fresh air classes for tuberculous and
anaemic children, and also for all chill

STORING CROPS FOR WINTER
Cellar Should Be Carefully Cleaned
and All Defects in Walls Made
Tight With Mortar.
(By WALTER B. LEUTI.)

tBy w ALlER %. LEU
Have the cellar carefully cleaned be-
fore storing away any of the winter
supply If there are defects in the
wall make them tight with mortar. Ii
the windows are loose, repair them.
These little things may be the means
of saving the entire contents of the
cellar.
carefully and put in no questionable
specimens. Dust the seemingly per-
feet ones with lime.
If the winter squashes are picked
before they become fully ripe they
will be much more apt to mold and
rot.
Make the cabbage heads which in
cline to burst into kraut. If you fear
trouble in keeping it cook part and
put into cans, sealing with paraff1n.
The solid heads need not be put into
the cellar until November, but may be
left growing
Do not despise the small beets, tur-
nips and apples. The stock will need
them if you do not. And it Is aston
ishing how much stuff of this kind
chickens require to keep them at their
best. Give them the parings now and
save the small fruit or vegetables for
winter use.
If you have more stuff than you
need and it is not of sufficiently good
quality to offer for sale, perhaps some
neighbor could use it to advantage
Many a poor man is glad to get even
the culls and windfalls from a large
orchard-and the latter is the better
for their removal.
