ADVANTAGE in the SjIo.

During the past fall, winter and
spring, feed was short over much of
the west. The spring was backward
and the grass did not get good start
till along into May. The farmers
were in many cases forced to feed
straw and like innutritious roughage,
much to the detriment of the milk
flow. This led many farmer to wish
that he had a good silo in which he
could carry feed from one year to the
next and thus be sure of good sup
ply at all times. This is good time
to prepare to build a silo. 1t is not
too late now to plant corn for silage
as this can be got into the silo before
killing frosts come. The corn for the
silage should be planted at once, so as
to be growing while the silo is being
built. The building of a silo is 6
short matter.

FARM WISDOM,

A debt enriches for a moment and
lmpoverishes for year.
Never eXplain-your friends do not
require it and your enemies will not
believe you anyway.
You can always tell good farm
hand by the way he works when the
farmer has gone to town.
There must be more of good than
evil in the world, or the good would
have been overcome ages ago.
Nine times out of ten, the fellow
who is let in on the ground floor falls
between the Orders and lands in the
cellar.
The summer has been trying both
to the flesh and to the spirit. Try
letting go of things for a week or
so, and you will be surprised to find,
when you return from your vacation
how much the atmosphere has cleared.
1t is a good thing to ease up 'on the
collar little.
Lots of times, when the weather is
warm, we are apt to get into a sweat
over our work. All right to sweat
outside-does man good; but when
we get to sweating inside, we are apt
to boil over, and that is where the
mischief comes in. Let's keep as cool
as we can-inside. Then we shall
live longer and be happier-Farm

STORING SEED POTATOES.
How the Tubers May Be Kept in
Splendid Condition.

If potatoes intended for seed are
placed in pits and properly covered,
they will come out in the spring with.
out a sprout; they will also be as
firm as when placed in the pits. This
condition certainly indicates that no
vitality has been lost.
Every sprout that starts on pc.
tato and is broken off removes just
so much vitality from the seed !
find that it Is necessary to dig the
pit more than six or eight inches deep.
That is just deep enough to get a
good, solid bottom, so that the pota.
toes can be shoveled up easily with
a potato scoop. Fifty to 100 bushels
may be put into one pit safely.
When the pit is full cover with
about eight inches of straw, then put
on eight inches of dirt. The third lay.
er should be another layer of straw
and then another layer of dirt. If
the temperature falls below zero for
a length of time, cover the pit with
stable manure. By following this
method, says a correspondent of Prai-
rie Farmer, / never have any potatoes
that spoil or have been injured in
any way.

FRUIT ALWAYS GOOD
MANY WAYS or SERVING THE
BLACKBERRY.
Has Valuable Medicinal Qualities, as
Nell as Being Always Appetizing
Makes Excellent Catsup
If Properly Prepared.

The good old blackberry has a
pedigree behind it and medicinal quail
sties recognized and appreciated by
ancients and moderns. While most
fruits are laxatives, the blackberry,
fruit, leaves and roots alike, is among
the NOSE valued astringents. Black
berry wine ranks high as tonic, con-
tanning as 1t does large amount of
iron. Blackberry cordial is one of the
most approved remedies in case of
dysentery; while jams and preserves
furnish a throat remedy that requires
no urging upon the patient From the
fresh young blackberry canes. thick
syrup is expressed, valuable for
throat, mouth and eye troubles. Made
into vinegar, the blackberry fur
nishes one of the most refreshing and
cooling of summer drinks
Blackberry vinegar.-To make the
vinegar, mash the berries to pulp
in an earthen or stoneware vessel.
Add good cider vinegar to cover well,
and stand in the sun during the day
and in the cellar over night, stirring
occasionally. The next morning strain
and add the same amount fresh ber-
ries. Crush and over the whole pour
the strained juice, and set in the sun
again through the day and the cellar
at night. The third day strain and to
each quart of the juice allow one pint
of water and five pounds sugar. Heat
slowly to the boiling point, skim, and
when il boils strain and bottle, seal
ing alright
Blackberry Catsup.-Cover mashed
berries Sith boiling water, simmer
is minutes, pr-ass again and strain.
Allow for each quart juice a half tea
spoonful each mace, cinnamon, pepper
and white mustard. Cook down to
about quarter of the original guam
tity, add vinegar (pure) to make
strength and consistency required,
then bottle and seal while hot.
Blackberry Jam.-Look over gal
Ion of blackberries, wash and drain.
Put in a preserving kettle, pour in a
pint of water and cook until soft, stir
ring and MASKING with wooden
spoon to break up the fruit. Take
care that it does not scorch. Take
from the fire and press through a wire
sieve into a stone jar. Do not use
tin. Stir this pulp thoroughly. Take
a quart of the pulp and put in ket-
tie with quart of sugar measured
light and previously heated in the
oven. Bring to boil, csok rapidly
for Is or 20 minutes, until it jellies
when dropped in cold saucer. Pour
into small jars and when cold seal.
Repeat the cooking with another
quart of the pulp until all has been
used. The jam is easier and better
prepared quart at time. 1t is a
good plan in hot weather to prepare
the berries one day, set away in the
cellar and make the jam in the cool
of the next morning.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York, June S.-The cotton mar
ket opened irregular at an advance
of 80 points to a decline of 1 point,
the big gain being on the July option
which was once more under the inf1d-
ence of covering by frightened shorts
and various rumors regarding a pos
sible corner in that position. The first
sale in July was at 1900 and that
position sold at 1926 on the call.
Later fluctuations were very Irregular
and there was heavy realizing for over
the holidays with the new crop rela-
lively easy, owing to favorable wealth
er in the south. Prices during the
middle of the morning were about 10
points net higher to 3 points lower.
After the early advance the cotton
market became quiet and the Juiv
option lost most of it's gain under
profit taking by short interests, the
price receded to u cents a pound. The
close was firm at a net advance Of l
to 7 points. Sales were estimated at
800, 900 bales.
