Keeping sweet PoIatoes.

read an article In your paper OF No
vember Is, on keeping potatoes. And
l want TO tell you how | keep mine. A
nelgbbor has borrowed my paper and
can't quote your words exactly, but
you said the moon has no effect upon
potatoes and that YOU had never tried
putting potatoes mp in the moon"
Now that sounds quite sarcastic. You
can't make an old farmer believe that
the moon has 10 influence over vegeia-
zion. The moon, am told G've not
seen ~. causes the ebb and flow Of the
ocean tides. If the moon has that
much Influence over the ocean. why
does it have 70 influence over the
earth? 1t is certain fact that corn
planted on The light Of the moon will
grow taller than that planted on The
dark Of the moon; and so II is with
many other things we grow; and con-
lend that potatoes dug on the full
moon will keep better than when dug
on the new. | do not wait for frost
to kill the vines. | take them up when
the moon is right, The moon was full
last month October on the 10th. l
took up a portion of my crop on the
10Th and Intended TO take up the bal
ance on the next day, but 1t looked like
We would have rain and went about
saving what had taken APP and left
the remainder to be taken up next full
moon. l knew / was taking n great
risk, but rather than take them up
after the moon had fulled, l waited
for the full moon in November and I
took them up on the 14th of November,
ono day before the full moon. put
my potatoes In hills about fifty bushels
to the hill. 7 round them up and put
corn stalks next TO the potatoes. Then
put a covering Of pine leaves, or
wheat stBaw, or hay and cover with
dirt eight of ten inches or more |
leave the ton Of the ill uncovered Of
dirt for n few days, ana then cover 1t
good all over, making it alright.
then cover the hill with plank. leaving
1t so the sun can strike 1t on the south
side. Now, Mr.. Editor, have fol-
lowed this plan for years and 1t is the
best way to keep potatoes that | have
ever seen tried. II the potatoes do
not get frost-bitten, and the proper
care is exercised in ventilation ,whne
they are going through the sweat,
they can be kept until June.-A. y.

A Suspicious Character.

An amusing mistake occurred lately
In street car in Philadelphia A
woman loaded with bundles had found
a vacant seat. Her umbrella. which
had kind Of shepherds crook handle,
was placed at her side. leaning against
her seat. The Philadelphia Telegraph
tells the story.
No sooner had the lady settled her
self than a gentleman entered. He
wore a heavy overcoat. and without
paying any attention to those about
him, took the vacant seat next to the
woman with the umbrella.
He did not notice the umbrella and
the woman gave no thought to the
matter. Presently the umbrella,
through the jolting Of the car, worked
Its way down, and without the knowl
edge Of either person. continued until
the handle slipped into the mans
pocket. There It rested until the man
started TO leave the car. Even then
neither Of the passengers noticed the
incident. but as he walked down the
aisle there was a general giggling to
be heard.
The conductor saw how matters
stood, and said
Excuse me, sir, Is that your UNI.
brella?"
The passenger looked at the UNI
brella, and with many stammers and
bushes, replied in the negative.
The conductor thereupon returned
It to the woman with the bundles.

did you get IT." she inquired.
"The gentleman who sat here car.

the conductor.

Poe's First Appearances.

The old dispute as TO where Edgar
Allan Poe was born appears to be
settled by his latest biographer, Prof,
Harrison states with emphasis that
he was born in Boston, Jan. 10, 1909.
His parents who were strolling ac.
tors, though his father was of excel
lent family, were playing in Boston
when little Edgar was born. AS Prof
Harrison facetlously puts It.:
at length a stop-in Boston-came
to the wanderlngs; January 10. 1909,
