SWEET POTATO SUSCEPTIBLE TO FROST
Lined and UnIlmed Sweet Potatoes,

fled one. Large handlers store them in dry rooms having good ventilation and keep the temperature at rom oo degrees to 65 degrees F. when tn9 tubers are first put in storage ana are going through the sweating period lhe temperature is run up to 80 degrees ! . The common method of storage lS u mt the tubers in a cone-shaped pic containing 30 to 50 bushels. Over the nile layer of fine dry straw or nay then q layer of corn stalks, and on the ton of this two or three inches of dry sand is placed. The whole is then banked two or three inches deep With heavier soil.
 In South Carolina many growers store their sweet potatoes in cotton seed huIls and dry sand, and they keep very well. A good crop Of sweet potatoes will run from 200 to 400 bush els per acre. The cost of production is about $20 per acre. In some iecail- ties sweet potatoes are grown exteh- siyely for stock. Hogs relish them and do their own digging. For horses and cattle the roots should be sliced. Sweet potatoes contain i to $ per cent of sugar and 16 to IS per cent of starch. They contain considerably more fat than Irish potatoes and. on the whole, have somewhat greater food value.
The Monticellonian., 1915-12-30

The sweet potato is probably native to tropical America. It is tender to frost and is not grown commercially to any extent north of New Jersey. In gardens it is grown as far north as Maine and Michigan. It is exten- and in California. The chief states of production are the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas. Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and New Jersey.
 Sweet potatoes may be gathered for the table as soon as they are large enough. The main crop should be left in the ground until the tubers mature. This is told by breaking the tubers and exposing them to the air. If they are mature enough for storing, the original color is maintained; if not, the broken surface turns a black or greenish color. In any case they should be gathered immediately after frost. Before digging the vines are cut and cleared away and the tubers then dug with hill sweep blow or like tool. After drying in the sun for few hours they are gathered into small piles, where they remain until removed from the fields.
 Sweet potatoes do not keep long un. der the best method of handling and the most efficient method of han ding and of storage is still an unset

PRESIDE GARDENING

Each year should add something to the wisdom of the gardener. To sue ceed the planting must be the outcome of continued thought.
 In the leisure of the winter days the various bulletins and reports from the many organizations should be as tools to the ambitious gardener.
 The mere facts they contain are not so valuable as the suggestions and en, thusiasms for which they are respon, sible, as no sensible person can read these pamphlets by practical men without wishing to emulate their sue eesses or avoid their failures.
 The years gardening should be mapped out and planned by the winter tireside. Formulas for insecticides and fungicides should be familiarized and the material for their compromising should be procured
 Apparatus for applying them should be studied, made or purchased
 Markets and marketing should be carefully considered and the whole business gone over from various points of view.

BEST KIND OF FARM TO BUY
May Be Mistake in Selecting We'll Earned Land Rather Than Soil
 That Has Been Neglected.

Most people in buying a farm would select the land which has been well farmed, rather than the neglected soil. This might be mistake.
 Many a so-called rundown" farm is not in such bad state after all. It has not been farmed well enough to run it down except in spots and on the surface
 The real soil robber is the man who blows deeply. tills well, and makes the land give up everything there is in it. and puts nothing back. In ten years he will run down farm more than a shiftless cut-and-coverer will do in thirty.
 Tillage stimulates every exhaustive process in the soil. r speeds up the formation of nitrogen and the work ing up of humus. Because of the large crops which it forces from the soil it takes off great amounts of lime and tends to produce acidity. It draws heavily on the nitrogen, potash and phosphorus.
 To be sure one doesn't often see such farming, for the man who is smart enough to give the ground the best treatment in tillage usually is intelligent enough to keep up the fer tility. But the greatest soil stimu- lant in the world is good tillage.
 Is that an objection to it? Not at all.
 The object of all good farming is to stimulate the processes of produc- tion Those who speak of fertilizers as soil stimrlants should remember that they are no more such than barn. yard manure or the fifth time of blow ing the corn. Only now that we are able by one method or another to stimulate greater production we must beware what we do with the power It is more effective tool for scoop ing out the fertility in the soil.
 Unless we keep up the balance by manures or fertilizers, we shall make the mistake of the man learning to draw large checks without making deposits.

AGE FOR WEAVING THE F0AL
Period Will Vary With Conditions, But Should Be From Five to Six
 Months-Feed Some Grain.

tBy F. ". BELL. Agricultural College
 of TeXasl
 The age at which the foal should be weaned will vary somewhat with con ditions, but will be from five to six months Of age If the mare is not fur nishing much milk, or is needed for steady work, the foal can be weaned at four and one-half to five months old. If, on the other hand, the mare has full flow of milk. and is not needed for hard work, there is no need to wean the colt before it is six months old
 If the foal has been given little grain from the time 1t is a month or six weeks old gradually increasing the amount to meet his appetite, he will gradually reduce the milk flow or the mare so that the weaning proc ess will be a very simple one for both mare and foal When they are separat. ed they should be kept entirely apart. for the Weaning will require much longer if the mare and colt are near enough to hear and see each other
 To dry up the mare after she is taken away from the colt. her grain ration should be cut down and some of the milk should be drawn from her udder three or four times a day, grad ually decreasing this until the flow ceases entirely After weaning it is best to work the mare right along, but if she is not worked her grain ration should be very materially reduced until she is dry.

BALANCED COW RATION
HOme-GroWn or Purchased Pro-
 tein Must Be Fed.
Wise Is the Man Who Has supply of Legume Forage on Hand-Sug- eestion Made by Expert of
 Missouri College Station.

Most feeders of dairy COWS can pro- duce protein more cheaply than they cay buy it, according to c. H. Eckles of the dairy department of the Mis- souri College of Agriculture. Wise is the man who has good supply Of legume forage on hand from his al falfa clover, cowpeas, or soy bean fields, for the dairy COW cannot do her best on corn, timothy hay, or fodder even with good, succulent silage to help maintain summer pasture condi- tions.
 Bran at a dollar hundred furnishes protein at cost of about eight and a half cents pound, while cotton seed at S1.90 a hundred furnishes 1t at cost of little over five cents a pound. The cost of producing the protein on the farm in alfalfa, clover, or other leguminous crops varies with local conditions, so that no such def1- nite figures can be given, but almost any farmer could be able to supply himself at much less than five cents a pound. If he has neglected to do so. however, he must purchase pro tein in some form to supplement the abundance of silage and corn which he undoubtedly had on hand under Missouri conditions.
 Feeding two pounds of cottonseed meal a day to a COW that has been giving milh on such a ration as corn, fodder, and timothy hay will increase the flow to a surprising degree. In spite of the many things that have combined to raise the price of cot tonseed meal this year, it is probably the cheapest concentrate to buy for this purpose.
 Some good dairy rations which Pro lessor Eckles suggests in Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station Cir cular A are:

BEST FERN FOR LIVING ROOM
By J. r. GRANGER.

The best fern for the living room depends on the temperature of your living room, If your room is heated with hot water you can grow ferns in 1t that would soon die if kept in a room heated by steam, or hot air, or a wood fire. For such a room I would advise Whitman's, one of the most beautiful varieties of recent introduc- tion.
 It is sprout from the old Boston fern. It has shorter fronds than that variety. but they are broader. and the leaflets on them are developed into miniature fronds, thus making it d most graceful plant, when well grown. Its fronds have plumelike effect that make a fine specimen of one of the most ornamental of decorative plants.
 Give 1t soil of leaf-mold, or turfy matter, keep it we'll watered and out of the sunshine, and 1t will do well in rooms where the heat is not in- tense or dry I would not advise try ing to grow it under other conditions.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM

No flower can boast of a more aristo= cratic ancestry than the ehrysanthe- mum. There is reason for it's naughty demeanor and often insolent expres. sion For the golden aaring yellow beauty is able to trace its lineage back to the royal gardens of some forgotten mikado, who admired its forefathers many centuries ago.
 The origin of the flower as the pet of royalty is lost in the cary twilight of eastern history; 1t was probably cultivated in the early days of Confu- cius, and has certainly been treasured in the Orient from time immemorial. The emblem and crest of the mikado of Japan are the leaf and flower of the chrysanthemum.
 The first appearance of the flower in Europe was probably in 1764, when specimens found their way to the bo- tanical gardens in old Chelsea. Eng land. These were only small yellow things and did not arouse much en- thusiasm. Not very much was done with the chrysanthemum in England until about 1885.
 Method of chrysanthemum culture given by leading horticulturist is as follows: To produce the best results, the young shoots should be planted in three-ineh pots early in the spring, and in six weeks transferred to fve-inch pots. As soon as the plants have at tained height of nine or ten inches they should be '.pinehed back" that is an inch or so of the center of the plant should be pinched off. This causes the plants to become "bushy,' as il checks the tendency of all upward, spindly growth. If fine plants are de- sired this pinehing back process should be repeated every two weeks until August. The plants will by that time have attained height of about two feet By October they will have increased another foot in height and each plant will have from fifteen to thirty shoots.

GRADERS MUST BE LICENSED
Cotton Exporters and Buyers Take MIL lions of Dollars Out of Pockets
 of Southern People.

CBv HON JOHN L. MLAURIN, State Warehouse Commissioner of South Car oliua in Progressive Farmer1
 The United States government has established standard grades for cot ton, and yet every year the cotton ex- porters and buyers in every state in the South take millions of dollars out of the pockets of the people by systematically undergrading cotton. I myself have shipped cotton from South Carolina to New York to be delivered on contract there. and in one instance the grades given me by the New York cotton exchange were 65 points above that of the local buy CTS in the town of Bennettsville.
 There must be some law passed that will not only adopt the definite and fixed standards of the United States government. but the graders must be licensed and required to grade that cotton accurately. Why, think of the system of grades upon which cotton is bought and sold in the open mar kets in the towns of South Carolina, and the way it is praetieed in the ex changes of this country. If you buy loo bales through the New Orleans or New York exchange. and that cotton is rendered to you. the man who ten ders it is not permitted to grade it; you are not permit ed to grade it; but they have sworn, disinterested grad CTS and the graders do not know to whom that cotton belongs. It is car ried to them on numbers, and they grade it without the slightest knowl- edge as to it's ownership. Now, you take it in South Carolina. and every bit of the grading is done by the pur chaser of the cotton. You have either got to let him have your cotton that way, or not sell at all When he goes to tender it on contract it is done dis interestedly, and l doubt exceedingly if there is one bale of cotton out of one thousand that is bought in South Carolina in the open market from the farm that when the buyer comes to sell it to the mill he doesn't make profit on the grading over and above the price that he pays you for the cotton.

WAYS OF RUNNING ELEVATOR
Four Plans Described, None of Which Is Road to Success Without Work
 and Capital

There are four ways of running an elevator. all of them successful and all of them permanent
 First, an elevator may be run by one man.
 Second. an elevator may be run by a partnership.
 Third. an elevator may be run by cooperation, which is another form of partnership with a large number of partners.
 Fourth, an elevator may be run by a partnership in another form. cor poration.
 All four forms have equal rights under the law. None of them should have special privilege. None of them is a royal road to success without work and capital.

DIVERSIFIED PLAN IN FAVOR
Farmer to Be Successful Must Know Something of Poultry as We'll
 as Hogs and Cattle.

Many skilled mechanics and work men. even though sober and industri- ous, are hardly able to make a living by following their trades on account of not having steady employment. Shops will shut down or work half time or less: mines will work half time in winter and close in summer and therefore, for those who work in such places. there are seasons when they must look elsewhere for a job. writes w. s. Crogan of Dubois. H.. in Farm Progress. Lucky is the man or woman among them who knows something of farming Were it not for the little truck patch and the chicken yard many people would fare badly.
 The same condition prevails with the farmer today. To be successful he must work on diversified system. He must know something of poultry raising as well as growing cattle and hogs You talk with most any farm CT who is getting along reasonably. and he will admit that the poultry grown on his place makes it possible for him to bank a little money. It is plain to me that it is necessary for a man to know several things well if he is to get along in the farm ing business.
 Get knowledge. if you lack it. In your own neighborhood there is all ways man more successful than the average Watch him, talk with 1im and question i'm. Take teaching from him. He is usually willing to give it. A man must have knowledge in the shop and the mine and most of all on the farm.
