TASK or DIGGING POTATOES
Maintained by Some Flavor and Pal
liability Lost by Washing Cling
ing Dirt From Tubers.

Where potatoes are very dirty
when taken from the field, some grow
ers wash all the soil off them. 9th
ers maintain that it ruins their flavor
and palatability. They are certainly
far more cleaner and more desirable
to handle when the hose has been
turned on them, and the clinging,
hardened dirt washed off.
II the ground is fairly dry when
they are dug, and if they are allowed
to take the air and the wind for a
while, they will usually be clean
enough to do without washing. There
IS every reason for digging them dur
ing such weather conditions.
Potato digging should be made a
sort Of an odd job, one that can be
done at any time when there is moth
ing more pressing to do. The potato
crop should be an important one, and
any farmer who is forced to buy po-
tatoes for table use should look upon
himself as temporarily disgraced.
Enough potatoes are spoiled every
year by careless digging to feed a city
of the second class for twelve months.
only in communities where the po-
tato is the main and staple crop is
there any real care shown in digging
and handling this very important food
crop.

WOE BROUGHT MOTHER FOX
tragic Moments for Vixen After She
Had Carried Poisoned Food to
Her Litter.

On n Of the large estates in Hing.
ham, a few weeks ago. a fox was found
70 be destroying poultry. The time of
the raids, and their boldness, were
proof enough that the fox must be a
female with young. Poisoned meat
was prepared for her, and at once the
raids ceased. A few days later one Of
the Workmen OF the estate came upon
the den OF a fox. at the mouth Of
which lay dead a whole litter OF young
ones. They had been poisoned. The
mother had not eaten the doctored
food herself, but had carried it home
to Ter family. They must have died
IN the burrOW, for it was evident from
the signs that she had dragged them
out into the fresh air to revive them,
and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her per.
pleXlty She had brought various It'd
bits of mouse and bird and rabbit and
placed at their noses to tempt them
to wake up out OF their strange sleep
and eat as hungry children ought to
eat. Who knows how long she watch
ed beside the still forms. and what
her emotions were? She must have
left the neighborhood soon after. how
ever, for no one has seer her since
about the estate.-Dallas Lore Sharp,

concerns Dr.. Stuaely, the most famous

wait for the great mathematician, as
it was near lis hour for dining, and BY

An hour passed and Sir Isaac did not
appear. The hungry and philosophic
antiquary calmly ~devoured the fowl.

dish, requested the servant to get an
other bird prepared FOR his master.
Before the dish was ready, Sir Isaac
came down from his study, and, apollo
