HARVESTING AND STORING ROOTS.

| The first thing to be done in the har-
vesting and storing of roots is to cut off
| their tops with a sharp hoe, while the
roots are yet in the ground, pulling the
| tops from two rows into one. To pull the
roots take plow-one with an old mold
board with the upper half broken off is
best-plow them out, throwing two rows
together into the space not occupied by
the tops. The few roots that are wholly
covered with soil may be thrown out
with fork. In gathering the roots use
no baskets, but throw them directly into
the wagon, cautioning the leaders to take
one root in each hand, knocking them to-
gether to jar off the soil. The load is
driven directly to the cellar, where a
chute has been constructed about the
length of the wagon box and leading to
the cellar. The advantage of the chute
consists in two or three men being able
to work at unloading at the same time
without being in each others way. The
chute should be Constructs Win Sla5 ,
to the ground. This freeing of the roots
from earth is an important factor In their
much earth and litter is left adhering. To
further aid in the cleansing process, "a
dry time should be selected for the work.
The general rule is to harvest roots the
first week in November, though circum-
stances might make a difference of a
week in the time. It is considered un-
wise to leave them out longer, If the
fence in feeding and to keep a compara-
lively high temperature, the bin is placed
in the centre of the basement of large

Up the studding on the inside next the
roots with cheap, rough lumber. The out
side is covered first with building paper
and with matched hemlock boards. In
very cold seacons a covering of straw
will prevent the roots from becoming

should be placed among the roots. These
are cheaply made by mailing four six-inch
boards together forming tube, boring

RAMEsEs AND ABU-sINIBEI..
[From the Cornhill Magazine.

lr IOIl lue COEIlnlll AldSdZlQe.J
It is such a surprising and comfort
able fact that the authorities, for a
wonder, practically agree as to Ram
eses's date, they only varying some
fifty years, which in matters Egyptian
is a mere nothing. A man who reigns
sixty-seven years, lives to be just 100
and begets 10 children is likely to
leave a, pretty big footprint in the
sands of time. His characteristic way
of proclaiming his achievements, as it
were, with fog horn, all up and down
Egypt makes him very precious to the
historian. 1t is your. modest Cincin-
natus kind of hero who does a great
thing, and then, diving back into OBJ
security, wants so much reSearching
that he becomes a trial even to a Ger
man savant.
Directly Rameses had achieved a
conquest, he could not rest till he had
carved the record of it on every spare
wall-space from Memphis up to Abu-
Simbel. Moreover, he kept a poet
laureate, one Pentaur. who wrote a
glorious poem in praise of Rameses,
and this is cut in the walls of Luxor,
on the Ramasseum at Thebes, at Ably
dos, and, of course, at Abu-Simbel. 1t
was about the year 1880 B. c. that
Rameses began his temple at Abu-
Simbel. 1t was a superb idea, worthy
of his great mind; he simply took a
vast hillside, and hewed his temple out
of the heart of it. Nothing less than
facade 12O feet long and los feet high
would satisfy the imperial architect,
and there he set the four immortal
warders, his own royal likeness four
times repeated.
What must they have been in their
unspeakable dignity on the great day
when all Egypt journeyed to the con-
secration of the temple! Even now,
after 5000 years, wrecked and ruined
as they are, eternal peace rests upon
their lips, and defying the centuries,
they still keep watch across the desert
sand, gazing with untroubled eyes into
the very heart OF the dawn.

Western Passenger Association.

The Western Passenger association
committee had a joint conference with
trunk lines Thursday at New York City
on immigration matters which promises
favorable results. The New York Cen
trail has practically receded from the
stand it had taken in protecting the Ca
madam Pacific interests in this traffic
out of New York territory. Unless the
latter accepts some reasonable PROPOSE
ton in the way of a settlement of these
troubles a committee consisting of the
chairman of the trunk lines and Messrs.
Wood, Daniels and Roberts and COM
mittee of three members of the Western
Passenger association, which are Seba5-
tan, Heafford and ThralI, with their
chairman, have invited Mr.. McNicho1 to
be in New York today to go over the
situation, and are arranging for some
settlement if possible. Should the Ca
madam Pacific fail to cooperate with the
two committees the Canadian Pacific VIII
find it will have the. solid opposition of
both associations. which will unite IN OPP
posing any demoraliZing influences which
that line puts into eastern territory. 1t
is not believed it can afford to take the
position of antagoniZing all of these unit
ed American railroads, and it is prac-
tically the first time the Canadian Paci-
in opposition. 1t is not the purpose of
the American lines to wage war on the
Canadian Pacific, but to simply follow in
protecting their interests. Pending a set
tlement of these differences the Western
Passenger association committee has
agreed to withhold the meeting of COM
petition until after this conference.
Eustis, general passenger agent of the
Union Pacific Passenger agents have for
mulated an agreement regarding the &C
ton to be taken by their lines and will
protect the interests of Western trans
continental lines at any hazard.
The snow-bound Canadian Pacific will
be forced to come to terms.

STATESMEN AT CARDS.
Senator's Who Enjoy a stiff Hand Mt
Poker.
[From the Tftusville HeraId1

tFrom the Tftusville Herald
Mr.. Cameron, who is 50 serious and
unapproachable at almost all times in
puolic, is one of the gayest men in the
private circles of his own choosing,
and his house mas been the scene Of
some of the liveliest poker PLAYING
known in Washington He is also one
of the senatorial circle which. during
the session. met at a private hotel
there and played stiff game two or
three times week. One or two of the
men in this game were too poor TO pIay
poker. Butler, of South Carolina. is one
of these poor poker players-poor in
more sense than one. Vest of Missouri
who is one of the iiveliest of the bows
when on a senatorial spree and one of
the most Grabbed and disa greea Bile of
men at all other times, is another of the
poker crowd. Vest lived for manv
years in a little frame cottage on Capf-
tol hill with the sergeant-at-arms of
the Senate and he was so poor that he
said he could not afford to keep house
at the capital. But Vest could afford
to play $50 limit and lose. Cameron
has always had more money than he
could spend. OF course ne could not
give money to his friends, Vest and
Butler; but with his knowledge of the
stock market Second only to that of
Senator Quay he could give them
points of value and put them into deals
which he knew would be Profitable. The
result was to make good the money
these men had lost at poker and keep
them in the game. And as Vest is a
good story teller and Butler ALWAYS a
jovial companion. Mr.. Cameron found
his reward in their society.

Out rates have become a serious me-
mace to the east bound situation. Up to
this week there has been little cutting
from Chicago, the manipulation being
mainly on through business from the
west. The expected has now happened,
and cut rates are in full swing from Chi
cago. The deepest cut is in the provision
rate, which has been lowered to % cents
to New York, the tariff rate being 80
cents. Dressed beef rates are in the
practically all the business Thursday
with every prospect of further cut.
Whether these rates will be met on
west bound shipments thereby benefittfng
Missouri points, local railway OIL
Gals cannot say.
The unique element in this cut of over
26 per cent. is that there is no rate war
except among the rate-cutting lines. Six
of the ten east-bound lines from Chi
cago are persistently cutting rates. Usu-
ally not more than four are cutting on
the same commodity, the remaining six
four in turn may be absolutely maintain
ing rates on another commodity while
others are cutting the rates on it. This
anomaly is caused by the east bound
freight pool and the attempt to even up
agreed per centages. But it in no wise
explains the deepness of the cuts. The

This dead loss on only the two commodi-
