ITS OWN COOK
The Boston Club Will Have One Dur
ing the Training Season.

Boston, Jan. 17.-Manager Selee is not
overpleased with Bostons chances in
the league race next season. He is out
for strengthening the team, but has
found Messrs. Soden and Conant in no
hurry about going after star players.
While the manager would get a move
on at once, the triumvirs, with the ex-
ception of Director Billings, are for
taking plenty of time.
IF the circuit is reduced to eight
clubs, with the pick of the players, the
present Boston team would land about
seventh in the race said Manager Sc
lee to your correspondent to-day

and base running, and is not making
any improvement in fielding or DISPOSE
ton to hustle. Therefore we must
make a few changes. with the hope of
better work, if the championship is
the object of our efforts"
Mr.. Selee talked like a man in earn
est, who was disturbed over his future
prospects, after a long siege of sue
cesses at the South End grounds.
The Boston team will take a trip
south late in March to shape up for the
championship season. In the smaller
towns of the far south the steaks are
usually tough and the butter strong.
AS the players grow old they grow par
ticular, and what might do for Man
ager Selee or a travelling prince would
never satisfy the star ball player So
that the southern tour has grown to be
a difficult problem for the modest man
ager.
Selee's latest idea is to hire several
good rooms at Charlottesville, Va,
where the air is light and the water
clear, and take along his own chef. He
will have juicy steaks shipped from
Chicago, fruit and vegetables from
Norfolk, and with good cigars and a
saddle horse for each man, hopes to
get the consent of the players to jour-
ney to the Sunny South during the I'M

ence of sulphurOus or even sui
phuric acid. only traces of which
are formed by the sulphurous acid
employed.
1t is not probable that the evap-
Grated potatoes could be used for
the manufacture of starch, for al
though the starch granules have
not been reduced to the form of
a paste by the process of evap-
Grafton, nevertheless the starch
has been more or less changed in
its nature by exposure to high
temperature, so that it partakes
more or less of the character of
amylodextrin.
For nutritive purposes, however,
the starch in the desiccated article
is fully as valuable as in the orig
inal material, if not more so. Since
the desiccated particles contain all
of the nutritious matter originally
present in the potato, together
with the cellulose, both digestible
and indigestible, it is evident that
the nutritive value of the ma
terial is scarcely inferior in any
way to that of the potato in the
original State.
Thus, is the process of desicca-
ton, the potato is reduced to a
form in which it can be easily pre-
served both in extreme heat and
in extreme cold, while its nutritive
properties are not impaired to any
appreciate extent. The desiccat-
ed potato, therefore, forms an ex-
cellent article for transportation to
artic or tropic regions, or for the
nourishment of our soldiers and
sailors when distant from supplies
of fresh vegetables.
The magnitude of the industry
of the desiccation of potatoes in
the United States is not very great,
but it is a business which promises
we'll for the future, in the prepa-
ration of certain forms of potato
products suitable for special pur-
poses.-United States Department

Mulch Strawberries Now.

The strawberry plants that have
lived through the Summer, which
was not an exceptionally hard one,
have had a good Fall and are well
prepared for the Winter. The
effects of weeds and grass in the
patch will never show more plainly
than at this time of year. Patches
that have had fair care and cult
walton are in good condition and
no pains should be spared to put
them in good shape for the Win
ter. The dry weather that comes
in January and March is usually
very destructive to weak vines. A
long, dry freeze will frequently
destroy all prospects of a crop the
following season. The patch
should be mulched with hay or
straw this Fall while the soil is full
of moisture. The mulch over the
plants should be light, so that they
have light and air. If the mulch
is too heavy the plants will smoth-
er and die. When growth starts
in the Spring the mulch must be
removed from the rows, but may
be left in spaces until the fruiting
season has passed. In patches that
have been mulched cultivation
should begin in early Spring. The
value of Winter mulch can hard
ly be overestimated. At the ex-
pertinent station at Saltwater,
Okla, it has almost regularly
amounted to the difference between
fair crop and total failure. No
vember and December is the best
time to apply the mulch.

FOR THE FARMER.
ptsslcaTIoN or POTATOES A NEW INDUSTRY.

In order that potatoes may be
kept for a long time and used in
localities where great varieties of
temperature exist, process of
desiccation or evaporation has
been applied to them with great
success.
Practically, in the desiccation
of potatoes, the same principles are
observed as in the desiccation of
fruits. In the potato, however,
the material to be dealt with is
quite different from that found in
fruit. In apples and other fruits,
which are usually subjected to the
drying process, very little starch
found, the prevalent carbohydrate
being a sugar of some description.
In the potato, on the contrary, the
principal part OF the solid material
is starch. 1t is, therefore, highly
necessary in the process of evap-
Grafton to conduct the operation
in such a manner as TO avoid the
breaking or swelling of the starch
granules, under the influence of
moisture and heat. For this rea-
son the process of evaporation
should be begun at a very low
temperature. AS the water which
the potato contains is driven off,
the temperature can be gradually
raised, so that toward the end of
the operation it may attain even
the boiling point of water without
any great danger.
By proceeding in this manner,
the process of evaporation is COM
pleted without causing the starch
grains to swell or become unusual
ly soft.
Before evaporation begins, the
potatoes are submitted to the
fumes Of burning sulphur to pro-
tect them from discoloration. The
heat of the evaporation finally ex-
pels all of the sulphur fumes, SO
that no objection can be raised to
the consumption of this evapor-
ated article by reason of the pres.

To Save Ice.

A novel way of securing ice in
Winter is practiced by a New Jer-
sey farmer. He has several YES
sells made of sheet iron, I foot
cube. He fills the vessels with
water and permits it to freeze.
On moderately cold days he
freezes few inches of water at a
time, adding more until the vessel
is full of ice: The vessels are set
in hot water for a moment or more
and the cube of ice falls out when
the vessel is turned upside down.
The ice is packed in small ice
house, the blocks close together,
and covered with sawdust.
