Profits of CranberrieS.

Cranberry vines do not, as may be com
monty supposed, root into the soil. They
appear to Irvine their roots around grass
es and moss, propagating from then
joints and obtaining their nouriShmeni
apparently from the water around
their roots. They are strong and
hardy, and, if the water is regulated
properly, will multiply with astonishing
rapidity.
Respecting their value as a product, We
have some Munchausen reports for the
year 1878. One gentleman picked from
his "best acre" 1873 bushels. He re
ceived $3.50 per bushel, and as the pick
ing cost him 500 per bushel, his income
from that one acre was $2,461.40. 9th.
ers had a yield of from 700 to 1000 bush
els per acre, but these are examples OF
the greatest yields. Some parties average
1l3 bushels to the acre, others as low as
twenty bushels, The latter being marsh
just commencing to bear. By the sudden
appreciation of the marsh lands produc-
ing this article of consumption, many
have almost instantly found themselves
wealthy. Men who, a year or two since
would have taken a thousand or two 1oI
all they possessed, are now the "heavlesl
men known to the bankers OF their towns.

The Preservation of FurS.

The Western RuruE is frequently an
piled TO for information as to how skins
can be preserved. ANY one who has tried
to dress skins knows that, to an amateur.
il is a nasty, disagreeable, troublesomejob,
and one that, to be well done, requires
much practice.
The method in use in Australia, which
we have tried, is one which is applicable
for small skins and those which are not
OF great value. These latter it will pay to
take more trouble with. This method
causes as little trouble as any we know.
Open the skin from the throat to the
vent; then straight across from one fore
foot to the other and the same between the
hind feet; atterWard use the knife as little
Is possible, but try and separate the skin
from the body by the use Of the thumb.
Stretch the skin on a board, fur side in.
If it be a warm day, put it facing the sun
and it will be dry in 1t few hours. If not,
stand it in front of a fire until perfectly
dry which will be in two or three hours.
You can then take it Of and it is fit tor
use. II the skin be greasy, rub it with a
piece Of chalk while on the board before
the fire. The fire will melt the grease and
the chalk absorb it.
Inc Shli Win DC HdIQ, but viii yet pIId-
bic after being i'll use a short time. The
blacks make them pliable at once by fold
ing them and rubbing the folded edge
with a stick; they then fold another way
and rub, and so on, Furs prepared in
this way are as strong, and viii keep as
long as those prepared in any other man
ner.
The method in use among the North
American and Canadian trappers is essen
TALLY different from the above, as it con
sists in drying the skins as slowly a. pos
sible. Nr. Newhouse, q trapper Of great
renOwn, gives the following as the correct
manner of procedure: Scrape off all su
pertluous flesh and fat, but be careful not
to go deep enough to injure the fiber OF
the skin. Never dry a skin by the fire or
in the sun; but in d cool, shady place,
sheltered from rain. If you use a barn
door for & stretcher, nail the skin on the
inside of the door. Never use "~prepara-
tons of any kind in curing skins, nor
ever wash them in water, but simply
stretch and dry them as taken from the
animal. In drying skins it is important
that they should be stretched tight as a
drumhead. This is a preventative till the
skins can be handed over 10 the turrier.-

THAT BOY.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

Bf GfOkGE COOPER.
Is THE house turned topsy turvyf
Does it ring from street to roof
Will the racket still continue,
Spite OF all your mild reproofi
Are you often in a fluttcrf
Are you sometimes thrilled with j0yt
Then | have my grave suspicious,
That you have at hOme-that boy.
Are the walls and the table hammered
Are your nerves and ink uPsetS
Have Two eyes, so bright and rOguiSh.
Made you every care forget?
Have your garden bed a prOwler.
Who delights but to destroy?
These are WeilknOwn indications
That nave al hOme-that Boy.
Have you seen him playing circus
With his head upon the mat,
And his heels in mid air twinkling-
For his audience, the cat?
DO YOU even stop 10 listen,
When his merry pranks annoy
Listen TO a voice that whispers,
You were ono just like-that Boy.
Have you heard of broken windows,
And with nobody to blame7
Have you seH a troWsercd urchin
Quite unconscious OF the salnei
90 you love a teasing mixture
OF perpIexi,y and joy.
You may have a dozen daughters,
But / know you've got-that Boy.

A L1TTLE, crumpled package arrived at
the Mayors office this morning, which
has a touch of history. 1t was sent by
MIR. john A. Hughes, a merchant at
Springfield, Ill, who has been active in
collecting money for the distressed yeo-
pie. 1t was tightly rolled up in two or
three sheets of not very white letter paper,
and contained five dollars and five cents,
nearly all IN one, two, and three-cent
pieces and nickels; also w faded pieces
OF paper currency, of the old five and ten
cent issue. Evidently this was some
child's treasure, the accommodations
OF a little box for months or years. On
the inner wrapping was written, Little
Lllly's money, to go to a poor child :" on
the outer paper, written in a different
hand, Prom Little Lilly, for the Mem
phis sutferers-o dying bequest." No other
explanation was given.-Nemphis Ledqer.

Two years ago Mr.. Thomas Woodcock,
of Canton, Ill, lost a certificate of de-

unable to find it until last week, when the
lining of his wife's muff revealed its hid
