"Hanqarp and "shed."

The motor car is responsible for
the unnecessary addition of many
French words to our language, but
for some there is at least the excuse
that we have no direct equivalent In
our own tongue. To the word han.
gar" however, no such excuse is an.
plicable; besides which, 1t is an ugly
word. and the average Englishman's
pronunciation of It will not be an i'm.
provement in this respect. If the
word shed" is not good enough for
us, surely foreign equivalent does
not mend matters.-London Outlook.

A Shining Metal.

1t is a legend among the peasants
of Cornwall that at night one some
times sees a faintly-shining mineral
among the rocks brought from the
mines. That this is not pure magma.
ton has been proved by Professor
Strut. A specimen Of the mineral
autunite. which is also found in Wales,
was sent to him from Portugal be-
cause of its luminous property. He
finds that It closely resembles arti.
f1cially prepared salts of uranium. and
that its luminosity is due to sponta.
neous radio-activity. The light that
1t sheds is stronger than that of NJ
trate of uranium. Upon parting with
its water Of crystallization the min
eral loses its luminous property.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Winter Quarters For Hens.

While fowls can stand a great deal
more crowding In the winter than
in the summer. they cannot stand too
much even then. The first noticeable
effect from OvercrOwding Is diminished
egg production. which can be relieved
by removing part Of the fowls to other
quarters. Feather pulling and egg
eating are vices that are soon learned
when fowls are too crowded. A con-
tagiOus disease soon spreads in crowd
ed quarters and plays sad havoc
among the flock. There is never enough
room at the feeding trough. and the
weaker ones never get enough to eat.
But the worst result of OvercrOwding
Is the curtailment of the egg supply,
and this counts when eggs are SO high
In price. If you would have plenty
of eggs keep no more fowls In one
pen than can be comfortable on the
ro0sts without Overcrowding and have
plenty of scratching room in the house.
If they are so crowded as to DE in the
way of one another while scratching
for their food. you certainly will not
get many eggs.

THE STORAGE OF
SEED POTATOES.
Tubers- Keep Best In a Well
Ventilated Cellar.

Seed potatoes in storage have three
very definite requirements. They must
be Kept In cool place well ventilated
and dark. That the potatoes be kept
cool is most important. The best tenn
perature is from 33 to 80 degrees If
the temperature falls below 81 degrees
there Is danger Of freezing, although
IT takes a slightly lower temperature
to freeze potatoes than water. Good
ventilation is necessary in order to
prevent the spread of rot. and 1t is
well to keep the potatoes dark. SO they
will not start 10 sprout at any time.
A cool. dark. well ventilated cellar
fairly dry is the best place to store seed
potatoes on the ordinary farm.
AS spring comes on seed potatoes
should not be allowed to send out the
long. pale, spindly shoots so often seen.
This may be prevented by keeping the
potatoes cool and dark. Some growers.

degrees and here allow them to de-
