A typical example of -what may be

Wild prairie berries, is, reported from

he had contemplated. preserving five

about the frnit being there, and their.
failure fier i-eacb. the merk was .entirelY
due to the inability to get ont and

, As an example of . the profttsion -of
fruit in the dratrint, he cites the case
of thlree girls, from a neighboring farm
who ,ivent,Ont ,Picki,ogs with one

A typical example of -what may be
aocomplisthed in the way of preserving
Wild prairie berries, is, reported from
the Battleford country of Saskatche-
wan by .1, P. Bell, ,a'faziner near Med-
stead. He. has, phditographed two
hundred and fift3t galleinte of preserved
fruit reilirSkiretatttS only the blue-

he had contemplated. preserving five

about the frnit being there, and their.
failure fier i-eacb. the merk was .entirelY
due to the inability to get ont and

, As an example of . the profttsion -of
fruit in the dratrint, he cites the case
of thlree girls, from a neighboring farm
