RASPBERRIES. 
This valuable fruit should receive more attention, both for fami)yfu5e and for 
the market. Under proper treatment it is very remunerative, and with less trouble 
than with other fruits. As it does not bear long transportation, every market 
should have its local supply. For garden culture, plant in rows 4 feet apart, and 
4 feet in the row, with 4 canes to each hill. Pinch off the tips of the canes when 
4 feet high, and again pinch the laterals when a foot long. Treat all suckers 
except 4 for renewal as weeds to be cut out with the hoe as soon as they appear.
