How %o GROW BLACKBERRIES. | Dear Editor Social Cormer: As Pa nakes inquiry through Ma as to the cuitivation of blackberries, I will say the best patch of cultivated blackber- ries I have seen was grown on wet Jand overleid with a foot or two of sifted coal ashes. In this day of hybrid varieties it is not easy to select the best. The Law- Ton blackberry, also known as the | New Rochelle, was the leader for a | great many years, and it still holds its | g{hce in spite of the La Grange, the | ersereau, the Taylor and the Ward. Brackberries may be grown on any ! good garden soil. They should be set | three feet apart in the row and the: rows should be five feet apart. The | root-cutting plants are so superior to | the sucker plants, it does not pay to bother with the latter. The canes should be headed back in summer when they are three feet high by pinching off the tops, which causes | them to throw out side branches; i ‘when this has been neglected, cut back | in winter or early spring, the bearing canes one-third or more, according to the growth the plants have made, and cut back the side branches to 12 or_13 inches. The Joy blackberry is a leader now ‘because it has a vigorous habit, is so stout it needs no staking, is a heavy fruiter and will not winter-kill, and it is freest from fungus diseases. It is a midseason berry, coal black, of Juscivus flavor and promises to rank first of all. It has a beautiful foliage and it is because “a thing of beauty is :. joy forever” that the fruit was called oy. I hope Pa will make a splendid suc- | cess of blackberry growing. JOSEPH DOE.

Dear Editor and are a few help: that I hope may many: | In case of drowning, first loosen ths | clothing, if any: empty lungs of wa- | ter by ving Dbody on its stomach and lifting it by the middle so the | head hangs down. Jerk the body a few times. Pull the tongue forward, using handkerchief, or pin with string if necessary. Imitate motion of res piration by alternately compressing and expanding the lower ribs about twenty times a minute. Alternately the arms from the sides up above the head will stim- ulate the action of the lungs. Let it be done rently, but persistently. Ap- ply warmth and friction to extremi- ties By holding tongue forward, clos- ing pressing the some. Cornerites: Here in case of accidegts prove beneficial to } the nostrils and Adam’s apple back (so as to close entrance to the stomach) direct infia- tion can be tried; take a deep breath and breath it forcibly into the mouth of patient, compress the chest to expel the air and repcit the operation. Don't give un! People have heen saved af- ter patient vigorous effort. When breathing begins take patient into a warm bed give warm drinks, its in teaspoonfuls, fresh air and quiet. Burns and Scalds—Cover with cook ing soda and lay wet cloths over the burns- whites of-ezgs mixed with olive oil is also very good, olive oil or lin seed ofl, plain, or mixed with chalk or whiting, rubbed on the burned surface is also good. 2 Lightning—Dash cold water over a person that has been struck. For Sunstroke—-Loosen clot! first, fhen get the patient in the shade and apply ice cold water to the head.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. THE FLAG IS OUT! Dear Social Corner Sisters: The flag | is out. The house has been swept, | and iron- | ed, vacuum-cleaned, and 1 am home | again! But like the immortal Finne- gan, I am soon “off agin.” Theodore will tell you all about it. You know there is nothing like ask- | ing a busy women to do one more thing. ‘Would you like to know my senti- ments in regard to a pin? And I hope no one will misjudge me in the matter. For if you remember, I was the one who wrote The Corner the Williman- tic Sisterhood had adopted the yellow bow. Well, I don't approve; and noth- ing would induce me to wear one. I| feel this way about the pins of va- rioua societies I belong to. I once knew a girl who had so many society pins she pinned them on a ribbon and used them for a belt. No doubt she would join our Corner for the sake of a pin.” Another thing. Who really belongs to The Corner? The person who only writes occasion- ally, or who writes often, or the vast number of interested readers who never miss a letter? I can think of as many as ten peo- ple who are going to read this letter and be glad to hear directly from me, who have never written a letter to The Corner themselves, but who enjoy our stories and our jokes, try our re- cipes and profit as well as writers by Aren’t they sls- ters, too Polly Peppermint: You should be herg and hear the birds sing.

Dear Editor and All Social Corner Writers: To come right to the point at once, I will say I wish to have a Social Corner lawn party at my house on 1y 21st. You can reach me co ill have t& walk to and from the station. The distance is about three-quarters of a mile, mostly uphill, but not a bad | road. Not knowing how many to provide for, will say it will be best to have a basket lunch. I will furnish cof- fee, etc. If those who are interested enough to come, will seng me a card with their address, I will answer each one with full directions how to find me. There will be accommodations for all who care to’ drive. If you will simpiy address all cards to Blissful, Yantic, Conn., they will reach me.

THE COMFORT OF GOOD CLOTHES Editor of the Social Corner: While living in Chicago I often noticed ice- men and other day laborers who were rooming at places where they could sit in the opening and watch the city activities in the last part of the day. They came home and immediately changed their work clothes for much better and more dressy garments. Then, thus dressed, would sit where they could see the moving mass and rest. _Hawthorne in his English notes speaks with sympathy of the tollgrs who even when they had a holiday have no Sunday clothes to emphasize the day. The American toller has them even for an evening's rest. What must be the feeling to have no second best clothes. Can the American workman who is willing to work (Not the I. W. W. crowds) real- ize the deprivation? I have spent much time going about in the rural districts of most of our states, and T have vet to meet the willing work- man who did not have a Sunday set of clothes. T have met well-to-do farmers who scoffed at wearing good clothes on an occasion, but that did not lessen my respect for a proper dress. The world at large is influenced by clothes more | than ma rural Clothes not only people realize. have a subtle in- fluence in every mneighborhood; but they often swing a hasty judgment. Jobs have often- been lost and won by clothes. Democrats we may be, but we cannot get rid of the glamour cast | by good clothes. OLD MA’AM WILSON. isconsin. MARY’S COOKIES.

Dear Members of the ner: “What is so rare as a day in June,” the month that can boast of more brides and grooms than two or three of the other months put togeth- er. They enter the State of Matrimony (the capital of which is Union) with great prospects, confident that noth- ing lies in their path but Perpetual Bliss. Whether they find this Per- petual Bliss or not lies wholly with much significance In a child as in the adult. With the onset of fever it is usually eafe to administer a cathartic and stop food. Plenty of water to drink may be allowed if there is not excessive vomiting. In fact, cold water | helps to take down the fever and | dilute any poisonous products within the body; also, sponge the temples and wrists with cold water. If the mother has not controled the fever within 12 hours, or made sure-of the cause of it, she should call a doctor. Colds—The best way to treat colds is to prevent them.

One in particular that perhaps some of the writers may like to try: Cure for Corns—If a corn-cripple will take a lemon, cut a plece off the end, then nick it so as to let in the toe with the corn, the pulp next the corn, (tie on at night so it cannot move) they will find next morning that with a blunt kfiife the corn wiil come away to a great extent. Two or thres applications of this will make a poor corn-cripple happy for life. Sure Cure for Warts—At bed time wet the wart with cold water and rub baking soda on. Do this every night until you can see the wart is disap~ pearing. WANDBRING JEW.
