weakness everywhere. Beginning with its

instructions For indoor and Outdoor
Storage In Winter. :.-..-..
The basement is often the best place
on the farm for storing vegetables.
says r. S. Gardner of the University of
Missouri 1t must be properly built
and the temperature, moisture and
ventilation conditions kept right If it
is too warm the vegetables will dry
and shrivel, and If the ventilation is
poor drops of water will form and the
vegetables. will be more likely to decay.
II there is furnace in the cellar the
storage room should be far enough
away so that it can be kept cool, and
during very cold weather the door may
be opened to prevent freezing.
Outdoor storage is better If the base
ment is too small or If it has not been
built so that the temperature and other
conditions can be properly controlled.
The vegetables may be gathered and
piled as closely together as possible
and covered with little straw at first
and more heavily as the weather grows
COAOcI uuLll severe weather CONES,
when six inches of soil should be add
ed. An opening should be left at the
top for ventilation. Cabbage should be
arranged in long piles, the bottom layer
three heads wide and the second layer
two heads wide. Leave the heads un-
trimmed and pile with the stems and
roots on.
Root crops may be stored outside
much as cabbages are. Both should be
covered with several inches Of straw
and the straw covered with dirt. In
severe weather layer Of manure
should be added. But it must be re-
moved in milder weather to prevent
heating and the condensation of mois-
ture into water drops. Such outdoor
storage is inconvenient because it is so
difficult to select day on which the
pile can be opened without freezing
some or all Of the vegetables stored.
This can be remedied in part by max
ing long piles which can be opened
without exposing much more Of the
contents to the cold than is to be re-
moved to shelter at once.
If a little celery has been grown it
may be left in the row if the exposed
tops are covered with straw and then
with earth when the weather becomes
severe. It is better to pull the stalks
and then reDlant them as close together

When to Feed Silaue,

silage may be fed as soon as the
s1lo Is filed. but for the first few days
will be nothing more than cut corn.
In short time. however. the change
to silage will have been completed,
and a uniform feed will be found
throughout the silo. If one begins to
use the material from the silo immedi-
ately after it is filed no seal is neces-
sary, and silage is saved. After open-
Ing silo it is necessary to feed about
two inches from the surface daily to
keep the silage from spelling.
Any spoiled silage which occurs in
the silo should be discarded. Cattle
will sometimes eat spoiled material,
but bad results often occur from this
source. In feeding horses one must
be extremely cautious in this regard,
as horses are much more susceptible
to disorder from spoiled silage than
are cattle.

The floors are hinged out, as shown,

night when it was thrown open to re-

wondrous voice and her gracious
manner at the concert in the Normal
auditorium earlier in the evening, and
who had graciously consented to meet
some of the Valley City people. Ow-
ing to the lack of time and room, and
also in order not to too severely tax
the strength and trespass on the good
nature of the singer, it was necessary
to limit the invitations to the faculty
Of the Normal school and the patrons

heard in the auditorium.
To say the least, everybody was
happy Saturday evening. People from
out-of-town districts of eask access to

The inception of this fight dates
back to the last session Of the legisla-
ture and it is said that the defeat of
the terminal elevator bill and the SUI
frage amendment lie at the root of all
the trouble. 1t is declared that the
immediate cause of the proposed fl
ing of the proposed suit against the
tax commission is the action taken by
a Mandan man in starting a test Of
the constitutionality Of the immigra-
ton law passed by the last legisla-
ture.
This law provides for the creation
of an immigration board of FIVE mem
bers and appropriates 100000 for the
support of it for the biennial term.
A hot fight developed, in the house
against this measure but pressure was
brought to bear in the last minute, it
is said, and it became a law. It was
later held up by referendum petition.
The suficiency of these petitions was
put up to the supreme court after
Secretary of State Thomas Hall had
declared them to be valid, and this
tribunal declares them insufficient
Chairman F. E. Packard of the tax
commission, is held by some to be a

sweet gracious manner with which she
responded to the extra call upon her
strength and patience, to stand for
hours after so strenuous an evening

strangers. But Nine. Gadski is of
that sweet disposition that enjoys
making others happy, and knowing
that so many wished to meet her, she
was kind enough to grant the favor
and all went away feeling that she
was one of the truly great artists. Her
daughter, Miss Lotto Tauscher, is a
very charming and sweet young lady,
unaffected and friendly, and the low

the committee, is rather complex.
Personal credit to business men ex-
tended by member banks Of the Fed
eral reserve system is based on short
term paper. It seems to be agreed
that such credit to farmers must run
from season to season.
Whether it is practicable to devise
a personal credit system that will con.
form to such conditions is the problem
that the committee is trying to solve.
Members of the committee in charge
say it will not be difficult to create
system for land credits, and they are
hopeful Of reaching compromise with
those who are advocating the principle
Of government aid. .ss5 5
It is altogether probable that when
congress comes to act it will at the
outset limit the rural credit system
to loans on land and other property
and defer action on personal credits
until the new system has been tested
on the limited scale indicated. Il
A rural credit bill will be introduced
in both houses of congress shortly
after the reassembling In December.
