FARMERS COLUMN



Potatoes are best stored in dry, cocl,
cellar, where the temperature can be
kept by ventilation, at about forty
degrees. The floor should be Of planks,
raised three inches from the ground,
AMI laid with one-inch spaces between
them for ventilation. The bins should
be about eight feet long, four feet wide
and deep, made of loose-barred parti-
tions, wired together at the corners. Abin
of thi size will holdone hundred bushels,
and with such a one, it is very easy to
know precisely how much the crop
amounts TO. A box to hold n bushel
will lie a great convenience in gathering
and storing the potatoes. 1t is made
eighteen inches long, fifteen inches deep
in the clear at the sides, and ten inches
wide, all inside measurements; thus
holding two thousand and seven hundicd
cubic inches, or thirteen cubic inches
(about two good sized potatoes) over a
heape1 bushel, which is two thousand
and six hundred and eighty-seven inches.
These boxes can be set one upon an
other, land then have a space left between
the potatoes, and are thus well adapted
for use in storiag a part OF the crop, or
a small quantity for domestic use. The
barred sides and bottom, secure abunG-
ant ventilation. The bins in the cellar
should have space of four inches
between the end and the wall, and
between the sides; this is easily made
by placing short rail between them

The Guernsey Cow at Homo.

We have rarely been so impressed
with the capabilities of the attractive
and suberblY excellent COWS from the
Island of Guernsey, as we were few
weeks ago, when at well known Long
Island farm and homestead, we had the
pleasure Of meeting with no less than
eighteen members of the Guernsey
Cattle Breeders Association. This is a
society formed to cooperate among
G lernsoy breeders of the vicinity of
Philadelphia with the Guernsey Cattle
Club, TO promote their mutual interests.
They hold monthly meetings at the
houses of different members, and almost
al present were members of the Society
of Friends. We had the pleasure CT
inspecting very choice herd, well
Tiled farm, excellent buildings, and a
new COW stable, furnished with an ad-
mirable cattle tie, which, while it is
convenient and secure, is so cCntrivcd,
that by The movement. OF q lever outside
he stable, all the cows may be set loose
1t once-an exceedingly useful thing in
'ase of fire.
The meeting was held On the bread
yeranda of the "Old Brick mansion,
n ercsting papers were read. analyses
milk reported, a system OF tests dis
ssed, and the usual business trans-
lctcd.
Two herds of cattle are kept upon the
arm, a milch herd, largely Friesian,
he milk from which is sent daily to the
'ity, and the Guernsey butter herd,
yalvcs are dropped at such seasons that
lows are in their flush during the winter.

size is not so noticeable as it would be
otherwise. BY the by.this Cottie heifer
