GOOD RECIPE FOR CRANBERRY
SAUCE.
An Old Grower Tells How to Cool
the Berries-How They are Cult.
waited.

Cranberry is a favorite sauce at al
most any time when the berry is to be
had, more especially during the
Thanksgiving and holiday season,
when custom requires a greater diver
sity in the family menu. Not every
house wife and perhaps few profess
sional cooks understand how to send
them to the table at their best. One
would naturally suppose an intelligent
man who has grown the berries for
quarter of century would know how
to treat them, and his plan is the
inspiration of this pointer to cooks
and others interested.
Back many miles from Portland, Me-
on the Grand Trunk railway is the
town of South Paris. A quarter of
mile out from the village is cram
berry bog owned, and for twenty-five
years cultivated by one S. G. Burnell.
The bog comprises about two acres
and this year will return him some
300 bushels Of the hanisomest berries
he has ever raised. To a visitor the
other day he had this to say about
COOKING tuem:---
I! IF you want good cranberry sauce,
| let me give you some good advice and
Il good recipe at the same time. You
never want to stew the berries too
long. That is mistake so many peo-
pie make and then wonder why they
don't have good luck. You take a
quart of cranberries. pint of cold
water and two coffee cups OF sugar.
Put your cranberries in the water and
pour the sugar over them. Let them
boil just ten minutes from the time
they begin to boil, no longer. Just
ten minutes. Don't stir them at all,
but shake the dish so that the berries
won't catch on. You try that recipe
once, and you won't go back to the
old way again. If you don't say that
is the best way Of cooking cranber-
ries." finished MIR. Burnell emphati-
cally, then there must be something
wrong with your make up, that's all
can say"
People Of an inquiry turn {! mind
will be interested--many of them in,-
pressed-to know how tho popular
berry is grown at its best The idea
prevails pretty generally that the ber-
ry invariably grows wild something
after the manner OF the wintergreen
and others Of it's elk. But to produce
big handsome specimens ground for
the bog must be as thoroughly pre-
pared as for. other crops, especially
| if permanency be desired. The roots
are planted. Thereafter the plants
| need lots of cultivation and care.
Water is a necessity to success. Mr..
| Burnell has reservoirs within nifty
rods OF his bog and from these he
floods the bog at night, letting the wa
ter out in the morning from small
gates. Formerly the picking was by
hand, but for the past ten years Mr..
| Burnell has used rakes. A rapid pick
err could not gather more than three
bushels in a day, but under the rake
| system twenty bushels are gathered
readily. To make the rake available
the bog is flooded SO that the vines
are entirely submerged leaving the
berries in sight. Then the rake comes
! into pay and latel tho berries float
ashore, where they are dried and
Grated. The berries remain firm long
er in crates than in any other manner

ONE MAKES BIG DAM.
Storm Is Believed to Have Been the
Worst of Many Years in the
Western Country.

SILVERTON, Colo, Jan. 23.-Five
Italian miners employed at the Sunny
side mine lost their lives in an immense
snowslide yesterday afternoon. The tele-
phone line is down and communication
of all kinds destroyed. The mine ma
chine shops and several tramway cars
are said to be swept away.
Train Service All Off.
No trains from Durango and Denver
have arrived here since last Wednesday
due to immense slides of snow
which have blocked the tracks. All the
short lines running to outlying camps
are blocked in. There are eleven slides
between Silverton and Elk Park. The
slides average from II to 80 feet deep
and from 20 to $50 feet wide.
An immense slide went into the Ami
mas river, forming a dam of snow and
ice which caused the stream to back up
and overflow the Rio Grande tracks to
depth of 1 feet. 1t will be two weeks
before traffic can be resumed between
Silverton and Durango.
The Iowa mill in Arastra gulch has
been crushed in by heavy snowslides
which came down Little Giant mountain.
The storm which has spent its force
has been one of the worst ever known in
this section.
