For late varieties Of potatoes to b
stored 1t il important to wait until the
tubers are full grown and The lsayes
have died. After this stage ot dsvel-
opment the tubers separate freely from
the stems and do not have to b jssksd

not rub of easily. II the vines have been
seriously injured BY blight the tubsrs
should not be dug until ten days or tive
weeks after the vines have died, b.
cause they are more likely to keep well
in storage than II dug at once.
If an early frost comes aud II the
growing season has been late 1t may
be necessary to dig before the potatoes
are fully matured. In such cases there
is usually greater shrinkage in weight
than usually occurs with fully matureA
tubers. For this reason any reason
able offer to purchase the potatoes d.
rect from the field should be accepted.
Potatoes for storage must bs dug
when dry, picked up at once and kept
cool. If possible they should be hauled
to cool place as soon as dug and al
lowed to get cooler during the night
before being placed in storage.-Amer-

Stout was one of a younger set Of
men in his suburb who were together
a great deal and constantly joking one
another. He talked to them about his
nocturnal trips home, his fear of foot
pads and what he hoped TO accomplish
in case of attack. One night when he
was passing dimly lighted place be-

he was seized from behind by both
arms. hand was thrust in his pocket
and $500 in bills taken, together with
his revolver. so that when the robbers
ran away he had no weapon with
which to pursue them.
On reaching his house he found sew

They sympathized with him deeply,
and while doing so two others Of the
set, Mark Hamlin and Ben Turner
walked in. Stout was somewhat sur
prised to find callers SO late at night
it was II o'clock-but, after all. there
was nothing remarkable in their visit.
After listening to his account Of the

confessed himself the robber.
Then there was general joIlifica-

Weeds take up in large quanti-
