Recent Reports Concerning cranberries.

While most cfcrop has been disposed
OF, not inconSiderable portion
especially of eastern berries-still
remains in hands Of growers in
expectation of an advance in price
and the following information, there
fore, will be found of value and
interest to prospective sellers and
buyers:
Mather, Wis.-This season has been
q mock out: expected good prices: had
to give in after selling forty to fifty
barrels to small order trade six-fifty
$3.50 to eight dollars $500: latter
fancy Jumbo; closed four cars tive-fifty
$3.50. There is yet to be put on track
5, 400 barrels.
Berlin, Wis.-Crop very small; June
frosts cut young growth, what escaped
nearly destroyed by heavy rains in
July nearly completed ruin: crops out
side of Stanley only about twenty-four
hundred (2,400) bushels which is nearly
total loss.
Ibid:-Crop rather light; quality
fairly good: keeping good; good
demand; price six-ffty $3.50 to seven
dollars $500 per barrel.
City Point, Wis-Crop practically
in hands Of wholesalers; price for
standard fve-tifty $500 to six (6.0O)
and larger varieties six-ffty $3.50 to
seven dollars $500 per barrel, f. o b.;
no doubt now ruling price will be
maintained.
Warren, Wis.-Crop light compared
with last year; offered fve-ffty $50,
was offered five Seventy-five (5.75}
some time ago; think your last report

don't rush the consumption they are
alone responsible for prices, hand out
on call; sale extended last spring into
middle June =
Olympia, Wash.-Past season poorest
growing season ever known in this
section for at least % years: cranberry
bloomed 80 days late on the coast this
year; fruit not up to average, in
quantity and quality; will get more
than average figure for fruit equaling

high price Of years ago in this
section.

Flavor In Butter.

A practical dsirymap, writing TO thu
Rursl New Yorker, says:
Cunning may we'll stop when the bu
ter is yet 10 grains about the size OF whes
kernels. The smaller the grains OF buttel
are, the more thoroughly the butteruili
can be worked and washed out with thu
slight working thst is now considered dt
sirable.
Butter grains begin to form when ths
cream thickens and begins to break up.
Some b1tier makers insist that toe
much washing OF butter will destroy the
flavor. This seem TO be gross error.
Flavor is q characteristic OF butter II
does not lie on the outer surfaces u the
grains OF fat. 1t is inside those grsins.
l. is not caused by the buttermilk sdher
ing to the minute butter globes. II cen
not be washed out.
Scientists say that the consumer gets
the favor Of butter only when the little
globes OF fat are broken up or dissolved
by heat 10 the mouth. Washing with
cold water can neither break up nor dis
solve the globules.
Sometimes | have wished that favor
could be got out OF butter by process 80
simple as washing with cold water.
Last season my COWS hunted up some
Wild onions and ate enough Of tbi m to
favor themselves from the tips OF their
horns down to the points Of their hoofs
aud resrward to the tips OF their tale.
Naturally. their wholesale flivoring includ
ed their milk for day or two.
1 sersted that milk until | nearly wore
il out. When it was Dreamed and churn
ed the butter came ont with q decided
onion favor.
Wash it thoroughly. That will take
out the onion taste, said my better half
/ obeyed. / washed and washed and
washed, and then washed and washed and
washed that butter sgsin. After working
and sailing and forming the butter INTO
roll, l found that it WAS still onioDish but
ter, or butterisb onion.
The experience convinces me that no
amount OF mere washing can 10 the least
degree affect The favor Of the butter.

syndicate also obtained control of the
Morgan Steamship Line and the Paci'

not the Southern Pacific Company will
acquire the Mexican road remains to

will be taken out Of the Southern Paci

of these grca. systems are now under

up on juicy bivalves and choice steaks,
they were about to take their departure
without settling the bill, when mine
host Lycurgus demonstrated, and de-
manded good coin Of the realm.
Finding that the proprietor meant
business, one OF the trio proposed to
settle the bill by giving an order on
Brown, the plumber. This was prompt
" refused, when the well fed couple
proceeded to roundly abuse tho pro-
prietor, and calling his attention to
the fact that they were Americans, and
that It would take an army Of Greeks to
put them out.
At this stage OF the game the blood
Of the proprietor was at fever heat and
calling to his aid his faithful employees.
the men were given short shift, and
