j. f i - of velvet.” Making ‘the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD A little interest and effort on the part of the family will make a success of fruit on a small farm. The work is not incessant, but it is important at times and requires intelligence and en- ergy. Small fruits pay well in almost any locality, and they are so easily managed that amateurs need not hesi- tate about making this a prominent feature in their program. Raspberries turn many a rough and idle spot Into protitable land. A farm- er who does not make a few hundred dollars a year from berries is not up to souff. Black raspberries are usually set two and one-half feet apart in the row, with the rows six feet apart. Planted among the trees of an orchard the red raspberry will do rather better than the black. It is not best to put them closer than eight feet from the trees. Iall planting of red raspberries in severe latitudes is not to be recom- mended. None of the red raspberry family is of ironclad hardiness, and the young plants when transplanted in the fall are much more subject to severe or fatal injury from freezing than they would be if well established. Spring planting is by all means preferable in sections of the country where the tem- perature drops to or below zero. The plants of the red sorts are termed suck- ers and should be transplanted at one year old, at which age they rarely have more than one cane, which should be cut back to eight or ten inches at time of transplanting. Prepare the ground as for a crop of potatoes, making furrows for the plants. Set the young plants in the BRASPBERRIES TURN IDLE BPOTS INTO PROFITABLE LAND. bottom of the furrow, but cover only a few inches at first and draw in soil as they gr While berries do not thrive in soggy land, they like plenty of moisture in the soil, and sprinkling can be done to advantage. In setting out currant bushes one should be careful to select a place where there is plenty of light and air. They do not require especially fertile soll, but they do need the sunlight and air. If possible do not put the bushes where they will be weighted down by Snow in the winter, for this breaks the branches. The ground should be worked thor- oughly and deep before setting out the bushes, for after the planting only a very shallow cultivation can be done, as the currants are a surface rooting plant. Rotted manure is one of the best fertilizers for working into the land, and after the currant bushes have been set out this will be found excel- lent as mulch. Hardy one-year-old plants are found to be among the best for starting a new plece. The plants begin to bear the year after planting and come into full maturity in the third year. If they are given care they will produce paying crops for a score of years. Pruning should be done in the early spring, cutting out all the dead and weak branches and heading back most vigorous growth. It will be seen that the currant is an easy plant to raise as well as a very profitable one. The same is true of the gooseberry. Very few diseases attack these plants. The currant worm can be killed by applying pyrethrum pow- def. If there is any disease found to be among the branches it is best to cut off the afflicted ones at once and thus prevent the spread of the trouble. The methods of caring for the goose- berry plants are practically the same as those used in dealing with currants. It was formerly thought that goose- berries would do best in a shady place. but this Is not true. Mildew will at- tack them if they are kept.shaded. The only thing to prevent this is to have the plants kept open at the top. “Plowsole.” | This is an artificial hardpan very commonly formed in the practice of plowing to the same depth year after yedr. A packed layer is thus formed by the action of the plow, which acts exactly like natural bardpan in pre- Yenting the passage of water down- ward and the moisture upward. This condition, or “plowsole,” is more often found in clayey soils and greatly in- creases the difficulty of working them, Of course it is perfectly easy to. pre- vent this trouble by plowing at various depths from time to time. In this case Hme will generally be found useful in materially aiding the disintegration of the “plawsole.”—Purdue Agriculturist. Seed Corn From Shock. Seed corn taken from shock corn which has stood in the field most of, the winter has been found to give mo better germination test than 1% per cent in some instances. Such corn cannot be used for seed with any de- gree of success. Corn is not allowed ta dry out well in the shock, and when frequent freezing and thawing begins the vitality of the corn soon vanishes.

Mr. Maurice Baring, when in Russia, found that uearly every soldier he met knew it well. “When a few years ago a schoolmaster in the Tambor govern- ment told me that ‘Paradise Lost’ was the most popular book in the village - brary,” he writes, *“1 was astonished and thought it an isolated instance. At a fair In Moscow during passion week * * * | noticed that there were five or six different editions of transla- tons of Milton’s poem, with fllustra- tions, ranging in price from 12 rubles to 30 kopeks, and while I was looking at oue of them a moujik came up to me and advised me to buy it. ‘It’s very interesting,’ he said. ‘It makes one laugh and cry.’ * * * It is possible to purchase ‘Paradise Lost’ at almost every village booth.”—London Graphic.
