Keeping Sweet. I'ot.tos-.

When the time comes to dig, do not
wait for the frost to kill the vines. If
possible dig when the ground is dry,
the drier the better; dig what you can
get under shelter. Be sure you get
them there. Put them in hills of so to
100 bushels. Get dry, clean pine straw.
Take bark, put it on evenly all over.
AS you put it on put straw with fork.
Press the straw with one hand. Feel
with others to inches. Then put on
the dirt even all over. Cover inches
deep and the sooner the better. This
thick covering keeps them from heat

The findings Of President Cleveland's
committee to investigate the Pullman
strike are substantially that either the
government must interfere to protect
the employees Of railway corporations
or else it must own the railroads itself.
In case of the Pullman strike the COM
mittee, of whom Carroll D. Wright,
labor commissioner, is prominent
member, finds that the rent charged
Pullman employees was 20 to rs per
cent more than the same accommoda-
tions could be had for in Chicago. A
high rent was charged even for occupy
ing the church the Pullman company
built, SO high rent that the church
was seldom used. The committee finds,
further, that the company did not keep
the works running in hard times for the
sake of the workmen, but only for its
own sake. Pullman was found to be to
blame for refusing to arbitrate the diff
ferences between himself and his men.
The committee discovered there was
something to arbitrate. Finally the
Railway Managers association is de-
olared to be illegal.
