There are any number of 
housekeepers who like raspber- 
ries for canning, but on account 
of the wild way they have of 
growing together at the time of 
ripening makes a lot of trouble 
picking them, as it is unavoid- 
able to come in contact with 
their thorns,- and therefore most 
women after one trial discard 
them. 
Here is a way to avoid this 
annoyance: In the spring when 
the old canes are broken out, 
select a number of young shoots, 
say four or five take a binder 
twine and tie them together 
three times (nearly solid, not 
loosely) once near the ground, 
once in the middle and once 
about 4 to 6 inches from the top. 
The bush being tied in this way, 
the growth will hinder the sun 
from forming any buds on the 
inside and you will find your 
berries all around on the out- 
side. Not alone will the picking 
be easier for you can walk all 
around and do not have to trust 
your hands inside, but the work 
of cultivation will also be light- 
ened as you can hoe or cultivate 
clear under each bush. 
(Editor’s note: While this 
method may be satisfactory for 
the amateur the market grower 
could scarcely afford to lose all 
the fruiting wood except that on 
the outside of the outside canes.) 
The pithy, pointed and timely 
little notes on llowers and home 
decorations tucked away in odd 
corners of this and past issues 
are written by Prof. Le Roy 
Cady of the Minnesota Agri- 
cultural College.
