STORING WINTER VEGETABLES
PROPERLY.
T. H. WHITE, Vegetable Gardener.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

II cellar like this Is not handy for
use and you have only small amount
of vegetables TO be stored. the kiln
method should be used. The kiln is sim
ply hole dug in the open ground, cir
cular in shape and less than a foot
deep. Into this the roots are poured
until they form conical pile couple
of feet high. A layer of straw or COW
ering material should be placed d.
rectly or the vegetables and the roots
are poured until they form a conical
heap as final cover. White potatoes,
turnips, and beets will all keep per
feetly this way. Carrots and satisfy
should be laid away more carefully.
These will last much better If instead
Of being dumped into the pile they
are placed in alternate layers with
sand between. All vegetables that are
to be stored should be kept In the
garden as late as possible. Do not,
however let them become very severe
iy frozen. Parsnips and satisfy will
keep very well in the garden where
they have grown. but are some times
very difficult to reach when snow is

LIME NECESSARY FOR SWEET
CLOVER GROWTH.
Dees Not Flourish IN Eastern soiIs
That Lack Lime
NICHOLAS scHMINTz.
Maryland Agricultural College
Experiment Station Service.

On our Maryland soils and most OF
the soils in neighbofing states. espe-
cially in the Coastal Plain section. it
is almost as dificult to grow sweet
clover as 1t is to grow alfalfa. In
other words. We find that in such OF
our soils as are worn out. outside OF
limestone areas require lime and In
oealation for the successful growth OF
sweet clever. the same as Is required
for alfalfa. This has been proven
quite thoroughly In many instances;
for example. the writer had notion
several years ago that the best way to
inoculate the soil for alfalfa in the
East was to frst grow sweet clover
at the same time this crop would be
Increasing the fertility--but he found
that in practically every case the
sweet clover refused to grow unless
the soil was lined and inoculatei.
In the higher elevated sectic :, where
cowpeas will not grow well. It may
under some conditions be advisable to
sow sweet clover. after lining and in
oculating, and then allow the land to
remain idle for few years in order to
give the sweet clover chance to build
up the fertility. But even this could
not be considered favorably where It
Is necessary to derive an Income from
the land while It is being improved,
For some reason, livestock ia the
East has not as yet taken as kindly to
pasturing on sweet clover as 1t has IN
the South and West Along our water
fronts in Maryland we have many
farms that have had sweet clover
growing on them for generations. but
It is seldom that cattle eat It in grazing.
They may go through wheat stubble
Acid, eat the grass and other clovers,
but leave the sweet clover. There Is
no question, however. but that they
could be taught by starvation to eat
and thrive on It, but 1t is doubtful II
they will thrive any better on sweet
clover thar on the common cloyers.
Sweet clover does not cure into hay
as well as alfalfa and the ordinary
clovers. In curing sweet clover the
leaves shatter OF very badly. so that
unless a great deal of care in thesproc-
ess Is exercised the hay will be little
more than stems; these. however. are
usually relished by all livestock II the
crop Is cut early enough so that the
stems are not too tough and woody.

CONDITIONS MAKE ECONOMICAL
POULTRY FEEDING NEcEs-
SARY.
ROY H. WAITE. Poultryman.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The economical use of feed for
poultry should be practieed at all
times, for in the poultry business. a
penny wisely saved is better than a
penny earned. During the present high
price of feed. there is more reason
for being economical. but being
economical does not mean cutting
down on feed, unless the fowls are
too fat. It does mean balancing the
amount of feed fed and the eggs or
meat produced so that the largest re-
turns In the shape of profits will be
realized. I have known people who
have fed their hens only the cheapest
feed. thinking theywere being econom-
ical and who eoald have. by addina
small amount Of some high protein
feed, turned their total loss into al
least small gain.

day night by Deputy Sheriff Arthur
Cheever on instruction from Lancaster
that she was wanted for breaking into
drug store with number of compan-

woman came here yesterday and secured
employment at the st. Johnsbury house.
1t is claimed that Miss Plume and a
party Of young women friends entered a
store in Lancaster and stole consider
able quantity of intoxicants.
When the woman was arrested she in
sisted that she was safe from arrest, as
she was in Vermont. As she evidently
was unaware of her constitutional right
to insist on extradition proceedings, she
consented to return to New Hampshire.
