POTATO LORE.

Cookery experts inform us that our grandmothers did wrong in put ting potatoes into cold water and bringing them to the boil, the new method being, when the potatoes are peeled, to stand them in cold water to whiten, and then to pop them in to boiling water. This better re tains the flavor of the potato.
 delicious dish can be made with any cold potatoes and cold fish that may be left over. Mash the pota toes, flake the fish mix together with any sauce over from the fish roll into balls the size of potato lightly done with flour, and fry q golden brown in hot fat.

Fruit to Be Raised
 Along Alaska Coast

A good many fruit trees are being set out this spring in the gardens in Southeastern Alaska, says the Jun eau Dispatch. Some grades of fruit have already been successfully rais- ed in small way, mostly in the line of experiments, but the garden CTS are now going into the business for profit
 Farmers" in Alaska-by this is meant those who started little gar den patches and through experiments and practical demonstration evolutcd into larger tracts-have already soly- ed the raising of many varieties of vegetables and berries for the ma ket. Chas. Anyway, near Haines, last year sold 6o00 quarts of strawber- ries for approximately $1,200. Many other farmers around Haines, Skas- way, Juneau, Sitka and other places disposed of quantities of berries and vegetables.
 In fact, many varieties of wild berries grow throughout Southeast ern Alaska, a wider number. in fact than is found in the interior, although all over Alaska.
 There are many small garden spots throughout Southeastern Alaska that i will some day be utilized by farm CTS. Thus far farming is carried on only near the commercial centers. One may go few miles from most of the cities and be plunged into comparative primitive wilderness and where wild game abounds.
 There are many pretty valleys nest ling in the hills not even discover ed. People should not forget that while Southeastern Alaska is bYt a small part of the territory of Alaska, it is still some chunk, as large as some of the average states. As mining is carried farther into the hills and remote sections farmers will follow Owing to the market offered, there is not a better DOT tion of Alaska today for farming for profit where the locator can se- cure the necessary plot of ground. At the present time, Alaska farmers are selling some produce in Seattle.
