P1.oW1NG SHOULD BE DONE IN
THE FALL

No rule can be laid down for plow-
ing that will hold for all conditions or
linas Of soil, but with very few excep'
tions fall plowing will be followed by
better crops than spring plowing. The
action of the frost in disintegrating the
soil particles is favorable in produc-
ing available plant food. The compact
ing Of the soil by freezing and thaw-
ing is likely to give better moisture
conditions also, except on extremely
wet soils. Fall plowing destroys many
ct tho weeds starting from seeds germ
mated early in the fall besides de-
stroying the nests of many injurious
insects. These factors all bear on the
yield Of the crop.
Quite as important reason, per-
haps, for getting all of the blowing
possible done in the fall is the better
distribution of the labor on the farm.
The planting season is short and if
seeding must be held back in the spring
Will, plowing is done, late seeding re-
suits, and in the hurry, plowing is
likely to be poorly done. Late seedir'
OH poor spring blowing means small
crop and smaller profits. Fall blowing,
even as late as November Is, will save
time in the spring, and is almost sure
to result in better crops.-Andrew Boss,
Agriculturist, University Farm, st.
Paul.

LOUIS LaFoND VICTIM OF AcCI-
DENT WHILE FROM \

STORING POTATOES

The place for storing potatoes shoulc
have plenty of ventilation. Bins ought
not to be over eight feet square anG
should have slat walls with hollow par.
t;tions, or there should be plenty Of
ventilating tubes with slat sides reach
ing from top to bottom Of the bin
Where bins are as large as eight feet
square ventilating tube in the middle
OF each one would be desirable. Ven
tilation helps to carry off moisture
thus keeping the potatoes dry an0
making it possible to cool them off
quickly in the fall and keep them COO
curing the winter.
The best temperature for potatoes i.
as near 35 degrees Fahrenheit as pos
sible. A good tested thermometer OF
several in different locations and al
different heights should be kept in thu
cellar and watched at frequent l.
tcrvals.
In putting potatoes into storage
cellar they should be run over {
s"1een that will take out the dirt
Large potato cellars should be filed il
layers so as to give the potatoes thu
best possible opportunity to cool of
and dry. Dumping whole days dig
ging in one place is not the bes
practice.
The best method for keeping mois
tire from collecting on the inside o.
the roof Of p,tat. cell. IS to cove
the with straw or s;.awy manure
Giving plenty of ventilation also helps

A few days ago one of the oldest
residents and a leading business
man said, calling my attent-

of some nice residences, that it was
a marvel to him that SO many house
keepers who were so very particular
about their personal appearance and
the inside of their dwellings were
so Indifferent about litter in front
of their homes, brought about large

or boxes to be carted away. With
little care this can be avoided by
putting in covered boxes or tying
up.
