THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

The great danger ill the rapid growth of clty such as ours is that so much energy and sustenance goes to its upbuilding that the work of rounding out and beautifying is often sadly neglected. A town in it's period of rapid growth IS apt to resemble in its outlines the youth who shoots upward at the rate of head year without filling out proportionately. In appear ance, he IS unganly and awkward He has ma tured in height without getting his destined share of breadth and soidity. A city grows very much as the youth does It emphasizes

CARE OF SWEET POTATOES.
Must Be Kept Absolutely Dry and
Warm. rs Slight Frost Or Even Very
Colo Weather Will lniure Them
Cellar Bad Place for Storage.
(By III. L. GrinStea1.)

The storigg of sweet potatoes for
winter is by no means 50 simple a
matter as the proper care of Irish
potatoes. while different methods pre-
vail in the north and south.
The harvesting machinery is similar
except that the most improved potato
diggers are not adapted to the har"
yesting of the sweet potato. since the
vines would interfere.
The kind generally used is the regu-
lar two-horse pillow digger, with two
rolling cutters to cut the vines on
either.
The potatoes are not injured by ly-
ing in the sun. but should be removed
to thes forage room the same day they
are dug.
The essential difference in the stor-
ing Of sweet potatoes n the Irish
potato arises from the fact that a
sweet potato must be kept both dry
and warm.
1t is a simple matter to bury Irish
potatoes in q bank where they will
keep all winter, but a specially con-
structed storage place must be made
for the sweet potato.
In the south and even as far north
as issouri they may be kept in a we'll
ventilated pit. which can be kept dry
by covering with boards or other
roofing.
Select q well-drained place, scrap
away sufficient dirt to level the ground,
then dig two trenches across the place
from six inches to a foot deep, n
the ground should lay so thai water
will not run into nor stand in them.
Cover the trenches with pieces OF
boards, spread a little straw or dry
litter over the ground and pile the po-
tatoes thereon in the shape Of a cone
around the ventilator fiue, which con-
sists Of four pieces Of 4 by inch board
nailed in the form of q box and set
over the point where the trenches
cross, extending up through the heap
Of potatoes and out at the top.
When the heap Of potatoes has been
completed cover with straw or leaves,
then add five or six inches Of dirt or
sufficient to keep out frost.
Care must be taken to keep both the
trenches and ventilator open till it is
necessary to cover them during a Sc
we're cold spell when they are covered
with something like an old arpet,
which should be removed on days
when the weather will permit.
In the north. where the ground re-
mains frozen for several months. this
plan would not answer. but they may
be kept in a w~ell-yentilated cellar if

ideol place for storing sweet potatoes.
the accumulation OF moisture being
too great. y frcst-proof building that
may be gept dry is much better. Such
q building should be constructed OF
brick or stone and lined with wood,
with a space, which insures
a dry wall. Where only a few are 10
be kept for home use no better or
cheaper way can be found than to
store them in barrels or boxes OF dry
sand or Dad dust and keep them in a
warm room. or rather in a room where
they viii not freeze. 1t is possible, OF
course TO keep them too warm.
Potatoes kept in dry dust and not
allowed to freeze may be kept for seed
with very little loss.
1t must be remembered that the
sweet potato viii surely rot if ex-
posed to frost, even though they do
be kept dry and where the air circu-
lateS freely. When these conditions
are complied with YOU will have no
trouble in keeping sweet potatoes in
any latitude.
For best results probably n temper
allure of about @ degrees, yaryinL
through a range Of ten to twenty de-
grees, will be found best. and where
the proper building may be had his
temperature can be maintained easily.

Successful Hog Raising.

Hogs require a dry, WGcrl shelter,
freef rom drafts every night, both sum-
mer and Ninter. The beginner in hog
raising should start with cheap shell
ter, and not put up any large build
ings until he can do so from the profits
of his hogs. Usually, after he has
earned the business. he will not want
large buildings. The shelter should
be warm, light and dry, free from
draughts, but well ventilated and easy
to disinfect III case of disease.
Hogs should be comfortably gedded,
but It'll S best to use just enough bed
ding to keep them warm, and to
change it once or twice a week. Where
a large quantity of bedding is supplied
it becomes damp underneath, causing
rheumatism; and dusty on top, giving
the hogs a dryti hacking cough. Both
dust and dampness are opposed to
thrift.
When hogs are not supplied with
plenty Of comfortable bedding in cold
Weather they pile on top OF one an
other to keep warm. In this way the
under ones become heated, and when
they get out into the cold air are easily
attacked by pneumonia and rheuma-
tism. If the attack is not sufficient
to kill them it makes them unthrifty.
It is best to allow only a limited num-
Der Of hogs to sleep together, and
they should have such shelter and
bedding that they can keep warm
without becoming heated.
Hogs are more disturbed by wind
than any other farm animals. Their
shelter should thoroughly protect
them from win and from ~draughtS.
This is a cheap and convenient port
able hoghouse. 1t is s feet wide. 8
feet long, and the room is s feet in
length, making the building Z feet
high. The door in front is 2 IL feet
wide, 3 feet high. and another at the
back. ear the top, is Il by Is inches.
The small door may be covered with
havy muslin, admitting air and light
draught. The frame is made
of 2 by As and is covered with drop
siding. No floor is used. When it is
desired to move the building 1t ma
be tipped over onto a low wagon or
stone boat. 1t is. cheap and often old
material can be used in building it. It
is easily moved and easily disinfected
and can be changed so frequently that
it may be kept OF clean ground. free
from disease. When a SOW farroWS in
cold weather a lantern hung TO the
roof will keep the buildink sufficiently
warm.
