries may be secured from any
reliable nursery and usually in start
ing a new plantation this is done.
Many growers having an established
plantation propagate their own stock.
To propagate new plants, the tips
OF the new canes of black raspberries
and of the purple varieties now under
cultivation should be buried In moist
soil in late summer. BY the following
spring. the tips will have rooted and
formed good plants. The cane then
should be severed, leaving four to
eight inches of cane with the new
plant which Is TO be set in the field.
If the tips of the canes of black and
purple varieties are pinched of when
they are about - inches high, the
canes will branch freely and large
number of tips for burying will be Sc
cured. With many growers the first
crop from both black and purple rasp-
berry plantations Is a crop of plants.
In fact, large part of the plants dis
tributed by nurserymen are produced
in this way by raspberry growers, who
in turn sell them to nurserymen.
Red raspberries send up new canes
from the base of the old canes, as do
black and purple varieties. In addi-
ton, they send up suckers from un-
derground roots at various distances
from the crown of the parent plant.
In starting new plantation the strong
est of these suckers are used. II
quantity of plants for setting is needed
each year for several years. 1t may
prove desirable TO take up all plants
in a given part of the field, both the
old ones and the suckers. BY the fol-
lowing year, solid stand of plants
suitable for setting will have sprung
up from the pieces of roots left in the

As Destroyers Of Insects and
Plant, Pest, Birds of Great
Value to Garden Growers.

It's maddening to sow seeds In your
garden. lot or farm land and in due
time to discover that the fowls of the
air have devoured them all up"
But could we but remember that
without the birds we could raise little
or nothing of anything, we should not
be so chagrined. declares writer in
the Buffalo News.
Experts who have studied the ques-
tion of birds in relation to crops and
crop conservation agree that our feath-
cred companions are friends indeed.
As destroyers Of insects and plant
pests, birds have great value to the
farmer and gardener.
Food Administrator Hoover has en-
tered the lists on the side of the birds,
and "hopes that the people of the Unit
ed States realize how closely related
to food saving is the protection and en-
courngement of insectivorous and MI
gratory birds"
We do not know just what effect
this statement of Mr.. Hoover's will
have upon the farmer or gardener.
We have grown up to look upon
some birds with certain degree of
suspicion. The crow, for instance
how many farmers feel friendly to-
ward the crows? Very few; Jim Grow
is one of the most unpopular of birds,
yet he has voracious appetite for
grubs, and should not perhaps be be-
grudged the few sprouts of corn that
he pulls up.
And certainly the robin should be
encouraged, as he is no Stacker in rid
ding the garden of insect pests.
Altogether the balance Is in favor OF
the birds. and we hope that more spe
ciic advice on the matter Will follow
and thus we may be educated to the
value of birds as food conservation

BRAKE BANDS MUST BE CLEAN
Use Thin Brush and Kerosene, Rims
Inc of With Gasoline and Permit
Them to Dry.

When brakes do not hold 1t is usu-
ally because the surface of the bands
have become hard and smooth. Clean
them with thin brush and kerosene,
rinse off with gasoline and permit them
to dry. Then spread on lubricating
oil, being sure every spot is covered.
This will raise the fiber, soften the ma
terial and the brakes will be effective.
This should be done at night, for 1t
will be dangerous to attempt using the
car until the oil has had a chance to
do its work.

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Examine Them Carefully Whether on
Pasture or In Barn-keep Toes
Properly Trimmed.

Look frequently at the feet of the
colts, whether on the pasture or In
the barn, and remedy things before
they get bad. Keep the toes trimmed
down to the proper length and do not
allow the heels to run over and get
round. If the feet are kept rounded
on the toe and of the proper length.
the tendency to split and crack will be
reduced to a minimum. In the stable
the feet should be frequently cleaned
and trimmed and the frog kept in its
proper shape.

ground. When these are dug and the
ground is rich, another stand will grow
for the following year. II this prac-
tice is followed, the fruiting planta-
ton need not be disturbed by digging
up sucker plants. Sometimes growers
of the Marlboro and Ruby varieties
wait until suckers appear in the spring
and set these out. Such plants will be
small, but should be very free from
insects and diseases.
Raspberries may be propagated also
by cuttings of the roots or canes il
necessary. In ordinary practice, how
ever, cuttings Of either roots or canes
are rarely used.

SOUND RoUeHAeE FOR SHEEP
II Carefully Fed and Pastured Alfalfa
10 Excellent for All Classes
Of Live Stock.

Alfalfa. If carefully fed and pas
tured, is one of the best roughages
for sheep. The rapid increase in the
production of alfalfa. in the United
States during recent years has resulted
in more careful study of its possi-
bilities as food for all classes of live
stock. Formerly 1t was used primarily
ARa cattle feed, but now 1t is used az
. feed for horses, swine and sheep.

SAVING, NOT BORROWING

(From the Saturday Evening Post. }
Do not let peace talk for a moment
divert your attention from the War
Savings Certificates. Everybody
hopes for peace. Everybody capable
of looking facts In the face knows
that, as yet, no definite sign of peace
is in sight. One thing is certain; the
least sladkening OF Americas war
preparations would be worth signal
victory in the field to the Kaiser. II
would strengthen him at home as
hardly anything else could at this
time.
It Is certain, too. that the more
strenuously America prepares and
fights, the sooner peace will come
Every American should key up his
1918 program decidedly higher thar
his 1917 performance.
The War Savings Stamps and Ger
tiflcates should be going faster thar
they are. They constitute the bes
scheme Of war financing. for they
mean outright saving and no borrow
