There is no mystery about building
a satisfactory storage house for sweet
potatoes. Southern farmers who are
paying large prices for patented plans
and equipment alleged to provide the
only successful way Of storing sweet
potatoes, are being defrauded. Special
ists of the United States department
of agriculture whose attention recent
ay has been called to instances in
(which farmers have paid as high as
$3.50 for sets Of plans, do not hesitate
to brand such activities as plain hum.

Misleading Reports Circulated.
| Because reports have been made and
Icirculated in the South that storage
houses recommended by the depart
ment are not satisfactory, 1t is be-
iIieyed necessary, now that the time
ho provide adequate storage for the
looming harvest is at hand, to correct
Such statements. One man with plans
ito sell has said that the shrinkage of
ssweet potatoes stored In houses de-
isigned by the government specialists
hs from 10 to 90 per cent; while in
houses of his d, "A there Is practi.
cally no shrinkage. The fallacy of
such claim, department specialists
point out, lies in the fact that shrink
age is essential to good keeping Of the
fpootatoes. Sweet potatoes stored in
lfhe type of house recommended by the
department shrink from 8 t2 70 per
iGSfht-fn Weight, not bulk-by reason
fof evaporation of surplus moisture.
Proper curing Of sweet potatoes means ans
Fgse,ting rid Of surplus moisture, and
tfhe type Of house which the special
lists suggest accomplishes this by COM
tbining the ordinary principles OF good
Ventilation with common-sense meth
tOds of construction.
fpepartment Plans Give Satisfaction.
Storage houses built according to
splans suggested By the department

WHERE SOY BEAN WILL GROW
Plant VIII Thrive Almost Anywhere
North Of Louisiana and South OF
Iowa State Line.

The soy bean is comparatively
new plant in many sections of this
country, but it will grow and do we'll
almost anywhere north Of Louisiana
and south Of Iowa. 1t can be grown to
the north and to the south Of the two
states mentioned, but its best regions
seem to be within the parallels of latl'
tude marked BY these states: Soy
beans have. In feet. been grown Y along
ths shores of. the Gulf q Mexico Ytltfhl
the best 9f success and Some. entha'
siastic growers q; s: believe they will pro-
duce Crop anywhere south Of the
Canadian boundary.
In Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Illinois soy
beans are now recognized as highly
valuable forage. In some places they
are driving out the old reliable cow
pea, as they have been found On even
better forage than the pens. Like the
peas, they serve to enrich any soil In
which they may be planted. In Ten
nessee and Arkansas the soy bean Is
particularly valuable, as the soil and
climate Of these states seem to fit Its
requirements exactly.

SOILED EGGS ARE DIsLlKED
Splendid Idea to Place Nests Where
Hens Must Walk Over Clean
Straw Before Reaching.

It is distastefuI TO the buyer to ham
die dirty eggs, and the breeder should
provide clean nests to avoid soiled
eggs. Have the nesting boxes where
the hens must walk some distance
over dry straw before getting to the
nest, and even in wet weather the feet
will be clean before reaching the nest.
IF eggs become soiled either brush
the dirt off with a dry cloth or allow
it to remain. In no case should eggs
be washed before selling on the mar
ket. Washed eggs always spoil
quicker in storage than soiled eggs.
The water applied to the shells re-
moves the gelatinous covering that
helps keep out the air and preserve
the eggs. When this covering is re-
moved, the air, germs and molds find
their way into the eggs and cause q
loss. When eggs present a shiny ap-
pearance, the buyer knows they have
been washed and should refuse them.
Nests should be protected from the
sun, rain, dew and dirt, and eggs from
stolen nests should be used at home
and never placed on the market. Buy
ers are paying good prices now for
eggs and the producer can we'll afford
to sell none but frst-class goods.

Is ready, too.
One Man Sufficient.
No stahling, no bedding, no curry
ing and 10 feeding, except by one
man who sees to filling the troughs,
hayrack and water tank. A bunch OF
work mules handled in this way and
worked hard every day will, at the
end of six months, be better and fat

Horse Would Be Lacking.
Now you never could handle bunch
Of horses In this way. 1t would only
be few days until your horses would
begin to show up bad, some would be
foundered, some crippled and some
lame. A mule seldom balks or runs
away. You often find balky horse,
and when the horse runs away he
tears up the harness and wagon or
plow and often cripples himself. It
does not take so much to raise a
mule, and before you know 1t he is
old enough to work, and you always
have plenty Of work stock and have
a few good teams to sell each year.

There Is no animal SO easily and
pleasantly handled on the farm as the
tmule, says writer in an exchange.
lAll the farmer who works a mule
needs in the way Of q barn is good
paddock or lot Of one or more acres,
iaccording to the number Of teams that
she is working. In this paddock build
q good shed suitable to whatever coun-
try or climate you are in. In this have
Ia good long rack and keep it well
filled with sweet hay, corn fodder, cane
Ior other roughage. There must be a
good trough kept well filled with corn,
foats, bran or barley. A tank supplied
with good water must be accessible.
This is all you need to handle bunch
toS work mules. When your mules
eome in from work, take the harness
loff and turn them loose in the pad
dock.
Eat, Drink and Rest
/ The mule will lie down and take a
Eol, lie there a few minutes and then
iget up, walk to the hayrack and eat

RULES FOR HANDLING EGGS
Greatest Enemy Is Heat to Both Fer
tile and Infertile Product
Some Suggestions.

Heat is the great enemy Of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farmers
are urged to follow these simple rules,
which cost nothing, but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns:
1. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
8. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
a week.
S. Sell, kill, or confne all rnale

In these days of high wheat prices,
good laying ration may consist Of
the following: Three parts cornmeal
and one part beef scrap mixed togeth-

addition a scratch ration consisting
of equal parts of cracked corn and

Richmond, Cal, March /, 1917
Editor Northwest Worker:
These remarks are prompted by an
article in your issue Of Feb, p headed
"Christianity and War" They are not
made for the purpose Of being contro-
yersial but because the question is Of
fundamental Importance. If the peo-
pie are to manage their affairs it is
as necessary that they understand
what the actuating force that moves
the universe is, as that an engineer
should know whether he is using steam
or electricity. If a personal God
who loves and hates and who cares
for the happiness of human kind is
running things it is the acme of folly
to slight His will. If on the other
hand the creative power of the uni
verse is an impersonal force that
cares no more for a man than for a
mlcrobe it is hardly necessary to
Wrestle earnestly in prayer. NotWith-
standing the alleged sermons in
stones" the information concerning
q persona. deity is all gathered from
the INSPIRED" books, The sermons
in stones" always agree with the
ideas Of the hearer.
Many Of the finest ethical senti-
ments are in the New Testament. If
ali the volume were of such character
it would add greatly to its claims.
The Trouble with the inspired bool,
is that GA every question requiring a
decision At says as much on one side
as the other. Your correspondent
asks; Have we any definite teach
lngs which make it plain just what
