party of thrifty shoats in the fall after
a summer on clover.
As to the manner of feeding and the
material given sheep in winter there
are three points of cardinal importance:
l. Sheep should be fed with perfect
regularity. 9. Though fond Of variety
and requiring it to secure the best re-
suits, feeding sheep resent a sudden
change to an unaccustomed feed stuff.
5. Hence mbination of feeds is better
than radical change.-American Sheep

THE FASHIONABLE FUR.

Favored Dv the Wife Of Every Cabinet
O0eeF In the Admlnlstratioa.
The flrst state dinner of the season
given by the president and Mrs Cleve-
land established beyond q shadow of
doubt that ermine is not only the lead
ing fur in the fashionable world, but
that it is . favorite one with the wom-
en- of the administration. Without a
single exception the wife of every
cabinet officer reioices in the possession
Of wrap lined or trimmed with this
fur, which but . season ago was tho
despair of dealers, rs they could not ins
duce customers to purchase it even at
the most ridiculously low price. Now,
by the inscrutable caprice of fashion.
it is the furrier's turn to dictate, and
the society woman's ignoble part to
meekly succumb. since she must keep
mp with the fashion at any cost Not
to possess some ermine, either rs lining,
trimming. muff or collar, is ut once to
be counted out Of the race.
Not only is this fur used for outside
garments by the elect of society, but it
Is cropping up in bathrooms, taking the
place of mink and sable rs trimming
for gowns of heavy satin, brocades and
even the lighter, flmy materials used
by younger people. It's use is confined
to no especial age, inasmuch rs it is
considered in the present season rs ap-
propriate for the debutante as the
matron. Now that crime is once more
fashionable it has, of course, come to
be looked upon as very effective and
becoming, without the slightest sug-
gestion of stage properties or hint of
kinship to the robes Of kingly tragic
characters in trailing garments lined
with royal cat fur. embellished by va
rious devices of the costumer's art to
simulate the costly genuine ermine
tails.-Kate Fields Washington.

One Mans Experience In Keeping the
TuberS.
Being much interested in the sweet
potato question. and seeing the debate
tagging somewhat, venture my ex.
perience.
The management Of the sweet 20.
tato is easy and the treatment simple,
and therein, I fancy. often lies the
failure sometimes to make. and often
to keep when made. There are but
two ways Of destroying this superb
esculent:
l. Cold; not absolutely freezing it.
Frost destroys. and it Is just soft,
limp m ass, unfit for anything as soon
As the thaw comes. Exposure to cold
without freezing, whilst it does not en-.
tirely destroy it. makes it black and
stringy. and though before being
cooked it may appear all right, yet the
cooking reveals its worthlessness and
It is unfit for human food.
?. Heat; storing it in u place too
warm. In short, cooking it in bulk in
bank or cellar. 1t then rots rapidly,
and in cases like that of Bro. Rawlins,
disappears. This is not what happened
to his: he was too kind and made ita
surroundings too comfortable for its
sensitive nature.
have had experience for the last fif.
teen years, from the coast to Dallas,
and west to Brown county, in cellars
and banks. and unless the cellar Is
properly built and perfectly arranged
inside. I prefer banking out in open
field where the root is grown. Aud my
experience of this season amply justify
this conclusion. I planted in May
and June, from slips and vines
the latter made the prettiest po.
tatoes-in sandy land, Brazos upland,
black jack and post oak. Kept them
clean with hoe and sweep, and late
in the fall, after three touches Of
frost. the last completely killing the
vines. cut them off at top Of ground
and several days afterward plowed
them ont. throwing them upon the
ridges, where the bright sun and brisk
wind dried them. and before the sun
set / had them in banks and covered
by their own vines. upon which piled
the earth by degrees, leaving an ample
air hole in top on south side, which
vent has remained open all winter un-
til the blizzard of January 1926. I
closed these vents on that occasion,
and on opening my banks last Sunday.

they are not only cheap in proportion
