EDISON DENIES HE'S A GENIUS

Thomas A. Edison listened intently

Benedictine Monks, unfolded to him
the gigantic task in which the COM
mission appointed by Pope Plus y. of
which he is the head, is engaged in

PROPER CARE OF
SWEET POTATOES
Unlike Other Vegetables, Tubers
Should Be Stored in a Warm
and Dry Place.
CBy L. NJ. BENNINGTOND

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 hard 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 SHOW
eled around rather carelessly, and oft
en- bruise in one of the potatoes, or
even decayed spot, will not affect
the other part which is left in sound
condition
But not so with the sweet potato,
for a bruise at one end will affect the
quality of the sound part at the other
end and will render It unfit for use.
This fact is not generally understood
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 a warm,
dry place. A temperature of so to 70
degrees 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 tenn
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.

LIME IMPROVES
SOIL CONDITIONS
On Some Land 1t Is Necessary as
Actual Plant Food for AL
faIfa and Clover.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

When we apply lime to our soil we
look to it's effect upon the soil rather
than to it's direct influence upon the
plants. While many farms contain
sufficient deposits of lime, 1t is also
true that many soils are deficient in
this element.
Lime has various functions 1t cor
rects soil acidity; thus stimulating the
action of the bacteria that assist in
making plant food available and
gather nitrogen from the atmosphere.
1t changes dormant plant food into
active plant food, by carbonating the
soil water and makes it more pow
erful solvent.
1t improves the physical condition
of the soil by making a heavy soil
more friable and a loose soil more
compact On some soils it is needed
as an actual plant food, for such crops
as alfalfa and clover.
There are various kinds of lime
used for agricultural purposes and
each kind has certain advantages but
my experience has led me to believe
that it is much safer TO use the car
Donate, or ground limestone, because
it does not have tendency to destroy
the humus in the soil, especially if
large quantities are used at one time.
On heavy soils that are inclined to
be wet the caustic lime will have more
beneficial effects and liberate more
plant food. Such land requires a
more powerful agent to tear apart and
decompose the soil particles and i'm
prove its physical conditions. For
sweetening the soil the carbonate, or
ground limestone, is equally valuable.
Lime should be applied early in the
spring, when it has not been applied
the previous fall, and should be ap-
piled a number of days before ferti-
lizer and be thoroughly incorporated
with the soil.
II fertilizer containing nitrogen is
applied where it will come in contact
with the caustic lime there will be a
waste of ammonia and consequent
loss of fertility.
The great question is how much
shall we use. ! believe that one ton
of caustic lime is an adequate amount
to supply at one time. If the ground
limestone is applied, we may safely
double the amount A moderate ap-
plication every four or six years is
more desirable than a heavier appli-
cation less frequently.

No horse is well broken until he has
no fear whatever of the automobile.
Try to turn your horses back to
the wind and blanket him when tying
him up. as the wind blowing against
his breast is apt to lay the foundation
of rheumatism, stiffness and similar
ailments.
If the brood mares are not worked
regularly, see that they get out in
the open air and sunlight and move
around.
Often we do not appreciate the vir-
tues of the modest, unassuming mule.
He costs no more than horse colt to
foal and raise and is less trouble and
expense to put in the harness. He is
not as susceptible to disease as the
horse, and he is not SO easily made
stiff or lame. He requires less feed
than horse of the same size, yet will
do as much or more work with less
fatigue. He will do you 20 years
faithful service.
See that the animals are comfort
able and that they have at all times
plenty of water
This may be the threshold of the
horseless age, but just try to buy a
pair of good horses and you will find
out that the horse is still in good de-
mand.
The best sale you can possibly make
of your farm crops is to sell them to
your stock In the way of food. And
then, too, the fertility of the soil is
kept where it will bring the biggest
returns.
With the increased prices Of horses,
more attention is being paid to the
care of the feet
Most of the trouble with horses
feet is caused by improper shoeing.
Breaking a horse" is a harsh ex-
preston. Nowadays the farmer gen

GOVERNOR PARDONS ONE.
Orders Lawrence Staniewski, OF Bal
timore. Set Free.

Governor GoIdsbOrough held a seS-
sion of his pardon court" in the
Executive Offices here and granted one
pardon. Several other cases were con-
sidered. The Governor pardoned Law
renee Staniewski, who is serving Is
years in the penitentiary for burglary.
StaniewsM was convicted before the
Criminal Court of Baltimore at the
September term, 190S. By commuta-
tion for good behavior his term would
have expired July L, 1921. Staniewski
is a German and was but II years old
when convicted The order for his re-
lease was signed by the Governor and
will be forwarded to State Senator
Albert VI. Sproesser, who was the
soliciting attorney in the case. The
Governor ordered the petition for the
pardon of Charles Degrau advertised
for final consideration this week. De
grau was convicted before the Grim
inal Court Of Baltimore at the Jan
uary term, 1912, of burglary, larceny.
etc, and sentenced to the peniteitiary
for four years. There was strong op-
position to clemency for Degrau when
application was made to the Governor
a few months ago, but now, it is
stated. the protestants have withdrawn
their objections. The Governor an
nounced his intention to examine pa
pers in the case of Richard Allnut and
James Frazier The former was con
victed by the Montgomery County Cir
cult Court at the November term,
1911, of second-degree murder and SEN
fenced to term of IS years. Allnut
killed his sister, Mrs. Valeria Viers,
and also attacked his aged mother
and Miss Jane Rawlins, friend of the
family. Frazier was convicted in Som
erset county and was given a COM
bined sentence of three years.

uPBulLDING OF MARYLAND.
Greater Publicity Of Its Advantages

Governor GoldsbOrough will include
in his next message to the legislature
a recommendation for the establish
ment in Baltimore of a publicity
bureau with an appropriation of $25,-
600 to keep it going for the first year.
Governor Goldsborough said that he
believes Baltimore must and VIII
secure a large share Of the Panama
Canal trade when that waterway opens
and It is to let the business men and
the people know just what conditions
are in Maryland and Baltimore that he
wants to establish the bureau. lie

edly needs more advertising, for from
personal observations he knew that in
some sections of the country people
lad never ever heard OF Baltimore
and that in parts of Canada they did
not even know there was such State
as MARYLAND With this bureau hav-
ing as it's head capable business man
and an able writer the city will be-
come known throughout the country
and It's advantages as a seaport am
manufacturing city will be explained
if the legislature supports Governor
Goldsborough in this plan. The Gov
ernor said that it is his belief that Bal
timore will become the main inlet and
outlet for the Panama Canal trade Of

The Poultry Mite.

The red mite works at night; it
crawls forth from its hiding place and
attacks the fowls while they are at
roost. Hundreds of these may prey
upon single hen, fill themselves with
blood. and then crawl back to their
hiding-places contented until the next
night. During the day these para
sites lie dormant in the cracks and
crevices about the henhouse, hence
they are not SO easily detected by the
novice.
