Storing Winter squashes.

Squash is one OF the most valuable
winter vegetables, and when fully ripe
and properly stored will keep until
spring.
Only well ripened squashes should
be stored and these should be gath
cred before frost. as frost of average
severity will impair their keeping
qualities. Never pull squashes from
the vines. but cut them off with n
knife, leaving about an inch of stem
attached. II the skin or shell is not
hard, keep the squashes in small piles
and uncovered during the day. but
covered during the night.
The furnace room is the best stor-
age. but any dry place having a tenn
perature of So to rs degrees is good.
Racks or shelves should be provided
SO that the squashes will not be over
two in thickness. The success 1f
keeping the squashes from decaying
depends largely upon high tempera-
ture and dryness. The dryer and
warmer the air in the storage room.
the harder the shell becomes and cor.
sequently the longer the squashes will
keep. A potato or vegetable cellar
is ordinarily a poor place to store
squashes.-E. p. Sandsten, Colorado

young pheasants were sent here from
Canon City by government represent
a tives to see what could be done in
the matter of growing these handsome
little creatures in this section of the
western slope and they were placed

ported that one OF the birds was cap
tured and killed by hogs and big
turkey gobbler had run down and
killed another. The others are said
to be doing well and there is yet hope
of making a success of the venture.
