Harvesting and Keeping
Sweet Potatoes.

Prot. w. F. Massey in Progress
sive Farmer.
When your sweet potato
vines are first nippei By frost,
they should be at once removed
even if not really 20 dig, for the
dead vines will be apt to damage
the roots if left att'ched. Dig
if possible when the soil is dry
and the weather bright and
warm. Do not throw the poia"
toes into heaps and bruise them
but lay them along The rows in
the sun all day, gathering up
before dew falls. Then do not
throw them into a wagon body
to be shovelled out, but pick
them up in baskets or crates
Slated crates, such as are used
for shipping vegetables in, are
good for this purpose, and if a
regular potato house is made for
the winter storage they can be
stored to advantage in the crat-
es.

Hog Notes..

For perfect comfort shelter
must be given along with LIBERAL
feeding.
Pigs cannot be pushed 100 fast
provided the right kind of food
is used.
Gradually increase the rations
ofthe pigs few day5before can
ing if they are to be kept gain
ing.
Not little O. The disease
among hogs is due to the disre
gard of their needs OF variety
OF foods.
Barley is chiefly valuable for
its muscle forming propensities
yielding very largely of both fat
and flesh
In many cases it is not the vi
cious SOW bat the stupid feeders
that makes a Gamble of the moth
er sow.
AS much as the breeding and
growing animals need exercise
for their prosperity, the hogs for
fattening nee d rest and quiet.
A hog with short nose and a
thick head, short legs and plenty
of heart and lung room is usual
ly quiet and good grower.
While the pig should never
be kept hungry he should be
kept so that he will come to tn {
trough with good appetite.
When a SOW proves to be {
good mother in all respects, keeI
her until she will breed no more
and save from her another breed
er.
Pigs often lack vigor because
the brood sow is kept too fat
A good thrifty condition is much
better for the hogs than too much
fat.
A pig that has been s'unted
in its early days for the want OF
su1iciency of food, will never
recover from it so as to give the
best results from feeding.
The eisecrets of profitable pork
consists in pushing the animal
when young so that it is early

on the ground This straw
should have been raked in dry
weather and kept under cover
so as to be perfectly dry at stor-

been grown from cuttings Of the
vines from the spring plants viii
keep better than the early ones.
Place the potatoes In heaps of

Then cover them thickly with

1T was voted to officially notify Albert W.
Findlay and Willard r. Scott that the
~latter's presence on any Yacht during any
