Storage Of Potatoes
and Other Vegetables

1t is best to leave potatoes in the
ground as long as possible after the
vines have matured, provided the
weather remains dry and hot, accord
ing to M. f. Ahearn. associate profess
sor of horticulture in the Kansas State
Agricultural college
If this method is followed the weeds
should be permitted to grow for the
purpose OF shading the ground and
preventing sunburn and also to take
up the moisture in case of rain in Au-
gust. Rains followed by hot days and
nights will cause the potatoes to start
a second growth or to rot. Potatoes
left i'll the ground till late fall should
be hilled if the weeds are not present
In sufficient quantities to shade the
ground.
Ihere are many ways of storing po-
tatocs in the winter. A small acreage
may be stored in pits dugouts and eel
lars. The tubers keep best at tenn
perature of from 81 to SO degrees. A
higher temperature when the potatoes
are first stored will not hurt them.
When stored in the cellar the potatoes
should be placed in bins to the depth
OF about one foot or, better, in boxes
raised a few inches from the floor.
Boxes or bins may be placed in tiers
if provided with air spaces.
Parsnips. carrots, turnips and beets
will keep fresh and whole and will not
shrivel up if they are stored in boxes
filed with sand. They should not be
packed too close together, but some of
the sand should be allowed to get in
around the roots.
Celery may be stored in the same
manner. The plants just as they are
pulled from the ground should be
placed in the boxes. The plants should
be stood up, and sand should be packed
In around them.

Lions Fear Mice.

Large beasts Of prey have a strong
antipatby to rats and mice, says the
London Tit-Bits. When a mouse was
thrown into cage where there were
two lions the animals leaped away,
roaring, apparently with fright, and
making efforts to get away from the
tiny creature. A tiger roared with rage
when first introduced to mouse. Then
he lowered his muzzle to smell it, but
would have no more to do with it and
made violent efforts to break from his
cage.
Elephants screamed and trumpeted
when mice were introduced, shrinking
from them as far as their chains allow
ed. One elephant. however, more
knowing than the rest, when a couple
of mice were placed on the ground be-
fore him quietly placed his foot on
them.

Gasoline Poison,

The poisonous character of the fumes
arising from gasoline engine may be
appreciated by the following extract
from a recently published book: "If a
gasoline engine producing FIVE cubic
feet of co per minute were allowed
to run in a tightly closed garage that
was twelve feet high, fifteen feet long
and fifteen feet wide-that is, having a
capacity Of 2,75O cubic feet-it could
produce an atmosphere If the latter
were thoroughly mixed containing
about per cent CO in about five min
utes. This percentage of co in air is a
fatal proportion and would probably
kill person in less than a minute.
In fact an exposure for as long as
twenty minutes to an air containing as
little as O.25 per cent CO would make
most people very ill.,

WHEN WOMEN FISH.
II Makes the Trip Such a jolly and En-
joyabIe One.

Joyabie One.
1t does not serve to mellow q mans
disposition to take woman or two
into the boat when he goes bass fish,
ing. For women always want to fish,
yet never could they or would they
stick those horrid, nasty, wriggling
angleworms on the hook.
So, between batting their hooks and
removing the perch and pumpkin seeds
and straining your spine to keep the
boat from turning turtle and the lines
from getting snarled up, you have a
most enjoyable days outing, do you
not? Yes, you do not! I'll run the risk
of answering that question for you.
And then. when you finally hook a
five pound bass weighing at least three
pounds and eight ounces by his own
standard scales, and play him for
twenty minutes against their earnest
entreaties not to bring that big, ugly
thing into the boat or else they'd jump
out-you calmly ease up on the line and
give him back. also his freedom, do
you not? Yes, you do not!
And when the day is spent they tell
you what gorgeous time they have
had and make you promise to fetch
them again. and you promise, Of course
do you not?-Cartoons Magazine.

Remedy For Internal
Parasites of Poultry

There are perhaps new 1Ocks of poul-
try which are entirely free from intes-
tinal worms.
Worms are spread from one bird to
another usually through the eXcreta.
The worms or their eggs are expelled
by one hen or one chicken and then
picked up along with the food by an
other. Sometimes they may even be
taken in with the drinking water, and
some sorts, such as tapeworm, are prob
ably acquired by the hens eating angle
worms, snails and insects.
Young stock affected with worms
will not grow so well and are likely to
become more or less dull and depress-
ed. Worms in large numbers will have
a decided effect on the digestion and
often cause diarrhea.
The most commonly recommended
remedy for round worms is two grains
of santonine or one ounce for each $50
birds. 1t is undoubtedly best to dis
solve this in water and then use the So
luton to mix wet mash. Another
drug that is frequently used and one
that may give even better results in
the case of tapewOrms is powdered
pOmegranate root bark, a teaspoonful
for every fifty birds. An ounce of this
would probably cost not over 10 cents
and would be sufficient for probably
200 or 300.

The Misunderstood Shark.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing concerning the way in which
sharks attack victims. Some claim
that they turn over as they attack so as
to bite more readily with their reced-
ing underjaw. Others claim, accord
ing to the Popular Science Monthly,
that they attack head on, swimming
to their victim In straight line. Ac-
cOrding to j. E. Williamson, whose
work in photographing the shark un-
der water for motion picture plays
has been notably successful, the "head-
on" description Of attack is the correct
one.
Il can prove by my pictures that
shark does not turn over to bite"
states Mr.. Williamson. eff a shark
wants to pick up anything from the
bottom Of the sea he goes right down
to it as cat pounces on a bone and
picks it up. A shark does not turn
over to bite any more than any other
fish does"

Burns That Kill.

Burns are generally classified in
three degrees of severity. First degree
burns are simple reddening of the skin.
Second degree burns result in blister
in;. Third degree burns are followed
by actual destruction of the skin and
tissues.
Death is almost certain to result if
approximately one-third of the body
surface is burned. Often burns of
much less extent are fatal. Death may
result from shock. from acute kidney,
liver or blood disease resulting from
the toxins of the burned skin. or the
burns may later become infected and
kill the patient from blood poison.

BURIED BELLS OF NAKOUS,
Natures Curious Freak on the Border
of the Red Sea.


of the Red Sea.
A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders of the Red sea at a place
called Nakous, where intermittent un-
derground sounds have been heard for
an unknown number of centuries. 1t
is situated about half a mile distant
from the shore, whence long reach of
sand ascends rapidly to height of 300
feet. This reach is about eighty feet
wide and resembles an amphitheater.
being walled by low rocks.
The sounds coming up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals
of about an hour. They at first resem-
BILE low murmur, but ere long there
is heard a loud knocking somewhat like
the strokes of bell, which at the end
of about five minutes becomes so strong
as to agitate the sand.
The explanation of this curious phe-
nomenon given by the Arabs is that
there is a convent under the ground
here and that these sounds are those of
the bell which the monks ring for pray
ers. So they call it Nakous, which
means bell. The Arabs affirm that
the noise so frightens their camels
when they hear it as to render them
furious.
Scientists attribute the sound to
suppressed volcanic action, probably to
the bubbling of gas or vapors under
ground.

Steel ships differ from those Of wood
in that their hulls are made Of steel
plates riveted together instead of the
old method of using wooden planking
They are enabled to float because, being
hollow, they have what is called buoy

Of water equal in weight to its own.
The principle Of buoyancy may be test
