NE TESTED RED RASPBERRIES-G GARDEN QUERIES-POUITR1

Recently fell heir to n small fruit
plantation in which eight varieties Of
red raspberries had been planted to
determine which were best for local
conditions. The plants had been only
fairly well managed. but being young
--only two seasons old-it was not
difficult to get them into good shape.
One conspicuous lack in the patch IL
Cuthbert. The former owner, think
ing this "only a commercial or mar
ket sort" had not planted 1t. This
seems to me a pity because It is such
a we'll known standard that 1t should
serve as the best kind of guide as to
the value Of the others However. its
Sport" the Golden Queen, had been
planted and had made the best growth
of any variety in the test.
Golden Queen, as its name implies,
10 a yellow fruited variety, the only
really good raspberry of its color. The
fruits are as large and fine favored
as Cuthbert. They are borne during
d long season and in great profusion.
For home use and for the novelty Of
the thing in the local market 1t is well
worth growing. The principal fault
find with 1t is that It produces suckers
too lavishly. In spite Of three .hoeings
during the early half OF the season
the row was a veritable thicket at the
close OF the season. OF all varieties
grown In the patch 1t Is also the tallest.
Many Of the canes exceed eight feet
and the majority that grew all season
fully six feet.
At the opposite extreme as a plant
maker is King. 1t is the easiest red
variety know to keep In hills and the
best to cultivate both ways. In fact II
II almost as easily managed in this
respect as a black cap raspberry. The
canes, while not so large as Golden
Queen, are sturdy and of good height
about six feet. The berries are very
large and of a beautiful red. but not
of the highest quality. They separate
very easily from the stems, in fact
drop almost badly" From the home
and the local market standpoint this is
a fault because much OF the fruit would
fall to the ground and be lost, but from
the commercial and drying standpoint
Il Is an asset because the berries can
be easily DATED Off"
Herbert is even larger than King
and OF much finer quality. This is one
Of, our Canadian cousins, having
originated at Ottawa. It has prov ed
perfectly hardy. The plants were
younger than those of other varieties
in the patch, so a comparison as to
growth and prolificacy would be I'M
fair; of all the varieties in the planta-
ton. however, it made the best i'm
preston.
Columbian and Cardinal were two
other varieties which bore well, but
the color and the flavor Of their fruit
Is against them for eating raw. They
are dull purple and very acid for rasp-
berries. Because of these points they
are not suited for dessert fruit, but
are better adapted for canning and jam
making. NJ. @. KAINs

THE VALUE OF WATER.

No matter how much manure, nj
trate. potash. commercial. fertilizer or
lime has been used on the flower or
vegetable garden. all is OF no avail
unless there is an ample supply OF
water. 1t Is for this reason probably
that II has been said that water is
the best fertilizer there is. Water
alone is not sufficient, but in any
case where 1t is possible the increased
production OF food or flowers will well
repay an ample supply Of water.
Do not wait until the hot weather
OF Summer. but bring out the hose
or watering can and begin supplying
water Immediately.

Tbs Big Quastion--Its Answer

Why do so many experienced
farmers fail to make the most
of their opportunities-fail to
gather in the full profit their
farm offers them? It's because
they haven't learned the meth
DDS used by men who average,
per acre, so bushels Of corn, 2
bales of cotton, 80 bushels Of
wheat. SIS bushels of oats, and
other crops equally good.
The average farmer is making
costly mistakes every day and
is not getting the amount of
profit he could get, merely
because he doesn't take heed
of the experience of others
the wonderful new discoveries
and results achieved by ex-
perts through new methods he
lets pass by-and one year
plays follow master" after
the other, doing the same
things, the same way, with the
same results.

Love Affairs of a Lonely Woman
By MARY HALE

 "whither away?" asked Jane Brown, of her beaming compainion. "Remem- Der I must only stay out about an hour. Mrs. Salden does not approve of me, or my callers, you know"
 Then she suddenly remembered about the unpleasant visit of Billy Burns. Holladay had explained that he had waiting on the block for more -sas4H Au 4Snr. Why had he not seen shs other man, ssa wondered.
 "Th6rs simple, although not at all to tny ersdirf explained the writer.

I suppose my horn-rimmed glassed were glued to that exhibit just about the time that Burns came and went. Well me, what did he say and do?"
 Jane recounted the adventure, hesitat- ing and her eyes lowered with shame. She determined, bravely enough, to conceal nothing and at the mention of Burns phrase q want to see my sweet heart" the tall young man at her side clenched his hands furiously.
 That's enough to justify an encore on what l gave him the other night! declared Holladay. T owe you ten thousand apologies for my share of it all-for even introducing you to him, Miss Brown.
 Jane Brown placed her little hand upon Holladay's arm, as her eyes sought his.
 You should not feel that way" she said. T know your chivalry and your generosity-you have already proved that. Mr. Burns-and what q misnomer to dignify him with MT. ."--is one of those unpleasant characters that one must meet in life, I suppose. In the past my little humdrum Schedule of life has been so colorless and my. en vironment So simple that it was an i'm possibility to meet such a man."

Why America Went to War

From the Review
 For sheer bad taste it might be hard to choose between Sir Edward Carson s serious admonition'' to America: You attend to your own affairs" and the re- ply of a Sim Fein enthusiast in this country: America won the war and therefore a right to dictate the terms Of peace" The fomentor of rebellion in Ulster happens to have the right Of 1t as against the fomentor of rebellion in the rest of Ireland. Most assuredly it is none of our business. There are few things that give promise of causing more trouble in the world than our thought less encouragement of finish nationalistic propa ganda in this country. Nothing could be more absurd than the Sim Fein contention that America went to war to bring self-determination to all the oppressed peoples of the earth. America went to war to rid herself and the world of the German menace. Hav- ing aided materially in the achievement of that purpose, Americas interference in the internal affairs of the British Em- pire would be just as improper and just as fraught with danger to the well-being of the world as it would have been be- fore the war

 He finds fault with New York, and compares it unfavorably with his own
