Storage Of Potatoes.

In a community that produces many
potatoes, storage house become a
necessity. Potatoes stored in an Or
binary storage room lose weight rap
Idly and soon become shriveled and a
poor quality. The underground stor-
age combines all the qualities for
keeping potatoes in the best condi-
| tion
| Possibly the most important re-
| quisite is to keep down the tempera-
ture of the cellar. These cellars should
be built lengthwise, with the currents
OF air SO that in the fall, when the
potatoes are put III, draft through
the cellar can be established at night
to carry off the heat brought with the
potatoes during the day. The prac-
tice Is to fill in the bins in layers Of
not more than one foot each day and
let this layer cool down during the
night. After the potatoes are all in,
the ventilation Is regulated SO that the
temperature is kept as near freezing
point as possible without freezing the
potatoes. This ventilation is neces-
sary, not only to regulate the tempera-
ture, but to keep the air pure and
dry. If the air becomes foul and
damp, molds will grow and dry rot
or Fusarium will develop. Many po-
tatoes are spoiled in the stores and
in the store rooms of dwellings. FIRE.
quently load of potatoes is taken to
a grocery and stored in an above
ground store room, where the air is
warm and the room light. 1t is thought
because the potatoes are in sacks or
barrels that they will keep until sold
out and used. Such is not the case,
however; very little light, especially
where the air is warm, will
make potatoes unfit for food in two
weeks.-From report of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

The Care of a Wagon.

The useful life of q wagon or dray
employed in heavy hauling depends
very largely on the care of its wheels
and axles.
Hosts of farmers and transfers, who
ought to know better, think that
grease is just grease anyway and SO
cut the boxes out of their wagon wheels
by using some inferior lubricant, which
runs off and leaves the spindle dry, or
forms stiff, almost gritty substance in
the wheel, which is just as bad.
A proper axle grease for use on
every type of heavy wagon should have
just the right body" that is it ought
to be neither SO thin as to run, nor
so heavy as to stiffen.
1t should have, too, a long-lasting
quality, if it is to be economical.-Am-
erican Cultivator.

Poultry Reminders.

Some very lucky poultry keepers
can't understand why bran or shorts
should be fed when the wheat Is OBJ.
tainable
The bran is bulkier, more filling,
even if not staying, and then 1t is
change. Variety is necessary in feed
ing poultry.
When you are cross from waiting on
your meals, think how often the poul-
try waits upon your pleasure before
getting their meals.
Think of the poultry when you relish
the fresh drink of water, and see that
they may Quench their thirst without
eating Ice or snow.
Again the bran may be mixed with
the table scraps, the meat broth or
milk, while the wheat could not be
used to such good advantage
All these things should be attended
to for humanitys sake, but also for
the profit that will be derived if the
fowls are well and intelligently cared
for.
When uncomfortable from any cause
think how you feel, and whether 1t Is
not in your power to make the poultry
and other dependents more comfort
able.
All in all, bran is good thing to
use as an occasional poultry feed. It
is said to be good corrective for
some forms of indigestion.-E. c.. in
the Indiana Farmer.
When drafts enter around the win
dows and doors, causing you to shiv-
er, think of the cracks in the poultry
house, and remember them with build
ing paper or other good draft stop
pers.
When bathing think of the poultry,
and give them fresh dust bath of !,
warm sifted coal ashes or warmed dust
When using your teeth, think of the
hens, poor things that have none and /
provide sharp grit for them.

large furniture house in this country

firm to unEcrew the small brass knobs
which adorned the ironwork. The
shipping clerk for the firm, when he
read the instructions, assumed, ap-
parently, that the Mexican was crazy
and neglected to comply with the re-
quest. Consequently, when the bed
was delivered to the Mexican he had
to pay the same price for 1t as If it
had been constructed entirely of brass.

soil, bores it. The ordinary plowshare
is replaced by paid of augur-like
screws which precede the machine and
are rotated in opposite directions with
respect to each other as the machine
moves forward. The machine is run
by gasoline motor and is self-pro-
polling. 1t is claimed to possess GER
tain advantages in giving the soil
more thorough stirring than is posi-
BILE with the ordinary plow. In a ten
hour day it is claimed that 2.5 acres
may be~ plowed to a depth of eight
inches in compast soil at total ex-
pense of about "a, with gasoline at

Care of the Harness.

There is nothing like leather" But
there is nothing like knowing how To
keep your leather goods In fine condi-
tion, too. Leather is composed of a
mass of fine tendrils, intimately in
terlocked and entwined When in good.
pliable condition, each tendril is cap
able OF much stretching, says the
Prairie Farmer.
| 1t allowed to became dry and hard,
when the leather is subjected to a Sc
we're pull, the tendrils break instead
OF stretching. But this does not mean
that leather boots or harness should
be kept soaked with oil or dressing.
Elbow grease applied in quantity is
better.
"All dressings should be applied
sparfngly," is the sound advice of
big saddlery concern. Black oil should
always be used on black harness and
not neatsfoot oil, as the latter will
draw out the black dye and leave the
harness brown. The black harness
fats now on the market, make excel
lent farm harness dressing. They con-
tain the "nourishment'' necessary for
keeping the harness in good order.
But first all dirt should be washed
off with lukewarm water and ordinary
soap. The black fat should then be
applied with cloth, given short time
to penetrate the leather, and then
rubbed dry with another cloth.
Some make the mistake of oiling
without unbuckling the harness. The
parts that need nournishment most are
under the buckles, where the metal
causes hardness and brittleness. II
people would vary the holes of the
harness occasionally it would last
much Longer.
An objection to neatsfoot oil is that
1t inclines to wash off the beeswax
from the stitches, leaving the bare
thread, which then soon breaks,-Am-
