FOE SWEET potatoes
A Storenouse That VIII Pay for Itself In
Single Season,

A Storenouse That Will Pay for Itself In
n Single Season.
In 1860 l commenced to grow sweet
potato plants and potatoes. I had to
send to Cincinnati for seed. AS seed in
the spring was always dear, l tried to
save my own seed. l tried in various
ways, packing them in boxes and
barrels, some in sand, some in sawdust
and shavings, but had no success.
Some would heat and some would
chill; could not hit upon the right
temperature, SO l concluded to build a
potato house for keeping sweet potatoes
for seed.
l built a house 12x16 feet, setting it
up off the ground the same as a corn
crib. to keep the rats and mice out and
to have q circulation of air under it; l
built it double. | used 2x4 studding for
the sides, using matched flooring for
the first siding. After the first siding
was put on l nailed on some more 2x4
studding on this siding, leaving 4
inches space; this / filled with saw
dust. and on the inside studding ]
lathed and plastered: this left me 4
inches of space behind the plaster,
making the sides about 10 inches thick.
/ also made a double floor, f1oored both
sides of the joists and filed in between
with sawdust, using joists 2xs inches.
Overhead l sealed with matched
boards; over this l laid sawdust 6
inches thick, before the roof was put
on. When done, l had house that
was rat, mouse and air tight. l put a
window at each end near the ceiling,

NO REASON FOR DYEING.
All Hair Is Beautiful If 1t Is But Well
Cared for.

All Hair Is Beautiful If 1t Is But Well
Cared for.
1t almost goes without saying that
well-bred woman does not dye her hair.
If in some moment of, / was going to
say temporary insanity, she should be
induced to do it, although it would be
Notifying, and she will have to permit
herself to look like striped zebra for
a short time, still it will be wisest to
face the situation and allow her hair to
grow back to its natural color. The
fancy for blonde hair. which has been
credited to the fact that the beautiful
empress of the French possessed it. may
really be traced as for back as history
goes. 1t is always said that Eve was
blonde, while the hair of Venus was, SO
it is told, perfect golden. Lucretia
Borgia, Lady Macbeth, Queen Eliza
beth, Anne of Austria. Marie Antoinette
were all light haired. However
this does not make less marvel
Gus the beauty of dark hair,
which from the jet black, which
shines like ebony, to the dark brown,
with it's glints of gold, can not be sur
passed. The explanation as to the diff
ference in the hair is told very funnily
in an old book. 1t is said: THAT
Heaven sent upon earth many women
with golden hair so that they might
charm the other half of humanity.
Seeing this, the devil, who hates men,
sent cooks. These. with their sauces
and ragouts, disordered the human liver
and produced the desired result-dark
skin and hair" However, the color
most esteemed just now is an ashy
blonde. shade that no dive will pro-
duce and which. as it must have a
clear white complexion accompanying
it, as well as black brows and lashes, is
counted by artists at once the most pc
culiar and artistic contrast. All hair is
beautiful that is well cared for, and if
it be remembered that smooth crlmps
are best suited to dark hair and fluffy
ones to light, not so many mistakes will
be made in arranging the coiffure.-

republican supremacy again be estab-

of the obnoxious measure. Harrison
favors it, for he aided Davenport in
drafting it and lent his influence in
having Henry Cabot Lodge father It.
On the very day that the Minneapolis
convention adopted its platform Daven-
port was undergoing a cross-exaH:ina-
ton conducted at Washington by Sena-
tor David Il. Hill. and there admitted
the authorship of the bill, volunteering
the information that at some future
time he would renew the bill and urge
its passage. In this confession and
this threat is apparent the spirit of
federal aggression and partisan out
rage. Whatever Mr. Harrison may say.

Restoring Public Lands.

In accordance with the recommend
alton of President Cleveland demo-
cratic congress restored to the public
domain $1,000. go acres of land given
away by various republican admins
trations to railroad corporations There
was recommended for recovery 65. 02U,-
535 acres more which had been given
away to railroads and others, but was
forfeited for Noncompliance with the
terms of the grant. OF this amount the
present democratic house has passed
bills restoring s., 1928, 996 acres for the
use and occupancy of the people, al
though the republican senate refused
to concur in the passage of the bill,
thus defeating it. President Cleveland
started this grand work, and before it
was finished his official career was
ended. When he is again inaugurated
president and is backed by another
democratic house the work thus exu.1

Washing Silk Stockings.

The proper washing of silk stockings
is a matter of moment, now that they
are commonly worm. White silk stock
ings should be washed in a strong lather
made of CASTLE soap or any good white
soap and warm water. Lay the stock
ings in the 1ather and rub the soiled
spots gently with the hands. Then
rinse them very thoroughly to free them
from all soap. Wiring them dry in a
cloth, turning them wrong side out,
When they are almost dry stretch and
rub them in the hands to make them
smooth and bring them IN shape, but
do not iron them. Black stockings may
be washed in the same way. but should
be kept separate from white stockings
in the washing. Some people go so far
as to rub their stockings when they are
dry with cold iron. always making
the passes one way to make them
smooth and glossy. 1t is a great mis-
tahe, however. to iron any stockings
1t always makes an ugly crease down
the center and does not add to the APP
pearance. 1t is far better to rub them
into shape, fold them up and allow them
to fit themselves to the limb.-N. Y.

CLOVER GROWING.
An Invaluable Plant in Whatever Wa!

An Invaluable Plant in Whatever Way
the Farmer May Use 1T.
The farmer who grows clover never
wants manure. If he feeds it his cat
tie return to him not less than eighty
per cent. of its money value in the
form of manure, and this is equivalent
to The constant and abundant fertiliZ-
ing of the soil and the insuring of per-
ennial fertility. If he turns it under,
it decays with SO much rapidity that
the next crop is able to consume it and
make satisfactory growth. If he
makes the first growth into hay. the
aftermath will supply an abundant
manure for the wheat or corn follow
Ing 1t is thus an invaluable plant for
the farmer in whatever way he may
use it.
But it is not always used as its great
value deserves. When it is to be sown
few give much or due consideration to
the requirements of the invaluable
plant. the profit of which depends con-
siderablv on the manner in which the
land is prepared for the seeding and
the sowing of the seed. While no other
crop deserves so much attention, none
is SO frequently neglected as this The
grow or die as the accidents of the
weather may happen to be favorable
or adverse. How many farmers who
have sold fall grain have given a
thought in the preparation of the sol,
to the seed they intend to sow some
time in the spring? The condition of
the ground will be favorable or other
wise for the sowing as it has been well
prepared now. Imperfect blowing or
narrowing will then show in such
condition of the surface as will make
the successful sowing of the clover
seed very questionable matter. and
to SOW the seed on hard. uDfertile
soil is to risk its total, or at least par
tial, loss
And this loss does not stop with the
clover The use to which this plant is
put in so many ways renders all other
crops following it dependent on it for
their success. If the clover is partial
failure they are equally SO, and this is
not so well considered as it deserves to
be,-Colman's Rural World.

A PARTISAN OUTRAGE.
Desperate Resorts of the Doomed r.
publican Party.

Desperate Resorts of the Doomed Re
publican Party.
The advice of some republican organs
that President Harrison should re-
pudiate and put aside the force bill
issue in his expected letter of accept
ance. shows the desperate straits in
which the doomed organization finds
itself. 1t is asking of Harrison some
thing beyond the power of his acccmp-
lishment. He is capable of accepting
or rejecting anything that promises adj
ditional strength to his candidacy. but
he cannot put aside the Platform
adopted by the delegated authority as
sembled at Minneapolis Even could
he compass this feat there would re-
main the utterly impossible one of
turning down the dominant element in
his party. 1t holds higher than any
other consideration the possibility of
retaining power and making firmer its
grip upon the affairs of the country.
1t is unrestrained by the fact that the
entire country is now one and that
LOYALTY is the common possession of
our united citizenship. 1t has kept alive
the spirit of sectionalism and. for party
purposes, declined to recognize the
binding force of terms offered and ac-
cepted upon the restoration of an I'M
divided country. 1t still plays the role
of conqueror and assumes the right of
continued dictation as against those
who were restored to equal rights and
privileges and have kept faith under
the termsof their compact
