SARATOGA. n. Y. Aug. 21.-Gambling
mad
That is the actual condition in Sara
toga. 1t has reached Il stage of wild
delirlum. The town is open wide for all
comers who have the "cush. as the
gamblers say. There is no limit Richard

Saratoga has established Itself the
Monte Carlo OF the United tSates- MOI
in many years has the gambling ele-
ment enjoyed such a furious frolic un-
disturbed. Saratoga wants gambling and
certainly has what it desires.

poker chips can be heard in twenty-five
fouses in various parts of this ancient
resort from sundown 10 the break OF

Fortunes Lost.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
won or lost every twenty-four hours. It
is one great convention OF the devotees

Money Madness.
It is the sheerest money madness.
Those who should know. say the

For a young man OF Inherited fortune
to drop $4,000 or S20, 600 in one nights

professional place, is not enough 10

HARVESTING cRANBERRIEs.
Picking and Storing the Best Keep
er Among Eruits.


The effect Of time of harvesting cram
berries on yield was investigated at
the Wisconsin station. Harvesting in
Wisconsin usually begins the fore part
Of September, no matter what the con-
dition of the crop. In the test. berries
were picked Sept. S and "a and Oct. s.
1.-THE growth during the thirty days
showed an increase in size of 10 per
cent, 10 to IL per cent being realized
during tho first sixteen days and the
rest Of the growth between Sept. "a
and Oct. 8. 1t will thus be seen that
almost 10 per cent clear profit on q
crop would have been realized could
the picking have been deferred thirty
days"
Grading the berries.
After harvesting, cranberries are
graded according to size and quality.
The Wisconsin station describes
very successful apparatus for this pur-
pose. The berries are first poured In
the hopper Of the machine, from which
they pass through a fan blower, which
takes out the chaff. etc. Then they fall
troughs. The opening in the bottom of
the troughs gradually widens with the
length of the troughs. The berries fall
through the troughs at different places,
according to size, into separate COM
partments. From these compartments
each grade Of berries is carried over
series of Jumpers" which grades
fhnnl fn firm
ty. These jumpers consist of q Sc
ries of steps. That this process Of
jumping does injure the keeping quail
ty of the berries is shown by the fact
that the berries used for study at the
station always show the first signs of
decay on those spots bruised in going
over the jumpers"
STORAGE.
Relative to stors re, the Wisconsin
investigations show that berries stored
In Il wet condition do Not keep well.
A sudden change in temperature from
a cold to a warm, moist atmosphere Is
also injurious to the keeping quality,
due to a deposit of moisture on the
berries, which not only affects their
physical condition, but permits Of the
rapid growth of disease producing
fungi and bacteria on the fruit. In
the season of 1908 berries picked early
In the season kept better than those
picked later. The poorer keeping
quality of the late picked berries in
this instance is thought to be due to
the wetness Of the fall and the conse-
quent greater exposure of the late
picked samples to moisture and cold
nights rather than to the extra ripe
ness of the berries. In 1904 the late
picked berries kept decidedly the best,
and this result seems to be In accord
with that of cranberry growers gen.

ticket it must be said that the defeat of
the Citizens is deserved. Starting as a
reform party they made a record of
violated pledges from the first big test
and maintained that unfortunate record
on all the important franchises While
they showed some improvement in the
administration of city and county Of
fees this failed to compensate for their
bad faith with regard to the vital
pledges on which they first secured
public approval The inevitable result
Of this was to ALLEVIATE public confidence
and prepare the way for the defeat they
have sustained.
The result of Tuesdays election in
this state means several things. The
first is that party lines will not hold the
people when they are being robbed of
their cash and civil rights at the same
time. The second is that the Republi
can party must have new leader, one
who will have decent respect for the
rights of the led. Personal registration,
ballot that does not compel the ma
jority to vote straight ticket, and new
party rules that will not prevent the
poor man from being a candidate are a
few Of the things coming. g.-Freeport
