Home storage of vegetables is of i'm
pOrtance at all times, but especially so
now on account of the high prices OF
suitable containers for canning pur-
poses, says the bulletin from the Ma
tional Emergency Food Garden com
mission of Washington with which this
paper is cooperating in the saving of
homegrown vegetables for late fall
and winter use.
Today the bulletin discusses the
storage of such vegetables as pota-
toes, carrots, beets, turnips, satisfy,
parsnips and sometimes cabbage in
the conical pits. These pits may be
made as small as desired and several
small ones are better than one large
one, because a small amount of sew
eral different vegetables may be
stored in one pit and i'm winter the
pit may be emptied at one time and
the vegetables stored temporarily i'm
the house until they are used up. II
is an unpleasant job to open up pit
every few days in the winter time
Where several vegetables are stored
in one pit they should be separated by
straw or similar material
The conical pit should be made on

Tho Old. Old Scorpion.

Scorpions are relics Of prehistoric
times. They have been In existence
through all the changes in environment
In the millions Of years which have
elapsed they ave remained practically
the same In structural character. In
habit. There is little IL any evidence
that these animals In the past days Of
their history have ever gained hveli-
hood by means other than those EN-
ployed at the present day.-London

Learn of the seashell to love thine

generous than the hard rock; make re-
splendent with precious stoGes the arm
which rends thy side Mark thou yon

upon those who throw them it let's fal!
only delicious fruits or perfumed flow

aloud to as: Shall man be the only one
refusing to heal the hand which IS
wounded In striking him? To bless the
one who offends him?-HatiZ.

Ask Anyone Who Has Used Il

There are families who always aim
to keep bottle of Chamberlain Col
ic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house
for use in case 1t is needed, and find
that It is not only a good investment
hut saves them no end of suffering. AS
to its reliability, ask anyone who has
used 1t.

the surface of the ground 3 or inches
below. The bottom should be covered
with several inches of straw leaves or
other material upon which the vege-
tables are placed in conical pile.
When completed the pile should be
covered with several inches of straw
or leaves or other material and then
with earth the thickness of which is
determined by the winter temperature.
In the milder portions of the coun-
try few inches will suffice, but in the
colder sections foot or two will be
required, together with at least the
same thickness OF manure, corn fod.
der or similar material.
The amount of ventilation necessary
will depend upon the size of the pit.
Small pits containing only few BUSH
els or barrels of vegetables will re-
! ceive sufficient ventilation if the straw
covering is allowed to extend through
the dirt covering at the top. The top
should then be covered with a board or
piece Of tin held in place by a weight
to prevent rain entering the pit. In
larger pits ventilation may be secured
| by placing two or three pieces of
rough boards or stake up through the
center of the pile so as to form flue,
This fue should be capped by two
pieces Of boards nailed together to
form q trough to prevent rain from en-
terins.
When the pit is opened in very cold
weather the vegetables must be han
died quickly so they do not freeze. The
point of opening must be completely
closed and covered so the vegetables
cannot be frosted.
