 Disinfecting ReeeptaeTes.
 Where storage is to be in bins or have been used before, be thoroughly disinfected by spraying with solutions of formalin or copper sulphate The former should be used in the propor- tion of one pint to 20 gallons of water. The copper sulphate should be used at the rate of one pound to 9 gal Ions of water. With either solution a second spraying should be given after 24 hours.
 Storage Temperature.
 When first placed in the storage house sweet potatoes should be cured by being kept, by the use of fire, In temperature of from 80 to 90 de- gress Fahrenheit. This curing tenn perature should be maintained for from ten days 10 two weeks and should then be gradually reduced to about 5 degrees, and kept at as near this point as possible. After this, the ventilators should be left open dur t,r tb., dav in clear uarrn xvaotb.r and kept closed during the nights and In damp or rainy weather.

be transported by rail at small cost.
This fact, in connection with our

Thoroughfare Across County.
Officials of the State jefferson
Highway Association declare that
Bryan County leads all the counties
of the State along the Jefferson High
way in the amount of road improve
ment done and in the condition OF
her end of the Highway; and say that
IL all the counties had done as much
and as good road work as this coun-
ty, the highway would be a reality
instead OF a map.
The fact is that part of the JEFF
ferson Highway in this county did
not need much work, to-wit: that por
tion of the road skirting the Katy
tracks from Blue River to Caddo,
wherea lot OF work had already been
done and which is the best seven
mile stretch of road in the county.
The State convicts which were con-
tracted for by the County Commits
sioners stared to work below Col
bert and have worked enough OF the
road that they are encamped at Ca
lera. and II will not be long until
they work into Durant. There will
then remain only the road from here
to Blue River to be worked when
this county's pledge to the Highway
Association will have been fulfilled,
and 1t will require only dragging af-
ter rains to keep the road in good
condition. There is quite a lot OF
work necessary on pants of the road
north of here, escepcially on the
north side of the bridge acfoss the
Chuckwa, which is full of holes and
is a heavy climb as well. The con-
victs have been doing some good
work, and that portion of the road
they have worked looks like real road
builders had had hold of It,

When we received him in the lodge,

The order was SO badly named,
that nothing went as he had pIann-

he truly felt that he must quit.
