THE CRANBERRY. 13 cranberry grounds. The only difficulty experienced by those who are inclined to enter this field of agri cultural industry, is the difficulty experienced by every other new enterprise,—the want of knowing how to begin,—and when begun, how to carry it on to a successful issue. Hitherto, no reliable instructions have appeared in print, but in the following pages, the subject will be so fully treated of, in all its bearings, that any intelligent agriculturist will, by following the hints thrown out, and the directions given, find no difficulty whatever in securing decent crops of this increasingly popular berry. The cranberry has long been known to naturalists as a berry possessing certain properties and peculiarities, although but comparatively few years have elapsed since its use as a culinary fruit has been extensively known. Long years ago, it was used by the Indians, who in their way were extensively acquainted with the products of the soil; they gathered, and- roasted the unripe berries and used them as. poultices, believing that when applied to the wounds made by poisoned arrows, they had the power of drawing the venom forth. Many a squaw of the Pequods on Cape Cod, if we may credit the statements of some of the early settlers, made a mess of cranberries to give a relisli to the venison they killed and cooked; thus anticipating the more elaborate jelly of our own times,
