HANDLING POTATOES RIGHT
A PAYING PROPOSITION
Little Trouble Required To Make
Potatoes Which Have Become
Sweet Fit To Eat

The Maryland Experiment Station in
its Bulletin No, 1877 finds that potatoes
for eating purposes keep best at a tenn
perature of from $50 to 42o. They
keep best in well-ventiated cellar or
vault that is moderately dry. They
should not be kept in large heaps or
bins since this will cause them TO heat
and spoil. Heating is due to poor ven
tilation and rapid respiration of the
potatoes. Respiration is the change
that is constantly going on in stored
potatoes. 1t changes the starch and
sugar in potatoes Into carbon dioxide
gas and water. When the tempera-
lure falls below So in the storage
room, starch changes to sugar very
rapidly, the change being the most
rapid at from 90 to 32'.
The changing OF the starch in the
potato to sugar sweetens it so that it
is unfit for cooking purposes. If
potatoes, which have become sweet
through long exposure to low tempera-
lures. are brought into a room of TO-
to rs for week, about four-fifths of
the sugar will be changed back into
starch. the remaining fifth being lost
through respiration. a longer eX-
posture of three to four weeks in the
cellar or vault after the temperature
has risen TO 45 or so will remove
most q the sugar and make the potato
fit for use.

GREEN FEED MAKES
iLUR HENS LAY
Wheat Bran Proves Good Substitute
When Greens Get Short.
ROY il. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

If you are going to begin Matching
early, you should see that your breed
ing birds have plenty of green food
Green feed gives teen the necessary
amount of roughage to balance the
grain and meat you are giving them.
1t will keep them healthy and in good
breeding condition. If they have plenty
of green feed, you will have good
matches and strong chickens. You
probably have plenty of green feed on
hand just now, tuTnips, cabbages,
clover chalt. Very soon the rye or
wheat or vetch you seeded in your
runs last fall will be ready for them TO
pick at on sunny days. If you have a
small hot bed, and wish to take the
trouble. start sprouting oats in it. A
one-sash bed will keep a hundred hens
in green feed for some time, and is
much cheaper than any 'sprouter" you
can buy.
Even if you cannot get good supply
of green feed, you need not worry.
The Maryland Experiment Station has
found that wheat bran will go long
way lo"dlu tdhlhS tne pldCe vi green
feed. Hens fed on bran kept every
bit of green stuff in their runs eaten
up, but hens fed bran in a self-feeding
hopper ate only a part of the green's
in their runs and let the rest grow.
This shows that bran, to consider
able extent, can take the place of
green feed or rather that bTan-fed hens
may get but little green feed and yet
do we'll

For some reason Governor Stuart
thinks the figure proposed in my bin

That something be done. and that
at once is the opinion of the leading
bankers and business men of the city
as hank deposits have been with
drawn To such an extent for fear OF
the tax rate that several OF the largo
institutions have been forced to cut
down on their loans. This Is practi-
cally remedied now that the bill Is
practically assured and the passage of
the bill is said to do much In re-
lIeving any financial stringency that
confronts the business interests OF tho
cities OF Virginia.
