STORING Cahhaqe.

Owing TO the low prices for cabbage
this year. many growers are turning 10
some method of storing the crop. says
Albert 4. Wilkinson In the Country
Gentleman, One of the cheapesi and
most satisfactory methods is to put the
severed heads i'm square pile In the
woods. where the trees are thick
enough SD that the direct rays of the
sun cannot penetrate.
The ground should be cleared of un-
derbrush and the cabbage laid with
butts up. The pile should have sides as
straight as possible aud should be tiar
on top, Over this pile of cabbage put
straw or leaves 10 the depth of one
foot
As soon as the snow falls 1t should
be packed down over the pile. The
cabbage will keep in perfect condition
throughout the winter.

Kettle River Company Steadily
Improving Stone Cutting Plant

The Kettle River company has
been making some extensive i'm
provements at the local stone cut
ting sheds during the past few
months, The building itself has
been increased in size about 50
per cent by large extension OH
the south end, which now makes.
a very large room for stone cut
ting purposes. Several large and
very expensive machines have
also been added. These include a
big laythe on which round pillars
of stone are turned out and pol
ished, another machine which has
a round saw in the shape of a tin
can and which forms the big
round pillars in the rough, one
exceedingly large diamond saw
and another circular saw for
straight cutting. Another new
department is also just being in.
stalled in an addition which has
just been built on the north end
of the shed, Here big monlds will
be made and carloads of sand and
crushed rock will be converted
into cement piling. etc, These ex-
tensive improvements indicate
that the Quarry company intends
to do larger business than ever
before. just now the shed Is
nearly filled with fancy cut stone
pieces for the new library build
ing in st. Paul, and other large
contracts may be landed soon.--

PROFITABLE CROP ROTATION.

better physical condition aud reason
ably free from pests at the end Of each

No hard and fast rotation system can
be laid down for any community but
the most profitable system must be
worked out for each farm and indeed
for each field. There are certain gen.
crai principles. however. that should be
borne in mind In this connection In OF.

there should be at least one ieguminous

Payne Was Not In Poverty When He
Wrote Home, Sweet Home

1t is mere than ninety years since
Home, Sweet Home" was written,
but its popularity is still worldwide,
and wherever the English language
is spoken it is known and loved be-
rause it appeals to that deep lying
instinct in humanity which is the
basis of family life.
Many stories have been written OF
it's origin, most of them more or
less inaccurate aud tending to dis
tort reality by a mass of pleasing
fiction.
Moving word pictures have been
drawn Of the starving author in his
garrett. and illustrations have been
published Of the original slowly
matched cottage" for which he was
supposedly pining, both affecting
and interesting, but not in accord
ancc with the facts. Although he
had periods of failure and hardship
as we'll as possibly briefcr periods
Of success and prosperity, it was not
while suffering from poverty that he
wrote Home. Sweet Home" bat
during time when he was living
comfortably in Paris in the PalaIs
ROYAL and having considerable sue
cess in his dramatic work.
There IL also no evidence to indl-
cate that the ''lowlv thatched cot
tagc" had any existence outside OF
the authors brain in spite of the
tradition which has been huilt up
about the Easthampton cottage.

Roads of America may mean the
very existence of the nation. accord
ing to A. G.. sBatchelder. chairman OF
the executive board of the American
Automobile association. Roads that
go somewhere, arteries OF commnnica
ton that bind the nations together,
roads serving to the fullest extent com
mercial and social and possibly mill
tary needs---these are the highways
now demanded and obtainable by that
logical federal cooperation with the
several states which has been aceentu-
ated by the facts set conciscly forth in
the stupendous European conflict, &c
cording to Mr.. Batchelder The chair.
man points to the fact that In exactly
the same manner as ii became neces
sary that the states should help their
county units In the construction OF
comprehensive road systems 1t is now
essential that the national government
shall lend aid to its state parts In the
early realization Of road plan that
will In the greatest degree weld to
gether coast and coast and lakes and
gulf
Mr. Batchelder says that the country
must have maximum opportunity for
the maximum transport of men and
munitions, and the motorcar and the
roads are the means for its accomplish,
ment. Thirty thousand miles of road
would gridiron the entire United States
with interconnecting and interlocking
highways and would embrace every
state In the Union giving each one Il
big main artery for highway travel,
according to Batchelder. who believes
that four direct east and west roads
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with
one "Y" from the great lakes TO the
Pacific coast along the northern Dor,
der, five north and south roads Dor,
der to border-and three prominent di-
agonals for important interconncctions
would be included in this total mile.
der estimates that this would mean
road requirement Of S300,0Nl. 600
This $4,000 per mile Is based ON an
average of extremes from low cost be
cause Of topography and nearby ma
terial to high cost per mile because of
contra conditions. and the figures also
include bridges and culvertS Vt the
present population and the normal in
crease during the period Of ten years
this would mean an equated payment
OF 81 cents per inhabitant rer year.
Mr. Batchelder points to the fact that
state which does not provide inter
state road connection with adjoining
states Is plainly at disadvantage
and says that road brings common
surate value for the expenditure and Is
available to those living In the terri
tory traversed. MS we'll as those who
come from a distance. He believes
that the commonwealth should build
arteries OF communication and meet
the wants of the largest number OF
people just as II Is done by the rail.

ENGINEER KELSEY
HIRED BY CITY
Continued from Page u

Mr. Kelsey, as he understood that the
city might pay $1,000 and retain the
right to select another engineer to do |
the supervising. Mr.. Ahern returned to |
the attack by saying that it appeared
to him that Mr.. Kelsey was retained
practically not only to be consulted,
but to draft plans and to pass on those
plans after they had been drafted by
himself. He objected to this way of
doing things and suggested that the
city hire Mr.. Kelsey as consulting
engineer without binding itself up in
such manner.
Mayor Sweeley said that he was res
ponsible for the suggestion that the
contract be drawn as it was. The man
who drew the plans was better quail
fled than anyone else to carry them
out. The city did not bind itself to
adopt the plans submitted by MIR. KEEL
sey, and was not prevented from get
ting others to pass upon them before
adopting them This matter was up to
the council in the first place. Later
it was up to the voters who would
have the final sayso, in the event that
the council adopted the plans of the
engineer. He said that the city had
previously employed an engineer in
the way suggested and that when 9th
err engineers attempted to proceed with
what they understood to be his plans
and failed, the consulting engineer
said that they had not actually carried
out these plans.
Councilman Boiler, replying to the
point that local engineers should be
employed, said that he as a contractor
| ao,1,r,a11od 70 moot outside C0mno-
titors and that he always had to go af-
ter the jobs himself. Mr.. Burkett said
that in such cases, the city advertised
for bids. Councilman Boiler stoutly
defended the position of Mayor Swee-
ley. with reference to employing the
same man who drafted the plans to SUI
pervise their carrying out. He moved
the adoption of the resolution to enter
the contract with Mr.. Kelsey. Coun-
, Gilman Smith seconded the motion to
; get the question before the house, but
he and Councilman Braccken seemed
to be in doubt in regard to whether
Mr.. Kelsey could hold the city for the
? five per cent, should his plans be
adopted by the council and the city
fail to construct the system. Mr.. kel-
sey said that he was willing to have
the contract read that in the event
that the bonds failed to carry or in the
event that they did carry and were not
t sold, he would not collect the five per
cent, as that was to be collected only
in case that the system was built in
accordance with his plans under his
/ supervision. City Attorney Herriott
said that the contract amply protected
2 the city in this respect, after which the
motion carried, Boiler, Smith and
, Bracken voting for it. Councilman
: Parrot was absent.
