berries for market.
II Pay* to Raise Them. Provided the
Crop Is Disposed Of in the Riftht
Way and Place.
Having been asked, by a farmer sub
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 la
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. Then
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 $40 worth of straw
berries in a day. I remember selling

one picking off one row the length of ten
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

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
A Simple System Which Will Pay for
Itself in the Conrsc of a
Single Week.
Market gardeners, and even the mak
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 to
unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown
In the accompanying illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire

ports about a foot 'vide.

a j Arif wide, and as long as the rows ot
plants over which it is to be used. The
cloth can he divided into three strips,
each strip being tacked at one end to a
rerl, and at the other end to a 15-inch
rod of wood. Stick the sides of the reel
fcito the earth at one end of the row with
wire supports at intervals along the row,
and pull the cloth along over the plants,
fastening the end at the las*', wire sup
port, as shown in the cut. Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
to keep the latter from blowing off the
wire supports below it. Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no
longer need cover. — Orange Judd
Farmer.
Tike Ris'ht Way of Pruning.
Bet a green hand to pruning trees,
where limbs of any size are to b« re
moved. and the chances are ten to one
that he will commence on the d$per
Bide of the limb and saw it off, sawing
through until, by its own weight, it falls,
tearing down the bark and wood, inflict
ing an ugly wound which it may require
years to heal, and which, if not carefully
protected from the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
prevent injury to the tree, saw one
fourth or one-third through on the under
aide, and then saw on the upper side, or,
with very large limbs, to have them sup
ported by a crotched pole, held by an as
sistant below.—N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.
* Starting Barly Vegetables.
Select a warm, sunny place, dig a
trench four feet deep, fill with horse ma
nure well packed down and made moiBt,
put on six inches fine soil, cover with
saab and let stand a few days. Then
plant sweet potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes
and celery. If the bed Is big enough, cut
choice Irish potatoes to one eye, fill
small pasteboard boxee with soil and
plant one in each. When soil is warm
enough they can easily be transplanted.
Cover the bed with heavy straw matting
and boards in cold storms. Tbs back
part of the bed should bs raised so the
saah slopes to the south to catch the rays
of the sun and carry off rain.—M. Peet,

MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Powers at War for “Bangor’s
Golden Slippers.”
Inquiries have been rereived in
Bangor, Me., from persons sup
posed to represent either the Eus
sian or the Japanese government
concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities and the earli
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen of
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gcvr in 1851. At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for w’omen and children—
soft as kid and embroidered with
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Much of the sewing is still done
by hand, being let out by the piece
to FreDch Canadian families in
the neighborhood of Bangor. All
moecasin-s are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en yellow by a peculiar process of
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
ings. and that is a strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocca
si a leather still comes from the
place of its origin, Pawtucket,
R I., although a considerable
quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Rome years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing.
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
aie not really moccasins, but are
made from soft elk skin, are in
gi eatdemand at home and abroad,
aud are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It
n< w seems likely that “Bangor’s
golden slippers,” as moccasins are
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD
H..»r Crew Made a Brave Start, Bui
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen
ticated story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built in England,
While she was building her erew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
her. When she was finished the
Japanese seamen took possession
of her, bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
And that, to be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely. The
trouble only began when she came
back to port again. Then, when
they wanted to slow her down and
stop her, they were unable to do
so.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her
about till her fires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she could be towed in.
From this to having the best
mentally equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been a very rapid one.
Insect Senses.
Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lack. That of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its nest in a sandbank
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp that unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are hatched.
