IN the
In the latitude of central New York

method which has proved most sue.
cessful is as follows, says Country
Gentleman: At time of digging the po-
tatoes are put into piles on the surface
of the ground and not in pits, and not
more than 20 to % bushels are put in
each pile. \ thin covering of straw Is
put over the potatoes simply enough
to keep them from being affected by
the light frosts of early fall As the
season advances and nights become
colder additional straw is put over
the pota toes. About the last of Novem-
Der 1t becomes so cold that the piles
must be covered with earth. Then tfa
pillow is taken and several burrows
made around the pile, the earth being
thrown toward the potatoes. With the
shovel enough loose earth is then
thrown on the pile TO cover 1t complete.
ly three 10 four inches in thickness,
The thick covering OF straw which Is
put on next to the potatoes and the
covering Of earth which holds the
straw in place give sufficient protection
and serve to keep the potatoes until Sc
we're winter weather. When additional
covering is required, II is supplied by
covering the potato piles with strawy
barn manure. This coarse manure Is
put on heavy enough to keep the frost
from the potatoes during the winter.
If as the winter progresses II should be
one of unusual severity, the manure
may be increased upon the potato pile.
The purpose is to keep the potatoes in
cold storage The light layer of straw
which is put on in early fall allows the
potatoes to sweat and permits the
moisture which is developed to pass
off. thus lessening danger of rot
In more moderate climates cornStalks
have been used to good advantage In
covering over piles of potatoes. The
cornstalks are stood vertically or at an
angle of about - degrees over the
straw which has been put next to the
potatoes. and no straw whatever Is
thrown upon the piles. This covering
WOuld llarull answer IoT tlle seNeit Cii-
mate of Illinois Should the potatoes
be put into large piles at the time of
digging it would be we'll to leave them
in these piles until somewhat late In
the fall until the ground has become
we'll cooled or light crust is frozen on
the surface at night. Then the pota-
toes may be sorted from the large pile
In which they are put, the rotten ones
thrown out and the good ones put in
small piles of 20 to - bushels and
these piles covered with straw and
light covering of soil. This method
would neceSsitate considerable extra
work. but the potatoes would keep
much better by being handled over the
second time.

A KANSAS APPLE CAVE.

lustrate the general principle of the
class. Such cave is usually construct
ed on hillside sloping toward tho
north, so that the entrance is protect
ed from the southwest winds that pre-
vail during summer and autumn. In
moist soils the cave must be walled. In
dry soils no walls are required. Up.
right posts along the sides support the
top, which is made of poles, over the
poles is "A layer of coarse hay, and over
the hay soil to the depth of two feet.
Several flues are made for ventilation.
Such a cave may be built any desired
dimensions. Some are being planned
with doors in each end and large
enough to allow passageway for
wagon through them. The best system
of ventilation and the most even and
desirable temperature can be maintain
ed by use of an underground yentila-
ton pipe leading from an opening in
the floor of the cave to a similar open
ing on the surface of the ground sever
al rodS away. The pipe should be large
enough to provide sufficient air for tho
cave and should have valves at each
opening to regulate the supply. The
air in passing through the pipe is cool
ed In summer and warmed in winter
and thus brought to near the proper
temperature for good results in keep
ing fruit. To complete the system sew
eral flues should lead through the top
of the cave to the open air above. The
sum of the capacities of these tlues
should at least be equal to the capacity
of the yentilator leading into the cave.
