Beets, turnips and carrots can be
kept in bins in the barn or cellar. A
layer of carrots and a layer of dry
oats or corn, or even of sand, will keep
them at an even temperature and pre-
vent sudden freezing and thawing.
The same applies to potatoes or other
root crops. Cold does not do them as
much damage as warmth. 1t is when
they thaw suddenly that they begin to
decay. Apples will remain frozen
without being impaired in keeping
qualities, but they viii soon show the
effects of thawing. All root crops that
are kept just above the freezing point
will remain in good condition.

Beautify Your Door Yard.

No one can fail to see that a pur-
chaser would give more for a farm
where taste has been displayed around
the house and outbuildings than for
one equal in acres, location, etc.,
where no attention has been paid to
these things. But. aside from all pc
cuniary considerations, many reasons
are apparent to every intelligent per-
son why this work of house embellish-
ment should be done. 1t renders
home and whatever appertains to it
interchangeable of pleasurable
thoughts and sanctuary of hallowed
association. This is an inducement
sufficiently powerful to lead all
thoughtful people to endeavor to rem
der every appearance in accordance
with good taste.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The problem of a cheap and service
able country road has been solved in
the western part of Cranston. There
are about six miles of this road, which
was built four years ago. The old
country gravel road was the founda-
ton. This was thoroughly picked
and softened, and the macadam, con-
sisting of a coarse stone bottom with
finer crushed stone and dust on top,
was put on and firmly pressed down
with a steam roller. Not much grad
ing was done, and no attempts were
made at Strengthening. No care was
taken for sidewalks. The cost was
estimated at S1,5O0 per mile. For a
road after four years use with no re-
pairing or sprinkling, this appears to
be remarkably good. The town has
its own roller and crusher, and buys
stone of its own farmers.-W. E.
Stone, in Orange Judd Farmer.

selecting Fruit for Export.

In this year of large apple supplies
our foreign market should be carefully
watched. When crops are large there
is tendency to send fruit that is not
the best in size. When crops are
small the average of quality is gener-
ally high, due to the bearing of a small
number of apples on each tree. 1t is
then not so hard to keep up the quail
ity in our foreign shipments Now.
however, we are faced with the ten
dency to send abroad fruit inferior in
size. As the Europeans have formed
a good opinion of our fruit so far, it
is desirable that the opinion be held.
Carefully sorted fruit only should be
permitted to cross the ocean.-Farm-
ers' Review.

The worlds Orange Crop.

Last years consumption of oranges
in American markets reached 1850, 600
boxes. The approaching crop is fig
ured out full s,sOo,ooO crop by good
judges, divided as follows: Jamaica,
700, 900, an increase of 100000 over
last year; Florida, 100000, against AGO.
600 last year; Mexico, 100000, about the
same as last year: California, 7,0O0,-
900, an increase of 100000. The to-
tai increase of supply is expected to
reach 1.720.000 boxes. Unless the ex-
port trade is built up rapidly the
crop marketed will be so large that
prices will necessarily range much
lower
