of Kidding the streets of snow and turn

SWEET POTATO CROP.
II Proper Cnre Ii Exercised II Can He
Stored and Kept Successfully
for a Long Time.

Sweet potatoes can be stored and
carefully observed First they must
be dug when the soil is as dry as pos
sible; next they must be very carefully
handled all the time. and third, they
must be very carefully stored. No cut
or bruised potatoes should ever be
stored They should not be thrown
into heaps when they are dug, but left
to lie along the rows and dry in the
sunshine. They should not be thrown
into wagon body, but packed care
fully into baskets or boxes. If they
are to be stored for market. n special
ly prepared house Is necessary. a
width OF 10 feet Is best with a length
according to the needed capacity. The
walls should be doubled and Wrll
packed with sawdust. The house
should have n ceiling, a loft and a
span roof and the loft should be-
packed with straw. Above the roof
there should be a protected ventlator
which can be opened or closed There
should be a passage through the cen
ter, with slated shelves arranged on
both sides. A good heating appara
tus must be provided In the south
three or four oil stoves will do for
this; but in the north the best ar
rangement Is n good brick furnace ut
the end with a large sheetiron lluo
passing overhead through the house
After the potatoes are stored. the tom
perature should be raised to about 81
degrees for several days, till the 20
tatoes are through heating and have
dried of After that the temperature
should be kept not lower than 80 de-
grees nor higher than SO degrees The

RETAINS LEADERSHIP.
Senator Plat Succeeds in Arrang-
ing His Difficulties with
Gov Odell.

New York. March 21.-At confer
ance held Sunday afternoon between Sen
ator Thomas G.. Plat, Gov. Odell, Col.
Dunn, chairman of the republican
state committee, and many other prom
lnent republicans, after full exchange
of views and statements by Senator
Plat and Gov. Odell, It was unanimously
agreed that Senator Plat should re-
main. as he has been in the past the
active leader Of the party.
The result Of the conference was gen.
orally interpreted as being equivalent to
a complete settlement of all the points at
issue between Gov. Odell and Senator
Plat, the basis of the compact being the
acceptance by the governor of the offer
of the craftsmanship of the state com
mittee. This is said to have been the
point for which the governor was con-
tending. and in return for the conces-
sion he willingly conceded allegiance
to Senator Plat as the recognized leader
of the republican organization of the
state
