A number of attempts have benn
made to build up an industry for the
production and sale of desiccated
sweet potatoes and sweet-potato -four.
There is doubtless a great field for
this class of goods. especially for
expert and for ship supplies.
Used for Stock Food.
The vines of the sweet potato when
properly cured make a medium grade
of hay for feeding to cattle and sheep.
In the green state the vines are
eaten by sheep, cattle, and hogs, but
their feeding value is comparatively
small. The potatoes are fairly we'll
adapted to feeding to range cattle,
sheep, and hogs, although their nutri-
tive value is quite low and they re-
quire the addition of cotton-seed meal
or grain to make balanced ration.
On farms where sweet potatoes are
grown extensively the culls are fed
to hogs, tighter with one-third or
one-half ration of corn.
By employing one of the heavy
yielding varieties of sweet potatoes,
such as the Southern Queen or the
Bermuda Red, and drying and pull
verifying them, splendid stock food
may be produced, especially when
sufficient grain is added to form a
balanced ration.
The principal uses of sweet pota-
toes are, however, for the table, and
the demand for this purpose is rapidly
increasing
Use for Production of Alcohol.
The starch and sugar content of
sweet potatoes varies considerably
in different varieties, but as a rule
they contain about 16 per cent of
starch and per cent of sugar. max
ing a total of 20 per cent of alcohol
producing material. It is possible
that sweet potatoes will become one
of the chief sources of denatured
alcohol in the United States, but at
present the methods of manufacture
have not been sufficiently perfected
to warrant their use for this purpose
on farm or community basis.

English HOLIDAYS.

A diversion which hardly exists In
America, but which still holds its own
in England, is the walking or bicycling
tour. England is not country given to
sudden crazes in the matter OF sports.
There are seasons, of course, in which
some game like ping-pong or diabolo
carries everything before 1t for the mo-
ment and is then as suddenly dropped.
But, on the whole, q sport that has once
become popular in England remains so.
Bicycling Is case In point. My Ameri-
can friends are astounded to hear that
more cycles are being sold In England
than ever. They are not perhaps a.
fashionable as they once were, and the
days when cycling in Battersea Park
competed with riding in Rotten Row
have long gone by. But as the vehicle
of the masses the cycle still predominates,
and the whole country is a network of
cycling clubs whose members organize
successive tours of fortnight or three
weeks throughout the summer months.
The English again have always been
great pedestrians, and many thousands
OF them devote their vacation to tramp
ing the Welsh hills or the lake district
or Devonshire or some other of the al
most countless regions that in England
offer one q combination Of faultless
roads, beautiful scenery, and historic
associations. Touring by caravan is not
su popular pastime, but is still not un-
common, and those who once take to it
declare that 1t knocks all other forms of
holiday making on the head. And be-
sides all this there are the joys Of motor
ing for those who can afford them, while
even tenth.rate resort boasts its golf
links, its tennis courts, and its cricket
club.-Harper's Weekly.

..sInklnxn = Nine Shaft.

Mining engineers have performed An
ingenious and gratifying feat In literally
"sinking'' . mine shaft near Wilkes
Barre, Pa. In an article in Popular
Mechanics VIM. @. Richardson describes
the construction a. follows:
IA shaft wall or caisson Of reinforced
concrete Is being built above ground and
allowed to sink by its own weight
through the soft soil, in which are layers
of gravel, quicksand and clay, until solid
rock Is struck some 30 feet below. When
the rock is reached 1t will be quarried
out In the usual way, and, should not the
cutting shoe find Q level resting place, 1t
will be blocked up and all the interstices
poured full of cement to form water.
tight joint. The total depth Of the shaft
as now contemplated, will be 800 feet.
"In sinking the shaft, the first opera
ton was to construct q steel cutting
shoe, oblong In shape, SO feet six inches
by % feet. It's outer extremity was Of
one-half inch steel, about 80 inches high.
To the inside of this, about eight inches
from the bottom, was riveted Q half-inch
steel horizontal plate, two feet wide, to
act az shelf for the concrete, which
tapers from a width Of "a inches at the
bottom to seven inches at the top.
"First pit, 10 feet In depth, was dug,
into which the cutting shoe was placed,
the bottom of the pit being made per-
fectly level to receive it. The molds or
forms for the concrete were erected on
the shelf within the shoe and the walls
built in the customary manner to .
height of 20 feet. When these became
sufficiently hardened the earth was dug
away from within the shoe, and as the
excavation progressed the weight of the
walls forced the steel cutting edge grad
ually downward. By placing the molds
on top of the hardened walls and repeat
ing the operation, the cutting shoe has
been driven down until it is expected
that the entire shaft will be completed
in time for coal to be mined next win
ter.
"In all, some 5000 cubic yards Of con-
crete and 145 tons of reinforcing steel
will be used in the walls, which will be
carried up 10 or 20 feet above ground, so
that, even when the surrounding fields
are under water there will be no danger
of the river entering the shaft.
"When completed, the shaft will be
divided into three sections, the first to
accommodate two cages for hoisting
coal, the second for a pump and ladder
way, and the third for an upcast airway.
1t is estimated that the cost Of the
shaft will be $3.50, 900, of which the con-
crete work will cost about $75, 600. Two
powerful ventilating fans, each with q
capacity of $4,000 cubic feet OF air per
minute, will be installed, one for regular
use and the other for emergency cases.
