STORAGE OF SWEET POTATO
Ordinary Cave or Cyclone Cellar
Makes Very Acceptable House
Crates Give Best Results.

(By N. o. BOOTH, Department Of Horti-
culture. Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege)
Sweet potatoes should be kept in a
building which is almost impenetrable
to outside heat or cold. One of the
best buildings We have found for this
purpose is the ordinary cave or cy-
clone cellar. Such a cave, IL fitted
with double ventilators, makes a very
acceptable sweet potato storage
house.
The potatoes themselves had best
be stored in crates, although racks
give quite good results. AS soon as
they are taken from the field into the
house, fire should be started In the
stove. and the temperature run up to
100 to ITO degrees. This should be
kept up from four to ten days until
the potatoes are perfectly dry. The
temperature should then be allowed
to fall and by opening the doors at
night and closing them early In the
morning the temperature should be
kept down to between As and so de-
grees. In this manner sweet pota-
toes may be kept ordinarily quite sat
isfactorily.

PROPER CARE OF HENS NEST
Eggs Should Be Gathered Often to
Prevent Chilling and 6reakage-
Keep Fowls Comfortable.

II the weather is cold the eggs
should be gathered several times a
day, so there will be no chance of their
being chilled, as this would injure
their keeping qualities.
II gathered often there is also less
chance OF their being broken and the
hens learning to eat them. When the
hens are confined in the house and a
small yard, they are more likely to
quarrel over the nests and scratch
them out, and IL the nest has several
eggs in It they are then sure to be
broken.
AS soon as an egg is broken the
hens win eat 1t, and after a few times
they viii have acquired the egg-eating
habit. The only sure cure for this IL
the az.
Keep the nest clean and supplied
with plenty OF soft straw or hay.
Break up the straw with the hands
before putting in the nest. The COM
fort Of the hens should be considered
on the nest as well as anywhere else.

CEDAR RUST DISEASE
Trouble Is Very Abundant in
Some Eastern Sections.
Orchards In Vicinity Of Cedar Thick
cts Usually Suffer More Severely
Than Those Which Are Stu
ated Some Distance Away.

The cedar rust Of apples is more or
less widespread In the eastern and
central portions Of the United States.
It is reported from New Hampshire to
North Carolina on the Atlantic sea-
board and westward as far as Iowa
and Nebraska. The disease is not
found except In regions where both
apples and red cedar grow. The red
cedar is very abundant In some parts
Of the eastern states, and in those sec
tons there is great deal more Of the
disease than in any other portion. The
principal reason for this lies in the
fact, that, along with the abudance Of
cedar trees, the large commercial ap-
pie orchards contain many varieties
which are particularly susceptible to
the disease. Orchards in the vicinity
of cedar thickets have usually suf-
fered more severely than those which
are situated at some distance. The
injury is more marked If the orchard
is on the leeward side of the cedar
thickets, where the spores of the dis
ease may be continually borne in by
prevailing winds, but all orchards Of
susceptible varieties of apples suffer
more or less from the cedar rust Two
years ago, the financial loss to apple
growers in the state of Virginia alone
was estimated to be upwards of one
half million dollars, and this did not
take into account the loss due to
weakness Of the trees and to impairing
the vitality OF the fruit buds for the
following year, which would surely
diminish each succeeding crop.
The cedar trees in the vicinity Of
apple orchards develop, during the
winter and early spring, large num-
Der of corky gals, which are common
ly spoken of as cedar apples. These

ESSENTIAL FOR LAYING HENS
Il 10 Of Much Importance That Ample
Supply Of Grit and Lime Be Kept
Before Fowls Always.

A poor hen never lays. She must
have surplus fat to make the yolk.
The old theory that hens do not lay
because they are too fat is no longer
believed, as 1t has been found out
that as the yolk is composed of fat, IL
follows that she must have more fat
than she needs to keep up her condi-
ton to produce eggs.
But unless you keep them supplied
with something with which to grind
up their food in order to make 1t into
eggs, all your grain and labor are an
absolute waste. They must have grit.
good, sharp grit. Keep box filed
and always before them of cracked
china, sand and oyster shells, of equal
parts.
Lime, too, is quite as necessary, as
the shell Of an egg is composed Of
lime. A box of air-slaked lime should
be kept always at hand. One should
have barrel or so Of it on hand every
fall, and use it freely about the hen
house. Sprinkle It beneath their
perches after cleaning out each morn
ing. and always keep in the nestboxes
to absorb the dampness.
When the nights are very cold, IL
is a good plan to heat the grain very
hot in the oven before feeding, and
always remember to feed early enough
SO that they can see to get It.
A hot mash made OF Indian meal
and some kind Of small grain, and wet
up with hot water is good for break

boards so that all can get their share.

Remember, the hens are early
risers, and do not keep them waiting
for their breakfast II you want them
to ill the egg basket. They will re
pay all such courtesy.

THE PERIODS OF CESSATION
Approximate Figures Given for Com
mon Farm Animals-considerable
Variation is Likely.

So many inquiries have been re-
ceived relative to the period of gesta.

give the following brief statement of
the approximate periods: Mares,
II months; COW, 2S5 days; sheep. 5
months; goats, months; SOW. 4
months: dog. So days; cat, so days;
rabbit, 80 days; squirrel. 2S days; rat.

days; guinea-hen, Is to rs days: geese,
q to SO days: ducks. "a to rs days;
hen. 10 to "a days; canary birds, Is to
IL days.
II must be remembered that the
above figures are only approximate
and that considerable variation will be
experienced. For example, q record of
764 COWS showed a shortest period of
go days and longest period Of 313
days, with an average Of 2S5 days.
A record Of Is sows showed en-.
tremos Of log and 123 days while rec
era Of another ten sows showed
periods varying from 101 to 116 days.
The age. breed, condition. care and
feed OF animals affect the length OF
their period Of CESSATION.

grains.
The small potatoes and the potato
parings and trimmings from other
vegetables used in the house can be

mixed with them, just enough to take
up the surplus moisture, so that the
mixture will not be sloppy This

mixed the meat scraps.
Beef bones and scraps should be run

Skim milk costs really nothing on
the farms, and if the hens have all of
1t they will drink, they will not eat so
much other food.
II these cheap feeds are handled
right, it will leave only the last feed
at night to be of the high-priced
grains, and If we'll fed during the day
on these other things, they will not
eat so much Of it then.
They should have a good feed Of
grain, mostly corn, for their supper, in
order to keep them healthy and sup.
ply bodily heat during the cold
weather.
BY following these suggestions, the
hens can be almost entirely kept on
the waste products of the farm, and
what is received for the eggs will be
nearly all profit.
II properly housed and given plenty
of clean water to drink, they will lay
well on this bill Of fare. and we can
rejoice over good supply of eggs
when the prices are soaring.

three weeks old. After this we give
them good feed Of wet corn meal
every night and morning and all the

more grain until fall The goslings do

PREPARING FOR DEAR EGGS
Hatches From Which Early Pullets
Are Derived That Are Largest
Money Producers for Farmer.

II the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are Ger.
tain to bring next fall and winter, he
should begin to get ready for them
say the poultry specialists in the
department The way to have eggs
late in the year is to hatch pullets
early. 1t is the early matches from
which the early pullets are derived
that are the largest money-makers
for the poultry producer. The early
Matched cockerels can be marketed
in almost any market In America when
they attain weight Of three-fourths
of pound and a pound to a pound
and half each, which they should
reach at about six to ten weeks of age,
respectively, at greater profit to the
producer than at any other time of
their lives. The early Matched pull
lets, II properly grown, should begin
to lay in the fall at the time when
eggs are scarce and high in price.
Pullets must be we'll matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets In will, as
rule, lay all winter.
It Is the early Matched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March and April are the
months to do your Matching in order
to secure early Matched pullets.
Yearlng and two-year-old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as they
are Noting at that time, and the feed
they consume goes not. only to keep
up the energy and life of the birds, but
also to put on or grow a new coat of
feathers.
In properly matured pullets all saT-
plus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements OF the body
is available for the production of
eggs.

Ing the day open the door and set up
the lath door, and button 1t on with
wooden buttons.
You will see how quickly the fowls
will get to the fresh air and shake out
their feathers. II is well to have a
good supply of fresh litter with small
grain thrown into K, at hand to keep
them busy. There is little danger of
their getting chill, even on very
cold days.
One of the most essential things l
know OF for success with winter egg
raising is to have everything perfect
ly dry. Dampness and thrift never
dwell together. Never give water in
troughs, for in this manner too much
of it gets emptied. The best method
for watering fowls that have ever
tried is stone milk crooks.

GET EGGS IN WINTER
Nothing More Satisfying Than

Fowls Should Be Kept Comfortable

ing hens.
Some seem to have the knack Of
getting eggs in winter. while others
are forever complaining. To be sue
cessful, one must use judgment. No
fool can succeed in this line of busi-
ness.
Laying hens should have the best of
attention. They should be kept COM
Portable both night and day, and fed
regularly on clean food, and pure wa
ter should be kept ever before them.
Plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and
clean quarters are absolutely neces-
sary to the production of winter eggs,
Many make the mistake of having
too many windows. The fowls gather
in the sunshine during the day and
get too warm, and consequently feel the
night chill more. There should be at
least one large window on the south
side and one in the east side, but 1t
should be so arranged that the fowls
cannot get nearer to them than a dis
lance of two feet at least. See to II
that there are no cracks to admit the
wind at night, but remember that a
little outside air, during the day, when
the fowls are moving about, is good
thing.

All kinds OF grain, both whole and
ground, are so high in price that 1t
will pay US to study how to feed the
hens as cheaply as possible and still
secure good results.
Bran is heavy expense, and the
amount used can be greatly lessened
by feeding cut clover, or cowpea hay.
These contain the same elements as
wheat bran and are very palatable for
the hens when steamed
Cut or break the hay into small
pieces, pack into a tub or bucket and
pour over 1t all the boiling water 1t
will absorb, then cover closely and let
stand thirty or forty minutes before
feeding. In the winter when the hens
cannot get green grass they relish this
very much.
Sprouted grains are another cheap
food This was sold few years ago
as a poultry secret" Of feed al fifteen
cents a bushel Oats are generally
used for this, although wheat, rye and
other grains are as good.
The grain should be soaked for
twenty-four hours, or even thirty-six
hours, in warm water, then spread

go to show, however, that II an orchard
