A CRIB.
Letter in Southern RuraliSt.

Letter in Southern RurallSt.
In the fall Of 1913 we bought a
small farm. The crib on this place
was long and narrow, made Of logs
which were put on the ground with
out blocks, putting the floor almost on
the ground. This gave rats (Which
are very numerous here) a fine oppor-
tunity to destroy a large amount OF
corn, which they proceeded to dc. l
would rake enough shattered corn
every morning to feed over a hum
dred chickens, and there would be
a lot Of it wasted by falling through
the floor, which was very open.
My husband said he could not stand
that; he vas going to build a rat
| proof crib. We were not able to buy
| Write netting to cover a crib with all
| over, or to use any of h other meth
! DDS advised by the farmers bulletins
The idea was to build a crib that the
rats could not enter, with h least
expense. He had sufficient lumber
paid for, and mad the boards to
cover it. The blocks were sawed
about four feet high, and ar old zinc
tub was turned bottom upward on
each of them, the crib built on that,
putting a good tight floor in, with no
holes left around the walls. The corn
was then moved it, and there has
not been a rat in it since. The steps

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES
Two Methods Which Have Been
Found Successful

IF. A. Borton O. Cullman, Alabama.
in southern Ruralist.)
AS II Is about time to get up sweet
potatoes TO keep through the winter
for bedding out for spring plants. and
some to sell for higher prices in the
spring, the question Will naturally
come up. How can keep them best
l have two methods which have been
found successful and may be of bene-
fit to some who is in doubt as to a safe
plan.
First, if o nave space in your
barn, shed. or some dry place where
rain cannot blow in. take lumber and
build a frame, for example. 10 feet
wide, 90 feet long. and 1 feet high.
making a 4-inch wall all around the
frame. Fill the bottom with rushed
rock or coarse gravel and fill remain
der of wall with dry sand. This keeps
the cold INC wind u When frame
is ready, place about eight inches ~
dry hay, straw or pine needles in The
bottom, then place n layer of sweet
potatoes over entire surface, allow
ing them to just come together but
not be crowded. Care should be TAX
Ell that no cut, broken or bruised pc-
tatOeS are put away. for they are like
~ to spoil and cause sound mes TO
rot. Then place a layer about three
inches thick Of hay or pine needles.
tneil pOldtOeS again. ana so on until
last course is on. Put about one foot
of hay or pine needle covering on top.
with two inches of dry dirt or sand,
leaving open q strip four inches wide
the long way of the bed for ventila-
ton. This is absolutely necessary.
for they go through a sweat. and un-
| less ventilation is given will cause all
to spoil. Should extremely cold wea-
Their be predicted after first dirt is
placed upon the top. one or two more
inches may be added, but none al any
time over ventilated strip.
Second, a slightly drained place in
the field. Place hay or pine needles
on the dry ground about one foot
thick, then pile sound potatoes up in
cone shape, wide at the bottom and
taper up to a point. Using a layer OF
hay or pine needles betWeen potatoes
is not necessary in this method, but
would give good results. After pota-
toes are in, cover sides with hay or
pine needles about four inches thick
then take a shovel and pile dirt at
least six inChe or more over all pota-
toes, leaving open at the top a small
hole Of four or six inches for venti-
lation. The TOP layer hould be cov
cred with at least one foot Of hay be-
fore dirt is applied to sides. a shed

BUSINESS METHODS
THEATRES BIG NEED

Hrst whose good initial
performance sold the house out for
the rest of the week After years
Of such treatment is it any wonder
that those Of our city who can afford
it say that ~henceforth they will go to
the heater only in New York?
OF course, I realize that there are
not enough first companies to go
around. On the other hand, there
are SO many good actors looking for
work nat it is inexcusaable not to
give a reasonably good performance
even with a second II the
prices are lowered but II 1-2 per
cent for a second company, how is it
fair to cut the production so per
cent? Yet, as a matter OF fact, most
second productions must cost the
manager far less than half the cost
Of the original company. Is this good
business? And can it be expected to
pay in the long run
AS an Illustration of what can be
done l may cite Within the Law"
Greatly TO our disgust this success
was presented to us in an inferior
theater by a second company. 1t was
| greeted by a small, suspicious au-
dience. But it soon developed that
this company was but little inferior
to the original one. The audiences
grew n the company played a NC
ceSsful return engagement Now that
pleased US n paid the manager. In
other words, it was simply good bust
ness.
Furthermore. 1 understand that Mr..
Wanamaker will discharge a clerk
who is repeatedly discourteOus to Gus
Omers. In the theatrical business
however, experience has led me ia
believe that a discOurteous ticket sell
err gets his salary raised. They are
almost uniformly as grossly impolite
and unobliging as is possible; and
this is the unanimous testimony O.
every theatergoer with whom I have
cOnversed. Yet, how absurd this is
A business man of even subnOrma
common sense would know enough t

vance to be pleased by the perfor
nance. This is not a mere rhetorica
flourish. 1t is sound psychology Q
the kind that makes thousands TO
the men who are sane enough to us
