BLACKBERRIES AND CABBAGE. 



Ens, Rural :— I have in cultivation a few of tbi 

 native Black Batpbtrrjf bushes, which jield a gooi 

 return, and the Yell-no Antwerp, which is doioj 

 well; but tbe Fattolf and Franconia, although 

 Ibey increase and spread rapidly, only give oc 

 ami then a straggling, worthless berry. Why 

 it? I shall sot more of the Native Mack ne 

 spring, after Mr. Doolittlb's plau. Ry the wo 

 Mr. EWTOB, I tbiuk those who do not tnke tt» 

 RuiUL&ro losing money every year. That single 

 article giving Mr. Doohttle's system of cultivat- 

 ing the Dative raspberry, is worth more to me than 

 the price of ibe Ki.ual for one year. But. I have 

 just returned from the woods with a pall t>r black- 

 berries, OLd while there, on this hot, sultry August 

 day, sweating and scrambling through the brush 

 and brambles, which are not slow in leaving 

 "tokfJDSOf remembrance," the thought occurred to 

 me, Rrhethor it would not pay better to raise my 

 own blackberries.

 I, for one, would liko a chapter from his valuable

 or the lice, or something else. Wben calves got

EXPERIENCE WITH A YOTJNJ ORCHARD. 



Messrs. Editors :— Ten years ago I set out i 

 youug apple orchard, of several varieties, for th. 

 purpose of obtaining choice fruit for family use 

 and would like to know at whut age certain kind 

 will bear. The AmDuMn is more than sevei 

 inches in diameter, with a fine ova! top, and has 

 never yet produced one blossom. How long 

 should it cumber the ground before the axe should 

 be laid at the root, laying it low, even with the 

 ground? The Autumn and Summer Stravb*. 

 proved U> be utterly Worthless, and those I hi 

 grafted to better sorts. The TtUmo £tllflou>er i

 they alaohave been grafted. Ribtlon. Pippirt^ro

The beauty and value of the Petunia, bowevei 

 is not in the beauty of the siDgle flower; to b 

 appreciated it must be seen in masses, with nbuo 

 dance of (lowers and a fioe arrangement of color; 

 To-day there is nothing more beautiful on th 



from the hedges— may be so improved by cultiva- 

 tion as to grow to double the common size, and of 

 the most delicious flavor, very far superior in this 

 respect to the New JloehelU. At the last meeting 

 of the Geiutct Valley Hurticultural Soar^, aquart 

 of common, but cultivated blackberries was shown 

 by a gentleman, and the Committee on FruU was 

 so well pleased with tbcm that they awarded him 

 a special premium aud it was well deserved.— 

 They were about half tbe size of the New Rochelle 

 exhibited at the samo time, but vastly superior in 



A sandy loam soil ia tho very best for the black- 

 berry, and itabould bo rich to produce fine fruit. 

 Tbe after culture is much the some as for the rasp-

Cabbage has two sets of enemies, very numeroui 



id very troublesome— tbe little fly or flea that at 



tacks them when they are quite small aod th. 



louse. The tormer may be driven off by the per 



severing use of ashes, and soot, but I like charcoa 



dust better than either. Perseverance, however 



is needed with either, or it will do no good. Thi 



louse described above, likemosl of its kind, whelhei 



upon animal or vegetable, generally attacks th< 



lunted, the declining— on the same ruh 



I suppose that men when they see their fellows it

 spring or fall, though wo prefer autumn planting 

 for all herbaceous plants. On your clay, under-

 plums excellent, and so would the small fruits.

earth nasty enough to stand tobacco well. Start- 

 ing with this fact, my first remedy with all new in- 

 sects is a dose of strong tobacco water. If they 

 stand that, I think they are pretty hard cases. A 

 few doses mado from strong plug tobacco which 

 can be bought at any country store, will relieve 

 your cabbage of the louse. 



The BMiato I think is caused by over-growth- 

 too rich feeding. A good many years ago I would 

 have used some other word for thialc, but I have 

 learned how easy it i s to be mistaken, and how 

 mysterious are many of tbe operations of nature. 

 There is a cause for everything, but sometimes it 

 seems past finding out. Sometimes too much ma- 

 Dure will canker the stalk and cause it to rot — 

 Sometimes it wUl cause the hood to burst-the 

 OQtaide leaves appearing to grow too slow for those 

 forming at the center of the head-bursting of the 

 head is the consequence, and the sap vessels bciDg

Ik you desire to obtain a good maoy va

 free-growing sorts make quite a large t:

 twelve to eighteen feet in height, alter bei

 is abundant, the standards are better.
