the crop is. started, is in the picking,
which is largely performed by women
and children, who receive from one to one
and half cents per quart for the work,
and are able to earn from IS cents to 81
per day through the season.
As fast as the berries are gathered by
the pickers they are measured out by the
boss" and unless they are to go at once
to market are packed away in boxes for
storage. This packing is done in what
is called "chaff," the moss and leaves
picked up in the field, in boxes with slat-
ted sides to allow a free circulation of
the air. In this way the berry "sweats"
without decaying, and will keep for
long time. When the berries are to be
marketed they are screened. The screen
Is like an old-fashioned tanning mill and
serves the double purpose Of removing
the chaff and sorting the berries.
England takes thousands of barrels of
American cranberries every year, and the
West has become great market for
them on account of the scarcity Of other
small fruits. At present more cranber-
ries are sold In Chicago than in New
York or any other Eastern city. Gran
berries are not injured by freezing, and
SO it Is an easy matter TO ship them in
cold weather. They are often sent as
far as Manitoba in ordinary open box
cars.

He Didn't Mean 1t.


He lost his little brothers ball,
And said he didn't mean it,:
He broke his little sisters doll,
OF course. he didn't mean it,;
He pushed his playmate from the fence,
They found hopeless cripple there,
But everyone with common sense
That ever heard of that affair
Was sure he .sdidn't mean it. .
He broke girls poor, trusting heart
OF course, he didn't mean it,;
He played reckless, wretched part,
But then he didn't mean it,; So
He looked through prison bars, one day,
Upon his mother, bent with shame
She filed an early grave, but they,
OF course, knew he was not to blame
He said he didn't mean it.

Her fingers wander DER the strings;
A little while my heart forgets
Its griefs and cares and petty stings.
The air Is filled with rustling wings,

And earth seems made for happier

She plays upon her mandolin!
Her fingers fly along the frets,
Her fingers dance along the strings.
Courage, my soul! Though strife besets,
Stand firm, whatever fortune brings.
Heir to the ages, peer Of kings!
High over the turmoil, dust and din,
The clarion call of Honor rings
She plays upon her mandolini
Her fingers dream along the frets,
They linger lightly DER the strings;
What spell is woven in the nets
OF meshed melody she filings!
A burning tear unbidden springs;
Old hopes, loves, dreams-all dwell

That dying music's whisperings-

SAUCE FOR THE TURKEY
How cranberries Are Raised and Pre-
pared for Market.

How Cranberries Are Raised and Pre-
pared for Market.
Turkey and cranberry sauce! By force
of long association and the eternal fitness
of things, the two go naturally together.
What is one without the other, or
Thanksgiving day without both? And so
to make the 100000 turkeys required
for the national feast more palatable
100000 barrels of cranberries are raised
on the marshes of Cape Cod and New
Jersey. To be sure not all of these are
| eaten on Thanksgiving day, but a fairly
large proportion Of them are, and 1t is
the almost universal use of the tart little
berry on Thanksgiving that has led to the
! present wonderful extension of the bust
ness. The business of raising cranberries
is peculiar one in all its aspects. 1t re-
'quires a special kind of ground, consid-
cradle capital and a vast deal Of labor,
and 1t is a special trade, more or less ir-
| regular in its returns, like all of it's kind.
1t is the chief industry Of two sections Of
| this country, where nearly all the cram
berries used in America and Europe are
| raised, and which it has transformed
from waste bog lands into rich farming
communities.
The land On which cranberries will
| flourish is seldom fit for anything else.
In the state in which it is usually found
it requires about $500 per acre to make
! it fit, SO that the Transformation Of
! swamp into productive cranberry bog
makes it very valuable piece of prop
erty. The first requirement is peat bot
tom. This is dressed by spreading over
1t coating Of seashore sand, into which
the slips are stuck and left to grow at
their own sweet will. In connection with
the bog there should be an irrigating
ditch or reservoir, from which it can be
flooded at any time. 1t requires several
years to determine the worth of marsh
for producing cranberries, and the slow
ness of returns, together with the amount
Of capital required, has brought all the
| largest marshes into the control Of stock
companies.
1t requires hand labor throughout to
raise cranberries. The chief expense, once

Fascination which Wild Regions Have

1t was nearing midnight when we en-
tered Phoenix, Ariz. Price directed the
way to corral where he was known.
and where we left the animals feasting
on fresh alfalfa, while we Jared forth to
see his friends. It was precisely as
though Price had invited me around to
his club. He led the way to a saloon
and as we entered it saw at once its
typical character. At the left Of the en-
trance was a bar, gorgeous with mir
rors and cut glass, while down the deep
recesses Of the room were faro and rou-
lette tables and tables for poker. The
groups about them were formed Of
"cow punchers" and prospectors and
"Greasers" and Cinnamon, and even
Indians, all mingiing and intermingling
with freedom that suggested that in
gambling there is touch Of nature
that makes the whole world kin.
But more Immediately interesting to

bar. 1t was made up, as 1 found, Of

man, and what he told me of himself
confirmed my own impression of a
richly varied past. Far into the night
we talked, and could well believe him
when he said that the fascination of the
life which he had led on the frontier
had so far grown upon him that, while
he was glad to get back at times to his
former home in New York, he could no
longer remain contented there, hearing
as he always did after few months al
most, the call back to the wild freedom
of the plains. 1t was under the spell

Hamilton, speaking to Free Press re-
porter, was to note the resources and
progress of this district for intending
settlers. Mr.. Griffin had not been over
this ground before and it was to him
trip of great value on this account.
What we saw confirms the view have
taken that here lies one of the richest
tracts of land In the world We found
that settlers have pushed their way In
and are located not only on land all
along the railway, but 10 miles on each
side of it. The soil in all parts we saw
is of the richest, and timber and water
plentiful, except an eastern tract lying
south of Eagle Hills, where timber is
scarce. In the Battleford district. Iy-.
ing 12O miles from the railway. we
found. excellent fields of grain being
grown, but in the majority of the farth-
est districts cattle raising is the chief
industry. Settlers are pushing their
way out from Calgary and Edmonton
east as far as the Buck Lakes. 100
miles from the railway"
Game throughout this district, Mr..
Hamilton states, was very plentiful
in fact, too plentiful. I'VE were told
that the prairie chickens were so thick. !"
said Mr.. Hamilton. 'tthat disease
among them had developed and they
| were dying off in thousands. This |
am told, occurs about every seven
years, when the ravages of the disease
are much more destructive than that
wrought by the hunters after feathered
game. There is no scarcity of fresh
| meats, however, and In many of the
farming districts or ranching properties
the owner has his own game preserves.
"On this tract Of 25.OO0,OO0 acres
there Is no reason" concluded Mr..
Hamilton, according to the Winnipeg
Free Press, why 50O,OOO,OOO bushels
of wheat could not be raised and this
will be the case some day not far dis
tant.'
