Keeping sweet Potatoes.

To keep well sweet potatoes should
be dug when the soil is quite dry and
lfterward spread thin to cure for ten
days at least in an outbuilding secure
from rain and frost. Road dust one
third of which is composed of fine sand
is best for packing in. Place layer OF
dust in the bottom of box or barrel or
whatever is used to pack in, then n
layer of potatoes, being careful to COW
er every potato completely with dust
before adding the next layer. The last
layer is dust. We keep sweet potatoes
in this manner all winter, and they
seem as fresh as when first packed.
We keep them in an outhouse until
severely cold weather, merely covering
the boxes with carpeting, etc. When
severe cold sets it they are removed to
a room where fire is kept part of the
day only Failure to keep well is often
due to too much heat or packing away
In too warm materials, says an Ohio
Farmer correspondent.

Advantages of n Soiling System.
Some of the advantages of a system
of soiling as set forth by the New Jer-
sey station are:
Three crops can be grown upon the
same acre in one season, as, for exam
pie, rye, oats and peas and corn, yield
ing total of twenty tons or more
With the perennial plant alfalfa, five
crops have been secured, with yield
of 26.6 tons of green forage per acre.
Yearly records have shown that from
three to four cows may be kept upon
an acre for six months, beginning May
1, the number depending upon the
character of the season.
Records for five years show the av-
erage yield of milk and butter per COW
during the six months when forage
crops were fed to be 3,423 pounds and
1927 pounds respectively. The average
percentage of fat in the milk was 4.32.
The same cows yielded an average of
3,050 pounds of milk and 1874 pounds
Of butter during the other six months
of the year when silage was fed. The
average percentage Of fat from the 81
age ration was 4.42.

NEW slLo NOTIONS.

The Concrete Si1o Thoroughly Prac-
ttcal-A Wire Fencing Frame.
Wire fencing has often been used to
bind a stave silo, and now its use as
the skeleton of a concrete silo is under
consideration. An American Cultivator
writer says:
The success Of round water tank of
concrete nodded on a framework Of
wire fencing led to IT, idea that such
structure built longer g. little
larger would make a good and cheap
silo. The plan was submitted to the
Wisconsin experiment station, where
the investigation of silo problems has
been SO extensive as to make it au-
thority in this line. Reply was re-
ceived as follows:
1t seems to me it would be perfectly
feasible to construct a cylindrical silo
Of concrete with stout wire fencing i'm
bedded as you suggest. | inspected
two silos few days since built on the
Morgan farm at Beloit, Wis, of con
crete with cement plaster lining, but
| having three-eighths inch rods laid in
sections around the silo at distances
varying from two feet apart near the
bottom to five feet apart near the top.
These silos have both been filled and
emptied so that there can be no ques-
ton regarding their strength. One was
! twenty-four feet in diameter and the
other thirty feet.
The concrete silo is a thoroughly
practical and permanent structure and
meets with only one objection so far as
l can see-namely, that it is a better
conductor of heat than wood and there
fore does not protect from freezing so
well as does a wooden silo. There is
also a tendency to collect some mois-
ture in the walls on warm days in the
spring, but this is not an inconvenience
and in the two cases mentioned did not
injure the silage in the least.
The action of the acid of the silage
on the cement l believe to have been
overestimated. l have seen cement
lined silos which have been filled eight
years, and the amount of loosening was
altogether immaterial, a thin cement
wash every three years being sufficient
to keep 1t in good repair,

F1exibility and Adaptability

The fiexibility and adaptability of
Christian Endeavor are not as gener-
ally appreciated as they should be.
They work in country church or city,
on the avenue or in the slums, in Amer
lea or Africa You can have three COM
mittees or thirty. You can take the
model pledge or write better one,
You can call it a pledge, covenant, a
declaration or anything else that suits
you. 1t is the idea, the ideal, not the
mere words, that is of value. You can
do anything with it that reasonable
church and pastor want to have done
1t is not a perpetual motor. 1t will
not run itself. 1t is a method, not a
machine. The quality of its work de-
pends upon the quality of its member
ship. For it's largest success it needs
the leadership of it's pastor, the sym
pathy of the church and the co-opera-
tion Of the home.-William Shaw.

tract the conductors attention, Final
ly he jumped up and gave the bell cord
a violent pull to stop the car. The con-
ductor was angry.
"See here" he yelled, "when you
want to get off this car you ask the
conductor"
The stout man slowly clambered
down on to the running board and
waited until the car had come to a full
stop. Then, turning to the conductor,
he said:
"Please, Mr.. Conductor, may 1 get

Celery Blanching and Late Keeping.
Where celery is intended for winter
use blanching may take place after the
crop has been removed from the field
and placed in storage. In fact, it is
best to blanch as little as possible be-
fore storing when the product is to be
kept late, as the keeping qualities are
better while 1t is unblanched.
