Mr.. Cleveland will return to
Washington some time next week,
but for some unaccountable reason
those who know prefer to sur
round his coming with mystery
and decline to say what day he
will be here, although it is not
clear to ordinary perception what
difference it can possibly make to
anybody what day he arrives, as
it has already been given out that
he will sec no callers until after
Congress meets. But perhaps it
is Mrs. Cleveland that makes ting
day of his arrival uncertain. He
would very naturally desire to be
at Gray Gables when certain ex-
pected event takes place. If that
is the case why not say SO. It is
simply nonsense to surround the
m ovements of the President or
any other official in this country
with Russian mystery. Votes are
the only weapon they have to fear
in America.

A CRANBERRY MARSH.
One of the Unique Worlds Fair At
fractions.

A cranberry marsh is one Of the
sights at the Worlds Fair. 1t is
under the auspices of the Wiscon-
sin State Cranberry Growers asso-
citation, and, although very small
and unpretentious, is an exhibit
which can scarcely fail to attract
attention.
The marsh, bog, garden, or
farm, as it is variously called, is on
the south side of the Midway
plaisance, and almost due west OF
Barney castle. Its dimensions
are about s. feet wide by IS feet
long. The reservoir is at the
west end of the miniature marsh.
1t furnishes all the water required
to prepare the land, and is so con-
structed as to be readily regulated.
It is simple in construction, and
its operations very easy to under
stand.
The embankment surrounding
the marsh is quite solidly built,
from twelve to eighteen inches
above the level of the ground. 1t
is an earthen dixie, with strong
clover and grass sod packed in on
each side. The bank between the
reservoir and the marsh proper is
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1893-08-03

as strong as the outer emDankment
and is similarly built. The reser-
voir is considerably higher than
the marsh; and the little irrigating
canals Or bitches have a depth and
fall sufficient to carry the water
easily along, and also to permit OF
flooding the entire marsh if that
should at any time become neces-
sary.
Every one of the four little fields
beds, gardens, OF patches Of the
cranberry farm is covered with the
little vine. The cranberry in its
native state grows in swampy
meadows and messy boys. 1t is
necessary, in order to attain SUI c.
cess in its cultivation, to have soil
of muck or peat that can be strain
ed for from a foot to a foot and
one-half below the surface. AS
already intimated, there should be
a water supply which can readily
be manipulated. The third thing
required is plenty of sand. If the
prospective grower wants the best
results, the surface of the meadows
must be taken away, Or pared, as
the phrase goes; the sods and
stumps must be removed; then the
plot is covered from two to six
inches deep with sand. The veteran
cranberry growers lay much stress
on the sand, as they contend it is
an all important medium for the
newly set plants to root and it
keeps down such weeds as would
otherwise spring up and choke the
little vines. The cranberry vines
should be set out from one foot to
two feet apart. They can be set
out from March to May, and from
September until the frost comes.
Growers seem agreed that propa-
cation from seed is not to be de-
pended upon, as the seed does not
terminate excepting in certain
localities, while the seedlings are
easily injured, and there is much
loss of time incident to their
growth, as even the second and
third years they yield very little
fruit. The planting of the marsh
is generally done in two ways:
either by removing the sod with
the vines or to use cuttings, which
should be from four to six inches
long. Sometimes vines are cut in
to pieces two or three inches long
and sown and then narrowed into
the ground.
The cranberry-grower has the
task before him of keeping out
the grass and weeds from his
marsh. This requires care and
constant attention. There are, of
course, other cranberry pests.
These have to be treated as all
other pests; that is, exterminated,
or they will ruin the crop and ulti-
mately the marsh. One Of the
most destructive of these cram
berry scourges is an insect which
is very injurious. 1t is found that
one of the most effective means of
DISCRIMINATING this insect is by
flooding the marsh. This can be
done always and whenever desired
when the irrigating system is un-
der perfect control; and it can be
done without injury to the crop.
Flooding the marsh is not neces-
sary until the second or third
year, unless insects are destroying
the vines Or appear in them.
A piece of ground twenty feet
square will yield three Or four
bushels of cranberries annually.
There are several leading varieties
of the berry; namely, the bell
shaped berry, the cherry berry,
and another which is oblong Or
egg-shaped.

A sensation followed the publ
cation this week, in a local paper
in Washington, which although
claiming to be independent is
generally known as an admins
tration sheet, of a New York
special charging Secretary Lamont
with betraying the anti-snappers
and counting Tammany for the
purpose Of protecting the Whit
ney street railway interests, of
which he was in charge before he
entered the cabinet, and of further
ing his own lately developed am
bition to become governor of New
York. 1t was understood here to
be a very broad hint to Mr.. Cleve-
land that he must choose between
Tammany and the anti-snappers.

If Mr.. Cleveland had ever been
a member of the Senate he would
have avoided at least one of the
more or less humiliating defeats
that he will receive at the hands
of Congress, for then he would
have known that all Of the older
Senators, regardless of politics,
stand together in favor of one Of
the oldest rules of the Senate
the free and unlimited debate of all
measures-and he would not have
made the mistake of asking Sena-
tors of his party to vote for the
adoption of cloture rule in the
Senate, request never made by
any other President, and which
has served to widen the breach al
ready existing between Mr.. Cleve-
land and a number of the demo-
cratic Senators. No President
ever more earnestly desired the
adoption of some particular bit of
legislation than Gen. Harrison did
when the. Federal Election bill,
having been passed by the House,
was before the Senate; but, having
served a term as Senator, he did
not make the mistake of askin g
republican Senators to vote for the
adoption of cloture rule, pre-
ferring to see the bill talked to
death, as it actually was, rather
than to propose a violation of one
of the most sacred traditions of
the Senate. It will not be long
before Mr.. Cleveland regrets. if he
has not already done so, that he
made such a proposition, because
it has not even one chance out of
a possible one hundred of being
adopted.
