SAVING
BY CAREFUL STORAGF
Best Results Obtained When the Temneratnre Is
Kept From IS to SIS Degrees; Pit Can Be Used
Where Farmer Lacks Storing Room.

With vegetables Of all kinds bring
ing top notch prices, it is highly i'm
portant to both producer and consum-
er to prevent as far as possible losses
due to improper methods Of STORAGE,
In the poorly ventilated root house
on the ranch and in the warm dry
cellars of the city dwelling thousands
OF dollars worth of vegetables an
nually become unfit for use because
OF unfavorable storage conditions.
The purpose Of this article is to state
the conditions under which the va j.
Gus vegetables can be kept to the
best advantage.
In the first place the vegetables
themselves must be of good quality
and free from bruises or disease.
They must not be stored too early or
piled so that any heating takes place
and they must not be subjected to any
atmosphere so dry that it will cause
excessive whiting and thus DESTROY
their quality.
Temperature Chief Factor.
Temperature is the most important
factor to consider IN the vegetable
store room. 1t should of course never
fall below freezing nor should it ever
become very warm. The best results
are obtained when the temperature
can be kept from IS degrees to so
degrees Fahrenheit. A low tempera-
ture can not be maintained without
a good circulation of air from the out
side which should be provided for by
means OF windows OF other OPENINGS.
Earthen floors are preferred to ce-
ment as they supply moisture to the
atmosphere and prevent willing
Bright light should be excluded.
Root crops such as beets. carrots,
1urnlps, and parsnips should be
topped as soon as pulled and stored
Immediately. Do not cut in to the veg
ctables to cause bleeding but cut the
top off about an inch above the
crown.
Exposure Causes Whiting.
Exposure to air and sun at digging
time causes willing and such crops
should Immediately be transferred to
the store room and placed upon the
earthen floor. If there is a cement
floor 1t is best to pack such crops in
boxes or barrels and cover the tops
with clean sand or sifted soil in which
there IS not much organic matter. A
portion OF the parsnip crop should
lett IN the ground and dug the fol-
spring as it is not injured but
rather improved by so doing.
Potatoes are kept best in wooden
bins which allow a good circulation of
air. If in sacks they should not be
placed upon earthen floors as this
causes the sacks to rot out at the
bottom.
Onions Should Be Dried.
Onions should be pulled and al
