STORING SWEET POTATOES.
A Suitable Building and Good Care
Are Requisite to Success.

If possible dig the potatoes on a
sunshiny day. Leave them in the
windrow till afternoon, then remove
them to the dry house and place them
on the racks. Care should be taken
that they do not touch on the rack
A house 40x1o0 feet will hold 1000
bushels. The racks should be five
inches apart all around the house as
shown in the cut. If the potatoes are
small you can have the racks nearer
together. The object is not to have
the potatoes touch. They always go
through a sweat, and will soon decay
if they touch each other
The stove should be in the center
of the building. Keep a moderate fire
until they are thoroughly dry, then

ORCHARD NOTES.

In the adoption of the box as a ship
ping package, Pacific coast apple
growers are leading other parts of the
country-and those growers obtain
good prices for their fruit.
If the trash and decayed fruit are
aot removed, the left overs" of slugs
borers and other animated orchard
pests, which are preparing to go into
winter quarters, will be on hand next
spring lively and ready for business
1t is usually a safe plan to beware
of the travelling orchard doctor who
offers for sale farm and county
rights" to make and use his ''killem
all" nostrums. If there is merit in his
commodity he can reach the fruit
growers in better and more honor
able way.

Modern Sweet Potato House.

remove from the racks and pack in
boxes or bins. Put in a layer of
shavings, then a layer of potatoes so
they will not touch, then enough shaw
ings to cover them well and so on un-
til you have packed them all. Then
remove to a place secure from frost.
If you have dry cellar they can
be placed in it. The essential thing
in keeping sweet potatoes is dryness.
If you wish to keep just a few you
can dry them and wrap them in pa
per separately and lay in a box.
When ready to ship pack in ventf-
lated barrels. Fill the barrels round
ing full, put cover on and screw on
the top so there will be no chance for
the potatoes to move in the barrel.
They are packed in the barrels just
as you would pack apples for ship
ping.

.vcon AND Flavor I'M APPLES
Apples from Cultivated Orchards
Bring Best Price.

1t is claimed by some that apples
from uncultivated orchards are more
highly colored, have high flavor, are
firmer and keep better
On the other hand, these apples are
usually smaller, and statistics recent
ly compiled by the Cornell university
show that the apples from cultivated
orchards sold for a slightly higher
price per bushel during the. past five
years than did those from the or
chards that were not cultivated. That
is to say, the extra size of the apples
from the cultivated orchards more
than compensated for whatever differ
ence in color, flavor or firmness there
may have been.

itself with excavations of tombs in
Nubia The greatest part of the OBJ

on exhibit in the museum of the uni

The description of the construction
of the Nubian tombs formed a large
part of the lecture. 1t was the third
exploration of the ruins, so that the
expedition got what the lecturer called
the leavings of the two previous exca-
vations Nevertheless, some unique
finds in pottery and bronze were made
Some pieces were especially com
mented on as being probable parent
suggestions of Byzantine art. There
were inscriptions on the tombs which
are being deciphered here and in Ber-
lin and Oxford.
The combination of bird and human
heads in the decorations testified to
the faith in Immortality of the soul
Jugs full of things to eat and drink
were found with the skeletons. Scores
of the faces of the dead carved Oh
the tombs suggested as many person
alities as a cartoonist of the present
day could need to invent for any pur,
