When Nature, in her distribution of fruity- flavors, allotted to the North land the strawberry, the raspberry, the blackberry, the currant and the gooseberry, and made many varieties hardy even beyond the Arctic circle, she made it impossible that they who have their dwellings here should look with envy on the showier but less ap petizing fruits of the South.

The conception that the raising of small fruits involves Undue or exceptional labor, as com pared with other lines of labor on farm er garden, is erroneous: Properly and Intelligently pursued, the labor is as light as It is attractive, and the re turns likely to be large, both in money and enjoyment. A libera! space should be given to these fruits on every farm. It will well repay the endeavors of the farmer or his wife, or of the boys and girls. Extension Bulletin No. 16. by LeRov Cady and K. S.

If. machinery tends, on these sma farms, ... ., will be in the field first part ot Mav. to materially increase the cost of horse labor as an extra horse is often kept, not because of the actual need of the farm, but because the machin ery is of four-horse size. This materi ally decreases the hours of work per horse. On farms of eighty acres or less, there is seldom work for more than three horses. Machinery can be purchased, suitable for a three-horse team, with greater economy In the long run than the keeping of the extra horse that the large implement may be used. Generally, in such opera tions as require an implement that COB only be operated by four horses, it Is cheaper to hire the work done th.m to attempt to do it with the farm force. It is on farms of this size that economies are especially necessary, as horse labor will necessarily be high upon them at best. OLIVE AND VICINITY. A. L.
