BERRIES FOR MARKET.
If Par* to Ralae Them, Provided tk* i
Crop la Disposed Of In the Rlffkt
Wap and Place.
Having been asked, by a fanner tub
scriber, if it will pay to grow berries
for market, in reply I will say "yes”—
if the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed of in the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get. if any, are
second class—the overflow or refuse
from the cities, where the market is
often glutted. The commission men
send circulars out before the berries
are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
from the south, inducing many home
growers to ship. By the time their ber
ries get ripe the demand is supplied,
prices drop, and the berries being a per
ishable product, have to be sold for
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities, pickers are
cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable
Berries that get too ripe on account of
rain, and which will not do to ship, can
be sold in the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, etc.,
are saved, also crates and boxes. Thfen
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many, and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
It Is a mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents a
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. I
have had boys and girls under 16 years
old make a dollar a day. I, 18 years
ago, sold as high as 840 worth of straw
berries In a day. I remember selling
five dollars worth of raspberries from
one picking off one row the length often
acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years
ago, were not profitable, as so many
grew wild; but of late years, growing
blackberries has become more profitable
—Jacob Faith, in Midland Farmer.
PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
a Simple System Which WTTI Pay foa
Itself in the Coin* •( a
Single Weelc.
Market gardeners, and even the mak- i
er of a kitchen garden, feel the need of
some wholesale means of protecting
newly set plants from the drying effects
of sun or air. A cloudy day Is usually
taken for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
any moment, and much harm be done be
unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown
m the accompanying Illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire
Make the reel roller and the wire sup
ports about a foot wide.
Now buy a lot of cheap cotton cloth

plants over which it Is to be used. The
cloth can be dlyided into threA strips,
+ach strip being tacked at one end to a
re>vl, and at tbe other end to a 15-inch
rod of wood. Stick the sides of the reel
into the earth at one end of the row with
oire supports at Intervals along the row,
rod pull the cloth along over tbe plants,
fastening the end at the last wire sup
>ort, a* shown In the cut Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
:o keep the latter from blowing off the
wire supports bslow it Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no
longer need cover. — Orange Judd

nerves to the various organs.
If you are tired, nervous,
irritable, cannot sleep; have
headache, feel stuffy, dull and

rheumatism, backache, peri
odical pains, indigestion, dys
pepsia, stomach trouble, or the

your life-current is weak.
Power-producing fuel is need

energy—strengthen the nerves.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Ner
vine is the fuel you need. It
feeds the nerves, produces nerve
force, and restores vitality.
“When I began taking Dr. Miles’
Restorative Nervine and Anti-Rain
, Rills I was confined to my bed. I
had severe nervous spells, the result
of two years illness with malaria. I
gradually grew so weak that I was
unable to sit up. The spells would
commence with cola chills, and I
would become weak and almost help
less. My circulation was poor. I
had doctored right along but grew
weaker and weaker. The Nervine
seemed to strengthen me right away
and my circulation was better. I have
taken In all seven bottles of the
Nervine, and I am entirely well.”
