Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

An Arkansas correspondent of Rural
New Yorker says:
10 keep sweet potatoes successfully
requires a moderately dry atmosphere
and temperature from SO to 70 +. A
temperature much below 40 degrees for
any length of time would be likely to
result disastrously. An ordinary potato
cellar requires the temperature to be
kept too low to be an ideal place for
sweet potatoes. II ! had a few potatoes
and wished to keep them, l would use
good sized box or barrel, stratify the
tubers with perfectly dry sand or chaf
and put them in some warm room in
the dwelling where the above conditions
could be secured. II no such place could
be found, then would set the barrel or
box in the potato cellar. Being thus
stratified would at least keep them from
sudden changes of temperature, even in
the cellar, which would be no little ad.
vantage to them.
