Vegetables for Winter Use.

The agricultural extension service of
the University of Vermont advises that
every home in Vermont should have
garden this year.
In this garden, plan to supply the
family table with as many of the desired
vegetables as the size of garden space
permits. Plan to include few extra
rows of string beans, peas, corn, carrots,
beets, spinach and a few extra tomato
plants to produce a surplus for canning.
Often in the home garden there are
enough vegetables wasted to keep the
table supplied all winter if they were
only put into cans, glass jars or other
wise preserved 1t is possible to can
vegetables in such a manner that they
will lose little of their attractive color
and favor, and if only the effort is made
TO care for the surplus this summer, it
will add greatly to the menu and reduce
the cost Of living next winter. Most
housewives can quantity OF fruits, jeb
lies and tomatoes, but very few attempt
the vegetables, because they canned peas
and string beans once that spoiled. These
people and others interested in canning
should write to the agricul
and ask for information concerning can
ming vegetables, or better still get the
housewives of the community interested
and ask the extension service for a can
ming demonstration this summer.
There are several vegeta bles which can
be stored in pits or cellars and which
help to make the winter meals more at
tractiye and economical. Onions, squash
and pumpkins should have cool, dry
place where they will not freeze. Gel
Try, leek, cabbage and cauliiower keep
,est in an outdoor pit but may be kept
n cold, frost-proof cellar. The roots
uch as carr Is, beets. parsnips, turnip,
-utsbagas and satisfy may be stored in
,it, or in r es OF moist seed in the cell
ar.
Celery and leek should be taken up
With roots and planted in moist soil on
eliar floor or in pit. Parsley may be
,ept growing during winter by potting.
few roots and treating them as house
'lants.
The roots for storage should be tender.
.ate-sown beets and turnips are much
etter in winter than those left frsm the
arly seedlings, which have grown hard
nd woody before being stored
To add greater variety TO the winter
tored and canned vegetables, it may be
rell to buy a quantity of sweet potatoes
hen they are cheapest and store them
/ warm dry place. In planting the
arden, prepare for winter.

MITES IN POULTRY HOUSES.
Crude Petroleum Sprays Will Make Old
Yards Habitable.

Lice by day and mites by night furnish
the unhappy condition of poultry kept
under insanitary surroundings Treat
ments for lice are not effective for mites
because the latter work only at night,
making raids on the fowls from their
hiding places in crevices of the roosts and
cracks of the building. To destroy mites
and keep the flock free of their depreda-
tions, insecticide sprays and a sanitary
building are necessary. In mites and
Lice on Poultry" farmers bulletin SOL,
F. c. Bishopp and H. p Wood of the bu
reau of entomology, Z. S. department of
agriculture, tells how complete renova
ton can be done.
The presence of mites is indicated by
small black and white specks on the
roosts-the excrement of these insects.
The first step is to get rid OF the hiding
places so far as possible. The roosts
should be taken down and all unneces-
sary boards and boxes removed. In
heavily infested houses the mites are to
be found in all parts of the building, in
Guiding the roof. Where they are less
numerous, the infestations usually are
confined to the roosts and nests and the
walls Immediately adjacent. For small
coops a hand atomizer will suffice for
applying insecticides as sprays, but for
larger houses bucket pump knapsack
sprayer, or barrel pump is desirable. A
rather coarse spray should be applied
from all angles and thoroughly driven
into the cracks. The floor also should be
treated, as many mites fall to the floor
when the roosts are being removed.
OF the several materials that have
proved effective, one Of the sn-called
wood preserves, consisting of certain coal
tar products, known as anthracene oil,
with zinc Chord added, has given par
tieularly good results. Its repelling pow
or lasts for months. The cost is about ST.
gallon, but twice the quantity may be
obtained by reducing with equal parts of
kerosene
Crude petroleum is almost as effective, |
retains its killing power for several
weeks, and in most localities is very |
cheap. 1t will spray better If thinned
with one part of kerosene to four parts
OF crude oil.
Both of these materials often contain
foreign particles which should be strained |
out before spraying is begun. 1t has
UttH IoutlQ bDdJ one
of either of these materials will COM
pletely eradicate the mites from an in
Tested chicken house, but ordinarily it is
advisab bic to make a second application
month after the first, and in some cases
third treatment is required. These sub
sequent applications may be made with
q brush, using the materials pure and
covering only the roosts, their supports,
the walls adjoining, and the nests if they
are infested. This method of application
is effective for the first treatment also if
the houses are not heavily infested.
Poultry should be kept out Of the treated
buildings until the material is well dried
into the wood.
Used as dip, crude petroleum will
also destroy the small mite which causes
scaly leg. In dipping for this mite the
solution should not be allowed to reach
the flesh above the infestation, or to get
on the feathers.

The Use of Granite in House Building

The Use of Granite In House Building
Several years ago the Norwegian gov
eminent gave travelling scholarship to
j. Holmgren. The young man took sd
vantage of this opportunity to make an
investigation OF the use of granite for
house building in Norway and Scotland
and his report has recently become avail.
able. Mr.. Holmgren describes the earlier
efforts in Norway TO make the natural
stone of the country a common build
ing material. In Norway tie stone hss
mostly been used as an external coating
for brick walls. These often proved
damp. first, because of leakage in the ma
sonry, allowing water TO penetrate from
the outside, and, second, because of the
condensation of the atmospheric mois-
ture of the room. The method in Scot
land, in which the walls throughout were
of granite well packed with chips and
lime mortar, is much better and is not
open to this objection. Perhaps one rea-
son for this is that the walls inside are
lined with lsth and plaster thing that
has until now not been used in Norway.
This forms an isolating air mantle
around the house.
Mr. Holmgren further finds that gran
lite houses are built cheaper in Scotland
than in Norway. One OF the reasons for
this is the use Of granite throughout the
walls. which makes il possible for the
quarries to sell not only the choice mate
rial as in Norway, but also the poorer
qualities, the average price Of the stone
becoming the lowest possible. Another
reason is the predominant use Of regu-
lsriy coursed masonry. the better organ
iEstion of the work. and the use Of prae-
teal cranes for handling the stone.
