A Cave for storing Apples.

For storing fruit on the farm nothing
can equal good cave. One of the
leading orchardists in southwestern
Iowa built cave seven years ago, and
has found it al. excellent place in which
to store apples. The cave was dug into
a north hill slope and the dirt removed
with a spade and wheelbarrow. 1t is
1G feet wide by 80 feet deep and VIII
hold two carloads of apples. The clay
walls need nothing TO hold them in
place.
The roof is made of bridge plank,
held in place by posts along the sides.
The plank are covered with dirt and
sodded over TO turn the rain. Two
12-inch tiles at the top provide yentila-
ton. Rats have not bothered much.
\ few got in, but were caught with a
wire trap. A fruithouse 16 by 20 feet
is built in front Of the cave. Double
doors open on the north so that two
wagons can be backed In for unload
ing. There Is an orchard and timber on
the south, so that hot south winds have
no chance to enter this cave. Apples
are stored in barrels, which are kept
off the ground.-American Agricultur-

Profit Comes Slowly.

The profit from farming comes in
slowly, and several years may elapse
before the farmer is aware that his
farm pays. This is due to the fact
that fertility in the soil is cumulative,
the results of the first year being but
little apparently, though every year
thereafter the farm win increase in
productive capacity. The system of
farming practiced will also influence
the future of the farm. Where stock is
speciality the results are nearly al
ways excellent. and rotation of crops
aids in giving a profit, but the largest
gain is " hen the farmer uses fertilizers
liberally and gives his attention to the
preservation of he manure produced
on the farm

Feeding of Soft Corn.

There is very little difference in feed
irs value of the dry matter of soft, or
thoroughly ripened corn, pound for
pound, but it requires about % per
cent more soft corn to make an even
amount of dry matter. OF course the
same amount of cob is necessary TO
grow soft ear that is required to grow
good ear. A good deal Of soft corn
is musty. This may or may not be in
furious to stock 1T Is better to use
caution in feeding soft corn until its
effect on the animals eating it is deter
mined. Ordinarily there is very little
trouble from this source, but specific
cases of stomach trouble have been
traced to damaged or moldy corn. As
there is so much of this class of stock
food in the country this year, it is bet
ter to go slow-Henry Payne, in Farm

How TO Grow Peanuts.

Pillow your land early in spring, ana
about the 9th or 10th Of May cross
break, harrow, lay your rows off 2S
inches each way, put two kernels in a
place, cover lightly with shovel plow,
and in four or five days put another
furrow on and drag off Be careful
not to touch the peanuts; cultivate as
level as possible with small plow. You
can pillow both ways; keep The vines
uncovered and let them grow as fast
as possible. Wren they go to bloom
ing, never mind The bloom; just let it
alone, it doesn't have anything to do
with the peanut Don't go to the trou-
BILE that | have heard of to cover the
gloom up.
In the fall, before frost when your
peanut vines look matured and you
know the nuts are matured. take a
No. 10 or 20 chilled pillow. take the
wing off and you can pillow them up
without leaving too much dirt on vine.
Run once or twice to the row; if your
vines are small. once will do, but If
large you will find IT, best TO run
twice. Take a four-pronged pitchfork.
raise the vines up and shake the dirt
off, and let 1t back; shake them up in
the morning and stack in the after
noon. Now comes the particular part.
Get your stack poles about feet long,
small poles. sharpen each end, Jab
it in the ground good and firm and lay
some chunks, split pieces or anything
else that Is handy around. 1t Is hard
to stack them without molding or turn
ing blact unless you understand 1t.
Pick the vine up by the root, let the
root pass the pole; every time you put
up a vine. or vines, let the roots pass
the pole, and so on until the stack is
finished Take a nice bunch of grass
and cap your stack. When they have
stayed in stack four or five weeks
they are ready to pick and sack and
will keep in any quantity. - ]. w.

aud so They Ache.
Those who suffer habitually from
tired and aching feet may be glad to
know that there are many ways in
which this condition of things may be
.a'leviated. Reference is not now made
to the more serious troubles, such as
fiat foot, or to corns or bunioHs. IL
il perfectly obvious why these pests
should cause pain and trouble, and
whenever they occur they should at
once receive professional treatment.
These words are for those people who
say, There Is nothing the matter with
my feet; / have not corn, and yet
i am in agony If / try to use my
feet much.'
This condition of things may be
brought about in several ways. 1t
may be caused by a equity condition
of the system. and in such case all
wine or beer-drinking should be stop
ped; the diet should be simple and
even frugal for a time, and several
doses of bicarbonate of sodium may
coffee spoonful in water, says the
Youths COMPANION.
Sometimes aching feet mean that the
weight of the body is too much for
a naturally slender foot and ankle,
and then shoe should be chosen with
a view to the more complete support
of these members. 1t need not be said
that rubbers should never be worn n
moment longer than is necessary, and
never in the house. as they check ven
tilation An aching foot is often a
Loot simply painting for breath. For
the same reason patent leather shoes
may cause much distress. House shoes
should be easy and well ventilated, and
it is we'll, IL possible. to adopt the
sandal Tor house wear.
If foo is aching or smartlng badly
after mucl walking or standing, greai
relief may be obtained by plunglng il
for few minutes In hot water il
which has been dissolved a handful oil
salt Then, with the feet still inn
mersed, let the water be gradually
cooled until 1t is quite cold. This
treatment is also greatly helped by

water.

Potatoes are the most expensive of
all the staple foods. They contain
from 100 TO 800 pounds of water in
every 1000 pounds, the solid matter
being mostly starch. The farmer also
finds the Iotato crop one of the most
ekacting in its requirements of labor.
one of the greatest obstacles being
warfare against beetles and diseases.
At present prices potatoes are more
expensive than beef considering the
actual proportion of nutritious mat
ter contained, but it is only when
prices are high that the potato crop
is very profitable. owing to the ex-
penses necessary for its cultivation.
