STORAGE FOR SWEET POTATO
Keeping Qualities Depend Upon Va.

Handling at Digging Time.

The keeping qualities OF the sweet
potato depend upon the variety grown.
tho type OF soil In which II was grown.
and the methods OF handling at dig

will produce rough, cracked potatoes.

Too much caro- cannot be spent In
digging the potato. II carelessly dug
and handled the potatoes become
bruised. hence they very easily rot.
When digging Il Is best first to cut
tho vines. preferably with a vine cut,

with n regular sweet potato digger.
Tho diggers are similar to n plow but
have fingers attached to n short mold.

The successful keeping OF sweet

principles;
1. Harvest potatoes before they

No one so utterly desolate,
But some heart, though unknown,

1t has often been noticed with con-
siderable wonder that the fairest OF
girls to look upon has possibly been
left alone in loves race at some one
time by a tickle lover. At the time
when he took his departure It
seemed that there was no more trying

girl to find herself placed in than this
turn in her devotion. There Is moth.

rescue.
There were circumstances that she

ing, for that would but humiliate her
the more.
Her only course to pursue is to treat
him entirely as If he were a newcomer
she knew scarcely anything OF. This
would require polite indifference on
her part. a Iadylike way which is plain
er than words can speak: Your I'M
worthiness has not broken this heart!"
Most all men are cnivalrous by nature.
Few II any would be base enough to
look down upon a worthy girl for
this ause. Pity is akin to love. She
seems more beautiful and more re-
fined. because OF her pitiful treatment
and her return OF good for evil.
Silence was golden to her. She
could not DO induced to go from one
end Of the town to the other and to
rake him over the Goals, as he de-
served. She avoided him when she
could. Her face wore a sweet express
sion and she did not despise all men
on account of one mans doing. Mr..
Right was one OF the many whom
she appealed to. He took an active
part In aiding needy charities; made
unknown contributions to the poor
and suffering. 1t proved best and
providential that her former lover
freed her, as 1t was the means OF gain
ing q better and devoted husband, who
dearly appreciated her true value by
making her life rosy and happily
blest.
