Red raspberries have q tendency to

Cutting off the ends of new canes in
midsummer increases this tendency. As
the ends Of red raspbperries arc often

best not to cut them back until the
following spring.
The pruning schedule for red rasp-
berries is keeping down all now canes

Greedy has fallen to 1900 cars. The
cause; Disease crept in by lack of
suitable rotation and maintenance of

The most skillful potato growers
send men with forks through their
potato fields, selecting by appearance
the most promising hills, judging by
the vines. If the hills develop ten to
fifteen potatoes, most of them of good
average size, with shallow eyes, and
no evidence Of disease, the better po.

able portion are small or otherwise
defective, no seed is selected from
that hill Each up-to date grower has
a seed plot, in which he grows the
finest possible potatoes for seed pur-
poses. Each year he selects tho very
best from this plot for growing seed
for his general field and his next
years seed With this extra select
seed, saved from year to year, and
planted on the most favorable soil, it
has been found possible to lessen the
depth Of the eyes, to improve size and
quality, and to largely increase the
yield per acre. If potatoes are very
abundant, some plant whole seed,
which gives an increased yield The
more usual method, however, is to cut
the potato, some planting no moro
than two eyes.
Rotation Pays.
The ground is very carefully pre-.
pared A fine, deep seed bed is re-
quired- The crop is usually planted
with q planter. After planting, it
should be narrowed repeatedly to
maintain q clean, mellow surface, un-
til the tops are above ground, when

needed to maintain q moist condition
Of the soil. Do not overwater, nor
irrigate too late. Cultivate after each

Suitable rotation Of crop, careful
selection Of seed from year to year,
coupled with suitable cultivation and
irrigation, has increased the yield on
the farms Of the most careful grow
ers from 125 bushels per acre, up to
$50 bushels per acre, with occasional
yields running far above this. High
est yields have been secured from the
composite variety called Idaho Rural,

must have been a winter of deep
snow, for we find this entry under
date Of
March 20. This morning we thought
best not to start until half past IL
that the snow might soften. At that
hour We proceeded, leading our ami
mails. Continuing on we soon got in
to the woods again and found the
snow less difficult
Continuing on we passed over some
rough ground and descended to the
Spokane river, opposite the old fort
built by the Astor party, finding con-
siderable snow all about on the hills
of Spokane. We camped opposite the
old fort Cat the mouth of the Little
Spokane) coming about 10 miles to-
day.
Here Mr. Gray lay in camp until
March 81. when the Rev. Mr.. Saplding
arrived with a party of Nez Perce In
dians, en- route to Colville for a sup
ply of seed. The journal continues:
April 1, 1887. This morning Brother
Spaulding and /, after we had looked
at the present and future prospects of
the natives and the present demand
for books and associates, it was
thought best for me to return home
as soon as possible, to procure asso-
ciates for all the stations and books:
and to take with me three natives of
the three different tribes, with horses
to exchange for cattle, sheep, etc, to
bring to the country as soon as may
be.
Brother Spalding tells me his In
dians manifest the most intense anxi-
ETY. to learn to read and write, and to
become acquainted with the ways OF
the whites. and to acquire knowledge
of the true worship of God. He tells
me they have broken considerable
ground for corn and potatoes, and all
they want is teachers and implements
to settle at once. They say that they
will do as he tells them.
This afternoon we crossed over the
river to see the natives at this place,
and the ground they cultivate; also

at Red River by the name of Garry
(Chief Garry of after years.. He has
considerable quantity of potatoes,

First Divine Services in the Spokane
Country.
Agriculture had been introduced
among the Spokanes by the fur trad
ers a quarter of a century before.
The Rev. Samuel Parker, who trav
ersed this region in 1885, is avant
courier of the mission board, visited
the site Of the old Astor fort Here"
he wrote. "the village of the Spo-
kanes is located, and one of their
number has commenced the cultiva-
/ ton OF small field or garden, which
| he has planted with potatoes, peas
and beans, and some other vegetables
all of which were flourishiDg, and
were the first ! had seen springing
up under Indian industry west of the
mountains"
Parker passed on to Colville, but
runners from the Spokanes overlook
him and he halted in a pleasant glade
north Of the Spokane. 1t was the first
time teacher Of the gospel had come
among them. and they were eager to
see him and hear his message.
That service was held on the road
between the Spokane and Colville,
but nearly a year later we find Mis-
slonary spalding preaching to the
spokanes beneath the pines on the

river bank. The historic incident is
thus recorded by Gray:
April 2, Sabbath. About O'Clock
today the natives came over. Brother
Spalding told them that we came to
live with the natives, to tell them
about God, and to tell them that once
there was no earth and no people. But
God made the earth and the people
Providing Mission Teachers for the
Spokanes.
Spalding's discourse dealt with the
creation, the story of the Garden Of
Eden, the coming of the Savior and
the crucifixion. He then expressed a
Willingness to send for mission teach
ers for the Spokanes If they were
wanted. Gray continues:
Several of them successfully ans
wered, saying they were glad we took
pity on them, and that they would
like to have some one come and live
with them to teach them how to live.
They also said they were poor and
their country was very poor, and If a
white man came to live with them to
teach them how to live they wanted
to look up to him as father, and
would love him and do as he told
them. and they wanted to live as the
white man does.
Thus was held the first religious
service on the Spokane. Spalding re-
turned to Lapwai and Gray started
upon his long and perilous journey
across the continent to enlist addi-
tlonal workers in this broad mission
Held. Two years later, in response
their mission brides, entered upon
their sacrificing life among the Spo-
kanes.

 EXPLAINS FIRING
 ON 5, s. TENNESSEE
Informal Explanation Through
 Ambassador to Turkey Tells Why of ShotS--Affair is At End Except in Formal Manner

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21-The Turk ish government has voluntarily ex- plained her firing on the Tennessee's launch Officials regard the explana- ton as satisfactory was an announce ment after a conference of President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and Acting Secretary Lansing.
 The explanation is contained in a delayed dispatch from Ambassador Morgenthau dated November 16, the Turkish officials explaining before the ambassador recefve3 instructions Co investigate.
 Although the explanation is infor- maj and the United States govern ment s still awaiting a reply to the formal representation which Ambass- udor Morgenthau is instructed to make to the Turkish foreign office, it is gen eraliy admitted at the White House by state and navy departments that danger of serious complications over the incident have been removed.
 Ambassador MorgeHtbau reported that two members of the Ottoman cabinet, ministers of the interior ana war had fully explained the occur renee to him and high officials here said his message was filed before in- structions sent from Washington to discuss the subject officially with the grand viz CT could have been received by Morgenthau The president and his cabinet regard the informal ex- planation as a certain precursor of a satisfactory formal explanation and that guarantees for protection of Americans and their interests will be forthcoming also from the Turkish government
 A message from Morgenthau dated November 16 but delayed enroute, re. lieved the delicate situation. It ar. rived late this afternoon and after be- ing deciphered. was discussed at a conference tonight between the presi- dent Secretary Daniels and Acting Secretary Lansing of the state de pdIliieNi.
 The fact that the governor general at smyrna offered to take Captain Decker of the Tennessee by automo. bile to the American consulate al smyrna, officials here declared this indicated clearly the friendliness of the Turkish officials
 The right of a belligerent to mine and exclude neutral merchantmen as well as warships is recognized in in- ternational law, and this is the only ground U ponwhich the subject will probably be further discussed to eli cit from the Ottoman government som 1def mite guarantees respecting the safety of Americans and their inter ests.
