THE CRANBERRY. Establlshmnnt of 11 Cranberry Hog—Cranberries as a .Honey Crop. The cHtnbliH|iuiPut of a cranberry bog requires time, expense and putieuco, j but once in good form there is little i outlay in keeping it iu conditiqu. A moist soil is necessary. Experience has j proved a peat or muck soil, free from loam or clay, is required, clean sand for covering the peat and arrangements whereby the vines can be flowed when necessary, and Anally thorough drainage, 1 In the colder part of the country the vines are flooded in winter to protect them from frost, the usual time being from late October to the Ist of May, 18 to 24 inches of water being considered sufficient, ac/ording to The Orange Judd Farmer, authority for the following: In preparing swamp lands bushes and stumps must be removed and the surface coated with 4 to 8 inches of sand. When properly drained and ditched, the land is ready for the vines. The sand is essential in order to choke the growth of weeds and grass. Clay and loamy sand should bo avoided. On soils thus prepared the best method of planting vines is to place them iu rows marked out 14 inches apart, two vines at each point, 14 inches apart in the rows. The plants are pressed into the ground with the roots close to the muck below. Another method sometimes employed in Jersey is to spread the vines evenly over the surface of the meadow, cover about an inch deep with sand, the young shoots later coming up as thick as wheat and making an excellent growth. Some succeed by sowing cuttings, the vines being passed through a straw cutter and chopped into pieces about an inch long. These are sown early in spring and on prepared ground and harrowed in. Much attention must be given to drainage, and this goes far to make or mar the work. Cranberries are gathered in September and October and will ordinarily keep well in places suitable for storing . apples or other fruit, with as low a temperature as possible to avoid freezing. Thorough ventilation is very essen tial. '■ A successful Cape Cod grower, in • estimating |he cost of harvesting and marketing cranberries, places this at about $3.25 per barrel. This figure does not take into account the outlay of time and money before a cranberry bog is in bearing, nor interest on permanent investment. Prices are governed not only by the size of the commercial crop, but also by the abundance or scarcity of other fruits. A year ago good to choice berries sold at $2.50 to $4, but in the seasons of great plenty, as the present, one, the price is much lower, frequently down to $1 -to $2 per bushel. In considering cranberries as a money crop some growers who have had wide experience claim the profit is small and uncertain. The market is small, consumption does not move at home and efforts to introduce cranberries abroad have amounted to little up to the present time., Winter Workroom.

Agricultural Brevities. Kaffir corn is adapted to all soils and to regions too dry for corn. In tests with tomatoes at the .Minnesota station the largest yield was .obtained from the Early Advance, Belmont ranking next. The largest percentage of good fruit (95) was produced by Landreth No. 1. At the Minnesota station French Chevalier proved to be the best out of 34 varieties of barley, followed by Odessa, Champion of Vermont, Highland Chirf, Black Hulless and Salzer. The acreage of alfalfa will steadily increase in Oklahoma. It has proved to be one of the most profitable crops that can be grown in the west. In Washington and Oregon extensive tests of sugar beets have been made under the auspices of the state stations. The report js that * ‘there is no doubt about the ability of vast areas iu both these states to produce beets as good as those in California. The same is true in large measure of other sections of the arid west” Sixteen varieties of potatoes are reported as above the average in yield, at the Ohio station —American Wonder, Columbus, Carman Na 1, Early Northern, Forest Bose and Irish Daisy Reading.

The bullet hit 11' 1 ones, but stopped under the skin on tl.c far side. Antelopes shot almost anywhere in the body fell within 20 yards, seldom stripping the bullet. The holes the bullets made were small at the entering point, but where the bullets came out one could frequently put a doubled fist into the wound. Commonly the wound was two inches across A single hard nose bullet fired from a mannlicher title at a rhinoceros passed lengthwise through it, killing ir, and then through another one’s shoulders, killing it too. Tigers shot through the body sickened at once when a soft nose • bullet was used, while deer of all sorts were knocked down by the force of the bullets, and hot often were able to get to their feet again. The bullets that mushroom come out in different shapes. Some fly to pieces, only shreds of the metal coating remaining on the battered butt, the lead being found, in tiny splinters, scattered iff the flesh in the path of the bullet. Some bullets curled back, looking like toadstools with rounded tops, but these hit no bones. The bones are shattered, and they distort or smash the bullets.
