About Raspberries 



A, J. Logan, Beamsville, Ont. 



Raspberries should be picked when dry, as 

 they will keep much longer. In marketing, it 

 is not advisable to sell the fruit on commission 

 It is better to sell f.o.b., or to a canning factory. 

 For three years I sold on commission and as a 

 nUe lost money. Then for four years I sold to a 

 factory and came out successfully. During the 

 past four years I sold f.o.b. for satisfactory 

 prices. I see no difference between selling to the 



canning factory or selling for cash to local buyers. 

 Young raspberry canes should be pinched back 

 about the time of harvesting. By this means 

 the crop will be increased. The practice is not 

 advisable, however, in patches where the snowy 

 tree cricket is prevalent. In this case, it is not 

 well to pinch back the canes until late fall or . 

 spring, because as a rule the insect injures the 

 cane higher up than when it is pinched back in 

 summer. By leaving the work until late fall or 

 the following spring, much of the injury done by 

 this insect can be removed.

THE GROWTH OF CULTURE 



^The day is passed when cul'ure and true social enjoyment were 

 confined to the few — to the privileged classes. We live in a day of 

 enlightenment and democracy. Equal educational advantages, equal 

 opportunities for culture and enjoyment of those things in life that 

 are best worth while. flThe luxuries of yesterday are the necessities 

 of to-day, and in the musical world nothing is more noticeable than 

 the demand of all classes for the highest possible grade of piano. 

 The piano manufacturer who meets this demand is never slack for 

 want of orders.
