night. The lad has been bothered with
the trouble at different times for sew

SWEET POTATOES
NEED MUCH CARE
Bruise at One End viii Affect
Quality of Sound Portion
Keep Them Dry.
(By r. G.. WEATHERSTONED

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Sweet potatoes need to be handled
carefully if they are to be kept
through the winter, and unlike most
other vegetables, sweet potatoes
should be kept in warm, dry place.
In the first place sweet potatoes
must be dug at the right time. They
should be dug before the frosts have
killed the tops for this Injuries the
quality of the tubers somewhat
After digging, the potatoes must be
handled as carefully as though they
were eggs. Irish potatoes can be
shoveled around rather carelessly and
often a bruise in one OF the potatoes,
or even decayed spot will not af-
feet the other part which is left in
sound condition.
But not so with the sweet potato,
for bruse at one end will affect the
quality of the sound portion at the
other end and will render it unfit for
use This fact is not generally under
stood by many growers who handle
sweet potatoes as carelessly as they
do Irish potatoes.
This fact Is responsible for many of
the potatoes of poor quality which are
served during the winter.
After being handled, the sweet po-
tatoes should be stored in warm dry
place. temperature of 60 to 70 de-
grees is about right for the proper
keeping of sweet potatoes.
Some persons have stored them in
THE sand or dust from the country
road to help preserve an even TEN
perature,
If the potatoes are stored In sand or
dust, care must be taken that the
sand Is perfectly dry.
Handled carefully, sweet potatoes
can be kept for some months and will
be found of good quality late in the
winter.

ments of feed dropped upon it's sur
face and keep them clean, 80 that
such particles may be eaten by some
animal. 1t must be capable of being
easily cleaned and disinfe cted, 80 that
1t may never become dangerous to the
health of the animal feeding from it.
It's surface must be such that none of
the manure deposited on it will be
absorbed and that all of it may be
easily removed for storage. The cost
of the floor must be moderate.
AS building material concrete is
most valuable for floor construction.
Concrete floors are moderate in first
cost, they last forever. All of the
manure deposited Upon them is easily
removed for storage.
The surface of these floors is such
that they can be cleaned and disin-
fected with ease. Through their use
the farm is freed Of foul, muddy barn
lots, the breeding place of disease
spreading gnats flies and mosquitoes.
Likewise. rats and other destructive
animals can find no home about con-
crete floors.
The saving Of grain, OF labor, and of
manure is so great to the feeder that
concrete floors may pay for them
selves in the short space OF one year.
These floors may be placed anywhere
they may be needed
With the use of concrete floors the
general appearance Of the farm is i'm
proved, the disagreeableness of wad-
ing through mud and mire Is obtained,
and farm life in general is made more
attractive.
What Is true OF the concrete feed
ing floors for hogs, cattle and sheep.
is also true OF the use of this most
excellent material in many other ways
on the farm.
Houses and barns and all other
buildings may be constructed of con-
crete and sidewalks. and hitching and
clothes line and fence posts of con-
crete are superior to any other kind.
Dipping watts, manure pits, silos,
troughs OF all kinds, for feed and wa
ter, water tanks, culverts, cisterns and
almost everything that is needed
on the farm, may be of concrete and
are more durable, cost less and are
much more satisfactory in every par.
ticular than wood.

Some OF the increased cost Of living
may be traced directly to the de-
creased producing power of the farm
lands. This condition has been large
ly brought about by delivering the
harvested crop direct to the market
and returning nothing to the fields
The problem OF restoring the soil to
it's former fertility, together with the
advanced price of meats, makes it
highly profitable for every farmer to
raise certain amount of live stock
The manure thus produced, properly
cared for and distributed, returns to
the cultivated land large part Of the
fertility which the crop of grain re-
moved From the sale of his live
stock the farmer realizes a direct
profit on his grain consumed. and al
so, through the use Of the manure. in
creases the fertility of his fields.
During the period of cheap lands
and grains, animals were generally al
lowed to run at large and were fed
for the market only when they hap
pened to be large enough. Feeding
consisted in hauling out the feed and
dumping it down in what seemed the
least muddy spot on that particular
morning. This method, as compared
with feeding on the bare ground in
lots, had this merit: Whatever the
stock did not eat, together with the
droppings, was scattered over the pas
ture instead of being allowed to pile
up and to leach or wash away with
the heavy rains. However, from the
present standpoint o. high-priced
lands and grain, such methods OF feed
ing are too wasteful. The feed be-
comes mixed with mud and Is not so
good for the animal. BY tramping and
roofing for fragments the next sea-
sons growth of grass is damaged by
the animals and weeds are given an
opening. In addition, the stalks, husks,
cobs, and other manure from feeding
should be returned to the cultivated
fields which are in immediate need Of
fertilizing material
The value of the. feeding floor was
long ago recognized. The difficulty
has been to contain floor that would
possess all of the necessary qualities
without any accompanying disadvant-
ages.
Such a floor must save the frag-
