' tales Magic Co., Uept. 15, Mtlrose, Mast, (Small Fruits for ilie Jfomo Garden - STRAWBERRIES being discussed elsewhere, wo will consider tho raspberry family, which consists of four sections, according to their colors, the red, black, pink and yel low. Prepare the ground tho same as you would for strawberries or pota toes, or for garden culture, dig In plenty of good well-rotted stable ma nure, and make tho soil flno nnd mellow with tho spado and rako. Make tho furrows six feet apart, and six inches deep, and set tho plants two feet apart In tho rows. Tho old sys tem of growing was to plant In hills, four feet apart every way, but this has almost been aband6ned. Cut back the plants beforo planting to six-inch tops, and set them as deep as they grew before. To support them, set posts twenty feet apart, and run ono wire threo and a half feet from the ground, and train your frultlng-canes to this wire. This Is the method now generally adopted and Is tho cheapest which will give good results. There Is a "bush" system of grow ing raspberries which Is especially adapted to the small home garden. The plants aro set In furrows six feet apart, and threo feet apart in tho furrow. Tho plants should bo trained in bush form instead of vines, by being pinched or cut back during tho summer. Do not let tho leading shoot, or "leader" grow more than threo and a half feet high; tho later als should bo- started near the surfaco of the ground and kept to eighteen Inches In length. It will require con siderable pruning back during tho growing season to make bushy plants, but it is worth tho effort. BY EITHER SYSTEM tho old wood ahnttlrt ha out out nverv vear. ns soon as the leaves drop. Do not do It Just after fruiting as some have ad vised. If you are not sure that you can tell tho old canes from tho new ones at that time of year, when they aro In fruit tlo a pleco of raffla or colored twlno around each cane that has fruit on it. All theso must bo re moved every year as they will not fruit again. Remove them close to tho crown, and clip oft several Inches of the tips of the new canes which have grown during tho summer. Give the soli between and along tho rows a dusting of a good commer cial fertilizer, each year, at the rato ot six hundred pounds per acre, which Is ono hundred pounds to a row ono rod wide and forty rods long. Mulching over winter Is beneficial, which can bo worked into the soil between the rows In the spring. Tho blackberry Is ono of tho most paying of berry crops. It succeeds well in partial shade, and can be grown between fruit trees as an lnter-crop while they aro young. Pre pare tho ground tho same as for rasp berries. Set them out in tho garden or lot where they will compel you to attend to them moro they will soon become worthless. Keep them under control by removing all surplus wood, which is not difficult or expensive If done regularly. They can bo grown as vines or by the bush system the same as given above for tho rasp berry, but they must be planted fur ther apart. When set out cut tho first canes back to six Inches from the ground. Set In rows eight feet apart, and threo feet In tho row. Tho gooseberry, like the currant, does best in partial shade tho east side of a clump of trees or a building suits it exactly. As soon as tho leaves appear, spray the whole bush with a solution of one ounco 01 potassium sulphide to four gallons of water, to prevent mildew. Preparo the soli for the currant the same as for raspberry. Set tho nlants in rows flvo feet apart and four feet apart in tho row. Currants should bo planted as early as possl ble, as this Is the first fruit to start vegetation In tne spring. ' i'.i:iii'i''.'iitoiililtiim' 'i ii'ir Didyouovcrsco a more beauti ful wood than this?

(YHYdott thtullra-eoniervativt Gott.Rtport thiudticritt DouglcuFirt The reason for tho superiority of Douglas FIR for building purposes Is that inproporiion to weight It is the Strongest American Wood U.S.QoTcrnmont tests clearly show the greatly superior strength of. Douglas I'lr and Its vastly lighter weight per thousand feet. The figures ere clear and conclusive. This great strength with light weight, makes Douglas FIR tho Ideal wood for nil framing purposes, from the studding and joists of a coltage to the beams ard columns for large mill-construction buildings. And Douglas FIR Is as beau tiful ns It Is strong, and for Interior finish its "watered silk" effect is most pleusintr, nndlta texture is udaptnble to any finish. The U. S.
