the small ones pass through the mesh

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 po-
tatoes as they roll down over same,
thus securing perfectly sorted potatoes
with but a fraction of the time, labor
and expense required to sort them by
handling each one. If the device is
placed on q bin that is several feet
from the ground an inclined surface
should be placed at the foot of the
screen so the tubers will not be bruis-
ed by dropping directly to the floor or
ground.-Orange Judd Farmer.

The silo affords the means of

Forage placed in the silo keeps

!. Silage can be used in summer

other labor leaders who must have been

that the McNamaras deceived organized

Mr.. Burns gave his notion as to who
are representative labor leaders Of the
beat type. He said he considered that
the present head of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers was such a man,
and that Carter head of the Locomo-
tive Firemen, was another. He had
never, he said, been able to find any
evidence that John Mitchell had ever
countenanced acts such as the McNa-

that there are many other labor lead
