VEGETABLES IN THE CELLAR
Roots Are Ninety Per Cent. Water, Ac-
counting for Their ShriveIling
When Kept Warm.
(By M. r. FRAZER.)

There are two-one at the house,
the other at the barn, built on a side
hill, a favorable location.
Roots are 80 per cent water, &C
counting for their shriveling when
kept in warm dry place. All mois-
ture evaporates, therefore the roots
lose most of their fine feeding value,
but if ones cellar is moist and warm
then rot sets in.
Beet roots will stand little frosty
spell without harm We kept cabbage,
carrots, etc., in the house cellar for
convenience, being well sand-packed
in large boxes, the windows left open.
The air is kept away as GOODNESS
prevents rot, sprouting and shriveling.
We found them fresh. crisp and tasty
in the spring.
The other part Of this cellar was
cemented, of course, and we spread
some fruit on the floor, yet no earthly
taste was noticeable.
Apples kept well packed in layers.
some distance apart and sand covered.
Those in boxes were elevated trifie
on bricks. One season we packed
apples in barrel with oats between
the layers and those proved a success,
also.
AS cabbage needs much water, a
supply was sprinkled over them, keep
ing them green, fresh and crisp.
The roots for our stock were uni
formly good, handy to feed.
Our barn cellar was on a side-hill
excavation into the high bank. 1t had
cement wall several feet high and a
nice driveway on the upper side. The
roots were very easily unloaded by a
chute through convenient, removable
window, which furnished light as well.
One season we kept a quantity OF
roots and apples in a pit in the side
hill-about three feet deep. We spread
straw on the bottom, filed the pit to
the top and covered all with good
straw with dirt heaped over that, and
then a board cover to protect the con-
tents from water. In February and
March they opened out with only a
few defective specimens.

CHAPTER II,
The Girl and the Waiter.

At seven o'clock, in immaculate eve

After studying the menu lovingly, and
having devised q dinner suitable to
the palate of one who had followed the
lure of Epicurus in Vienna, Paris, and
London, he turned from the card and
lighting cigarette and slipping a cock
tail, he gazed about the room.
At enc table he saw tile French am
passador and company of his Gallo
friends. Near by young Pembroke, OF
the British embassy, was dining girl
Holton had met. To his left sat a
dark-skinned, sleek-appearing man
with close-cropped VanGyke beard. He
had been pointed out to Holton in
Paris as man who had plans of Ger
man forts at Kiel for sale. The young
officer wondered what he was doing
here.
Altogether the atmosphere, Holton
decided, was just as it should be, just
as the capital of a country should act
when the government stands on the
brink of international war.
Holton had Just dispatched his first
oyster when his attention was attract
ed by musical little laugh to table
about twenty feet away from him. A
girl, slightly above the medium height,
with slender resilient figure, was stand
ing with her back to him, talking to
her escort, a well-built man of fifty
odd. with iron-gray hair and beard
and the dark features of the Latin.
She was a beauty Holton, connois-
seur of femininity though he was, ad-
mitted that without hesitation. Her
hair was not the coalblack hair Of her
race. but shining, golden deep
brown. which lay upon her head in
thick. waving convolutions. Her eyes
were blue gray, set off by long, dark
lashes, and fine brows, which ran with
delicate arches to the straight, finely
modelled nose. Her lips were colored
by nature, pure coral, and her teeth
flashed as she spoke.
ITS absurd, father, for you to mind

to occupy myself by dining"
The father shrugged.
Well" he said at length, ".t is
quite necessary, Rance, and l shan't

you back to the hotel"
Not at all, not ALL" she protested

stick. No wood should be removed
with the bud. and care should be taken
when the bud proper is extra large to
avoid pulling the soft wood Or core
out of it. 1t may De necessary in
such a case to first loosen the bark
containing the bud. on one side up
to the bud proper, then carefully cut
this soft core with knife and the
rest of the bud piece may be easily
removed. AS soon as the bud is re-
moved from the bud stick is should
be inserted into the stock. This is
readily accomplished by first carefully
turning back the upper corners of the
~ shaped cut, slightly prying them
away from the wood, then inserting
the base of the bud into the opening,
pushing it down until the top and bot
tom of the bud are flush with the
transverse cuts on the stock, and the
bud lies smoothly and snugly against
the latter. By making the bud force
its own passage under the bark after
this manner there is much less ex-
posture to the air than if the SIDES Of
the cut are first turned back and the
bud then laid in place. The bad is
now ready for tying.
The Flute Bud-In this method of
budding it is best to first shape the
bud and then cut the stock to fit it
The bud, which is rectangular, about
three-fourths of an inch long, and five
eighths Of an inch wide is made and
removed from the bud stick exactly
as in the Hinge Bud. When tbs cion
bud is in place, care must be taken
that the sides Of the bud fit up snugly
all around.
In either case, after the bud is in
place the two are snugiy wrapped.
Special care should be exercised in
the wrapping to see that the bud is
pressed firmly against the wood OF
the stock. Muck IF the success of the
operation depends on proper wrapping.
In many cases there is a prominent
elevation where the leak stalk has
become detached, and unless care is
used In pressing this down firmly in
the tying it will draw away and no
union will result. When properly
tied, wrap the entire bud with waxed
cloth to keep out moisture and air,
and wax all over. The following wax
is recommended: Rosin, pounds;
beeswax, 1 pound; finely pulverized
wood charcoal, " pound; raw linseed
Oil, 1 gil. First melt the beeswax
and rosin, add the charcoal, stirring
constantly, and then add the oil.
