uncertainty in company even when you
may choose it; fer temperament Is

tween going to bed at night and COM
ing down to breakfast in the morning,
and ill-adjusted feelings In even one

capacities for pleasure that lie In

safer; solitary pleasantness is more

Is debatable point whether communi-
ty cold storage plants could not be prof.

Is consigned. As a rule. the seed stock
Is In transit from the north during
dangerously cold weather. and 1t must

with the responsibility OF keeping II

Evolution of the Hat.

A hat is distinguished from a cap or
bonnet by the possession Of a brim.
The modern hat can be traced back to
the petasus worn by the ancient Ro-
mans when on journey; and hats
were also thus used by the earlier
Greeks. Not until after the Norman
conquest did the use Of hats begin in
England. A "hatte of biever" was
worn by one of the "nobels of the
lande, NETT at Clarendon" about the
middle of the twelfth century; and
Frossart describes hats that were
worn Mt Edwards court In 1910, when
the Garter order was Instituted. The
use of the scarlet hat which distin-
cuisines cardinals was sanctioned In
the thirteenth century by Pope limo

weather sets in. 1t could then be plac
ed In cold storage or In well con-
structed house of the cellar pit style
with water tight roof provided with
numerous vehtilatOrs for the free ad-
mission Of air when the outside tenn
perature permits. This practice would
remove very materially the present OBJ
lection Of the truckers to purchasing
their seed supply subject to fall de-
livery, because under good storage con-
ditions the seed could be easily kept
dormant until required for planting.
Such change would also enable the
grower to buy his seed for less money
than for midwinter delivery.
Temperature of Storage Rooms.
The temperature at which the stor-
age rooms in which seed potatoes are
usually held Is maintained at from 81
degrees to 81 degrees +. 1t is believed,
however, that 81 degrees to 3S degrees
+. would be more satisfactory tenn
pcrature.
For the last three seasons the grav-
ity brine system of refrigeration has
been used in the potato storage room
Of the department OF agriculture. With
this system, in which ice and salt are
used as q substitute for ammonia or
carbon dioXid in cooling the brine, the
maintenance of Il constant temperature
is entirely dependent upon the thor
cughness with which the surrounding
walls, ceiling and floor have been in
sulatcd and the attention given to re-
icing the coil tank and to observing
that the brine In the circulating coils
Is actually circulating. The tempera-
ture can be. raised or lowered by sim
ply varying the proportions Of ice and
salt used In the tank. Temperature
records covering a weeks time have
frequently been secured in which there
was practically no variation during the
whole period. With this system 1t has
been possible to keep seed potatoes
perfectly dormant until wanted for
planting.

ment Is by means Of trapdoors In the
floor above, through which the filing
OF the bins Is completed. Occasionally
a ventilator Is found In the roof. In
storing the potato crop in the base
ment the bins are filled from one-half
to two-thirds full from the basement
floor, and, as already stated, the re-
mainder Of the bin is filed from the
upper floor through a trapdoor over
each bin. In addition to serving use

tecting the potatoes from inclement
weather, the wooden superstructure of
these storage houses may De used for
the housing Of hay or grain or for bar
rels, sacks, farm implements and wag-
ons. The house shown in Fig. II of
the bulletin Is representative and gives
a fairly accurate conception Of the
style Of construction Of its exterior.
That such ho,ises have proved satis-
factory to the potato grower in Maine
Is evident frora the fact that practical
ly no other style Of potato storage
house is in use In that state. It is not
conceivable, however, that they will
ever supersede the dugout pit or stor-
age cellar now 80 extensively used in
the middle and far western states, and
1t is not at all probable that the latter
win ever supersede the Aroostook type
in Maine. Both have distinctive fea-
lures which peculiarly adapt them to
their own environment, but do not nec-
essarily preclude their use in other To-
calities.

House.
The artihcially refrigerated potato
storage house II as yet hardly In exist
ence. The present use Of this type Of
storage house IL confined practically to
the holding Of northern grown seed po-

The insulated frame potato storage
house is not used very extensively and
as rule IL better adapted to southern
than to northern climatic conditions.
The construction feature of such q
storage house is the thorough insula-
ton Of its walls, ceiling. doors and
windows. The type Of house described
In farmers bulletin 548 for the storage
Of sweet potatoes will serve equally
well for the Irish potato, but In the
case Of the latter no artificial heat will
be required. Facilities for heating
storage houses Of the type under dis
cussion in the north at least must be
provided for extremely cold weather.
This is usually accomplished by means
of an ordinary heating stove. This
type Of storage house is not to be rec
commended for northern locations, nor
Is 1t advocated for the south except
where poor drainage conditions will
not permit the use of the dugout or
cellar style of house. 1t is not recon-
mended because 1t cannot be 80 eco

properly ventilated cellar storage house.
The Aroostook Type Of Storage House.
The AroostOok type of storage house,
with concrete or masonry basement
walls aud wooden superstructure,
seems to be distinctively a product Of
Maine and SO far as has been observed
Is not found to any extent outside of
that state. 1t is an extensively con-
structed house and Is almost always
located on a sidehill or knoll In order
that advantage may be taken Of a
ground level entrance. Few, If any, Of
these storage houses have both front
and rear end driveway entrances on
the same ground level, but practically
all Of them have a rear ground level
basement driveway and front ground
level entrance to the wooden super
structure. When the rear entrance is
located in the end the basement Is usu.
ally divided Into number of bins on
either side OF the driveway. The floor
may or may not be of cement. Usually

bureau drawer. "See, sister, his old

Before the inner vision of both there
flashed memory of the cherished
relics their father, veteran of the
Civil war, had retained sacredly ever
since he had left the army. There was
the old-fashioned, clumsy, but solid
gold watch he had worn through all of
ais battle experience. There was a
silver loving cup his company had pre-

There were two double gold eagles,

aside nearly half century ago for a
rainy day. Alas! many of the same
