DEN MARK.

A Danish expedition has gone to
Greenland to put the 10000 Eskimos,
who live on, thea southwest coast, in
the way of earning better living. 1t
is hoped to open new branches of in.
dustry for them.
King Frederick has honored G. H.
Hansen. who recently resigned the
Danish consulship in Chicago, with
the order of Dannebrogsmand. This
honor is regarded as unusual and an
showing that his good work for his
countrymen in many quarters of the
globe IL appreciated. His successor,
George Bech, is looked upon as an
able young man.
Court Marshal Count Moltke sud-
denly retired from his prominent posi-
ton at the court. Politiken claims
that his retirement is not purely
voluntary. The count is strongly in
sympathy with the work of the inner
missions, and he recently attended a
mission meeting where an address
was made by Miss Esch, lady who
recently wrote something objection
able about the social life at the court
and in the higher circles of the army.
She was challenged to prove her as
sertions, and she promptly said she
would do so. Then the whole matter
was dropped, leaving the court and
the army in dubious light. The
enemies Of Count Moltke explained
this at the court, and off went his
political head.
Athens, Oct. 31.-Many congratula-
lions have been received by George 4.
in recognition Of the fact that today
he rounded out forty-fve years as
king OF Greece. Born Danish prince,
son of the late King Christian TX, his
majesty spent his early years in the
Danish navy. The national assembly
proclaimed him king of the Hellenes
on March 80, 1868. He was then II
years old, having been born on Dec.
"a, 1S45. On Oct. 80 of the same year,
he arrived in Athens, and on the fol-
lowing day he took the oath and
mounted the throne. Next to Kaiser
Franz Joseph of Austria he is the
Oldest of the sovereigns of Europe.
He enjoys excellent health, a fact
which he ascribes to the regularity of
his habits. He invariably rises early
i'll the morning and works alone. At
$3.50 he takes tea and coffee with
Queen Olga. He then receives his
ministers and deputies, and the per-
sons entered on the visiting book for
private audience. At 1880 he break
fasts with all the royal family. After
this repast he again works for an
hour or two. He then goes out for a
drive or walk. Dinner is served at
8 o'clock, and the company comprises
the members of the royal family, the
dignitaries Of the palace, and some
private friends. The king goes out
very rarely at night, unless it be to
the theater or to the fetes given by
the representatives of foreign powers.
He prefers to pass the evening with
his family.

Boy Drowned.

Eveleth.-William Rosila, 4 ten.
year-old boy, fell through the ice
while playing on the Fayal mine
pond. John Benson, workman,
tried to save him, but both were
drowned. Joe Muhick, sixteen years
old, who with Benson attempted to
rescue the lad, had a very narrow es.
cape.
It was the old story of venturing
on the ice too early. Owing to the
low temperature of the past few
weeks a thin, sheet of ice has formed
on all small bodies of water. On the
Fayal pond it was quite extensive and
tempted the boy. He was walking
and sliding when the ice gave way
and he fell through.

Colorado Celery.

Growing celery is one of the newer
Colorado industries that is proving
profitable and that is increasing in
extent every year.
Colorado celery takes first rank in
both eastern and Western markets for
flavor, tenderness and size.
1t is shipped in carload lots as far
north as Butte, Montana, as far east
as Pittspurg, Pa, and through the
south to Birmingham and New Or
leans. Texas takes many carloads.
The shipments are made chiefly from
Denver and Brighton. and most of the
celery is raised west of Denver, in the
valley of Clear Creek, and north
around Brighton.
The first straight carload of celery
shipped out of Colorado was sent from
Denver, by L. ]. Fort, twelve years
ago. to st. Joseph, Mo. In 1908. up to
November 25th, Mr.. Fort has shipped
275 carloads; other dealers have made

The Garden Huckleberry.

A number of inquiries have come to
the Colorado Agricultural College this
fall in regard to a plant which has
been advertised under the name of the
garden huckleberry.
We grew few plants of this novelty
few seasons ago and found it to be
very productive of black fruits which
were about the size of sour cherry.
The plants are ANNALS and the fruit is
borne in large clusters. The number
of clusters. together with the large
number of fruits set, make the plant
very productive. Upon looking up the
botany of the plant, we find that it is
one of the night shade family, known
as Solanum nigrum.
A form of this plant was a very
common weed at our boyhood home,
and we were always taught that the
fruits were extremely poisonous.
Hence, we have looked upon this re-
cent introduction with suspicion, and
have so advised our correspondents.
However, from reports that have ap-
peared in the horticultural press, it
appears that this berry is being eaten
in some of the northern districts where
fruit is at premium. Feeling that
we might be mistaken in our estimate
of the fruit, we wrote to Professor
Waldron, of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College, in regard to it and
received the following reply:
"In reply to your inquiry concerning
Solanum nigrum, | may say that it
grows freely in all parts of the States,
being apparently native plant, but
with the general appearance of an
introduced one. 1t is used very freely
by our people for culinary purposes,
and for this reason it is sometimes
called pie-berry. In lieu of other fruit
it makes very acceptable preserve,
and, l understand, has no poisonous
qualities when ripe, at least, either in
the cooked or the raw state
As the so-called garden huckleberry
is hardy and very productive, there is
no doubt that if no danger comes from
eating this fruit, it would be valuable
acquisition in many parts of Colorado.
There are some sections where choke
cherries are much priced for the max
ing of jellies and preserves, and if this
plant could be made to grow in these
sections, it would no doubt be accept
able Personally, our boyhood expert
ence with this fruit made such an I'M
preston that we do not care to expert
ment with it, but hope that some one
who is less spleeny in this regard will
have the courage to do so and report

many carload shipments beside sending
mixed carlots made up Of . variety Of
vegetables, including celery.
A straight car of celery contains from
1000 to 1 100 dozen punches, of twelve
stalks each. It is estimated that the
total production for 1908 in the terri
tory around Denver and Brighton will
amount to 400 cars. The Uuion Pacific
Railroad has carried from Brighton,
this season, up to November 25th, 60
straight cars of celery. besides a great
er number of mixed cars of vegetables,
of which celery was part.
The average yield of celery in Colo
RADIO is from 1000 to 5000 dozen
punches per acre, and the average
price received by the grower, 10 cents
per dozen, making the average gross
income from $3.50 to $40 per acre.
Few growers keep record of cost.
One at Olivet, on Clear Creek, reports
a total cost for raising and marketing
of Sll0per acre, for crop that brought
him S400 per acre. His land was
valued at $500 per acre. One of the
large growers, who hires all work done,
reports an average cost of raising and
marketing of 5000 per acre.
Most of the celery in Colorado is
raised on half-acre to two-acre tracts.
The largest individual grower in the
State is L. j. Fort, who. on his farm
near Brighton, grew, in 1905, 50 acres.
Many of the best growers raise their
own seed and have been breeding up
for number of years to improve
quality and reduce ''stringiness.
Colorado seed is preferred as giving
more uniform crop with finer flavor.
The demand for Colorado celery is
steadily increasing. Five yeas ago a
leading shipper sent out Is carloads,
and this year 275 carloads.
70 the eastern gardner who wants to
come to the high altitude of Colorado,
with its dry climate and 800 days of
sunshine each year, celery growing
offers a profitable business.
