Judge Belinger, OF the United States

also against J. I. English, In reference to
the taking OF timber from publit lands for

first defense was that the wood was cut
from placer mining claims owned by the
defendant, preparatory to working the
claim, and the second that the defendant
would have the right to take from the
public domain wood necessary for the
furnaces In the conduct OF the smelling
business.
As to the first defense, Judge Bellinger
declared that he was satisfied the defend

claim In good faith, aud little more than
In pretense.
The defense also based its claim upon

territories to fell and remove timber on

strong movement among manufactur-

labor bureau. then only two or three

A good many farmers do not pay
enough attention to the subject Of
keeping roots in winter. Where they
can be buried out OF doors in pits. Of
course, they can be kept in proper con-
dition; but on many farms this is not
done, sometimes for the reason that
the supply of roots is not great enough
TO warrant the effort that pit digging
requires. or because the farmer wants
to use or sell his roots in small quanti-
ties throughout the winter. Roots can
be kept fairly we'll in a cool cellar.
One Of the best ways to do this is to
place the roots in boxes Of dirt or
sand This prevents a change Of the
air around them and consequently pre-
vents the loss of moisture. When roots.
like beets. turnips and carrots, are left
in bins or piled on the bottom OF the
cellar we all know what the result is
when they come out In the spring.
The roots are shriveled up and soft,
and one can bend them as they would
a rubber imitation. All the crispness
Is gone, and their value for cooking
purposes is dissipated. But the roots
that have been kept in boxes Of sand
or dirt are crisp and firm when taken
out in late winter or spring. The
work Of so packing them Is not great
and 1t makes a great difference with
their value, either for home use OF for
market

It is always difacult to keep sweet

to be a temperature rather high when
we consider the temperature at which
most things Of like nature are kept.
