PRESERVING FRESH GRAPES.
In Cold Storage They Can Re Kept
Through the Winter.

In Cold Storage They Can BE Kept
. Through the Winter.
The method Of gathering and prvpar-
ing grapes for winter storage IN a. fol-
lows says the New York Post: The clus-
tiers are carefully picked before they
are dead ripe and then placed in traps
in the p'cking house for a few days
until the stems have wilted and the
moisture has evaporated. The baskets
are lined with paraffined Paper so that
it will lap over the top Of the basket,
all loose and punctured berries being
removed beforehand, and then, when
the paper is folded over them, the COW
er is fastened down snugly so as to
exclude as much air as possible. The
baskets are then placed in the cold,
dry storage house. In this way the
Vargennes can be kept all winter, the
Catawbas until the end Of February
and Niagaras until after the holidays.
The only difficulty experienced by
growers is from rapid deterioration
when the grapes are removed from cold

need to be consumed Immediately in
order to appreciate their qualities. The
large growers are arranging to ship
their grapes from their pack
ing houses to the cold stor-
age houses in the city by means of re-
frigerator cars, and in this way the
quality will be preserved until the
grapes reach the consumers table. But
this shuts out the small grower located
some distance from the markets. How
ever, there are other outlets for their
crops OF grapes, which are rapidly in
creasing in Importance. One of the best
is that of manufacturing "unfermented
grape juice" a beverage that is recon-
mended by physicians and which is
gaining ground in public esteem an
nually. It is said that the fresh grape
juice is next to good new milk as a
wholesome beverage and that all peo-
pie should drink it, especially the weak
and emaciated. It goes far ahead Of tea
or coffee when taken with meals.
Sometimes it is put on the market in
an adulterated form, but there are
plenty of growers who themselves
make it from the fresh grapes. In Erie
county, New York. there is vineyard
where all the grapes from 100 acres are
annually turned into unfermented
juice. The Juice is simply heated, care
fully filtered and then bottled while
hot. In this way it will keep fresh and
good for long time.

An Effective Hobo Roundup.

their fellows in debauchery, idleness

for "a hours in order that the defend

Howard, Alias Russell. the Bounty Thief.

Last week we published an item
from the Bozeman Chronicle concern
ing a man by the name of Howard,
under arrest there on b charge OF
defrauding Gallatin county under the
bounty law ON wolves and coyotes.
Howard, it appears, had purchased
pelts in Chicago through an accom-
plice n shipped them to Big Tim
her and Bozeman, securing bounty
certificates i'm each county. At BOze-
man he had purchased some goods
and ordered them shipped to his
name al Deerfield, this county. Sheriff
Waite, who has exchanged kilograms
with the Gallatin county sheriff, says
the man is also known as w. II. Rus
sell, but that he il not known at
Deerfield, nor can he learn anything
about him. Russell is the man about
whom the Great Falls papers had
much to say about a month ago. He
had visited Chicago and there ASSOC
ciated with some spectators, repre-
senting himself to be a prominent
cattleman of northern Montana, and
invited his new-found friends to visit
him. Two Of them came to Great
Falls and after much annoyance
found that Russell was nothing more
than a cowboy and that they had
been taken in. Bozeman officials us
pected that Howard or Russell had
worked his bounty scheme in Fergus
county, but Clerk Kelly's books do
not show that any one of those
names has procured bounty %certif-
Gates here as far back as April last.

DIVIDING THE COUNTY.
Interview with Repre- sentative Losekamp Re
vesIs the Plans for Segregation.

Billings Gazette: The Gazette last
Tuesday, copied an item from the
Fergus County Argus, which spoke
of a plan on foot in Billings to ex-
tend the northern boundary of Vel
lowstOne county by taking in a por-
ton of Fergus. The movement,
Hon. j.. d. Losekamp informs this
newspaper, is at the solicitation oi
the residents of the southern portion
of Fergus county, who are nearer to
Billings than Lewistown and who
trade in this city. These people. to-
gether with some fifty or sixty
ranchers who live along the Mussel-
shell river, the present boundary line,
and who must pay taxes in both
counties by reason of the stream di-
viding their ranches, Mr.. Losekamp
says, are anxious to be attached to
Yellowstone and are now circulating
petitions for segregation, which will
be presented to either Representative
Losekamp or Senator Gruwell.
Mr.. Losekamp's proposition is to
extend the Yellowstone county line
nOrthward to section 10 in Fergus
county, which would take in some
twenty or twenty-five townships,
having an assessed valuation, at
a rough guess, of from $4,000 to
$125, 900. He wishes it understood.
however, that the movement is not
for the purpose of interfering with
the sovereignty of Fergus county,
but at the distinct solicitation of the
people living in the territory to be
segregated. At present they have
very poor school facilities and prac-
tically no roads. are nearer to Bill
ings than Lewistown and naturally
feel that their condition would be
bettered if they were under the gov
eminent of Yellowstone county.

in New Durham, n. j., and it is safe 10
say that for mary years Memorial day

Frank Hall by the strewing of flowers
on the mound beneath which sleeps tie
headless body OF Nero, the dog suicide.
All New Durham knows that No-o

suicide as you ever heard of. l felt just

All other evidence pointed the same
