RASPBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES.
It should bo kept in mind that a stem of raspberry, or blackberry that has once borne a crop of fruit has served its purpose and will die, These i stems will be replaced by a new growth which will perfect itself this autumn, and be ready to produce a crop of fruit next summer. Therefore it is better to get tho old stems out of the way, as soon as the fruit is off, More new shoots or suckers than are needed will grow. Two, or at most three, are all that arc required to a stool: all beyond these should bo cut away as if they were weeds. Thoso which are allowed to grow, should be tied up to stakes or a trellis, as soon as large enough. Their upward growth should, bo stopped, by pinching the growing point, at fivo feet for blackberries and three for raspberries,—American Agriculturalist,
