Preserving Sweet PotntOes.

QUESTION. My sweet potatoes are
now sprouting in the banks. l have
heard that they can be kept until another
crop is made. Will you tell me how?
ANSWER In southwest Georgia
have kept them for months in the fol-
lowing manner: Spread on any dry
board floor layer of cottonseed 4 or 5
inches thick, then upon this place q
layer of potatoes, not letting them touch
and first rubbing off the sprouts if any
have appeared. Then another layer of
cottonseed, and another of potatoes, etc.
OF course the cottonseed must be dry
and must be kept so. The potatoes will
shrivel somewhat, but will retain their
favor and sweetness for months
have no doubt that cottonseed bulls,
or chaff from any grain, and perhaps
hay, would answer just rs well as the
whole cottonseed l think, perhaps,
that absolutely dry sand would also ap.

To Find the Live Weight of Animals.

QUEsrIoN.-Can you give me any re.
liable method Of finding the live weight
of animals? have no means of prop
erly weighing them at home.
ANswER.-The following we find
given by the Northwest Farmer :"
We have never tested it, but 1t is doubt
less approximately correct. Multiply
the girth in inches just back of the
shoulders. by the length in inches from
the square of the buttock to the point
Of the shoulder blade, divide this pro-
duct by IA, which will give the mum.
Der of square feet on the surface. If
the girth measures from 3 to feet.
multiply the number of square surface
feet by l6--this will give the weight of
the animal. If the girth measure is
from to feet, multiply by %, if from
to feet, multiply by 81. If less than
feet multiply by II. Of course the
! weight will vary q little according to
| quality and time of the feed just previ-
Gus to taking the measurements. State

 Al Galpin was the possessor of pet calf that he. now mourns, for the pet has met with an untimely ending. Wednesday night Galpin heard a rackc ct in his hen house. He supposed 1t was coyote that he had heard yelp- ing early in the evening. He called his friend, Fletcher Boomer, who is visiting with him, and the two armed themselves for the assault on the hen roost. Galpin had shotgun and Boomer a pistol. Cautiously the lightly clad hunters crept towards the hen roost. "There he is," whispered Galpin pointing to the dark outlines of some animal that was reaching up to the roost with his head and grab bing chickens by the legs. You take aim and fire when I do," he continued, land between us both we will hit it. ' Simultaneously at the word two re- ports rang out followed almost imme- diately by a squawking of frightened hens and a blat that didn't sound much like the dying yelp of a coyote. Both rushed forward and there on the ground lay the dead calf and by it's side the body of chicken with it's head shot off Boomer missed the calf, but shot something.

UP WITH YOUR FLUKES" Command that Startled
 Will HLeGrande. | 5o M < He Saw a Man with a Gun and
 Wicked Eyes. The Highwayman, for Such He Was, Takes Liberties with Le-
 Grand .'s Pockets.

'Up with your fukesr were the gruff words that caused Will Le Grande to stop his whistling and turn suddenly. What he saw was the gleaming barrel of a pistol and behind the gun was a man whose face was partially concealed by a handkerchief Over the cloth flashed a pair of will lainous eyes that showed determina- tion. "Up with them paws before this gun goes offp' was the repeated de mand. Le Grande looked at the mouth of the yawning cannon, then at the evil eyes leering into his face. He sIhivered-who wouldnt-then with alacrity up went the hands. That's right, you show good sense," con- placently said the owner of the gun, and glowing orbs. ''Now let's see if the bird is worth plucking," he con- tinued in a cheerful mood. He felt in one pocket of Le Grande's clothes and found a cigar. Good" was the brief utteranee. He then dived into his victims pistol pocket and pulled out a handkerchief which he threw disdainfully on the ground. Further research into the pockets brought to light a $20 greenback and sS in silver. In the inside pocket of the vest the polite highwayman 1shed up a few letters. From your girl, eh?" he asked jocosely. "Well, I guess you can keep them; pretty dry reading for me-" and he put them back.
 '.Now. young fellow" he said threat eningly, ''you stay just where you are without looking back for two minutes, or l will be compelled to cause your girl to wear mourning for you; good night" and the hfghwayman rapidly moved away. g5J. t,7~
 Le Grande stayed, as he thought, the prescribed length of time, then made nasty tracks in search of a policeman.
 He is the chief operator in the Postal telegraph office here and last night at $50 o'clock, the usual hour, he closed the office and started for the Sixth Avenue hotel where he resides, He always crosses the lot in the rear of the Presbyterian church and it was there that he was robbed. He says that he was whistling while walking and heard step behind him, but be- fore he could turn heard the words quoted above. He says he thought somebody was playing a joke on him at first, but when he saw 'the road to eternity and those wicked eyes he knew it was no joke. The robber, he says, was of medium height, wore a pair of overalls and vest, head was covered with sombrero much the worse for wear He could not see the lower part of his face on account of the handkerchief. The police are now looking for the rascal,

The SOko Ape.

Letters from the African traveller, Oscar Neumann, at Bukoba, says the London News. contains many interest ing things that Neumann learnt from the Manyemas. One is that the Soko ape is very common and much feared in Manyamaland, between Nyangwe and the northern shore of the Tang anyika. Some time ago an Arab wanted to take Soko which he had captured to the coast. He succeeded in reaching Ugogo with his prize. There he died, and his sons, who attributed the death of their father to the entertainments of the wicked wood demon, hastened to retransport the supposed origin of their misfortune to it's native place. and the interesting specimen was thus lost to science.

LAST CHANGE.

Alkire's have offered wearers of straw hats several opportunities this summer to buy their headgear cheap CT than ever before, and although they have sold several thousand straw hats they have straw hats Left. Now they will not carry such goods over and try to sell them next year for brand new because they don't do business that way. Alkire's straw hats this season made a great hit because they were distinctly new, so to be sure and close out the present stock they will from now on until all are gone sell straw hats at cost and below cost. If any doubt this let them call at the big store and ask prices. They will have no difficulty in convincing themselves that there is one firm that can and will sell straw hats at cost. There will be at least six weeks of very sum- mery weather yet and every we'll dressed gentleman can afford to treat themselves to new straw hat just to close the season in as good taste as they began it.

complaint and at the same time he ex-
pressed a willingness to abide by the

Reports from the Trail creek country
are to the effect that ore is again be-
ing shipped from the War Eagle, LIE
Roi and other mines owned by Butte
men, shipments having been suspended
for some time on account of bad roads.
AS long as the mines of Rossland are
compelled to depend on wagon trans
portation there can be no regularity in
the monthly output. There is at pres
ent on the dumps at different mines
some 5000 or 1000 tons of ore awaiting
shipment to the smelters. This condi-
ton seriously impedes the development
of the mines. 1t is reported a large
body of high grade ore has been en-
countered In the lower workings of the
Nickel Plate mine, another property
owned by Butte men. The develop
ment ON the Nickel Plate has been con-
tined uninterruptedly all the fall and
winter. Several small streaks of ore
have been cut from time to time. The
mineral in there has almost invariably
been of high grade. The recent strike
is considered of great importance and
will undoubtedly add another large
shipper to the list of producing mines
in the district.

THE SILVER MEN ARE HAPPY.
Applaud the Action of the Committee:
in Fusing on Electors.

Wilson, n. C., Sept. 24.-(SpeciaD-
The free silver forces in this section
are highly elated over the fusion effect
ed in Raleigh Tuesday. For some
time Populists have been very quiet on
Presidential candidates. Tt is not so
now. The way has been opened, and
the party as one man will go to the
polls on the Bird of November and cast
its votes for the fusion electors. The
people are for silver and will work for
it more vigorously since means of
having their votes counted has been
afforded them. DIR. III. +. Freeman,
Populist elesctor from this district,
is an intense Bryan man. He heartily
endorses the fusion and will do every
thing possible to promote the cause
of silver.
There is some disturbance at present
over the Congressional candidates.
Populists say that if their candidate
does not run they will vote for George
White, the negro Republican candidate.
This sentiment prevails among the
disaffected element of the party-the
Republican element. Fred Woodland is
stronger to-day than before. If can
didate is not put up on the Populist
ticket he will have an easy race.
The negroes here have formed a
Mckinley, Russell, White, campaign
club. The club has enrolled most of
the colored voters in the town. The
fusion Populists look on this move
with displeasure. They want these col
ored votes.
Tobacco is on a considerable rise at
present, it being higher now than at
any time during the season.
