Keeping Sweet Potatoes Through
the Winter.

Bg II. +. MISSY. Uortcnlfurjt y e.
ErDer5ment .StotiOn.
The following method ! have found
10 keep sweet potatoes IN perfect ordel
until June Procure a good supply OF
nine straw from the woods IN a dry
time and keep it under cover ready tor
use. Dig the potatoes as soon as frost
cuts the vines. If not convenient to
dig nj once. cut the frosted vines OH at
once. or they viii harbor fungus growth
that will damage the potatoes. Dig on
q warm sunny day-lay the potatoes
along the row as dug, and do not allow
them to be bruised by throwing INTO
niles. Handle at All times as gently as
eggs. Allow them to lie IN the sun
during the day, and IN the evening
haul to a convenient place. Place a
good lave. foot thick, OF pine or
other straw on the ground, and on this
pile the potatoes III steep heaps, not
over % bushels in a pile. Cover the
piles thlckly ali over with the dry pine
straw-now build rough board shed
over the piles, and let them remain
until the weather grows colder, or until
they have gone through a sweat and
dried off Then cover the heaps with
earth six or eight inches thick and beat
smooth The important points are the
sweating under the previous cover OF
the pine straw before covering with
earth, very careful handling, and the
board cover overhead. Dry earth keeps
out more cold than wet earth. If for
family use, put III smaller piles and
take up an entire heap at once for use,
keeping thew in a dry warm place
while using.
