PRESIDENTS DAILY ROUTINE,
General Harrison Writes OF "a Day with
tho President at His Desk"

Ex-President Harrison has written of
"a Day With the President at His
Desk" for the March Ladies' Home
Journal. The article is said to be sin
gularly interesting in the detail with
which it describes the wearisome
routine Of the president. 1t is said
that General Harrison, in this article,
has delivered himself with great direct
ness and vigor, relative TO the annoy
ances that are visited upon a chief ex-
ecutive by persistent office-seekers, and
he suggests a unique plan, by which
the presidents burdens in that direc-
ton could be greatly lightened, and he
be enabled to devote more attention to
more important matters. A feature of
the article that will have a timely in
terest to those ambitious to serve the
country under the incoming admins
tration, describes very fully how the
president makes appointments to Office.
"a Day With the President at His
Desk" is unique in being the first time
that the daily life of the president has
been described by one who has filed
the exalted Office. Articles upon the
social and domestic life of the presi-
dent by General Harrison will follow in
successive issues of the Journal.

Care of Potatoes in Cellars.

There are many dangers OF injury to
potatoes kept in cellars. That Of being
frozen is what happens the worst, but
1t is always guarded against, so that no
caution is needed about that. Much
greater is the likelihood that the pota-
toes are kept too warm, and especially
II they are piled In bins. Some warmth
comes always from potatoes thus
massed, and those in the bin will be I'M
touched by frost even when a film OF Ice
will form over water set In vessels on
the floor. or the potatoes left outside
the heap have been frozen. 1t Is doubt
less the warmth developed by sprout-
ing the potato that creates the warmth
that protects the mass as 1t slowly rises
through 1t. When 1t is seen that pota-
toes are beginning to sprout' they
should be removed and the larger
sprouts be broken of. Those that are
meant for seed ought to be put In a
mass. unless in a pit out OF doors, and
they should be got out and exposed to
air and light so soon as the weather be-
gins TO grow warm.-Exchange.

Feeding Wheat 20 stock.

Wheat is now much dearer than any
other kind Of feed. Yetthere are cir
cumstances in which some wheat may
be fed even at present prices. 1t does
not pay even when wheat is cheapest
to feed it exclusively. 1t has more nitro
genous substance in proportion to its
bulk than any other grain, and is there
fore very likely when fed alone to fer
ment in the stomach. Yet when COM
bined with other grains and cut hay or
straw the wheat paid for hogs very
near its present prices in the market.
Therefore a small proportion may yet
be fed with profit For one kind of stock
wheat is always the cheapest grain.
That is for laying hens. But they must
not be fed much lest the hens fatten. as
they will just the same as If overfed
with corn.-American Cultivator.
