PLAN TO STORE VEGETABLES
Bruises Form Place for Decay Germs
to Enter--Dry in Sun Before
Putting in Storage.

stBy H. o WERNER, North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Vegetables must be stored under the
conditions that will keep them in the
best condition for use,
In the first place they should be
handled carefully. Bruises form a
place for decay germs to enter. The
vegetables store pest if a little imma-
rure. Cabbage, celery ana root crops
keep best at low temperature, with a
fairly moist atmosphere and good ven
tilation. Onions keep best Just above
freezing in a dry atmosphere. Squash
and pumpkins need a dry atmosphere
at about nifty degrees. Celery when
dug IS really transplanted as it has
to be kept growing when in storage.
Dig it with good deal of soil on the
roots and plant closely in sand or
loose damp soil in a cool cellar or pit.
The root crops keep best when buried
in SAND or soil in cool place rhe
vegetables, excepting celery. will keep
better If well dried in the sun before
being stored.

sWEETEN SOIL FOR ALFALFA
Sourness Can Be Corrected by AppIi.
cation Of Air-SIaked LIme--Test
With Lltmus Paper.

Alfalfa with not do we'll on sour or
acid soil. Before growing alfalfa, the
soil should be tested with blue Iitmus
paper, which can be secured from a
druggist. Take a handful of moist
ened earth from few inches beneath
the surface OF the ground and press
into ball. Break this mud bah in
to halves and place strip of blue lit
mus on one of the halves and cover
with the o+Ser. After five minutes ex-
anime the iltmus paper, and if it mas
changed color from blue to a distinct
pink or becomes spotted with pink
spots, the soil is acid and needs lime
for successful alfalfa growing.
On sour soils from two to four tons
OF air-slaked lime or ground lime
stone rock or mari or lime refuse
should be applied. Whatever form is
used it should always be applied to
the surface of piowed land and mar.
rowed or disked In. It may be put
on in the fall or early sprtng-prior
to seeding the alfalfa Lime distribu
tors are desirable when large areas
are lined, but with small acreage it
can be conveniently spread with Q

GIVE HARNESS BEST OF CARE
When Placed Just 5ehInd Work Team
Leather Becomes Brittle ana Some
times Breaks Very Easily.

Many farmers hang their harness
in the Darn just behind the work team
so that 1t viii be handy when wanted.
OF course it is convenient and can be
thrown onto the backs of the horses
in few minutes, but there is a con.
siderable loss in hanging the harness
at the back end of the stall. s.
There is a constant passing of Of
ammonia from the manure behind the
harness and this has bad effect on
the leather of the harness. This is
the reason why a harness that is al
lowed to hang in stalls cracks and
dries out, becomes brittle and some
times breaks very easily. One would
have to keep the leather thoroughly
soaked with oil to prevent injury from
the action of the ammonia. e
Then there is danger of harness be-
ing thrown down into the manure Of
the stable by the constant passing OF
the horses from the lot into the stalls.
When it is thrown down and tramped
into the manure it is filthy to handle
and is injured by the action of the
damp manure.
The best plan is to have room IN
the barn IN which to hang the haT-
ness. 1t is even better to nang it in
the hallway than over the manure.
The room need not be large. Every
thing in it may easily be kept in
proper order, and ali repair material
should also be located here. This
room should be free from mice and
rats, for these rodents are destructive
to leather.

SMILE BRINGS CUSTOM
PLEASANT FACE ALWAYS AN AS
SET IN BUSINESS.
Experiments Also Have Shown That
Joy Stimulates All the Bodily
Functions, Especially the Cir T
culatIon Of Blood to Brain.


There is a Chinese proverb which
should be memorized and taken to
aeart by every young man starting on
business career, says H. Addington
Bruce.
1t is short and easily remembered.
Here it is:
"A man without smiling face must
not open shop @
Applied specifically to the business
of shopkeeping the little proverb may
be applied with equal force to almost
every vocation in which a man
can engage.
In one particularly interesting set
of experiments man was required to
press a spring until fatigue paralyzed
his finger. This was repeated at in
tervals in order to determine definite
ly the average number of pressures
he could make at a single sitting.
Then he was required to press the
spring while thinking of something
extremely sad. At once his average
pressure power was noticeably low
Iered.
/ Whereas when he allowed his mind
! to dwell on exceptionally pleasing
thoughts he was able to press the
spring far oftener than when his mind
was occupied with nothing in par
| ticular.
Other experiments have proved that
| joy stimulates all the bodily func-
tions and stimulates especially the
circulation of blood in the brain, with
resultant Improvement in the ability
to think rapidly and clearly.
| Accordingly joy must be regarded
as body builder and mind developer
Of the first order. If only for this
reason the man about to engage in
business should cultivate the habit of
happiness.
But joy does more than this. If it
| is q tonic that helps man to carry
on his business more efficiently, it is
also magnet that draws to him
more business wherewith to demon
strate his efficiency.
Everybody is attracted by a smil-
ing face, and especially by the smil-
ing race that speaks eloquently or
inward joy and self-confidence. Every
body is repelled by the gloomy coun-
tenance that testifies to self-distrust,
and hints at present or expected fail
ure.
In the one case people unconscious
ly say to themselves:
Here is a forceful, capable, genial
fellow. It will be pleasurable and safe
to do business with him. He can evil
IDENTIFY make good his promises =
In the other case their unconscious
comment is:
There is something wrong with
this man. Best keep away"
Gloom. to put it tamely, is mar
velous business killer. Joy is an
equally marvellous business winner

DIG HOLES BY HORSE POWER
BY Use of Soil Anger Farmer Is En-
abIed TO Avoid Much Manual La
Dor and Twisting Of Back.

y A soil auger by means Of which the
farmer may make mis- horse do the
heavy work OF post-hole digging, in
stead of twisting his own arm and
back muscles, is here shown. The out
fit is simple to operate. The horse
pulls rope through a grooved pulley,
this action revolving the auger. All
the auger operator has to do is to
press downward on the handles. When
the auger is full the horse is stopped
and the earth shaken out. This IS re-
peated until the hole is of the desired
depth. From 35 to As feet OF rope is
pulled out to complete a three-foot
hole, nine inches in diameter In maxi
ing the first hole, a stake is driven
into the ground to fasten the anchor
cable to. After the first hole is bored,
an anchor post is used, the anchor
cable serving to measure the distance
from hole to hole, as well as to keep
the auger upright during the boring.

GENTLY matured, too much acid de-
velops. If too ripe, it does not settle
properly and the air is not excluded.
Corn should not be cut until the
ears are out of the milk and most of
the kernels glazed and hard.
The corn should be cut with a corn
binder, as it is much more easily
handled when bound in bundles. II
the silage cutter is large and the work
is done with good force of men, the
corn binder should have a start of
half day If enough horses are used
IN the binder to keep it moving at a
good pace the corn can be cut down
as fast as it can be put into the siio.
Using a small cutter with a large en-
gine is dangerous unless great care is
exercised IN controlling the power.
If silage is to keep well it must
settle evenly To this end the leaves
and the heavier parts OF the corn
must be kept thoroughly mixed and
evenly distributed in the silo. Owing
to the great pressure of silage, fric-
ton with the sides OF the silo has a
tendency to make the silage less COM
pact at the edge, and for this reason
It should be thoroughly tramped next
the side. Every time three or four
inches of cut material is added to the
silo it should be tramped thoroughly
around the edge, taking short steps
and packing the siiage as much as
possible next to the wall These pre-
cautions must be observed during fill
ing to obtain perfect silage.
After filling, the top six inches
should be wet once and the whole sur
face tramped every day for week to
obtain o thin, compact layer of we'll
rooted silage which will exclude the
air.
Properly prepared, corn silage is.
as rule, the most economical succu-
lent food that can be obtained for
dairy COWS at season when pasture
is not available. Although not pai-
anced ration in itself, it tends to
heavy milk production and economical
milk can be made by feeding corn
,silage and iegume nay without the
use of much grain.

physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide

country's Salt Consumption.

Most persons, if asked which we use
the more of, salt or sugar, would prob
ably say sugar, but the staticians at
Washington figure that the per capita
consumption Of salt in the United
States last year was almost exactly
100 pounds, and of sugar 1914. The
statement is, however, somewhat mis-
leading. No person could eat two
pounds of salt week and expect to
live. Much that is set down to the
per capita consumption is really used
in curing meat and fish that later on
are exported, and in making pickles
and freezing ice cream We consume
more ice cream than ali the rest of the
world put together.-Youth's Compan-
