Mr.. j. K. Starley, tho man to whom
whcelmen are indebted for the present
popular form of bicycle known as the
safety" is an unassuming gentleman,
about 40 years of age, who lives quietly Mt
his residence, Bars Hill House, in the
outskirts of the city OF Coventry, the great
bicycle center of England. He is n person
of much refinement and artistic taste and
is possessed of sufficient wealth to enable
him to display these qualities to good ad-
vantage. His house is handsomely fur

and hospitablc.

The Most Satisfactory Way Il TO Store "a
Dug-Out

The Most Satisfactory Way 1S 70 store EA
n Dug-Out
In a report Of the Kansas state board
Of agriculture, as quoted in an ex-
change, it is said that, il buried, pota-
toes must be covered lightly at first,
and the covering added from time to
time, but only enough to protect the
tubers from frost. This is the most un-
satisfactory and expensive way of
storing potatoes. The next worst is
cellar under building. The most sat-
isfactory and cheapest way is to store
in dug-out. In most Kansas soils,
no walls but the dirt walls are needed.
The roof will be of earth over poles
and brush. In wet weather such roof
will leak unless covered with boards,
corn stalks, straw or other covering.
The best location will be o slope OF
bank facing south. BY leaving an
alley through the center of the dug-out,
with plenty of large ventilator shafts
through the roof, brisk circulation
will be set up whenever the door in the
end is opened-particularly where the
door opens on the level, as it will If
the building is dug in the side of a
bank. The trouble with cellar under
a building is to give it air enough.
The dug-out should be built with a
bin on each side of central alley. The
bottom of the bins should be raised six
inches from the ground. Both the bot
tom and sides are best made of fence
boards, with inch spaces between. The
sides Of the bins should be clear of
contact with the walls, whether stone
or dirt. Spouts should be placed at
intervals through the roof at the
outside Of the bins, through which to
pour down the potatoes into the cellar.
Such building, carefully managed as
to ventilation, opened up on frosty
nights and kept closed during the
warm days of fall and early winter,
will take Early Ohio potatoes through
to spring without sprouting. Early
Rose, Beauty of Hebron and such va
rieties may require turning over once.
The only antidote for sprouting, aside
from the manner Of storage, that is
known, is the scoop shovel. Potatoes
may be kept in cool storage until Au-
gust without q sprout.

The Care of Apple Trees.

Apple culture requires more care
than any other crop. A few years ago
/ plowed my apple orchard three years
in succession, gave it heavy dressing
of stable manure and raised corn the
first year, potatoes the second and
seeded down with barley the third sea-
son, and got the heaviest crop of apples
ever grown on this farm. Some say that
this method over-stimulates the trees.
What if it does? A double crop of large,
smooth fruit for ten years ought To
satisfy us as well as an average crop
for 20 years. 1 believe if every
farmer will follow this experience and
spray his trees thoroughly he would
agree with me that, take it one year
and another, the apple is the most
profitable crop on our New England
farms. Painting the trunk with lime,
soap and water will destroy many an
sects that do irreparable injury to the
fruit trees.-Sidney A. Ellis.

Protecting Plum Trees.

Down in Arostook county, Me-, the
growers protect their plum trees by
bending the tree down to the ground In
the fall and holding it there by placing
weights thereupon so that it may be
buried beneath the snow all winter. In
this way it is made fruitful every year.
This bending of the tree is done without
any injury by planting it in q trench
In a way to have all the roots placed on
each side of the stock on the same line,
and then by taking a Bpadeful or two
from one side, the tree can be brought
to a horizontal position fat on the
ground, and the following spring it is
brought to an upright position again
and fastened to q stake. - Prairie

The Secret Of Thrifty Growth and Rich
Yields Explained.
During a second visit to the state ex-
pertinent grounds near Geneva, N. Y,
in August, / learned the secret of the
thrifty growth and yield Of the goose
berry plants there found in numer-
GUS varieties. The foundation on which
this success primarily rests is good
strong loam, reinforced by yearly,
moderate applications of stable manure
and good tillage. Repeated spraying
with the solution of silver of sulphur,
which the station people prefer to the
The advocate., 1896-01-22

Bordeaux mixture for this particular
purpose, keeps the foliage in good
health, and therefore the wood growth
normal and strong, and also the fruit
free from mildew. With the same con-
ditions strong plants and plenty of
good fruit can be produced elsewhere.
There can be no question that goose
berries thus handled can be made a
very profitable crop.
Layering, as stated on former occa-
sions, is far safer and better method
The advocate., 1896-01-22

than making cuttings, so far as the
gooseberry is concerned. A single
plant hilled up for inducing the young
canes to strike root along their base is
shown in Fig. accompanying sketch.
A dozen or more good plants may
thus be made of one strong plant two or
three years old, and these young plants
if properly planted out and taken care
of, will be in shape to give quite little
fruit the second season from planting.
