cape. In cold weather both the hinged
door and the damper In the air pipe
must be closed. TIE windows in the
storage room should be darkened in
order to protect the vegetables from
too much light.
Barrels, crates, boxes or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to bullt-in bins, as 1t is pos
slble to remove them for cleaning.
Using Outside Cellars.
outdoor storage cellars or caves are
particularly good for the storage of
many vegetables. They are especially
desirable ON the farm, as they afford
convenient and inexpensive storage ia
clllties for surplus vegetables that 9TH
erwise might be lost. They possess all
the advantages of the basement stor-
age room and are superior In many re-
spects. It is possible to keep the cell
lar cool and to reduce temperature
quickly by opening the door during the
night, and closing 1t In the morning
before the air becomes warm.
AS the root cellar must be PROOF
against frost and moisture, its types
and construction vary with the geo.
graphical location. In the southern
portion of this country the structure
usually is entirely above ground and
protected by only a few inches of sod
and straw or leaves. In northern Sec
lions outdoor cellars are made almost
entirely below ground and are covered
with a foot on two of earth.
Full directions for the construction
of storage rooms and cellars and for
the storage of vegetables are contained
In Farmers Bulletin $40, "Home Stor
age OF Vegetables" which will be sent
free on request to the U. $. Depart
ment OF Agriculture.

Pastures save Grain Feeds.

From the results Of many feeding
trials with hogs ten pounds Of gain for
each bushel of corn fed. or one pound
of gain for every SO pounds OF corn.
Is all that should be expected from
feeding corn alone in dry lot. A
mixture OF one part tankage and nine
parts corn gives much better results,
usually producing one pound Of gain
for every As pounds of the mixture
fed.
The quantity OF grain needed TO pro-
duce pound OF gain is considerably
lessened II the hogs have access to
green forage, Corn fed to growing
shotes on rape should produce one
pound OF gain for every 3.6T pounds
of grain fed. The addition Of some
highly concentrated feed, such as tank,
age, meat meal, shorts or linseed meal
should reduce by one-half to three
faurths Of pound the quantity @
grain necessary to produce pound o
4 gain.

BULGARIA MUST QUIT KAISER
viii Get No Peace in the Making of
Which Germany Has a Finger.

Washington.-Bu Bulgaria, suing for
peace, with her armies beaten and her
border strongholds in the hands of
the allies, will get no peace in the
making of which Germany even in
directly has finger and no peace
leaving in her possession the slightest
portion of the spells of her inglor-
iouS part in the war as Berlin's tool.
Nor will there be any interruption
of the victorious march of the allied
forces into Bulgaria until the Bulgars
are ready 10 disarm, drive out their
German officers and advisers and sur
render as pledges of good faith such
strategic points as may be desig-
mated.
Ii the Bulgarians really are ready to
quit the war on the entente'S terms,

HOME STORAGE IS BEST

The storing of late vegetables
Is an economy for those who
grow them in sufficient quantity
for the needs of the family.
TO care for the surplus vege-
tables nothing more, in many
cases, Is required than the use of
facilities existing in or near the
home.
often the late vegetables from
small garden can be stored
with no expense.
When considerable quantities
OF vegetables are grown II Is
frequently advisable to construct
permanent storage facilities In
the form of u storage room in
the basement OF the dwelling or
under an outbuilding or to build
an outdoor cellar of wood or ma
sonry.
II permanent facilities are not
available late vegetables can be
kept in outdoor pits or banks,
requiring no cash outlay except
for labor.

BULGAR|ANS ASK
FOR PEACE TERMS
SMALLEST or THE TEuToNic
ALLIES SEEMS TO HAVE
STRUCK HER coLoRS.
secession Of the Balkan State From
the ThraiIdom of Germany Will
Prove Severe Blow to Kaiser and
Will Hasten End of War.

Amsterdam.-Bn Bulgaria, smallest OF
the Teutonic allies, seems TO have
struck her colors. Premier Malinoff
has asked for an armistice to consider
terms of peace. Whether he Is acting
upon his own responsibility as the rep
resentatiye of Il revolutionary party or
with the approval of King Ferdinand
and the government, remains in doubt.
In either case, however, there is little
doubt that Bulgaria has ceased to be
military factor in the war. Her
armies are in full retreat and her soil
has been invaded.
According to reports received here
from Berlin, the parliament has APP
proved the armistice offer and the Bull
garian commander-in-chief and the min
lister of finance have gone to the
frontier to meet the allied comman-
ders.
Bulqar Peace Aid to Allies.
Secession of the Balkan state from
the thralldom of Germany will be al
most as severe blow TO the TeutOnic
alliance as was the collapse of Rus
STA to the allies.
If Bulgaria lays down her arms,
Turkey, her armies shattered by the
coup of General Allenby in Palestine,
will be cut off from her allies. Her
lines of communication will be sew
cred, except across the Black sea-
through Rumania, or over the noun
tain peaks of Trans-Caucasia into Rus

trolled Bolsheviki is becoming steadily
weaker
With her supplies of German made
munitions and raw materials hanging
by such a slender thread. military oh
servers believe the Ottoman empire
will have no course left but TO follow
the example of her Balkan neigh
Dor.
Turkey No Longer Factor.
But it makes little difference to the
entente whether the Turk abandons
Germany and Austria. If Bulgaria
quits he can no longer be menace to
their plans.
The back door of Austria will stand
ajar before the victorious British,
French, Serbian. Greek and Italian
armies plunging ahead through the
mountains of liberated Serbia. Only
230 miles ahead of their advance
guards is Belgrade, across the Danube
from the plains of Hungary. They al
ready have pressed forward quarter
of this distance since the great Mace
DOMAIN offensive began on September
H. Once over the river they would
be passing through territory occupied
by the oppressed nationalities of Aus
tria, who have little love for the dual
empire and there would be no great
natural obstacles between them and
Budapest. Early winter in the Bal
kans with the limited means of com
munication available would present
the most serious difficulty and one
which could not be overcome before
| spring.
| With the detection of Bulgaria, 1t
would be necessary for hard pressed
Austria to throw an army across her
southern frontier, thus making an
other serious inroad upon her waning
manpower.
