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.

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
