A Splendid Specimen Cluster.
(Py W. H. UNDERWOOD.)
y Tho raspberry can bo cheaply grown;
with proper care and management It
Is as sure a crop as corn. Its period
of ripening covora a greater length of
time than any other small fruit, last
ing from four to five weeks If early,
medium, and late varieties aro grown.
Any soil that will produce 40 to CO
bushels of corn to the acre is suffi
ciently rich for raspbeirles. The
most essential point Is to secure a
line, well-pulverized soil, In which tho
roots can grow below the effects of dry
weather.
Tho more there aro of the- fine, or
working roots to each plant, tho larg
er tho growth, and tho hotter will bo
tho crop. As these roots, require a
loose soil In which to work, It Is never
best to plant on ground that cannot
be thoroughly pulverized.
Plow tho soil for a depth of about
six Inches, harrow it well and then
level It down smoothly with a roller.
Then mark it out by stretching a line
whore tho row Is to bo made, making
tho rows eight feet apart.
Dig wedge-shaped holes with a long
narrow spade, by inserting It-in a po
sition about eight Inches from the line
In such a position that tho point will
reach almost under the line, then with
draw it without romoving any of tho
soil, again inserting It at the lino near
ly perpendicular, so that tho point will
reach tho same placo reached the first
timo, removing tho soil between the
two cuts, as yqu withdraw the spade,
making tho holes ?i feet apart.
Before they dry out set tho plants,
holding them against tho sldo of the
bole where the line is with tho left
hand, and draw tho mellow soil in with
tho right, pressing it firmly.
Use only flrst-clasB tlp3, covering tho
roots three or four inches deep, which
prevents tho bushes from being blown
over by heavy winds. I am confident
that more failures aro due to tho lack
of cultivation, than to any other cause.
If the best results to be attained are
desired, a row of corn, potatoes, or
some garden crop Bhould bo grown in
every space between tho rows the first
year, and the patch cultivated every
week or ten days, from tho time they
are planted until tho first of August.
After tho first year they should bo
cultivated five or six times each sea
son. I use only a five-toothed cultiva
tor and horse-hoe in cultivating. For
largo bushes the handlo of tho culti
vator can bo set over one side, thus
Blackberries Trained to a Ten-Foot
i
enabling the shovels to run as near
bushes as necessary. I enrich the
ground from timo to time, as tho good
of tho bushes requires.
When tho young plants are about
four inches high, thin out to one cane
In each hill. When tho cane Is about
12 incheB high, I pinch out tho bud.
This can be done with tho thumb and
linger, and will cause the plants to
throw out laterals.
After pinching out tho bud, do no
more trimming until the next spring.
Then cut the laterals back to about
eight Inches in length.
HINTS PICKED UP
IN THE ORCHARD
Set Trees Trifle Deeper Than
They Stood in Nursery Row
Avoid All Air Spaces.
(Dy U M. BENNINGTO'N.)
In transplanting your trees set them
the same depth, or a trifle deeper
than they stood in tho nursery row.
Sun-scald Is death to trees. Valu
able young trees can be protected by
a cylinder of heavy paper; not much
trouble and it pays.
Of course, you will spray your trees
at least once, and perhaps twice this
spring, but how about your neighbor
who sprays not at all? How can you
protect yourself against tho pests thnt
aro driven from his orchard into
yours?
Applo trees that have been long neg
lected should not bo pruned too se
verely the first season. Too much sun
on branches that have always been
shaded will Injure them.
It Is not necessary to slash away at
your trees every year. Prune Just
enough to keep them In shape and
prevent useless sprouts from sapping
tho treo'B strongth.
Never chop off a limb that is more
than one inch thick. Use a saw. Al
ways leave a smooth surfaco on tho
stub.
It is all right to cultivate some low
growing crops between young trees.
Early potatoes and early cabbage
would do woll for this sort of work.
When theso are out of the way sow
clover as a cover crop for winter and
turn it under in the spring.
Trellis and Loaded With Fruit
The teirloncy to porsovcre, to persist
In splto of hindrances, discouragements
nnd Impossibilities, It Is this that In nil
thhiKs distinguishes tho strong soul
from tho cuk. Carlyle.
QUEEN OF BERRIE8.
Of all the fruits which aro so boun
tifully given us, thero is nono eo wel
come, nono bo refreshing
na tho strawberry. It 1b
found In almost all quar
ters of tho globo nnd
prized by nil nationali
ties. Tho Orook calls It
"scarcely a mouthful;"
4Uo Romans called It
"Fragarln," bocauBo of
Its exqulslto perfume; poets have sung
,lts praises in every land and clime,
nnd at banquets under the shadow
of tho Acropolis It held tho placo of
lovo. It wns the practical Anglo
Saxon who took tho poetry all out
of the beautiful name of Fragarla and
hamed it strawberry, because of tho
custom of placing straw under tho
vines to raise tho berries from tho
soil Others say It la tho tiny straw
4r tho berry which gives It Us name.
However that may be, a strawberry by
any other name would taste as Bweet.
Physicians concur In placing straw
berries In their catalogue of pleasant
remedies.
Tho wild straw borry, picked In the
open field, where It has absorbed tho
sun's raja and doveloped Its Bweet
Juiciness, has a flavor unexcelled by
tho choicest cultivated berry.
Thero aro somo unfortunate Individ
uals who aro unable to eat this borry
without 111 effects. Tho reason for this
is not fully explained, says Thompson,
"for the analysis of tho berry falls to
show any product which is peculiar to
Itself." "There must bo some combi
nation of nclds or other materials ex
isting in thlB berry which Is excep
tionally irritating to somo persons."
It may be that thoy (tho persona)
have a digestive acid which combinca
with tho vegetable acid In some chom
ical change which causes tho disturb
ance, e-
The strawberry contains an abun
dance of salts of potash, lime and
soda which acts upon tho body secre
tions beneficially.
Tho addition of a dash of red pepper
or a pinch of soda to berries for
people who have a personal ldloByn
cracy against them will help some to
digest thorn without trouble. Lemon
julco is another aid to some, and for
those who suffer from flatulent dys
pepsia, says Thompson, "ubo no sugar
with the fruit."
W.icn tho world hurts, then speedily
we turn
Vo ono dear place, whore lovo may
not dlscorn
Tho worst that Is within us; whore
mean hato
Oatneth no entrance; all Invlolato
This Bpot from sorrow, and Its scared
name
Is home tho harbor holding naught

FOODS EN CASSEROLE.

We do not ask you to do
our experimenting
Dnrlnp; tho twenty-ono years In which wo hnvo tecn
building' motor cars, wo hnvo never oslecd tho public to do our
experimenting-. Every unit of tho Hayncs car is designed,
checked and thoroughly tested beforo recolvlnfritsflnalO.lt.
Tho American Slmma Dual High Tension Magneto la
positively the most slmplo dual ignition ovor dovlsed. It
waa recommended by tho Hayncs engineers after careful
speed nnd compression tests proved beyond doult that 1 tf
was unusually oftlclent and absolutely dopendablo.
Tho Looce-Novlllo Starting and Lighting Soparato
Unit System waa choson In 1910 because of Its high effi
ciency and has boon used on tho Hayncs car ever since,
although numerous other starting and lighting systoma
have been tostcd in our laboratories from time to timo.
This system is dusj-proof and has provon itsolf 100 effi
cient iu every instance. Thero Isno apparatus, however, on the
HAYHfig
Amtricas
that has been subjected to a more severe test than tho Vulcan
Electrio Gear Shift. This device Isevenagrcatcr improvement
thau tho startln g and lighting' system, because it not only sim
plifies tho control but positively prevents stripping of gears.
Whllo tho electrio gear shift ia a great invention, it la
not radically now, being just a natural dovolopmont of tho
oloctro-magnot, which has been in ubo slnco 1820. Tho
samo principle ia used by steel companies to lift tons and
tons of metal; tho electrio railways adopted it long ago to
shift switches automatically, and tho llttlo hammer that
strikea the bell In your tolephono is actuated by tho im
pulso of a similar magnet,
Tho naynes car-Is not an experiment. It represents
the height, of refinement, convenience and reliability In
motor car design. It's tho year-ahead car.
