Potatoes that have been kept b!
banking with earth should not be dis
turbed in the spring until about the
last of April. They may then be taken
from the bank and may be stored in Il
cellar or n dark corner of the barn un-
til about one week before planting
time. Then they should be spread upon
the ground where they will be fully eX-
posed to the sunlight. This will cause
the buds to make strong, vigorous
growth, which is not broken off when
the tubers are planted. Permitting the
buds thus to start greatly facilitates
growth after planting. The Cornell tN.
" station has found this method of
procedure TO work well. much better
than when seed tubers are stored in

THE RUSTIC SIGNS.
They Are Being Watched with lntsrs'
By the weather Oracles,

By the weather Oraclcs,
Nowsis the time of the year when
the veteran agriculturalist stops
long enough at the store to ex-
change opinions with all his friends
upon the probable quantities of the
coming winter: In each commuu-
ity there Is generally one who Is so
positive In his forecasts that he is
looked upon as the official prog
nosticator and respected ccordtng'
|ly. It Is not on record that any
such oracle ever missed the wealth :
er very far. In fact, one IS used to
hearing him, whec the matter Is
called up afterward, point with
pride where he hit the mark plumb
in the center In such and such a
respect. His memory Is always
infallible as to results, other mem
cries to the contrary, notwithstand
Ing. To be sure, 1t Is logical that
minds not devoted to technical
study O: The weather should grasp
the subject less accurately.
There are number of signs that
are considered faultless. Among
these are the ground hog, the goose
bone, corn shucks, birds aud trees
For predicting the weather of the
winter season the goose bone enjoys
a distinction parallel with that OF
the grounding for telling spring
conditions. A likely goose is Sc
lected ia the iall-a young goose,
born In the spring of the same year.
The goose Is killed and eaten, but
the breast bone Is carefully saved
and picked and scraped clean.
Then 1t Is allowed to dry, when the
weather prophet closely scans 1t for
indications. 1t will be found that
the breast bo1e..when held up to the
light, shows various shades In
places 1t will be dark, In others
light The preponderance of shade
Is taken to foretell the general ma
ture of the weather. Plenty OF
white In a goose bone Is supposed
to forecast a mild winter, while
much dark presages bard winter.
Some oracles have become so
scientific that they profess 10 tell
Just how the weather will D 10 dit
ferent months by div,dirg the
goose bone into dtffs1enU sec'i""s,
starting from the bottom. The
relative amount CT duk and light
In each section Is maze the basis OF
their forecasts for the respective
periods that tbe sections r. pre- Sent.
