Burying Vegetables.

Carelessness or lack of knowledge in
burying roots is the cause of much loss
and Encouragement among farmers
every spring. While it is generally adj
visable to bury large proportion OF a
crop of potatoes, turnips or beets, the
process so often results in failure that
much caution and care should be eXer-
cised. 1t is the common fault in bury
inc potatoes that too little straw or
other loose material is placed over
them, and then too much earth added.
1t is always necessary to look well to
the soil and location. Above all things,
select a place that is naturally we'll
drained. Light soil is usually prefera-
BILE, as it is warmer and allows of more
ventilation. The more air one can have
in the pit. and still keep the tempera-
ture above freezing, the better.
Do not dig a deep hole for burying
potatoes. A foot excavation is ample
TWENTY-FIVE bushels in one pit are pref
cradle to fifty bushels. Heap them up
to a point, and cover foot deep with
dry straw. Two feet of straw, even, is
better than six inches. Then throw
over Just enough earth to hold the straw
down, and let it remain till freezing
weather comes. AT that time add more
earth In the majority of instances six
inches of earth is sufficient. This will
especially be the case if the pile is in
the lee of n building or fence which
will catch the snow.
Turnips, beets, etc, which are to be
used before spring, can be buried in
pits three or four feet deep. Select a
warm and well-drained spot, and dig a
series of pits three or four feet square,
and separated from each other by six
! inches or foot of earth. One OF
these pits may be opened during the
winter without exposing the others.
Fill the pits to a small heap above the
surface, and cover literally with straw
The sides OF the heap may be made par
allel when the earth is added, and wide
boards laid on either side, which can be
raised with the snow on them, If 1t Is
desired to open the pit.
One of the most difficult of vegeta
bles to bury successfully is cabbage. 81
much depends upon the variety, sol
and season that little advice can b.
given in regard to burying them. Th
late varieties, as Winningstadt, etc.
usually keep we'll if buried in shallow
trench, with head down and root pro
truding. In this case, as in the Others
liberal amount of straw should b
used. In burying all products it shoul
be remembered that the use OF liberia
amount of straw and very little earth
until cold weather sets in, are the mos
important factors to be- considered atte
one has made choice of well-draine
location. --14mericdn CHltiUdtor.

where's the fire?"
The answer came promptly:
Early Bargains With the Indians.

The disposition to cheat and defraud
the Indians has been much eXaggera-
ted, at least as regards the English set
tiers. The early Spanish invaders made
no pretense of buying one foot of land
from the Indians, whereas the English
often went through the form of purchase
and very commonly put in practice the
reality. The Pilgrims, when in great
distress at the very beginning took bask-
cts of corn from an Indian grave and
paid for them afterward. The year
after the Massachusetts colony was
founded, the court decreed: sit is or
dered that JosiaS Plastowe shall (for
stealing four baskets of corne from the
Indians) returne them eight baskets
againe, be fined five pounds and here
after called by the name of JoSias, and
not Mr., as formerly he used to be-"
As mere matter of policy it was the
general disposition of the English set
tiers to obtain lands by honest sale; in
deed, Governor Josiah Winslow, of
Plymouth, declared, in reference to
King Philips War, that "before these
present troubles broke out the English
did not possess one foot of land in this
colony but what was fairly obtained by
honest purchase of the Indian proprie-
tors" This policy was quite general.
Captain West in 1910 bought the site of
what is now Richmond, Virginia, for
some copper. The Dutch Governor
Minuit bought the island of Manhattan
in 1926 for sixty gilders. Lord Balti-
more's company purchased land for
cloth, tools and trinkets; the Swedes OBJ
tanned the site of Christiana for a kettle;
Roger Williams bought the island of
Rhode Island for forty fathoms of white
beads, and New Haven was sold to the
whites in 1888 for 'twelve coats of En-
glish cloth, twelve alchemy spoons.
twelve hoes, twelve hatchets, twelve
porrirgers, twenty-four knives and
twenty-four cases of French knives and
spoons" Many other such purchases
will be found recorded by DR.. Ellis.
And though the price paid might
often seem ludicrously small, yet
we must remember that knife or a
Ratchet was really worth more to an
Indian than many square miles of wild
land; while even the beads were sub
stitute for wampum, or wompom, which
was their circulating medium in deal
ing with each other and with the whites
and was worth in 1860 five shillings
fathom.-E w Higgins0n, TN Harper's

Death for Mispronouncins a Vowel.

A single slip in the tragedy of Cato
cost little Welsh actor his life. His
name was Williams. Playing Decius to
Quin's Cato at the Lincoln Fields
Theater in 1918 he enters with Cesar
sends health to Cato" but he pro-
nounced the last name affectedly, mine
ing it into something like "Keeto. "
Quin, who gave broad classical enun-
citation to the letter a in the word, was
offended, and instead of replying:
"Could he send IL
To Cato's slaughtered friends it would be well
come"
he exclaimed, 'Would he had sent a
better messengerr
The fiery little Welshman was burst
ing with rage, and when Cato resumed
with: "Are not your orders to address
the Senate?" he could hardly reply:
'My business is with lit Uould come
.Keeto.'" Ten times in the short scene
he had to repeat the name, and Quin
nearly as often; but the latter gave it a
broad sound, and delivered it with a
significant look, which almost shook the
little actor off his feet, and did shake
all the sides of the house with mex
tinguishable laughter. When they met
in the green-room the Welshman, triply
armed by having just ground of COM
plant, assailed Quin for rendering him
ridiculous in the eyes of the audience.
Quin said it was in their ears, and would
have laughed the matter off, but the
soul of Williams would not stoop to
such treatment, and after the play he
lay in wait for Quin under the piazza as
Cato passed that way to take his punch.
The elder actor laughed as Williams
drew his sword and babe Quin defend
himself. The latter would have de-
Tended himself with his cane, but the
angry Welshman thrust SO fiercely that
the other was fain to draw his rapier.
which speedily, without malice or inten-
ton on the part of the wielder, passed
clean through the poor players body.
Decius was stretched dead on the pave
ment, and Cato looked on bewildered.
Here was man slain, and all for the
INSTRUMENTATION of a vowel. The
tragedy brought Quin to the bar of 'the
Old Bailey. but the catastrophe was laid
rather to the fashion of wearing swords
than to drawing them with evil pur-
pose, and Quin was freed from censure,
but not from sad memOries.-NoteS and
