LOCATIONS FOR PATCHES. 33 



It is worth the agriculturist's while to pay some 

 attention to this subject. Every year the cranberry is 

 in greater demand, higher prices are being realized. 

 It is becoming a staple article in the great markets of 

 the country. Then, why do you, whom nature has 

 favored with all you need, but planting your yard, 

 neglect to make an effort to share the profits arising 

 from the cultivation and sale of this article ? 



[Note. — In planting vines, dead levels by the side 

 of the ponds should be guarded against. The yard 

 should conform to the land behind it, sloping from the 

 hill to the edge of the pond. The reason for this is, 

 that if it is not done, water from the hills will cause 

 the land to be springy and spongy, and that it will 

 make stagnant water, which generates a green, slimy 

 moss, which is an enemy to the cranberry vine.]
