Washes Potatoes Before storing.

Mr.. Lewis Vim Wrinkle, one of the
largest potato growers in Northern
Michigan, recently gave, in the Chica-
go packer, his method of handling this
crop, from which we take the follow.
ing:
Il am a farmer plowing and work
ing 1000 acres of land, raising hogs.
cattle and horses and also hay. grain
and vegetables. For five years nave
washed all my potatoes and have new
er lost a bushel by rot after | had put
them away in the cellar. | dig with
Hoover digger and pick up the po-
tatoes as fast as they are dug They
are then hauled to a suitable rack for
washing, where a mill hose is turned
on them with forty pounds Of pressure,
in this way 100 bushels are washed
clean enough in ten minutes TO bake
of boil let them lie for few min
utes only. then pick them up in one
bushel crates, after which they stand
in the sun or wind for two or three
hours-long enough to dry nicely. The
potatoes are then packed away in a
cool. dry cellar, where they remain un'
I'll wanted for use or to sell.
II have found this to be the most
practical way to care for potatoes or
other roots. The potatoes, reing IN
bushel crates are ready TO sell by .he
load OF bushe and can be handled
very quickly and cheapIy No meas
urlng is necessary, no weighing re-
qured-already to sell, use or plant
The crates, if cared for, will last for
years. have put potatoes in bins Of
ten when they were a little wet or had
some defective ones among them and
In few weeks have had TO move and
sort thom. but since I have used crates
Tor potatoes and other roots I find that
when once put away the care and
trouble Is over and no further atten'
tion is necessary.
Il would recommend this method to
all farmers, large or small. All that
old fogyism OF storing potatoes with
dirt and mud on them is nonsense.
While we all know that potatoes win

them, / know they will keep II washed

important points Of difference. In the
first place, they do not, as a rule, pos

carry themselves with the grace and
ease that are so common with all
classes Of wom,p in this country. But
the particular distinction, after all, is

April % May Be Selected as Date

Washington, April 12.-The United
States supreme court today decided
that books published periodically are
not entitled to transmission through
the mails as second-class matter. The
opinion was delivered by Jus ce
Brown n covered three cases against
the postmaster general instituted re-
spectively by Houghton. Miflin & Co,
Smith and others. and Bates and Gil.
The chief justice and Justice Harlan
%dissented.
The question decided has been the
subject of long controversy between
the postoffice department and the pub
fishers, both before congress and in
the department. For sixteen years and
under eleven postmaster generals
these publications were carried as Sec
ond-class matter, though under protest
from the department and with many
efforts to have the law modified or re-
pealed, but without success Failure
in this, the postmaster general issued
an order in 1902 excluding the books
from the s~econd-class rate. Thereupon
the matter was taken to the courts,
the effect being that the postmaster
general was sustained by the final de-
cision as rendered today.

Number Of Old Men Between Green
River and Ogden and Other Points
Relieved from Duty, Thus Costing
Them All Rights Of Seniority
Railroad Notes and Personals.

AS a result of the reorganization
Of the operating department on the
Hartman roads. there have been wage
reductions which have caused a large
amount of discomfort among the EN-
p!oyes. says a Salt Lake special to the
Denver Republican. That portion of
the Union Pacific west of Green River,
Wyo., and all of the Southern Pacific
east of Wadsworth, New, were added
to the Oregon Short Line system a
few days ago. as far AS operation is
concerned.
one of the first results has been the
discharge OF every Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific employe on these por.
lions of the road, all being immediate
ly rehired. In a large majority of
cases salaries have been reduced 10
to so per cent. In every instance the
men thus re-employed have lost all
their seniority rights. Some employees
have been with the Southern Pacific
or Union Pacific over 20 years. They
have no more standing now than alb
SOlutely new men.

PRICE
OF SHEARING AT BUFFALO CAUS
ING SPLIT BETWEEN SHEAR
ERS AND OWNERS.
Former Demand Nine Cents Per Head
and Latter Insist on Eight as
Price-Lusk Man Quoted BY oma-
ha Paper in Very Optimistic Tone
About Outlook in His Section.

Quite a controversy has arisen be-
tween the woolgrowers and the sheep
%shearers in this vicinity, says the Buff.
falo Voice. 1t appears that the two
interests have disagreed on the price
to be paid for shearing this season,
and as a result the commencement OF
~shearing promises to be delayed.
Some two weeks ago a committee of
the woolgrowers met a like committee
representing the %shearers, at which
time it was agreed that the prices
which prevailed at Casper for shear
ing should also prevail in this county.
The committee representing the shear
ers wrote to Casper parties and were
informed that Casper woolgrowers had
agreed to pay nine cents per head.
The woolgrowers of this county wrote
to Hon. Pat Sullivan. president of the
association at Casper, and were told
by that gentleman that eight cents
per head would be the prevailing price
for shearing in that section the coming
season. In consequence of this mis-.
understanding and the refusal of the
woolSrowers to pay nine cents per
head. as demanded by the local shear
ers, a number of the latter are making
arrangements to leave this city soon
and expect to go to Casper district,
while others will depart for Montana.

w. l.. Magoon of Lusk, Wyo., is stop
ping at the Murray hotel. says the
Omaha Bee.
The sheep outlook up in our section
was never better than it has been this
winter or is now. We have lost no
sheep at all and actually have had
to kill old ewes to feed the dogs. There
will be about 14O. 600 head of sheep
shorn near Lusk in July, and the
tleeces thus far look in prime condi-
ton. We have had no trouble at all
with the cattlemen. as we all have
a few head of cattle of our own. The
cattle and sheep mems troubles exist
in the country over the range from us
to the northwest. But then it has not
been serious. 1t has been pretty dry
with us up there this winter. The
storm of a few days ago has not hurt
the sheep to mount to anything. A
big colony of Wisconsin people is COM
ing into the vicinity of Lusk this
spring. 1t is a sort of a Wisconsin
community up there. anyway. They
will mostly go into the cattle and sheep
business. 1t is not much of a farming
country right in that locality, though
along the river are some good irrigat-
ed tracts. Horses, sheep and cattle
are our mainstay and the range cannot
be beat"

Students and Vandalism.

Berkeley, Cal, April I'm a lee
ture on political economy at the Uni
versity of California, Prof. Bernard
Moses, who recently returned from the
Philippines. said that at a sorority
function he found peach blossoms from
his own orchard decorating the club
house. He went on:
81 saw branches of blossoms ten feet
long which had been torn from the
trees that | have been %cultivating for
twenty years. Some Of the trees have
been ruined by this vandalism. In al
the years l have been connected with
the university l have seen any
thing so barefaced."
Moses also scored the girls for leav
ing certain class rooms while the pro
fessor was speaking.
