RACKET STORES Have ReYOlutiOnized Prices

According to the annual report of

government stlll owns nearly 100000
600 acres Of land, In addition to tho
100000 acres embraced I'm Alaska.
This land IL Ia twenty-five States and

There are still 100000 acres Of public
land In Kansas, 100000 acres In Mis-
souri, and 100000 acres In Nebras-
ka. The greater part OF the govern

Winter Squashes.

Squashes, unless ripened, will not
keep well. Sometimes they are left out
too long. After the frost has killed the
vines the squashes are exposed to the
cold and to freezing and thawing. Such
squashes cannot keep well. Squashes
must also be carefully handled. If the
shell is bruised in getting them under
cover, they are sure to rot early. They
should be well ripened, gathered before
heavy frosts, well dried, kept in an
even temperature, and carefully han
died. A warm, damp cellar is bad
place for storage. They should be kept
in a dry room, where temperature Is
fairly even and not piled in a heap. but
placed on open shelves. If there are
only a few they may be spread on the
floor. Sort them over and pick out the
soft-shelled and unripe ones to be used
first

A Paris journal says that the disas-
trous effects exerted by lime and plaster
on iron should be kept in mind when
building. If Iron is plunged into fresh
ly prepared lime rapid oxidation takes
place. This soon reaches the heart Of
the iron. which in a short time under
goes a profound alteration in its resist
ing qualities. TO this result must be
added the expansion caused by increase
in volume of the mass. On the other
hand, cement seems to be an excellent
preservative against rust. Such COW
ering is preferable to painting with red
lead.

There is sometimes difficulty In find
ing n profitable market for grades Of
oats that weigh much above the stand
ard, which Is thirty-two pounds per
bushel. In fact most obstetrics which
deliver oats by measure would prefer
to have the grain rather under than
above the standard. We once grew
some oats which weighed thirty eight
pounds per measured bushel. But they
were of new variety, and worth much
more for seed than they could be to
feed. In fact, there Is not much ad-
vantage for feeding to have oats above
the standard weight. Part Of the ad-
vantage of the oats rs feed is its safety,

One reason why much poor butter Is
made In the winter season is because
the milk is set In some room adjoining
the kitchen. where 1t is subjected TO all
the odors of the kitchen stove used in
cooking meats and vegetables. These
odors. with the heat from the stove, are
absorbed by the milk. and as the cream
has to be warmed SO as to ripen, the
germs thus admitted have the best pos
sible chance to increase.
