TEXAS POTATO HOUSE.

a turning piow just in front of the
point successfully. This rolling coulter
cuts the vines on each side of the row,
while some dirt is thrown away from
the row at the same time. The third
time the turning plow is run in the
center of the row and the potatoes
thrown out. The tubers are then gath
cred and sacked. Care must be taken
not to bruise them, as the soft rot
is apt to start at all bruised places. All
bruised tubers should be sorted out at
once and fed before storing.
We have obtained good results
against black rot by letting the tubers
remain in the ground where they grew
until wanted. Throwing dirt over them
with a turning plow will prevent freez-
ing. If potatoes are to be stored, they
must be dried out first. and those which
decay from soft rot must be taken out
frequently. In about two weeks after
digging they will be dry. and the soft
rot will stop. The cut shows potato

II IS A GREAT MISTAKE

To look for judgment and experience
In youth
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To look for perfection in our own ac-
tons
To measure the enjoyment OF others
by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp
To expect to be able to understand
everything.
Not to make allowances for the in
frmities of others.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not TO alleviate all that needs allevi-
alton as far as lies in our power.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform
To set up our own standard of right
and wrong and judge people accord
ingly.
The last and greatest mistake of all
is to live for time alone, when any mo-
ment may launch us into eternity.

SWEET POTATO CROP.
Texas Experiment Station Gives q
Few Hints How to Harvest and
Store 1t.

To keep sweet potatoes, they must
first be properly harvested. Cattle may
be turned on first to eat the tops and
vines, afterward hogs may be turned
on to harvest the tubers. In this way
nearly all the crop may be saved at a
minimum cost. If the potatoes are to
be dug, it is important to know when
to dig the crop. They should not be
dug when the sap is active in the vines.
If, when a tuber is cut, the cut place
partially heals over and becomes dry,
the crop is usually ready to be harvest.
ed; but if the cut place turns greenish
black, the crop is not ready to be har-
vested.
Vines are a great nuisance in har-
vesting sweet potatoes. We have used

gives the following recipe for white
wash, which if well put on would serve
on dairy walls or even inside the house:
Soak quarter of a pound of glue over
night in tepid water. The next day put
it into a tin vessel with a quart of water,
set the vessel inside a kettle of water
over the fire, keep it there till it boils,
and then stir until the glue is complete
" dissolved. Next. put from six tc
eight pounds of Paris white into an
other vessel, add hot water. and stir
until it has the appearance of milk of
lime. Add the sizing, stir well. and
apply in the ordinary way while stil
warm. Except on very dark walls
SINGLE coat is sufficient. 1t is nearly
equal in brilliancy to zinc white "a far
more expensive article). Paris white
is sulphate of baryfa, and may be OBJ
tanned at al shops.

The season approaches when ones
thoughts turn toward place where the in
conveniences of a Northern winter may be
escaped. No section of this country offers
such ideal spots as the Gulf Coast on the
line of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad

sesses mild climate, pure air, even temper
ature and facilities for hunting. and fishing

reached in through cars from Northern

Despite the assertions to the con-

eels feed upon the bodies of persons
who have been drowned and upon other
refuse. Such is not the case, however.
