Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

I read an article III your paper o. No
vember II, on keeping potatoes. And
l want to tell you how l keep mine. 4
neighbor has borrowed my paper and l
can't quote your words exactly, but
YOU said the moon has no effect upon
potatoes and that you had never tried
putting potatoes up in the o
Now that sounds quite sarcastic. You
can't make an old farmer believe that
the moon has no influence over regeta-
ton. The moon, I am told 1--WE not
seen it), causes the ebb and flow of the
ocean tides. If the moo has that
much influence over the ocean. why
does it have no influence over the
earth? 1t is a certain fact that corn
planted OH the light of the moon will
grow taller than that planted on the
dark Of the moon: and so it is with
many other things we grow; and l con-
tend that potatoes dug on the full
moor will keep better than when dug
on the new. I do not wait for frost
to kill the vines. l take them up when
the moon is right. The moon was full
last month October on the 10th. 1
took up a portion of my crop on the
18th and intended to take up the bal
ance on the next day, but it looked like
We would have rain and l went about
saving what l had taken up and left
the remainder to be taken up next full
moon. I knew 1 vas taking q great
risk, but rather than take them up
after the moon had fulled. | waited
for the full moon in November and l
took them up OH the 18th of November,
one day before the full moon. l put
my potatoes in hills about fifty bushels
10 the hill. I round them up and put
corr stalks rext 10 the potatoes. Then
] put a covering of pine leaves. or
wheat straw, or hay and cover with
dirt eight of ten inches or more. L
leave the TOP OF tie I'LL uncovered OF
dirt for a few days. y then l it
good all over. making it alright. l
then cover the hill with plank. leaving
il so the sun can strike it on the south
side. Now. Nj. Editor. l have fol-
lowed this plan for years and it is the
best way to keep potatoes that have
ever seer tried. If the potatoes do
not get frost-bitten, and the proper
care is exercised in ventilation while
they are going through the sweat.
they can be kept until June.-A. j.
Farmer, in Southern Cultivator.

Crushing Plant For Macndam Roads.

u oA'
The cities Of New England are wiser
in their day and generation than are
most other municipalities in the coun-
try. They make 4 dollar go further
than the average city. Economy and
prudence may have been inherited from
the Puritans, but whatever their source
the example is a good one to follow.
Authorities Of large and small munich
palities throughout New England for
years have been noted for their eco
nomical methods in the construction
and maintenance of streets and high
ways. More portable stone crushers
ard permanent plants built on a larger
scale win be found within New Eng
land territory than any other equal
area in the United States. In Connect
jcut and Massachusetts. particularly,
the highways have been greatly I'M
proved. For instance. the city Of New
ton has its own crushing plant, which
has been in operation for years. and as
q result not only are the streets Of the
city wen macadamized, but the roads
leading from the city are carefully I'M
proved. This is made possible by the
economical use Of this plant. There is
an abundance Of good trap rock in a
quarry not far from the limits of the
city. at which is installed al up-to-date
plant.
There is no public Improvement more
popular to-day than that connected
with the construction and maintenance
of a better highway system. The good
work is being pushed along by many
national. State and town good roads as
sociatiors. All classes Of people are
interested in the work. the rich and the
Door, the farmer and laborer. the bicy-
Gle rider and the one who walks; for all
alike can and do appreciate q well built
and maintained thoroughfare.
This movement means that the 1aTm-
or can transport his produce to market
over Il good road at less expense than
over q boo road. This is a fact which
is being repeatedly demonstrated, ana
n larger number of people are coming
TO recognize it as a good argument why
the roads should be improved. If II
benefits the farmer in this way it can
not fail to benefit every n who uses
the public highways. Therefore. every
municipality should promote the work
by investing in a stone crushing plant
adapted to its needs, to be used both
for the Improvement Of its streets ard
the main highways leading into 1t. a
better investment could not he made
