SWEET Potato CROP.
u Proper Care II Exercised u Can Be
stored and Kept .urccssfuIiy
for u Long Time.

Sweet potatoes can be stored and
kept perfectly II certain rules are very
carefully observed. First, they mus,
be dug when the soil is as dry as pos.
sible; next they must be very carefully
handled all the time, and third, they
must be very carefully stored. No cut
Or bruised potatoes should ever be
stored. They should not be thrown
into heaps when they are dug. but left
to lie along the rows and dry in tho
sunshine. They should not be thrown
into a wagon body, but packed care
fully into baskets or boxes. II they
are to be stored for market, a special
ly prepared house is necessary. a
width of 10 feet Is best with Il length
according to the needed capacity. The
walls should be doubled and well
packed with sawGust. The house
should have n ceiling, a loft and 2
span roof and the loft should he
packed with straw. Above the roof
which car be opened or closed. There
should he a passage through the cen.
ter. with Slated shelves arranged on
both sides. A good heating appGra.
tus must be provided. Ia the south
three or four oil stoves will do for
this; but in the north the best ar
rangemen: is a good brick furnace at
the end with a large sheetiron flue
passing overhead through the house
After the potatoes are stored, the TEN.
perature should be raised to about 90
degrees for several days. til the po.
tatoes are through heating and have
dried on. After that the temperature
should be kept not lower than ~ de.
grees nor higher than so degrees. The
ventilator should he opened whenever
81 rises above this point.-Prairie
Farmer.

L. the HNtniO OXcriiCnc.

One eminent authority on cooking
who has issued several books upon the
subject, calls for n crusade against the
potato. 1t is, she holds, an ovcrcsti-
mated vegetable. Certainly there Is
something odd in the place it has
taken in domestic economy. There are
other vegetables quite as cheap and
quite us palatablC that might at least
occasionally be offered in it's place.
But still the potato %triumphs. 1t has
become II sort of superstition. How
many times have children who did not
like potatoes been made to rat them?
And they are not n particularly val.

ALUM, FLINT AND

1t Is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by pcddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-callcd cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and 1t is claimed that the article Is u
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of a pure article.
H~ousekecpers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
In some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
Ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DIR. S. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor OF Chemistry at Yale Col
loge, says: Bread made with a bak-
Ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice. and must, therefore, act
as a poison"
1t is well known that these so-called
Cheap goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One OF
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be onc-Quarter

In IA Broad street hotel in Philadel.
phia Senator Quay and some friends
were in the habit of sitting in at u

of which senator Pcnrosc, of Penn

asked: 'What's all of one color?"
"A fush,' he was told.
"Ili play" he observed.

Mundt is still in the county Jail ana

coming of another criminal term of
court has made the sheriff's office
short handed, and Sheriff Doust said
that Spencer would not be taken away
before the latter part of the present
week
1t is not believed that Spencer will
be put in the brick yard or the iute
mill at the penitentiary. He is not
strong and his lung through which
he shot himself. gives him more or
less trouble. 1t is sore. His side also
