ERRIES FOR MARKET.
■ to Raise Them, Provided the
p Is Disposed Of In the Rlffht
War and Place.
ng been asked, by a farmer sub
, if it will pay to grow berries
rket, in reply I will say "yes”—
business is managed right, and
p 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, j
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 j
quart for |ickers; one cent for straw- I
berries and blackberries and one and 1
one-half to two cents for raspberries. | <
Th© nickers can make p-nrvl wapps 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
five dollars worth of raspberries from
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 i
blackberries has become more profitable i

THAT TIRED SPRING FEELING
Which Comes to Many with the Sea
son That Should Renew
Life and Energy.
There are certain persons to whom the
advent of spring, instead of bringing a
sense of rejuvenescence, provides a very
different sensation, says the London
Lancet The youth of the year, when
nature seems to revel in growth and de
velopment, ought to give, it might be
thought, to the human species, too, a
sense of vigor and of the natural joyful
ness of fecundity. When the birds are
breaking into song and the plants into
flower, poor man might also exult in life
and its annual time of awakening
growth. Yet to many the return of
spring is only the return of a vague
feeling of listless languor, a slack sense
of flatigue that comes without labor
and of weariness that is uncalled for by
my unusual effort.
To those who dwell in cities, at any
rate, spring has trials that are peculiar
to itself. To some extent these arise
from the knowledge that abroad in the
country all is new life, refreshened
vigor, and inspiring atmosphere, while
In town the wonted thraldom is en
hanced by the suspicion of these things
that is gained from the trees and the
plants of public parks and open spaces,
where poor little bits of nature bloom
anly to suggest in vain all that awaits
;he town dweller if he could escape. It
Is not only dissatisfaction, though, at
being unable to partake in nature’s
jaiety that produces the feeling of which
ve speak; something is due to climatic
conditions.
Who does not know the enervating
sense that accompanies the first warm
lay of the year? We may agree with
iohnson that he is a weak creature who
is influenced by the weather, but if we

;hat to-day most of us are weak crea
tes. If, like Johnson, we lived in more
eisurely times and regaled ourselves
leartily in Fleet street about the middle
>f the day, following the weal with a
:omfortable discussion, maybe we, too,
ihould be indifferent whether the sun
shone or the rain fell. Unfortunately,
ve work our nervous systems more and
>ur alimentary organs less than did our
grandparents. Inevitably we have a
lensitiveness that was unknown to most
>f them. Their fits of “the spleen” were
veil earned, probably, by loads within
he stomach. We acknowledge no such
onsoling cause for the ennui that often
n the spring assails the town dweller,
lappy he who can dispel it by a week
nd in the country or at the sea before
lis regulation summer holiday arrives.
COPPERS BECOME A PLAGUE
Nearly $15,000,000 Worth of the
Coins Are in Circulation
in England.
Many large towns in England are, like
jeeds, suffering from a plague of cop
iers. The extension of tramways with
lalf-penny fares, the use of penny-in
he-slot gas meters and automatic ma
rines, and in London the Tube railway,
vith its two-penny fares, have produced
in enormous change of small silver
:oins into pennies and halfpennies,
tates the London Chronicle.
Tradesmen consequently are finding
hem selves burdened with huge quan
ities of coppers, and they complain that
hey cannot get rid of them by an ex
hange for small silver. It might be
hought that the royal mint had some
hing to do with this excess of coppers,
tui on that point the master of the mint,
Ir. W. G. E. Macartney, M. P., is tm
ihatic.
“It is not a question of minting at all,”
te said, “it is merely a question of bank
ng. If the tradesmen of Leeds, or any I
ther town, find they have a superfluity j
a uuypeio, tucy uavc umj cu ten men ,
anker that if he cannot give them sil
er in exchange they will transfer their
.ccounts. Take the case of Leeds. Ob
riously the money has not left the town,
nd it is the tradesmen’s fault if they
annot get silver for copper."
The mint, it may be added, always
trikes more than the ordinary quanti
ies of any particular coin for which
here is an abnormal request. But there
las been no excessive demand recently
or coppers. The value of the bronze is
ues in 1902—the latest year for which
he statistics are available—was some
what larger than in 1901, but there was
.Iso a considerable increase in the value J
if the silver issues. In 1901 the number i
f bronze pieces struck at the royal mint.1
n London was 41,349,387, valued at.
£120,280, while in 1902 the number had
isen to 45,774,848 pieces of the value of
£148,499. The silver coins struck in
901*totaled 18,843,425, valued at £914.
01, while in 1902 the figures were 26,
170,996, amounting in value to £937,202.
In his report for 1902 Mr. Macartney
;ives the following estimate of the prob
ble value of the bronze coin now em
ulating in the United Kingdom: Pence,
£1.968.048; halfpence, £713,450; farth
ngs, £150.190. This estimate is based
>n the total issue from 1860 to 1902 in
ilusive, allowing 10 per cent as theesti
nated issued to'the colonies and for
oins lost or destroyed.
