manure or litter to keep out frost small holes
for ventilation, made by inserting piece of
tile in the covering every 10 or 10 feet are
advised by some, but have not found them
necessary. The chief point is not to cover
too deeply at first, but afterwards add cover
ing enough to exclude frost but not enough to
induce fermentation Turnips are more diff
iicult to keep than other roots because they
grow at lower temperature consequently
they should not be piled up so deeply, and
should have no more covering than is neces-
sary to keep out frost even if they freeze a
little it will do no harm, if they can be kept
from frequent freezing and thawing. More
turnps are spoiled by covering too deeply and
by piling in large heaps than by freezing.
The pits or heaps in which roots are stored
need to be examined from time to time in
winter, and If they are too warm, as will ap-
pear by their sprouting into growth, they
should at once be overhauled, the sprouts re-
moved, and afterwards kept cooler, il posi-

The cool weather of autumn hastens to
maturity all the weeds; they ripen seeds with
astonishing rapidly, as If they had an instinc-
tive knowledge Of the near approach Of frosty
weather, and rapidly complete their years
work; weeds only few inches high stop grow
ing, blossom, and go to seed with surprising
rapidity. Earlier in the season they would
take time and grow twice as large before seed

no armistice till the ground freezes. II the

Here are recipes which would like to ex-

change is no robbery.

Powdered alum saturated with sweet spirits

give immediate relief from toothache.
The mere mention of castor-oil is enough
to make a child weep who has once taken it
as ordinarily given. If little boiled milk is
poured into a cup, Tablespoonful of e.

in last, the nauseous taste is effectually dis

The extract of witch hazel, heated poured

The fine weather of the latter part of Sep
tember and early October is the best time for
harvesting such roots as have completed their
growth and are subject to damage by frost.
Beets are the tenderest, and are usually pulled
and piled up in the field as soon as they are
large enough to sell well for the table, beets
should not be too arge--about the size of a
boys fist is large enough. The piles may
contain 10 to 10 bushels each, and should be
covered with an inch or two of lime to pre-
vent whiting. Carrots are next in order, and
may be taken up at any convenient time in
October. Turnips and parsnips are left till
the last, as they are less subject to injury by
frost, Carrots and parsnips are taken out
much more easily after running the large pillow
alongside each row as near as possible with
out injury to the roots The roots can be
pulled by hand or dug with a fork very rap
idly. The roots may be taken from the piles
to the cellar or pit for winter storage in No
vember. For this purpose cellar is very
convenient when they are TO be taken out in
winter for sale, They may be piled three
feet deep if kept cool so that they will not
start to grow. In order to prevent them from
willing by exposure to the air, thoy should be
covered lightly with straw or bog hay. For
keeping till spring pit is preferable to cell
lar as it is less liable TO injure the roots by be-
ing too warm and willing them. The pit is
made by splitting land eight feet wide with

DEATH OF A PIONEER.

in the War Of 1919.
His Defeat for the Tennessee Leg
islature by Davy CrOckeI.

Cor. Nashville Americana
JACKSON, TENN, January 6.-Dr.
VIM. Il. Butler, the Oldest citizen of
jackson, died this afternoon, after a
weeks illness.
DR.. Butler was born in Carlisle, Pa,
January 70, 1890, and was at his death
ninety-two years Of age. He was mar
ried near Nashville, in 1873, toa niece
of General Jackson's wife, and settled
In Madison county in 1921, purchas-
ing a large tract of land, the western
boundary of which is now Cumberland
street, near the center of the city. He
built double log house at what has
since been known as Buffers springs,
in the southeast part OF the city,
where he lived for many years.
At the time Of his death he
still owned most of the property in
that vicinity. For many years DR..
Butler practiced medicine in MUIR
freesboro and vicinity, his income
from this source, and from the sale of
his town lots in jackson ana Mem
phis, made him one of the wealthiest
men in the county and in West Ten
nessee. He served as surgeon on the
staff of General Jackson in the war of
1917, and was present at the battle eff
New Orleans. He was a candidate
for the first representative Of the
county, and was defeated BY the cele-
brated Davy Crockett. The doctor
owed his defeat to the fact that he had
carpet on his floor. Crockett pro-
claimed from the stump: why, my
fellow-ci citizens, my aristocratic and
wealthy competitor walks every day
on store goods finer than any of your
wives and daughters ever wore" The
pioneers Of West Tennessee couldn't
stand that, and to the intense disgust
of the doctor, sat down on him"
DR.. Butler was an elegant and
scholarly gentleman, and in the early
days of jackson no man dispensed a
more liberal hospitality than he did
He has been identified with all the
public enterprises in our city since the
building of the first cabin.
