POTATO WEEK TO
 BE OBSERVED SOON.
County Farm Bureau Issues Statement
 on Conservation of Tubers.

The week of Oct 22 to 27 has been planned for a nationwide potato week by the department of agriculture says a statement issued by the farm bureau O. New London county. It is hoped that three purposes will be accomplish ed by this: First, it is expected at that time that potatoes will be the most available an deconomical starchy food: the second is to save wheat during this time: the third is to encourage the general use of potatoes as a wheat substitute by the American house. holder.
 Now Is the time to buy potatoes in quantity for storage. Lay in winter supply while the price IS comparatively low. We experienced very high prices last spring, and no doubt they will be very expensive next spring. Potatoes may be kept in storage rooms in the basement, which should be partitioned off from the furnace room, in outdoor storage cellars and in banks or pits. When stored in cellars the potatoes may be put in barrels, boxes, baskets crates bins or on the floor, but must be protected from the light: when stored in banks or pits they are ham, dled in the same way as beets, carrots etc.: potatoes must be protected from pit must be covered with manure straw or other material in addition to several inches of earth. It is 8 good plan to place the major portion of the crop in banks or pits and small quantity in the storage room in tie cellar for immediate use. Sweet pota- toes can also be kept in pits or banks or in outdoor storage cellars, but a warm, dry place is preferable. They should be handled carefully as they are bruised easily. When only a few

 of the diocese, directing attention to
 the opening of the campaign by the
 government for the second Liberty loan
 in order to obtain a sufficient sum to
 provide the soldiers and sailors with
 what is needed to insure victory and the greatly desired achievement of
 blessed peace.
 Bishop Milan urged Catholics to sub scribe to the Liberty loan bonds with all the liberality their means would allow, recommending prompt patriot ism in thus aiding the nation in this emergency. He went into the condi- tions of the subscription in detail suggesting that persons of abundant means buy the bonds in g. way not alone to manifest patriotism but to combine with. 1t charity of high or der, naming a specific way Of doing this. taking out as many bonds as possible in the name of St. Agnes Home corporation, thus eventually helping the diocesan home for depen- dent infants at West Hartford, in which every congrega tion takes live 1y interest. Since this home was es- tablished the Sisters of Mercy in charge of it have cared for over 800 infants and 100 mothers.
 Bishop Milan also suggested that Catholic organizations might take out bonds for the same worthy cause, and in order to enable every person in the diocese to hep buy bonds, ne requested q collection Sunday, Oct Fist, in each church, reminding pastors that every child in the Sunday schools was also to be encouraged to show patriotism and charity by contributing. In this man ner substantial amount is certain to be raised for bond purchasing, which even the poorest and the youngest members of the diocese. which com prises the stats. will thus be enabled to help The plan Is in line with Bishop Nflan's sagacfty and marvellous financial management and St. Pat rick's parfshioners are already very enthusiastic over the patriotic suggeA ten.

BATHS A MONTH LONG.

The number Of baths taken daily by

It is sunlight that chiefly causes the

New shades of flowers are produced
by crossing one color with another,
somewhat as an artist mixes paints to
obtain desired shades and cOlors, but
with far more trouble and far less ac-
curacy. Sometimes on the same stem
flowers OF different colors are found,
due to hybridization or to freak of
nature, the tendency to break away
from the established type. In nature
nothing stands still. 1t Is either pro
gression or retrogression.
The range Of color for each species
seems to be confined within certain
limits, though the hybridizer is gradu-
ally extending these limits. Yellow,
white and purple are the commonest

Exhauated Soil.

Where there is exhausted soil''
usually it Is the loss Of humus that
causes the condition. Get sufficient
vegetable matter back into the soil,
and usually applying manure Is the
quickest way to accomplish this. Give

case the soil Is sour, and the fertility
will be restored. Proper cultivation
and handling thereafter, working In
vegetable matter every year, will keep
it In condition.-NewY York Sun.
