PROPER STORAGE FOR BETS
When Placed In Cellar Avoid Large
Piles as 1t Is Liable to Cause
Heating and Decay.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture.)
Beets should be pulled and the tops
cut off when the soil is dry. If they
are to be held in the storage room in
the basement or in an outdoor storage
cellar, they should be placed in venti.
loted barrels, loose boxes, or, better
still, in crates. If sufficient space is
available in the cellar, it is a good plan
simply to place them in small piles
along the wall. Storage in large piles
should be avoided, as it is liable to
csuse heating and decay.
For storage in banks or pits prepare
the beets as for storage in the room in
the basement or in the outdoor cellar.
Select well-drained location, make a
shallow excavation, about six inches
deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves,
or similar material, and place the beets
In conical pile on the lining. Make
the bottom of the pile about the same
size as, but not larger than, the bottom
of the excavation. Cover the beets with
same material as that used for lining
the bottom of the pit, and carry it up
several inches above the apex of the
pile of vegetables, having it extend
through the dirt covering. This serves
as ventilating fiue. and it should be
covered with a piece of tin or short
board as protection from rain. The
dirt covering should be two or three
inches thick when the vegetables are
stored. and it should be increased as
severely cold weather approaches until
it is foot or more in thickness. In
finishing the pit the dirt should be
firmed with the back of the shovel in
order to make it as nearly waterproof
as possible.
The shallow trench around the base
of the pit should have an outlet for
carrying off the water Supplement
the dirt covering with manure, straw,
corn fodder or other protecting mate
rial. Use several small pits instead of
one large one, as vegetables keep bet
ter in small pits and the entire con-
tents may be removed when the pit is
opened.

Money, Time and Labor Can Be
Saved by Taking Advantage Of
Modern Methods,
FARMERS SHOULD COMBINE
Essential That Corn Be Mature and
Past the Dough State Before Cut
Make Use Of Boys for Tramp
Ing and Packing.

Trom the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
On account of the labor shortage,
neighborhood cooperation in silo fill
ing should be highly developed during
the current fall. All the silage crops
should be saved without loss, while all
silos should be filed to capacity. Five
or six or more farmers who own silos
in one community should combine
their working forces into a crew
which should rotate from farm to farm
as the corn becomes ripe enough;
Such an arrangement resulting from
the interchange Of neighborhood farm
labor will minimize the expense OF
housing the silage crops.
It is essential that corn should not
be cut for ensllage until it is mature
and through the dough stage, as re-
peated demonstrations have shown
conclusively that corn in this condi.
ton is at the peak Of nutrient value.
The bugaboo about frosted corn being
wholly unsuitable for ensilage is fall
lacy, as corn which has been damaged
with frost can be converted into very
good ensilage if it is cut shortly after
wards. In the case of badly frosted
corn, however, there occurs a consid-
cradle loss of leaves.
Watering the Chopped Feed.
In case the corn is excessively dry
and wilted at the time of silo filling.
water should be run through rubber
hose into the cutting box and blower
during the filling process so that the
chopped feed may be wet thoroughly
and rendered succulent for future feed
ing In extreme cases where it is inn
possible to saturate the corn COM
pletely in this manner, and where wa
ter pressure is available, second hose
is sometimes carried over the top of
the silo SO that the water falling on
o board inclined against the side Of
the silo and moved at regular intervals
serves efficiently to thoroughly moisten
the forage.
Use of EIevating Attachment.
Labor in loading the corn on the
wagons in the field may be reduced by
the use of an elevating attachment,
several standard types Of which are
now on the market. This device is at

DON'T WORRY

There r. No Occasion for Panic-InAu-

age of Fatalities. Not Over One
Death Out Of Every Four Hundred
Cases According to the N. c. Board
Of Health. The Chief Danger Lies
in Complications Arising, Attacking
Principally Patients in a Rundown
Condition-ThOse who Don't Go to
Bed Soon Enough, or Those Who Get
Up Too Early.
Spanish Influenza, which appeared In
Spain in May, has all the appearance
Of grip or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippocra-
tes refers to an epidemic in 412 B. c.
which Is regarded by many to have
been influenza. Every century has had
its attacks. Beginning with 1881. this
country has had five epidemics, the
last in 1s89-1S90.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, or influenza, as it Is now
called, usually begins with a chill, fol-
lowed by aching. feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from 100
to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane or lining
of the air passages-nose. throat and
bronchial tubes; there is usually a
hard cough. especially bad at night,
and frequently all the appearances of
q severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms. not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
q purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powder. etc., may be administered by
the physician's directions to relieve
the aching. But there is no cure or
