Dust the hen well before setting her.
Make this the banner year for chicks
Keep the coops and nests clean.
Be sure to set the hen in a warm
place.
Keep small grit constantly Within
reach.
The fresher the egg the better the
hatch.
There are no positive non-setting
breeds.
Sprinkle insec, powder in the nests
every week.
Leave the hen with hel young SO

Harvesting and Keeping Sweet fo'huoee'
GUY c. Bell. Of Knoxville, Eastern
Tennessee, says. In Er stern Tenlles-
see we give the potatocsias much time
as possible to grow and perfect them-
selves, SO We generally wait till ABOUT
the FIRST frost to begin digging Use
n good turning pillow, run it between
the ridges so as to cut the vines with
the share. After the ridges have been.
turned, use fork hoes in raking the
potatoes out of the dirt Break from
vines, and lay the potatoes from three
rows together Place them in boxes
with as much care rs possible. Haul
ing TO the cellar we use a platform
he'd made of thin boards fifteen feet
long. This keeps the potatoes IN a
springy motion and prevents them
from being bruised.
We never allow potatoes TO stay IN
the field over night, The cool air chlilS
them and Injuries them for market.
The vines should never be removed
from tho ground. as we consider them
one Of the best Of fertilizers. To keep
sweet potatoes through winter, dig n
cellar about six feet deep under some
huilding. A barn is preferred, espe-
clally when it has floor which VIII
serve as n close cover, Pour the pota'
toes four or five deep in the cellar,
leaving one or two feet Of space De-
tween them and the cellar cover
Keep the cellar well ventilated until
cold weather Cover the floor over
them with hay or sawdust so MS TO
make the cellar MS near alright as
possible. The cellar must he kept at
temperature Of forty-eight to nifty
eight degrees. Never allow the TEN
perature siSty-fve degrees ms the po'
tatoes will sprout. The cellar should
be tested every day Never cover
the potatoes with dirt, sand, fodder
or anything else inside, rs it is liable
to cause them 10 rot. In the spring
the potatoes will be found as perfect
rs when they were dug. Two years
ago we put up 1000 bushels, In all Of
twenty years past we have had no serl
Gus loss. We always have potatoes
to use the year round.

"It's too blamed easy" objected the

The hour was midnight. The place
was Broadway and Eighth street. The
clock in Grace Church changed out the
midnight hour. The last reverberation
had reluctantly died away when a tall,
red-headed man walked up to the cor
ner and sneezed. Instantly a strange
thing happened, A posse Of revenge
ful citizens pounced out from neigh
boring doorways and seized this tall,
sneezing, red-hcNded man.
'We'yo got you" they cried.
The tall man struggled nightly and
loudly called the company's attention

FEED IS LOWER.
Owners of Horses Think Board Should
 Be Low cred.

Owners of Horses Think Board Should
 Be Low
 Some of the owners ot horses about town think proprietors of teed stables ought to reduce the price for board CTS now, seeing that the price of oats and other things is much less than it was a year ago. At the present time man pays $22.50 for a horse ill a boarding stable, and this was all the proprietors charged when feed was considerably higher than it is this win ter. Of course, this is horseman's view Of the situation; but the owners of stables cannot see things that way. They say that while oats are selling to- day for AS cents bashel as against 56 per bushel year ago this time, there is no change in the price of hay and straw. Bran is 25 cents a bag less than it was last winter, but other things that enter into the care of a horse have not changed, so that the cost to the proprietors is very little less than ever. The proprietors claim that there is very small margin of profit in the business at the price they are charging and that instead of coming down they feel that in the near future ] man will pay more for his horse at the boarding stables. It 1s admitted that a person who has barn and at tends to his own horse can keep the l animal cheaper now than he could some time ago, but dealers take the ground that owing to the high rate of rents and the difficulty in securing goo6 help they cannot afford to make any reduction, at the present time. This does not look encouraging for owners I of horses. who have them boarding. out If they want to reduce theip expense. they will have to rent barns and bu, their own feed.
