HINTS
Avoid Chills and Fever: Keep Out
The Mosquito

Last year we had one case of ma
laria for every five people in Arkan-
sas. We never can become a most
efficient people while so many are
burdened with this disease. The Only
way to combat it is to eliminate as
far as possible all mosquito breeding
places, by draining, by oiing the sur
faces Of all still water bodies which
cannot be drained, by cleaning up in
general, and by screening all
houses. A great many Arkansas peo-
ule fail to realize that screening pays.
Not only a home should be screened,
but every tenant house, simply be-
cause mosquito makes no distinc-
ton between white and black. He
will infect tenants in unscreened
houses and then carry the malaria
from them to the wife and children of
the landlord.
If the houses are not built so that
they cannot be screened the necessary
changes should be made at once, and
a fine mesh wire gauze should cover
the porehes, doors, windows, and ev-
cry crack. Don't forget the top of
the chimney Screening will not only
protect you from the mosquito, but
from the filthy house fly that too of
ten carries typhoid fever and dysen-
try on its hairy feet and body

Lift Your COrnS
OFF With Fingers


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
az least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati author
ity to use a drug called Freezone,
which the moment a few drops are
applied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment il is
applied, and simply shrivels the corr
or eallus without infiaming or ever
irritating the surrounding tissue OF
or skin A small bottle of freezont
will cost very little at any drug
store, but will positively rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn Of
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any Freezone he can get it al
any wholesale drug house for you.

Inoculate Brood Sows

Brood sows are scarce and too val
liable to lose, and they should be in
oculated against hog cholera. Spec
ialists with the Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas say that
brood sows, regardless of the stage of
pregnancy, may be safely treated for
hog cholera. The best method of m
oeulating brood sows in really mat
ter of choice, since field experin ents
show that whether the simultaneous
or serum alone treatment is used, the
results are practically the same. Nc

What Are You Going to Have Fer
Your Dinner

You don't need to worry about that
question next winter if your shelves
are full of home canned goods. You
can brag about your garden all winter
if you have your canned evidence on
the table. Remember that there IS
really nothing to canning fruit ane
vegetables except care, cleanliness
fresh products, jars and heat, but
take care and concentrate products,
especially soup mixtures so that each
eontainer will hold as much canned
fruit and as little water as possible.
Home canning is kitchen patriotism.

Wood Storehouses.

The man who grows potatoes on a
large scale for commercial purposes
should build regular storage
house The wooden or frame
structures are by far the most com
mon in this state. They are built with
double walls, having six or eight-inch
space between the walls This space
may be filed with dry sawdust, or II
made practically air tight, may be left
with the space untitled. If the floor
of the building is made OF concrete,
SO much the better. Bins in the
houses are Of different sizes, but pos
sibly about as good a size as any
would be about six feet long, four feet
wide, and two and one-half to three
feet deep. Bins are placed one above
another, with possibly six-inch space
between them. When built in small
sizes this way the air can circulate
more readily among the potatoes, and
damage done by bruising is not so
to ten feet square. A six-inch space
should be left between the bins and
the floor When the potatoes are
placed in the house the temperature
should be raised TO 80 to IS degrees
and held thus for week or ten days
for the purpose of drying out the sur
plus moisture. II potatoes begin to
sprout the temperature should be low
cred TO SIS 10 70 degrees. The heating
is usually done by means of wood
stove, or, in the Fort Smith district,
by gas stoves. After the drying is
complete the temperature of the house
should be kept as near 80 TO IS de
grees as possible.
Provide ventilation by means of side
windows and by fiues through the top
OF the building; close during very cold
weather

SWEET POTATO A
VALUABLE FOOD
Right Kind of a Storage House Essen
tial and Should Be Built Early to
Have Ready When Needed.
BY j. S. Knox, Horticulturist with the
Extension Division, University
of Arkansas
Build Storage Houses Early.

Possibly there is no other vegeta-
BILE SO generally grown in Arkansas as
is the sweet potato, and rightly so, be
cause it is one of the most valuable
vegetables which we can grow for
food 1t is fact that diseases cause
some loss every year, but nine-tenths
of the potatoes which go TO waste
do so because of improper stor-
age conditions. The right kind of
a storage house is essential and should
be built early in order to have it ready
by the time the potatoes are dug.
Successful Storage DEPENDS Upon
Several Factors.
Successful storage may be said to
depend upon several factors-(D ma.
turity of potatoes at digging, ca
proper drying out of the potatoes
shortly after they are dug. and 80
freedom from disease and serious
bruises when placed in storage. If po-
tatoes are dug when they are imma-
ture 1t requires a longer time TO dry
them than when they are fully mature.
showing evidence of disease should be
piled to themselves and fed to hogs or
other farm animals One diseased po-
tato placed in storage bin may be
the cause of a half dozen others rot
ting. In digging. use every possible
care to prevent the bruising or skin
ming of the potatoes, since every
wound thus made opens way for dis
ease 10 enter the potato.
The Pit or Bank Method of Storing
the Crop.
For the small home grower this
method is very satisfactory. To build
the bank or pit, select some well
drained location, and, several weeks
before the potatoes are TO be
dug, build shed. The soil under
the she'd should be number Of inch
s, say, foot, higher than the sol
on the outside This lessons the
chances of moisture rising up 70 the
potatoes. Make the Soil where the
potatoes are to be piled into plate or
saucer shape, then pile over this
layer of dry straw or leaves four to
six inches deep. Now construct two
boxes of Ike material and bore two
inch holes in them On all sides at in
tersals of IS inches to two feet These
should be placed, one horizontally
across the bed and the other joined to
1t, but placed in a vertical position.
There must, of course, be a passage
way for air from one box to the other
Pile Potatoes Carefully.
AS soon as the potatoes are dug and
have dried a while they should be
carried to the storage pit and carefully
piled in a cone shape about the box
ing 1t is thought best not TO put
over 10 to so bushels in the same pit.
When the potatoes are placed in the
bank. simply cover over with a light
covering of straw or leaves and allow
them to remain in this way fer ten
DAYS or two weeks in order to thor
oughly dry out. It is during this dry
ing or sweating process that sc many
Of cur potatoes rot. As the weather
turns colder a layer of boards or corn
stalks should be placed over the straw
and thin covering Of dirt placed over
this BY the time the weather be
comes freezing cold the ends of the
ventilator boxes should be closed and
the dirt piled on until it is four 10 six
inches deep.

Better Farm Hints --- ne
Prepare for Fall Litters

Prepare for Fall Litters
Get ready for the fall filters OF
pigs. Break up remaining stubbie
land. If the soil is too dry to hreay,
disc it and break later. During the
dry weather, harrow to conserve the
moisture and keep down weeds; then
as soon as the weather permits, plant
rye, oats or wheat. These with your
late crop of beans, peas, and peanuts
will aid greatly in solving the fedd
problem. Beans, peas and peanuts
will furnish plenty of hay, and the
rye, oats and wheat the green feed
for winter.
Plenty of Garden Calendars Left
There IS still time 70 plant Vege-
tables to can. If you haven't all you
need for family use next winter, why
not plant more. Write to the EXten=
sion Division, University OF Arkan-
sas, Fayetteville, for the Home Car
den circular, which will give you sug-
gestions for every month during the
remainder of the year. Plenty Of
garden calendars are also still avail
able for distribution.
