pITTING POTATOES.
After All Has Deen Done or said, This
Is the Safest Way of Keep
Ing the Tubers.

Potatoes keep better IN a pit than
anywhere else, but they must be well
protected to prevent zero weather from
catching them. They should never be
covered deeply enough to allow them to
become at all heated or they will start
20 grow. The first covering should be
not more than six inches deep and this
should not be increased until the
ground has frozen enough to bear up
man. Then put on u covering of straw,
ever the soil already on, and put on
more soil, patting it down to make ~
shed rain. Leave the pit until actual
winter has come and the ground is well
frozen and then over all put foot OF
fresh manure from the stables. Don't
be afraid Of driving .he frost in, for this
will not happen. Keep the manure on
until the potatoes are needed in the
spring, for the covered pit will not
thaw out nor will the manure allow 1t to
freeze any more, and the potatoes will
not sprout until time for planting in the
spring if left in the pit.
Potatoes that are to be used for seed
should be placed in a pit by themselves
SO as to leave them undisturbed until
taken out to plant.-Farmers' Voice.

THE MOTHER-IN-LAw.
rhis Authority says That Husbands
Are Jealous OF Her and That
Makes the Trouble.

Those of us who are in the way OF
reading the comic papers have regarded
the alleged aversion Of men to mothers
in-law as merely kind of stock-in-
trade joke that was conveniency TO
cheap wits. II seems. however, tina;
the feeling is recognized as such in law,
as in a recent case where man sued his
mother-in-law to recover some property
the jury were closely questioned as to
whether they entertained a prejudice,
either generally or specifically against
mothersin-law that would prevent
their rendering just verdict. Al .nst
twelve good men and true, presumably
bachelors, were Sound who testified to
having no feeling on the mother-in.law
question. and the case proceeded.
Probably very few men would admit
to being influenced by the stale and
silly gibes at mothers-in-law. but that
they have great weight is proven by the
attitude that almost every man takes
toward his wfe's mother. He has
been warned by the comic papers that
she will attempt to manage him and
run his house; that she will incite his
wife to acts OF independence, and "put
her up" to defying his opinion So he
Is on his guard. He looks upon her
with suspicion, and is apt to think tha;
the most harmless suggestion is un-
warranted interfering.
To certain degree this feeling may
be traced to u not unnatural jealousy
The young husband is always very
selfimportant. He expects to be all

Pruning can be done at any time that
the trees are not frozen. Cions may
also be cut for grating and stored away
for use later.
