great disadvantage in some instances
But when you come to think of 1t, there
are a few things which favor the de-
ing. For instance, there is the closing
out from the senses of everything but
the sound which one hears, the voice
Of the witness or the speaker. Under
high pressure the stenographer does not
see things around him. II he does he is
not conscious of it. Has powers for the
time are concentrated in the faculty Of
hearing and so he assimilates. digests,
and retains what he hears. Images are
not allowed TO crowd into the mind and
to detract from the matter in hand. So
you can understand how II is that the
stenographer can loaf along twenty
words behind. Telegraph operators, in
receiving messages, acquire the same
faculty. 1 have been inclined TO ex-

The cranberry, like the whort1eberry
grows wild on swampy ground. but it is
the cultivated berry that is largest and
possesses the, most deliciously tart
favor. The berry is grown principally
in Wisconsin. New Jersey, Connecticut
and Massachusetts. and It is singular
fact that a one-legged Connecticut
Yankee named John Webb was first to
cultivate the cranberry. Previous to
1857 the vines had grown wild in Ocean
county. New Jersey. and no attempt at
cultivation or preservation Of the vines
had been made by the growers.

HOW CRANBERRIES ARE CULTIVATED

everything looks promising for its
growth.
Nothing seems to nave troubled the
vine in its wild state, but the cultivated
vine has three powerful enemies During
the first two years OF its growth a sharp
edged. stir Ieaved grass. called the three
square grass. grows out of the sand
with the growth Of the vine, and a per-
sistent and hardy bulrush also makes
its appearance. each tending to choke
the vine out of existence. The third de-
stroyer OF the cranberry vine is de-
worm. The sharp edged grass and bull
rush have to be removed by gouges and
grub hoes, and this process must be
kept up every week during two seasons.
so fully does the soil seem to be I'M
pregnated with their germs and so rap
IDLY do they grow.
In New Jersey alone there are some
1000 acres of swamp land devoted TO
the cultivation Of the cranberry. and
probably the same amount in the other
cranberry growing States. and even this
is insufficient to supply the increasing
demand for the berry. England and
other foreign countries were not slow
in approaching the delicious tartness OF
the cranberry and is peculiar adapta-
bihty to the turkey. which is another
article of diet indigenous to the United
States. No less than one-third Of the
entire cranberry crop is shipped 20 .or-
eign countries. and. like our ever de-
licious apple, the foreigner seems to
get the pick Notwithstanding this fact.
although prices viii rule high, there can
be no doubt that we will not be deprived
of our delicious cranberry Jelly at our
turkey dinners. which will soon be In
season.
