New Method OF Keeping Potatoes.
A German publication, the Practical
Adviser in Fruit Raising and Garden
ing, states that new method for keep
ing potatoes and preventing sprouting
consists in placing them on a layer of
coke. DR.. Schiller, Of Brunswick, who
has published the method, is Of the
opinion that the improved ventilation
by means of coke is not alone RESPONSE
bic for the result, but believes that 1t
is due to the oxidation Of the coke,
which, however, is a very slow one.
Coke always contains sulphur, and it
is very possible that the minute guam

retard sprouting. Potatoes so treated
are said to keep in good condition until

eral shots. If any miss it will usually
be the last one or two fired.
In any event, this same woman who
has executed such swiftly accurate
satisfaction for her injuries could not
hit any sort of a mark with her pistol
under anything like normal condi.
tions. The chances are that she would
scream and drop the weapon when it
was discharged, and her bullet would
be likely to pierce the sky or bury

the result would be an accident.

But the average, normal man who

painfully conscious of the fact that
he can't hit barn door. He tries to

complete control of himself by the
passion which controls his actions.
He still thinks, as he shoots, what he
is doing. He has his attention partly
diverted to the weapon. And the tar.
get has a fair chance.
