In answer to a query as to the best
method of storing potatoes the Rural
New Yorker makes the following re-
ply:
In storing potatoes we use neither
cellar nor loft. AS soon as the potatoes
are dug In the summer, we pile them
in heaps under the shade of some
large trees. Sometimes we make cone
shaped piles by dumping the baskets
over the same point and letting the po'
tatoes spread out as they will; while
at other times we make ricks of them
by laying two rails on the ground

City FOLKS Pay Well.

The supply OF good poultry has
never yet equaled the demand. City
folks prefer poultry products direct
from the farm and will pay any price
you ask for them. II you are near
town, become acquainted with those
who use poultry products and try to
supply their wants. There will be
money in your pocket for such a
trade.

IL selecting the ram to head a flock

much precaution must be taken, If the
owner wishes TO secure any improve
ment In the offspring. All too often
we see ~carelessness shown in this mat
ter by Indiana farmers. OF course.
there are many hocks in the state,
both grade and pure bred that show
evidence of the careful selection OF
the ram used. but there are many
other cases where no tim. IS given TO
the finding of a suitable ram and no
extra money would be expended TO
buy such a ram in case he is found.
This Indifferent spirit has been a po-
tent factor In hurting the popularity
OF sheep h~usbandry throughout the
state.
Use a Pure Bred.
In the first place, the ram selected
should, by all means, be a pure bred

ALL "UP IN THE AIR."

An Illinois inventor proposes to
transport Kansas oil and wheat TO
market by means Of airships. He
has written to the secretary OF state
about the matter and wants TO get in
touch with farmers who have money
to put in the enterprise. He says that
airship transportation will make the

TO CATTLE TICK
Is Charged Faults Found in Southern
Leather.

Another indictment against the
Southern cattle tick has been found
by the Department of Agriculture,
says the Washington Star. This is
the tick which transmits Texas or
splenic fever. 1t has for years pre-
vented profitable cattle raising in the
South, Notwithstanding climatic con-
ditions of that part of the country.
Now the leather dealers say that
they are obliged to reject or at
least grade low the hides from tick
infested cattle because there is more
and more demand for grain leather
and on such leather the tick marks
show and make it undesirable.
It was thought when the diseases
carrying qualities of the cattle tick
were first discovered that eradica-
tion of the pest in the South was an
impossible task. The agents of the
department have been working at
the problem since 1906 and have
found a way to Systematically clean
up the ticks by dipping and pasture
rotation. Now about one-fifth of the
cattle area under quarantine has been
released and the clean area is extend
ing rapidly.
The department says that under
modern leather-making conditions the
tick-infested hides are graded as No.
4. The same hides, if free from ticks,
would grade as No. 2. The difference
in price between these two grades of
hides is 3 cents per pound. AS the
hide of Southern steers weighs about
As pounds, the presence of the tick
in the hide causes a loss in the hide
alone of more than S1.26 per hide.
Government specialists point out
that the cost of tick eradication is
only about so cents per head, so that
if the counties make systematic
campaign to eradicate the tick, the
increase alone would leave the farm
er a net profit of about 76 cents per
hide.
Tennessee will probably be the first
State to be entirely free from quar-
antine for ticks. 1t already has erad-
icated the tick in 81 counties and all
that now remain under quarantine
are parts of Marion, Wayne, Hard
man, McNairy and Decatur counties
and all of Hardin, Henderson and
Chester counties. 1t is hoped that by
September l these counties will be
free from ticks and the entire State
out of quarantine.
According to the specialists of the
Department OF Agriculture, it has
cost less than so cents per head to
eradicate the tick in Tennessee, and
the cattle owners as result have
gained greatly.

Evelyn Says, II Can't Collect

New York.-Three $4,000 checks
signed by Mrs. Mary c. Thaw, Harry's
mother, figured again Thursday IN
the bankrupt proceedings involving
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw. The dancer went
into bankruptcy a month ago but va
rious creditors are trying to prove
that she is able to pay her bills.
Mrs. Thaw gave her checks, Evelyn
said, when she agreed to bring suit
for annulment of her marriage to the
slayer of Stanford White, but later
stopped payment on them, though
her daughter-in-law, so the latter
said, tried to carry out her part of
the contract. To sustain her conten-
ton that these checks were OF no
value, Evelyn testified yesterday that
she had tried to collect on them in
vain "for years and years"
Mrs. Mary c. Thaw will be called
later to tell about property she Is
said to have turned over to Evelyn.

CLAIM BABIES A NUISANCE
Atlanta Woman jailed For Letting
Babies Run at Large.

Atlanta, Sept. 4.-For letting their
babies romp naked on the front lawn
in the sunshine, for all the world like
frolicksome little puppies, Mrs Annie
Hanson was arrested on the COM
plant of neighbors this morning.
Mrs. Hanson did not deny the
charge, but made the plea that the
children we're such tiny little tots
and the weather so hot that she didn' t
know it was wrong. She was fined
S10.75.
Without knowing it, perhaps, Mrs.
Hanson was trying to introduce into
this community custom which is
regarded as perfectly proper among
thepoor people of over half the CIV
ilized world. In Rome, Naples, Mar
seilles, in fact nearly all the cities
of southern Europe, and even in the
beautiful Florence, it is regarded as
just and proper for Children under
three or four years of age to run
about and play naked in the sunshine,
as it is for them to run barefoot
here.

JAILED FOR WHITE SLAVERY.
Prominent Farmers of Georgia Lure
Little Girl.

George and William Walker, prom
inent farmers of Walker county, Ca,
are in jail awaiting trial on serious
charge. 1t is alleged that they lured
from her home, Susie Fcicks, the
2retty 14-year-old daughter of a
peighbor, took her to the home OF
George Walker, in the absence of his
wife, where she spent the night con-
cealed her the next day from her par
ents, and put her on train bound
for Alabama City Ala, where George
Walker, it is said, promised to join
her.
The child attracted the attention
of the railroad conductor, who per-
suaded her to return home. The par
ents had been conducting vigorous
search when the little girl returned.
Before her departure she left note
stating that she was to marry in a
short time and go to Oklahoma to
live. George Walker, the alleged in
stigator of the crime, is married
man. William Walker is being held
as an accessory.

ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
Decomposed Body of Missing Man
Found in Trunk.

Ottawa, Ont, September 9.-The
body of Charles Robinson, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, a bookmaker's clerk, who
had been missing since the Con-
naught Park race meet, was found
in a trunk in a vacant house here TO-
night. The police Immediately began
an investigation.
The trunk was discovered under
pile of coke in the basement where it
evidently had lain for some time. The
body was so badly decomposed it was
impossible to determine by what
means the man had met his death.
Robinson was last seen the night
of Thursday, August 2S, and his en-
ployer next day notified the Ottawa
authorities of his disappearance. On
Saturday, August 80, man who gave
no name obtained from real estate
agent the keys to the vacant house,
telling the agent he wanted to OBJ
tain clothing store. The keys were
returned the following Tuesday. The
police believe the body was taken to
the house while the keys were in the
hands of the stranger.

Wisdom of the Calf.

A man concerned in educational
matters in Tennessee had been con-
verted to the agricultural point of
view. He made no such mistake as
to 20 to the people with messages of
chemistry, botany or zoology, but, on
the contrary, advocated eminently
practical measures. At meeting up
in the hill country he made an ad-
dress in which he labored long and
arduously to prove to the audience
that every boy and every girl should
know how to milk a COW, and to this
end should attend an agricultural col
lege. After wearing out he threw
the meeting open for remarks and
discussion. After a painful silence a
gaunt old man with hay colored
whiskers, the principal of theologi-
cal seminary, arose. STRANGER
said he, Il agree with you that every
boy, black or white, should know how
to milk a cow. I even agree that ev-
cry girl should include this art along
with her other accomplishments.
However, 1 want to make this sug-
gestion: Wouldn't it be good thing
for a college to teach its students
something that a calf couldn't beat
'em at?''
