1.-The picking season iH usually one
of pleasure, for several reasons, to both
picker and prorietor. The weather is
generally fine-September and October
when men, wcmen and children come
for an outing in the cranberry felds.
They come with camping outfit, pre-
pared to enjoy the pleasures Of outdoor
life, the health giving ocean breezes
and rest from the city and home toll.
'In picking, lines are stretched
across plat Of ground three feet apart
and each picker works between the
lines, the vines making carpet upon
which TO work. They hang on up
rights about six inches high and are
truly beautiful to look upon. The beI-
ries are bright red color, and, in
many cases three and four deep, touch
ing each other, completely hide the
vines and ground beneath.
''The. pickers are given six-quart
measure, and are required to pick the
berries clean as they go. When the
measure is full it is emptied into a
bushel box, and when the box is full
they are given a check which is good
for 70 cents. Yard men are in at
tendance 10 oversee the pickers and
carry away the boxes. My best pickers
picked about three bushels per day.
With scoop picker can gather 20
bushels day.
''In the East the vines are often in
tested with insect pests, and If the
growers have not control Of the water
the whole crop is in danger. / under
stand the pests have been imported
here at different times in shipping in
plants, but they soon issppear, as they
cannot live in this climate.
"There is money in the cranberry
business and the many bogs OF Tilla-
nook county are waiting for men OF
means and energy to develop them"

ORLANDO RICH IN ORE.
Strike is Made 297 Feet From the
Portal of Tunnel.

TOTIdt W iuHnelS
D. NJ. Adams, mining engineer, who
has been investigating recent strikes at
the Orlando mine, in Northern Idaho.
has submitted his report to the board
of directors. Mr.. Adams expresses
himself as well pleased with the ap-
pearance of the mines. He says in
part:
"The lead was encountered 287 feet
from the portal Of the tunnel, and was
crosscut 10 feet on the dip of the lead,
which varies from IL inches to two feet
in width. The tunnel at the intersec-
tion of the lead is about four feet wide,
and in cross cutting the lead more than
a ton Of high grade shipping ore was
taken out. This ore will average go
per cent antimony, and as antimony
ore is worth So per unit, the ore is
therefore worth 1920 per ton, on the
cars at Burke, Idaho. This is the main
lead we have been driving for for more
than IL months. The strike shows
that we have well defined, strong and
persistent lead, carrying a high per-
centage Of first class shipping ore, prov
ed for more than 200 feet in depth and
for about 100 feet on the strike of the
same.

cover"

Removing Stains.

Fresh fruit stains can generally be
removed by pouring boiling water
through them. If they prove obstinate,
rub with half lemon dipped into salt,
then wash the garment. Javelle water
will surely accomplish 1t, but the ut
most care insult be exercised In using lit
or rather, eashing every trace of 1t
away after the stain has been removed
OR the result will surely be a hole.
To remove coffee stains rub thoroughly
with pure, clean glycerin; this will re-
move stains caused by coffee from
woolen and other materials. The place
afterward should be well washed with
lukewarm water and ironed on thu
wrong side until dry.

cRANBERRIEs IN OREGON.
New Venture Proving a Success in
TiIlamook County.

TiIlamook County.
"Cranberries raised in Oregon" il
the new slogan for the commercial
bodies to cry out to the world at large
now that the fields of Tillamook county
are producing large quantities of the
berries that round out the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. B. 0. Snuffer, of Tilla-
NOOK, recently exhibited box of ber-
ries in Portland which were picked
from the marsh in Tillamook county.
Mr.. Snuffer, in telling about the new
industry, said:
"The vines from which these berries
were picked have not been touched for
eight years except to pick the berries
Because the berries require SO little
care and attention, the profits are very
large. Not an acre from the patch
these berries came from has ever pro-
duced less than 925 bushels aud with
care would yield 800 bushels. The
berries sell for So a bushel. W. G..
King picked 1000 bushels an acre from
q tract he owned.
~ commenced the culture of cram
berries In the spring Of 1893, and find
that the vines are well adapted to this
climate. They grow vigorously and
where the bogs are properly prepared
they are enormously productive. While
picking my crop one year / measured
off some ground and picked them care
fully, and found that they produced at
the rate of 1000 bushels to the acre.
Allowing 81 per bushel as net profit,
do not know of an agricultural product
that will compare with it, and placing
figures at a minimum.
''It costs about 5000 to prepare the
ground and plant the vines, including
the cost Of the plants. The bog must
be so situated that it can be drained off
by means OF bitches to the depth of at
least 15 inches, and one must also have
control OF plenty Of water for irrigation
and flooding purposes. Although
have seen some marshes that were a
success without any water supply, do
not consider 1t safe, in view of the large
outlay.
ga bog once set in the proper shape
will last indefinitely. The first cost,
although quite large. cuts little figure
In the long run.
81 find that the Cranberries grown
here are of darker color than those
grown in the East; those here are much
superior in flavor, and also weigh more
to the bushel. The size of the berry is
about the same.
According to my experience, the
Mcfarland cranberry is the best vari-
ETY. for the Pacific coast. 1t is the larg-
est and most prolific, splendid keep
er, and by all odds the best seller. In
the East this sort is considered poor
keeper, but it appears to be better
adapted to this climate, and grow to
perfection here.
''I have had good success with the
Cherry and Bell variety. They yield
we'll and sell we'll, and are of good
color. Their flavor is excelled by none,
and they are Of good size, though not
as large rs the Mcfarland berry.

Englnnd'. National Color.


Why red should have been selected
!s the national color becomes intelligl-
de when we look at the cross of St.
feorge. STR Walter Scott, when he
wrote Of how "their own sea hath
yhelmed those red cross powers" was
merely anticipating the phrase of to-
lay. But Oliver Cromwell, when for
he first time he put the English soldier
IN red coat, probably did as much as
st. George to monopolize red as the ma
tional color. The aggressive color has,
however, many meanings and has lent
itself to many uses. In the days Of
the Romans when it flared on the head
If a slave 1t stood for freedom in the
lays Of the French revolution 1t stood
For freedom backed by blows, while In
the streets of the city to-day the red
,ross stands for succor. So far back as
the reign Of Henry II. there was a red
book of the exchequer, a record Of the
names Of all who held lands per bar
oniam," and at this moment persons
of consequence in the service Of the
state find their names entered in q red
booE--London Chronicle.

Ice In 1872 was the first church we'd

In the Kansas City schools and the
University of Michigan. He has travel

In France he acquired material for
''The Missourian' his first NOVEL.
w. D. Howells and Mark Twain, the
two most prominent authors in Ameri-
can literature, have both received the
degree of LII ID. from the great Uni
versity of Oxford, Mr.. Howells hav-
ing been given his degree three years
ago. Besides his degree from Oxford,
Mark Twain has degrees from Yale
and from the University of Missouri;
and Mr.. Howeus, in addition to his
Oxford degree, holds degrees from
Harvard and Yale; all of which, in
addition to the learning, the scholar
ship, the high attainments and the
distinguished literary skill Of both
these men, as acknowledged in every
part of the world, makes 1t of strik-
Ing interest that neither of them had
college education.
Miss Clara e. Laughlin, after Eav-
Ing her book Felicity" extensively re-
viewed, has this to say in the Book
News Monthly Of the duties of a re-
viewer: 1--WE all know that folks are
not made after Individual patterns, l.ut
after one of few types, Every book
Is written by folksy' person of some
kind; the book probably interested him,
or he couldn't have persevered in the
mere manual labor Of writing it; and
it will almost certainly interest some
others Of his type, and perhaps the
more advenhlrous, more inquiring, Of
some other types, too. In spite Of our
well-meant efforts to regulate public
reading, these various books find their
waiting markets. The best Office Of
the reviewer, then, is sufficient knowl-
edge of his fellows, and sufficient SYM
pathy with their different needs, to
distinguish among the books that come
pouring In, and to see that each gets
described for the benefit Of Its par
ticular audience. There's no use .nak-
ing fun Of Henry James or of George
McCutcheon-plenty Of people like each
of them, though not many may like
them both, and some don't like either.
l doubt If all the witticisms against
Mr.. James's style have kept one read
er from him or driven one away. Peo-
pie find out what they want, in spite
of the reviewers, so the reviewers
might as we'll be wise and help them
to 1t. Perhaps, too, If we got over
thinking that our public Is being might
lily tickled by our profound or snappy
reviews, we may learn to approach
books more open-mindedly, and may,
perchance, do the authors the Justice
of understanding them, which really,
l think, has not always been our first
aim"
