Talas of a Traveller.


Once there was q Boston man who
went on a journey of exploration to
central Africa.
He was captured by warriors Of a
native tribe and borne away to their
village in the heart of a dense forest.
He remained in captivity twenty
years.
AT last he made his escape, and after
undergoing many hardships succeed
ed in reaching the coast, where the
captain of a ship took pity on him and
gave him free passage to Boston.
On arriving at his old home he was
received as one risen from the dead.
Bring me a copy of my favorite pa
per, the Boston Traveller" he said af-
ter the greetings were over.
They brought him a copy.
why, this isn't it," he exclaimed
as he looked it over and noted it's great
black headlines, it's cartoons, its IL
Illustrated sporting page, and its loud
scream in every column. This is not
the Boston Traveller. This is the Trav-
eler with one H. What has become
of my old favorte paper?"
This is it," they assured him.
Rising unsteadily to his feet, he
grabbed his hat, rushed from the
house, and started back at once for
central Africa.
The shock was more than he could
stand.

STORING

Their is no II article of food save
flour that We depend upon more than
potatoes. Really good potatoes go a
long way toward supplying a family's
needs. 1t is quite important that they
be so dug and stored away that they
be as free from dirt as possible and
keep sound without sprouting until the
next summer. First, potatoes should
be dug when ripe and not be allowed
to- lie in the ground for weeks or until
about the time that it freezes, as is
too often the practice. Dig when the
ground is moderately dry if possible
SO that the earth will not stick to- the
tubers. While they may not keep any
better for being clean they will certain
ly be more convenient for the house
wife to use than those plastered with
mud and it will cost nc more save
a little fOrethought. / never like to
dig potatoes in wet weather, but when
the job is delayed until late one can
no longer choose his time, as it is now
or never A little care exercised in
keeping them free from trash gives
the bin a much better appearance and
costs practically no more.
Early potatoes put in shallow pits
and lightly covered with straw and
earth until winter will winter slightly
better than when put direct into the
cellar, but who has the time for this
extra work? Put them direct into a
cool dark cellar in small bins SO ar
ranged that they have a good circula-
ton of air from underneath and on
both sides; they keep well and it
saves much labor. 1t is quite neces-
sary that the cellar where stored be
kept quite dark and well aired. 1t is
especially necessary that the bin be SO
arranged hat the air car circulate un-
derneath. Some years ago we stored
away about 600 bushels Of potatoes.
About 500 bushels of these were stored
in a bin up from the cellar floor where
the air could circulate underneath. The
remainder were put in a bin with the
ellar floor for the bottom. Along about
February those resting OF the ground
floor began to sprout and by April they
were nearly grown together. Those
in the larger bin up from the floor kept
sound without %sprouting until sold in
April. The potatoes were all OF II
variety stored at the same time. Ven
tilation of the bin saved one and lack
of ventilation ruined the other. Light
will turn them green in color, and af-
feet the flavor IS well.-South Dakota

FRIEND OF THE FARMERS WIFE.

The farmers wife will o feel that
there is one man in the country who
understands her position and he is
the highest in authority. says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Farmers wives grow
old before their time and farmers
daughters can not help but notice it
and dread to follow their mothers
footsteps. IF you have to drop some
one, drop one hired hand rather than
the hired girl" said the president.
The advice is good, but the trouble
is to get the one hired girl in the
first place. The distaste of domestics
for country life and especially life on
a farm has greatly intensified rural
problems and that as much as any
thing has helped to depOpulate the
rural sections. The housewife of to-
day is thus in worse plight than she
was forty years ago. We believe this
is a transition period and that a rene
dy will be found, though as yet 1t Is
not plainly In sight. Leisure. recrea-
ton, social intercourse are the right
and need of country mothers and
daughters, and not until some way
of securing these I'm reasonable meas
ure Is found will the farm problem
be solved.
