POTATO SoRTER VERY HANDY
Tedious Labor Involved Con Be Re-
lleVed by Device Shown In Illus
tratlon Below.

The tedious labor involved In sort
ing many bushels of potatoes can be
relieved with the device shown In IL
lustration, and the amount Of work
done in half or a third Of the time
possible under the hand method, says
Orange Judd Farmer. A frame Is
bull, to go over a large box or bin.
This is covered with 1-inch mesh
chicken wire and set so that 1t slants
upon the box or bin. The potatoes
are placed upon this screen and the
small ones pass through the meshes
into the box or bin below.
The larger potatoes roll down to.
ward the lowest end Of screen. Two
men standing on each side Of the de-,
vice can pick out all the damaged
potatoes as they roll down over same.

KEEPING MANURE IN WINTER
Ito Value as Fertilizer Depends Upon
Manner Of lts Distribution
How Handled.

CBy A. d. Wilson. University Farm. 81.
Paul, MIMI
One Of the important problems on
the farm is to conserve as much Of
the fertility as possible. and still pro-
duce good crops. It is well recog.
nized that one Of the best ways Of do
ing this is to feed the live stock .
large proportion Of the crops grown,
and to return the by-product, manure.
to the land. This brings up the i'm
portant question of how best to han
die this manure so that It will be best
conserved.
It is quite generally considered,
now, that the most economical way,
both as to the economy Of labor and
elements of fertility, is to haul the
manure direct from the barn to the
field In the northern states there
are, Of course. some days in the win
ter when It is difficult to get the ma
nure onto the field. However, every
day that It is possible, manure should
be bauled directly to the field and
spread.
There are two ways by which the
fertilizing value is lost; the first is
by heating, and the second Is by
teaching. II manure is left in piles
about the barn, It soon begins to
heat, especially II It contains a large
proportion of horse manure. When
It heats, the manure is decomposed
and the element of most value, nitro
gen, is lost in the form Of gas. In the
spring and early summer, II manure
is lying about the yards where rain
can fall on 1t, much Of the fertility Is
leached out and carried away. II ma
nure is spread on the field directly
from the barn, heating Is prevented
until the manure is covered up in the
soil. Then any elements that are
liberated by decomposition are taken
up by the soil and saved. When ma
nure Is spread out on the field, 1t dries
out; and, as the larger part Of the
manure Is In insoluble form, even II
It does rain on the fields, very little
fertility is washed out, because It Is
not soluble. It does not become solu-
BILE until covered up In the ground,
where It is kept moist and where de-
composition can take place. Then
the teaching leaves the fertility in the
soil, where It Is used.
Considering these facts, and the
fact that manure is handled fewer
times when hauled direct from the
barn to the field, makes It quite evi.
dent that, from the standpoint of
economy, this is the practical way Of
handling manure.

RED CROSS SEALS.

Judging from reports at hand today,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis es,
Inmates that by December /, not less
than 5000, 900 Red Cross Seals will
have been distributed to selling agents
in forty states of the country.
Forty million seals have already
been printed and another large edi.
ton is being prepared. Agents or
ders to date aggregate all of that
amount and a considerable number
have not yet stated how many seals
they can use. Taking into considera-
ton this latter class and the agents
who will be appointed before Deem
Der /, the prospects for selling 100,-
600, stamps, which is the goal that
has been set by the national workers,
are extremely bright.
Over 30 state societies have organ
lied the sale on an extensive basis,
and in about 10 more states, Red
Cross Seals will be sold in some
places. All told, including state, city,
county, and sub-agents, an army of
fully 30, men, women and children
will be engaged in selling the bright
Christmas Seals for the prevention of
tuberculosis. Permission to sell seals
in the corridors Of all post-offices has
been granted by Secretary Hitchcock.
They will also be ON sale in depart
ment stores, hotels, railway stations,
drug stores, and in thousands of 9th
er places.
Every conceivable device for adver-
Using the seals is being prepared. In
some places valuable prizes will be
given. Millions of slips, dodgers, post
ers, and other kinds of literature will
be distributed calling upon the pub
lie to buy Red Cross Seals.
Among the agencies that are CO
operating with the Red Cross and the
tuberculosis societies are women's
clubs, lodges, labor unions, business
mems associations, stores, banks,
newspapers, and thousands of school
boys and girls.
Every seal is a bullet in the fight
against tuberculosis in the commun-
ity where it is sold, and a million dol
lars from tho sale for the stamping
out of this plague is the object of the
Christmas campaign.
