How to Keep Sweet Potatoes.

A good and cheap way to keen
sweet potatoes or pumpkins is to build
a cellar near your hearth, under the
floor, either of wood. stone or brick.

thick as you wish. If water does not
rise in the cellar you can dig down
to get it as deep as you want. Build
any size. My cellar is 5 feet wide
IL feet long, about feet deep, ana
holds about 80 or 40 bushels. Cellar
can be built to hold more, if one de-
sires TO, say so or 100 bushels. Mine
is built with 2x5 scantlings for studs
then ceiled on both sides and stuffed
with dry saWdust. This is Il very cheap
way. Anyone can build it, With the
thermometer 16 above zero | have had
no trouble thus far to keep the po-
tatoes all right When very cold cover
with some old carpet or quilt There
is more danger of getting too hot than
too cold in such Il place. Our fathers
and mothers used to put dry sand or
dirt over them when storing them
away. 1t is a good way. Dig after Z
slight frost and put up the same lay.
Do not let them get too hot, but give
plenty of air for a month or two. AL
ways handle with care.-F. l.. Spoon,

Why Not, Indeed?
(By Maurice Sniley.)

:
II more than one house are called
houses
And more than one mouse are mice
Then why are two mice rot mOuScs
And why are two houses not hice?
If q letter is sent and it goes
And we know it went when it's gone,
Why hasn't it sent when it SHOWS
Or the money we spent been spone?
If the zine that clings never changed,
But the joke that we sprirg is
sprung,
Why isn't the bell that we ring ranged
Or the door that is banged shut
burg?
A word that we speak is spoken,
Why don't we say it is spake?
Cur girl, when d pitcher is broken,
Zach, Louis" she says, cit is
break"
If we lie when we say that we laid
And we lay when we said that we
lied,
Why don't we speak of the needles we
played
Or tell of the pieces we Piled?
A fish that we catch isn't catched,
And the roof that we thatch isn't
thaught.
Why don't we speak of thought that
was matched
Or hear of an egg that was Taught?
If a picture that's hung isn't hanged.
But the man who is hanged isn't hung.
Why isn't the song that we sing
Sanged
OR any old thing ever thuEg2
